 | | beatgiant: For reference, here are two White successes with early h3/d3. Keres vs F J Perez, 1943
Geller vs I Pogrebissky, 1949
In both cases White soon opened with a4 and d4. |
|
| Jan-13-09 | | WhiteRook48: why not 41. Bxf4? |
|
| Feb-01-09 | | WhiteRook48: although 41. Kf1 makes Black resign |
|
| Aug-02-09 | | malu: Because it would just lose the passed pawn. 41. Bxf4 Rxd7 42. Qc3 ( for example ) gxf4 |

| Aug-02-09 | | AnalyzeThis: <beatgiant: For reference, here are two White successes with early h3/d3.> In other words, GMs for the last 60 years have felt that this approach isn't a good idea. |
|
| Aug-15-09 | | tentsewang: The late Fischer both predicts his opponent ahead, and catches up with earlier targets that came to be possible later. What a Magnificent game with pure precision! |
|
| Dec-13-10 | | BobbyDigital80: I can't believe some of the comments on this game. Of course h3 and d3 are good moves. Black's ...Bg4 is an inaccuracy. It's only good if white has already played d4 because then ...Bg4 puts added pressure on the pawn. With the pawn still at home, ...Bg4 looks pointless because white can play h3 and d3. That's the whole point. |
|
| Jan-11-11 | | Damianx: AS BObbyD80 points out H3 is a good move i,ve seen countless Fisher games where he plays it and i,ve read Fishers comments that Bg4 is a bad move almost a blunder again as BobbyD80 states |

Interesting. What strategy is suggested if Black plays as <RookFile> suggested, with 10...Qd7, willing to delay castling, willing to respond to g4 with ...Bxg4 in some cases, and ready to play for ...g5 aiming to break open White's kingside? Would 10...Qd7 11. g4 immediately be the right idea? At that point probably 11...Bxg4 is not quite good enough for Black, right? |

That's the whole point. > If Bg4 is an inaccuracy, h3 is the wrong move order to exploit it. Better is d3, waiting for black to castle. You've got other waiting moves with white possible, like Nbd2 or even a4. It's best to hold off on h3 until black actually castles kingside. Why give black a chance to storm your king? |

| Nov-17-11 | | tonsillolith: Watching White's smooth expansion using the passed pawn, it's easy to overlook how all the while, his e5 bishop is guarding the pawn on b2, which I'm sure is no accident. Furthermore, when the bishop is threatened with capture, White can retake with another pieces to guard b2. The better I get at chess, the more I appreciate subtleties like that, watching how grandmasters have lots of details taken care of, even in the parts of the board where the focus is not. Obviously if these are the subtleties that excite me, then I can't be that good at chess yet. But whatever! |

 | | fearlessone: Tricky Camillo! Last move 40. ... Nf4+ if 41. Qxf4?? is total illusion even though all lines win except one and that move is Qxd7 by black with equal game! |
|
Jan-31-19
| | fearlessone: After Fischers 41. Kf1! Ne6 counterattacking whites queen. White has winning move, the crusher is 42. Rxe6!! fxe6 43. Bxd8 winning easily. |

| | fearlessone: 41. Bxf4?? is met by Rxd7!! with equal game for black. |

|
| Mar-10-22 | | Granny O Doul: An old time master once played 7...Bg4 against me and I played 8. d3, as the books I'd read suggested, and it turned out ok. Still, I'm skeptical about Black's chances of punishing an early h3 with any queenside castling plans. I first saw this game in Fred Reinfeld's "Great Games by Chess Prodigies" which based on dates must have been among his last two or three dozen. The book's four sections were on Morphy, Capablanca, Reshevsky, and Fischer. "Masterly play by White". |

| Jan-11-24 | | Polemarque: Attilio or Antillo ? |

 | | OhioChessFan: <Pole> I've had a look and can't say for sure. I'll keep working on it. |

| | OhioChessFan: I found a newspaper reference to "Attilio" Di Camillo, a chess master in Philadelphia, in 1957. The Chronicle Star the Moss Point advertiser. June 30, 1961. I am having trouble accessing newspaper archives, but he was in the top 15 finishers in a US Open, so a pretty notable player. |
|
| Jan-13-24 | | Polemarque: Thanks OCF! |
|
| Jan-13-24 | | FM David H. Levin: If Black tries 14...Nxg4, then 15.hxg4 Qxg4+ 16.Ng3 Qxf3 17.Nxh5. The last move in this sequence illustrates a type of x-ray that I've seldom seen. |
|
| Aug-22-24 | | N.O.F. NAJDORF: 31...Nxd6 32. Rd1 Ra6 33. Qd2 winning a piece
35. Qxb5 Rc5 winning a piece |

| May-11-25 | | goodevans: Having read through some of the comments before I played through the game, I was quite surprised to see just how close it was. Black was right in this until his fatal mistake of simply playing ...Nd3 and ...Rc8 in the wrong order. That let Bobby play Qb7 and there was no coming back from that. Played in the opposite order would have given an interesting passage of play, for instance <33...Rc8 34.Qxb5 Nd3>: 
click for larger viewAs well as attacking the R, Black threatens 35...Rc5 and there's only one good way to counter that... <35.Ra1!>
Now 35...Rc5 would be met by 36.Qb7, winning, but Black now has... <35...Ra8>
White can't avoid the exchange of Rs (else 36...Ra5) and Black will follow up with ...Qa8+ and an equal position (in fact a draw by repetition in many lines). Small margins. |
