 | | Open Defence: <Lashab> I dont think I called 7.b4 antipositional, in fact I think it was rooted on a positional principle and for unclear compensation later on in the game |
|
| Apr-17-12 | | Everett: Fischer summons the spirit of Marshall and Bronstein with 7.b4!? |

 | | HeMateMe: In his book about the '92 rematch <No Regrets> Seirawan said that "this game would give hope to wing gambiteers everywere." |
|
| May-21-12 | | lost in space: One of the best game fisher played ...not only in the '92 match. Stunning tactics.. Have a look how he use his knights. Great. 
click for larger view with Black to play and I don't see any chance for Black to survive. |

| Aug-29-12 | | Big Pawn: This game has that Paul Morphy feel to it if you ask me. Does anybody else feel the same way? |
|
| Aug-29-12 | | RookFile: Sure. Except that Spassky defended better than Morphy's opponents usually did. |
|
| Jan-03-13 | | leka: Fischer played two master pieces in 1992.This one The Rossolimo attack and one the kings indian the move 9..knight d7!!!.But Fischer did not played the whole match this level.Spassky was 2598 elo rating the worldranking 167th in 1992.Fischer rating only 2657 in the whole match.Fischer was 49 years old.Lasker at age 56 years won the New York tournament in 1924 the toughest tournament that year.Capablanca won in 1936 in Nottingham and Moscow at age 48 |
|
| Jan-03-13 | | RookFile: Yes, yes, but that wasn't Spassky's strength. He had been lazy and ran around making draws left and right for about 10 years, which lowered his rating. However, it's unreasonable to think that a champion of the world who was highly motivated and got it together to play a match - against Bobby Fischer of all people - would actually be playing at only a 25xx something level. That would be kid stuff for guys like Spassky and Fischer, the type of strength Spassky was when he was world junior champion. Considering that the following year he narrowly lost 5.5 to 4.5 to 2640 rated Judith Polgar, you would have to figure that Spassky more reasonably was 2620 or something in strength. Fischer's 10 wins to 5, 15 draws performance should be calculated against 2620 opposition to find it's true performance rating. |

 | | PawnSac: yea yea we all know every chess player gets weaker as he gets older. the waning strength means concentration and drive is not as high, and of course will not perform as well. but putting all that aside... I'm happy to see a couple more brilliant games, aren't you? I mean after all, there were 3 or 4 really superb games in the bunch just for our entertainment. It's better than no match at all, right?! And both Fischer and Spassky play far better chess in their old age than the majority here at our best. And maybe a few others in history had a little better performance than these guys in their later years (like Korchnoi for example), but remember... Fischer was away from ALL serious competition for 20 years (except for training the Polgar girls) so i'm impressed he did as well as he did. |

| | PawnSac: <Lashab: Some people like <Open Defence> and <offramp> criticize Fischer's 7.b4 because for them it seems it's old and antipositional... The Houdini evaluation after 7. b4 is -0.07, that means White has given up a bit(0.05) of advantage but is still fine, it's an equal position... So what? I enjoyed a nice interesting game with tactics, not 1000 times seen and analyzed so called "normal" moves... > The ones who criticize miss the whole point! Fischer was out of competition for 20 years. Spassky was at least occasionally playing and checking current lines and fashion. A game like this after b4 is exactly what Bobby needed to use for prepared analysis. It is almost a guarantee to pull Spassky out of any research, and toss him problems over the board. Problems that Bobby has prepared for in advance! It would be highly unlikely Boris looked at this line previously. Under the circumstances, that -.07 eval is meaningless since the variation will ultimately produce a win!
Yea maybe Bobby was much older, but he was still capable, like Kasparov, to produce very sharp novelties and refutations from deep and accurate opening research and preparation. The Ruy exchange var game is a perfect example. |
|
| Jan-06-13 | | RookFile: The great grandmaster comes up with wonderful play in this game. As is often the case, it all seems so easy - unless you're the poor player who has to play against him. |

| | PawnSac: <cruiseyleemorph: RIP Bobby.
if time travel is ever invented to go back before it was invented that is one thing I would do! Morphy V Fischer wow!!!!!! ;-) Maybe there playing in heaven now or maybe Fischer is playing for hell and Morphy for heaven ;-) > I don't think either is playing for heaven...
They were both one hell-of-a player! <grin> |
|
| Jan-06-13 | | Wyatt Gwyon: It's truly impressive that Fischer could summon this level of play in '92. |

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/... |
|
| Mar-31-13 | | leka: Viktor Korchnoi has record against Spssky in 1971-1978 10.5/17 61,76%.Fischer beat Spassky in 1972 12.5/20 62.5% score.Korchnoi in the chess olympiad in 1978 79.8% score.Korchnoi was at his best those years from 1973 to 1978.No one gave A.Alekhine no chance against a chess machine Capablanca.Alekhine-Capablanca 6-3 win for Alekhine. Fischer made 3 good games against Spasky in 1992.One kings indian 9..knight d7!!! One the Ruy Lopez 50 moves win 40.Knight h4!!! And this one the Rossolimo attack.What game was the best in 1992 this one Fischer-Spassky.Or a crazy Scotch Kasparov-Short.Kasparov sacrifed two minor piecies and used his double pawns in the h-file to beat Short.Is their any more Informator the best game of the year award.I wanna know the best voting in Informator in 1992 |
|
| Mar-31-13 | | leka: I bet Fischer got his a heaven seat because he turned down two a big pay days.The Philippine dictator offred 5 million dollars a prize money in 1974 a match Fischer-Karpov.Todays that 5 million is about 21,6 million.Fischer said no thanks.The Dutch offred one million dollars a match Fischer-Timman in 1982.Fischer said no thanks.Today that thhe Dutch offer 3,6 million.Fischer said no thanks.In the bible there are two Jesus teachings that the rich man do not go to haeven.Or a chance of i in 100 million.Fischer was suffering 1973-1992 a poor man.And Fischer was 100% jew like Jesus.The money hungry jew had taken those 25,2 million matches.Will Teofilo Stevenson got his place in haeven.Because they were offer from USA 9 million dollars Boxing match Muhammad Ali-T.Stevenson.I believe Castro turned it down |
|
| Mar-31-13 | | leka: By the way.Paul Morphy his father left P.Morphy 6 million dollars worth of todays money.He was a rich man.Did Morphy followed Jesus teaching left all you money to the poor and follow me.That is in the bible |
|
| Mar-31-13 | | leka: In the hell.They have a match Paul Morphy-Ignaz Kolisch.Kolisch made millions in the stock market and stopped playing chess.Ignaz Kolisch had a 17 move mate attack against Steinitz in 1867 after Stenitz 38.Bishop b3.It is the best match ever.More an amazing than Fischer-Karpov in 1974 if Fischer had played |

| Mar-31-13 | | diceman: <cruiseyleemorph: RIP Bobby. if time travel is ever invented to go back before it was invented that is one thing I would do! Morphy V Fischer wow!!!!!! ;-) Maybe there playing in heaven now > If they’re playing in heaven its
Fischer 11,871
Morphy 7496
in classical games.
If they’re playing in hell its
0/0
as Fischer has walked out, due to playing and lighting conditions. |
|
| Apr-01-13 | | leka: If Fischer-Morphy match would end 11871-7496 that gives us Fischer beat Morphy a score 61.29%.I do not believe that Morphy is that weak.Even against Spassky Fischer scored 17 wins 28 draws 11 losess.Fischer beart Spassky by a score 55.35%.Paul Morphy was better than Spassky.And P.Morphy tought a single move about 2 minutes.Thinking times Fischer-Morphy Fischer 2.24 hours per 40 moves and Morphy 1.20 hours per 40 moves.Fischer 140 minutes of thinking Morphy 80 minutes of thinking |

| Dec-23-13 | | Owl: Fischer double Knights cause havoc against Spassky double Bishps |
|
| Feb-28-14 | | MarkFinan: I really really like this game. That shocks me a little because even though I've been through these 92 games before I don't remember this one and also there are glimpses of the early Fischer, the teenage Bobby Fischer even! I'll bet an engine finds a lot of improvements, but what the heck, it's still a really good game of chess by 2 of the all time greats, 😃 |
