FISCHER, Robert (1943-2008). An archive featuring an autograph letter signed ("Bobby") to Regina Pustan, Brooklyn, 12 October 1965. – Autograph score sheet, 2 March 1956. Fischer versus Jenkins. – Photo document, New York City Parks Department Tennis Permit, 1957. – Together with three period photographs of Fischer, c.1956-57; Deutsche Post telegram from Regina Pustan to Fischer, 23 September 1965; and 14 carbon autograph score sheets, February 1956 and December 1959.
Letter, two pages, 150 x 230mm; score sheets, 14 pp., various sizes, average 140 x 280, ten on Manhattan Chess Club letterhead (staining to two carbons).
An archive documenting pivotal years in Bobby Fischer's career. The young prodigy joined the Manhattan Chess Club in the summer of 1955 at age 12, and over the next year his game quickly transformed. His notoriety began with stunning performances at the U.S. Junior Chess championship in July 1956 and the Rosenwald Memorial tournament in October, in which Fischer beat Donald Byrne – one of the strongest American players of the decade – in what has been called the "Game of the Century." The archive includes scoresheets from three 1956 matches that predate those early triumphs. The balance are from December 1959 and include matches against Byrne, Bisguier, and others.
Fischer's 1965 letter to his mother (who by this time was married to her second husband, Cyril Pustan, and visiting East Germany) describes his successful performance in the José Capablaca Memorial Tournament in Havana, Cuba. "The tournament was very exciting at the very end," he writes. It was "neck n' neck going into the last round…I tied for second." He further recounts the heavy press coverage, which resulted from the fact that the U.S. State Department had denied him permission to travel to the club, so he participated via telex from the Marshall Chess Club in New York. Provenance: Regina (Fischer) Pustan – Joan Fischer (by descent to) – Russell Targ.
