Quotation Time #3: Preparing to play Fischer

   It's time for another installment of our popular new feature,
   "Quotation Time". Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to
   identify the writer and discuss the quote:

     I took with me several hundred of Fischer's games and set off to
     the Black Sea for two weeks to prepare for the match. Fischer's
     games did not provide any surprises with their strategic ideas.
     These were known to any experienced player from old games (even
     before Fischer). But the American grandmaster's tactical
     resourcesfulness, his energy in carrying out his plans, and his
     striving for activity at the very first opportunity were
     staggering.
