Bobby Fischer is not alone in creating antics away from the chess board. His understudies, the royal game's masters, players, fans, coaches, parents, tournament officials, and hangers-on, have created their own "tales from the wild side" escapades. This book chronicles those tales. Over the board chess experience takes a back seat to these anecdotes of human interest, human follies and quirky behavior. Lean back and enjoy this peek at human conduct on the sidelines of the chess universe.
