Read by Ray Porter.
Frank Brady chronicles the brilliant yet troubled life of iconic chess master Bobby Fischer. An enigmatic genius, Fischer is best remembered for defeating Soviet chess champion Boris Spassky in 1972. However, the victory was overshadowed by the exorbitant demands Fischer made before the match and is subsequent decent into irrelevance. A rematch with Spassky in 1992 put Fischer back in the spotlight, but also got him into trouble with the American government.
