Book Summary
Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess is a classic, beginner-friendly chess instruction book first published in 1966. Instead of lengthy prose or theory, the book uses a programmed learning format: each page poses a tactical puzzle or question, and if you answer incorrectly, you're directed back to review until the correct response is found . The focus is almost entirely on checkmate patterns—especially back-rank mates—and aims to engrain quick recognition through repetition, without requiring familiarity with chess notation . It's reportedly sold over one million copies, making it arguably the best-selling chess book ever .
About the Authors
Bobby Fischer – The legendary American chess grandmaster and 11th World Chess Champion, Fischer was at the pinnacle of his career around the time of the book’s creation. While his name headlines the title, most experts agree he contributed only some ideas and lent his reputation; the bulk of the work—outlining, formatting, and editing—was handled by others .
Stuart Margulies – A chess master and seasoned authority on programmed learning, Margulies had authored over forty instructional books in reading and education. He played a central role in shaping and structuring the teaching model in this book .
Donn (or Donn) Mosenfelder – Owner of the company behind the book’s development, Mosenfelder authored 25+ books on basic reading, writing, and math. His role was primarily as the educational designer and production lead rather than a chess expert
