BOBBY FISCHER SWORE BY THIS BOOK

in English in 2008. Bobby had to rely on
his mother's expertise in Russian to
translate the difficult part of the
1956 Russian Edition!]

Bobby Fischer: Endgame (2012), pages 81-82.
Has anyone out there read Lipnitsky and
successfully applied his teachings to improve
play in your own tournament games?
