Starting at age 14, Fischer played in eight United States Championships, winning each by at least a one-point margin. At 15, Fischer became both the youngest grandmaster up to that time and the youngest candidate for the World Championship.
At age 20, Fischer won the 1963–64 U.S. Championship with 11/11, the only perfect score in the history of the tournament. His book My 60 Memorable Games, published in 1969, is regarded as a classic work of chess literature.

In July 1971, he became the first official FIDE number-one-rated player.

The game of Black corresponds to the requirements of a position. If White can retain the bishop pair this can prove a double-edged sword. Here though, there is congestion in the white camp. 15.Qf2 (15.Qe3 Ne6!) 15...Ng4! 16.Bxd8 Nxf2 17.Kxf2 Rexd8.

Important - Black would like to have the option of opening the a-file in various scenarios. 17...g5 or 17...Nc6 would have been met by 18.b5.
