I recommend The Guardian's Bobby Fischer obituary for the story of a truly remarkable life, written by a fellow chess player.
I also recommend Prefab Sprout's debut album Swoon, from which Cue Fanfare is taken. It's raw but dazzlingly intelligent and ambitious (a bit like Bobby Fischer I guess), and it's probably my favourite Prefab Sprout album.
