Anthony Saidy (born May 16, 1937) is an International Master of chess a retired physician and author. He competed 8 times in the U.S. Chess Championship , his highest placement being 4th. He won the 1960 Canadian Open Chess Championship. He is the author of several chess books, including ''The Battle of Chess Ideas'', and ''The World of Chess'' (with Norman Lessing). His most recent book, (''1983, a Dialectical Novel'' ), is a work of "what if" political fiction inspired by Saidy's four sojourns in the USSR, during which he was able to get to know Russians from all walks of life in both public and intimate settings. Harrison Salisbury, Pulitzer Prize-winning Moscow correspondent of the ''New York Times'', said that it had the "ring of truth." As an older mentor he befriended Robert James Fischer (Bobby Fischer). It was in Saidy's family home in Douglaston, Long Island that Fischer secluded himself prior to the World Chess Championship 1972. Saidy et al successfully encouraged the apparently reluctant Fischer to go to Iceland, where he won the world crown. Saidy is the son of playwright Fred Saidy. ==Books== *''1967 U.S. Open Chess Championship : Atlanta, Georgia'' (with L.
