Jun-04-08  Xeroxx: I think we would have prefered 16. ...Rae8 instead of 16. ..Nxe3
Jun-04-08  RookFile: I agree with you. Fischer played like a well oiled machine from this point forward, in bringing home the victory.
Dec-16-08  Helios727: Why did black resign?
Dec-16-08  Ychromosome: <Helios727> White's passed pawn will force black to give up material.

  kingscrusher: Black resigned because for example:

35... Rc7

36. Bh3!! (supports Rg1+ threat, protects pawn, and also supports the c8 square)

Bg6

37.Rc8! Rb8
38.Ree8 Bg7
39.Rxf8+ Bxd6
40.d8(Q)

Cheers, K

  kingscrusher: As another example

If 35..b4 then

36.Be4! threatens Rg1+ and cuts off bishop from g6

If now
36...a5 then
37.Rg1+Bg7
38.Rxf8+ Kxf8
39.d8(Q)

If instead
36...Bxe4+
37. Nxe4 Kg7
38.Rxf8+ Kxf8
39.d8(Q)
