Even since his death, new editions have come out promising that there have been no changes from the original, but researchers have discovered hundreds of changes in the new editions that supposedly contain no changes. As a result, Fischer famously went on the radio to denounce those who claimed to have improved on his work. It turned out that what they thought were mistakes by Fischer were mistakes by themselves. Unfortunately, there have been many efforts by other authors and contributors to "improve" on Fischer's work by converting the text into algebraic notation and then correcting what they thought were mistakes in analysis. This is an exact reproduction of the original 1969 classic work, "My 60 Memorable Games" by Bobby Fischer. So, in reality the correction was wrong and the original note by Fischer was correct.This is an exact reproduction of the original 1969 classic work, "My 60 Memorable Games" by Bobby Fischer. Unfortunately, in the course of “correcting” Fischer's “mistakes”, the English grandmaster made mistakes of his own, because one “correction” required an illegal move, as the piece was pinned, as otherwise the king would have been in check. Batsford hired English Grandmaster Nunn to go through the book and correct any mistakes in Fischer's analysis. To make matters much worse, the Batsford edition translated all the moves from Descriptive Notation as in P-K4 into Algebraic Notation as in e4. However, he even more vehemently objected to the revision by the English publisher Batsford, as he had not given them permission to reprint his work even though they had a contractual right to reprint his work by virtue of an agreement they had with the original publisher, Simon and Schuster. This translation is famous because it was denounced vehemently by Bobby Fischer in his radio broadcasts because this translation was not authorized by him. This is the infamous translation into Russian of the famous work by Bobby Fischer “My 60 Memorable Games”. So, in reality the correction was wrong and the original note by Fischer was correct.
