"Chess is life." - Bobby Fisher

Fisher Random and Associated Essays discusses a wide range of interwoven themes. The centerpiece is the essay on Fisher Random, Bobby Fisher's stroke of genius which, according to the author, was Fisher's "last and greatest move"; indeed, the greatest move in the history of chess with implications extending far beyond the game of chess.

Other essays cover topics ranging from artificially aged blue jeans and music theory to the usefulness of self-deception and the impossibility of being an individual.

Written in a clear, entertaining and concise style, Fisher Random and Associated Essays is above all a book of ideas which combines subtle humor with interpretation and social observation.
