| Oct-11-02 | | drukenknight: The inscrutable game 6. I don't suppose anyone could show me a forced win from the final position can they? |
|
Oct-11-02
 | | Sneaky: It's definitely a forced win. The main threat is 42.Rf8+ Qxf8 43. Qxf8+ Kh7 44. Bd3 mate. How can Black possibly plan on stopping it? on 41...Rg7 42. Qxh6+ Kg8 43. e7+ Qf7 44. e8=R mate or 41...Kg7 42. Qxh6+ Kg8 43. Rf4 etc. |
|
| Oct-11-02 | | drukenknight: The adjourned session is resumed and a rather nervous Boris plays through the opening moves. Spectators at Moscows Central Auditorium are not hopeful. 41...Kg7 42. Qxh6+ Kg8 43. Rf4 e3 |
|
| Dec-02-02 | | drukenknight: Here it is game Six of FischerSpassky. That last line I posted makes no sense, there is no 43...e3. So I have no idea now what the idea was then probably pushing the d pawn. This one I havent looked at since then. |
|
| Dec-02-02 | | Kulla Tierchen: It is considered one of Fischer's most brilliant games. Grandmasters resign in positions that are lost, but too subtle for most people to appreciate. In this case, however, mate was inevitable. |
|
| Dec-02-02 | | PVS: Rf7 looks murderous to me. |
|
| Dec-02-02 | | drukenknight: yeah this looks over, I dont know what I was thinking when I posted this. Game 5 was what I was looking at on turkey day. |
|
| Dec-02-02 | | drukenknight: it seems that in the opening spassky could have taken the wind out of his sails simply by checking on the q side w/ e.g. 11....Qb4+ after that chance is gone why not hit the queen w/ 12...Bd7? |
|
| Dec-02-02 | | Kenneth Sterling: After the opening 1. c4 e6 2. Nf3 d5 3. d4 he was probably in shock. |
|
| Dec-02-02 | | drukenknight: I dunno there are plenty of Fischer games that start out as English. Lots of Fischer games that involve symmettry on the q side, you could rely on that as a guide to what he will do. There are a number of games w/ Benko that are like reversed K Indians. And there is one w/ Geller that is English and very symmetrical. There's a lot of symm English games in his career, I went through some of them. This doesnt really seem that shocking for someone who is not afraid to play symmetrically. |
|
| Dec-02-02 | | PVS: <plenty of Fischer games start out as English> How many transpose into the Queen's Gambit Declined? |
|
| Dec-02-02 | | drukenknight: this game vs pachman has a position that looks like q gambit exchange version, in reverse:; Pachman vs Fischer, 1966 |
|
| Dec-02-02 | | drukenknight: his game vs Reshevsky in 1970 interzonal is like that too, but it is not in the data base. Too bad, it has a funny trap at the end. Reshevsky had 2 minutes left for his last 10 moves when he messed up. |
|
| Dec-02-02 | | Kenneth Sterling: Even in 1970 Reshevsky was a tough guy to trap. |
|
| Dec-02-02 | | drukenknight: The Reshevsky Fischer series is really fun to see. You like endgames Kenneth? What is your opinion on this one; the fun really begins with whites 37th move. Hey! COme to think of it, this is another one of those oh-so-rare Fischer Q Gambit games. Reshevsky vs Fischer, 1961 |
|
Dec-02-02
| | Sneaky: My favorite Bobby-vs-Sammy game is this one -- Fischer vs Reshevsky, 1958 Fischer sacs a bishop in the opening and soon Sammy is giving up the queen. |
|
Dec-02-02
| | Sneaky: <oh-so-rare Fischer Q Gambit games> They're only rare when Fischer is white. |
|
| Dec-03-02 | | PVS: But of course, although he did prefer the King's Indian and later the Grunfeld as black against 1. d4. The Ragozin Variation of the QGD was in his repertoire around 1960, although in some cases it may have transposed from a Nimzo-Indian setup. |
|
| Dec-03-02 | | drukenknight: Ragozin is where the Q gives check? is that it? And the Cambridge springs is where the B does? I forget all this. |
|
| Mar-10-03 | | JGD: of corse this variation of the QGD is still much in practise (I often use it myself). The move 8. cxd5 does not seem to be very popular nowadays due to alternatives such as Be2, Bd3, Rc1, etc. Obviously, some improvements have been made from black's perspective in this particular line. How could Spassky's play as black be improved |
|
| Mar-10-03 | | ughaibu: Someone recently posted a game of Geller's with Qb7 claiming this was the refutation of Bb5. Other than that 20....d4 looks a spiritless move to me, after that I dont see how black can get any play. |
|
| Mar-10-03 | | ughaibu: Here's the game mentioned in my previous post: Timman vs Geller, 1973 |
|
| May-29-03 | | ksadler: <Ragozin is where the Q gives check?> No...the Ragozin is 1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Nf3 Bb4 |
|
| Aug-16-03 | | Ribeiro: I read one story about this game:
When the game ended, Spassky joined the crowd in applauding Fischer. Bobby then said: "Did you see that? That was class!" I agree with Fischer, Spassky's elegance is admirable. |
|
| Aug-16-03 | | PVS: Spassky is a true sportsman as Fischer observed. As a player, his games are among my favourites; as a person he is my favourite world champion. |
