Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess is a 1994 chess video game developed by Bookup, Inc. and published by Mission Studios for MS-DOS.
The game's 300 tutorials are based on the chess book Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess (1966), co-authored by grandmaster Bobby Fischer. Although the tutorials are displayed from a pseudo-3D board view, the game can only be played from a 2D view.[2] The tutorials feature a menu that allows to rewind, pause, and forward the lesson.[3] Included with the game is a multimedia version of Fred Wilson's book A Picture History of Chess (1981).[2][4] The game features 500 of Fischer's matches, a lesson maker tool (intended for teachers and coaches), and SVGA graphics.[3][5] The color of the chessboard can be changed but not the appearance of the chess pieces.[3]
