Did Bobby Fischer actually write his bestseller primer "Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess", or was it written by a ghost writer? I often ask myself this question because it seems very unlikely (to me, at least) that Bobby could keep interest in writing a book in which half of the book is about one or two-move mates, in other words, very simple tactics, and the other half doesn't go much deeper than that.

Somewhere in my readings I stumbled over an account of someone at a major tourney, who found Michail Tal watching TV in a corner. The program he was watching was a program for very early chess beginners. He author expressed his surprise, and noted Tals answer -- he said something about rediscovering chess with fresh eyes or something like that. Education is very different from professional interest -- I don't know just what Fisher did in the first area, but I would not hold it for entirely impossible that he might have had thoughts about it.

Basically, no.
It was co-authored by Stuart Margulies and Don Mosenfelder, and while Fischer may have contributed a little, it is generally accepted that he just lent his name to the project.
