Fighting Chess with Hikaru Nakamura

This is the very first book to focus exclusively on Hikaru Nakamura, the greatest American chess player since the legendary Robert James Fischer. The book features a prologue penned by Lubomir Kavalek, who was none other than Bobby's insider and supporter at the match of the century against Boris Spasski in 1972. In this book, grandmaster Karsten Muller from Hamburg and chess journalist Raymund Stolze from Berlin document the 24-year-old's fascinating journey to the top of world chess. Interestingly, Hikaru was not a typical child prodigy, and at his first Junior World Championships did not even make it onto the winners' podium. Although he won a World Cup medal aged just 13, today he creates true miracles. See more
