 | | patzer2: Fischer makes a small error with 34...Nd7? (he should have played 34...h4 =) and is immediately punished with a winning passed pawn combination after 35. Bxd7! and the decisive follow-up moves 37. g6! and 38. Rxh5!  . |

| | patzer2: Notice how neatly 55. Kb8 closes the mating web on Black's King. White's threat is 56. Qd6+! Rb6 57. Qd2+ 58. Rb4 Qxb4#, for which Black has no satisfactory reply. For example 55...Kb6 is met with 56. Qd6#, and 55...b6 56. Qb7# meets the same fate. |

| Apr-20-07 | | Richerby: Not trying to side with the Fischer fan-boys but he was only fifteen or sixteen when he lost this game... |

| Apr-20-07 | | dehanne: <Not trying to side with the Fischer fan-boys but he was only fifteen or sixteen when he lost this game...>So? Fischer was 13 when he played "the game of the century". Does that mean Byrne let the brat win? |
|
| May-15-07 | | Richerby: No, it just means that younger players often lack the consistency of their more mature counterparts. |

Rb4 Qxb4#, for which Black has no satisfactory reply.> You are right, but I think it's even more beautiful that 55.Kb8 places Black in zugzwang. If 55...Kb6 56.Qd6#. If R moves on the 4th row, then 56.Qxb7#. If 55...Rb6 56.Qc4+ and next move is mate. And if the b pawn moves then 56. Qa8#. Go Sanguinetti, he was a true talent... like other strong Argentine GMs who didn't get to play much in the international arena because of distance and cost. |

After <38.Kg5 Ke7 <..Rg8 39.Kh6> 39.g7 Rg8 40.Kg6> and the white king decisively penetrates. |

| Oct-18-11 | | sebagud742001: richerby: in 1959 Fischer was a GM, Sanguineti was not a GM, but with the power of one of them. |
|
| Apr-14-12 | | Zugzwangovich: According to Mednis in "How to Beat Bobby Fischer", RJF loses because he plays the automatic recapture 35...Kd7 instead of interpolating 35...de+. |
|
| Sep-17-12 | | vinidivici: fisher should resign when Sanguin queened. |
|
| Sep-17-12 | | Petrosianic: Emily Post doesn't have absolutely clear rules about when to resign. In general, it's bad manners to play on in a dead lost position. But a lot of it depends on how fast the game is moving. You wouldn't keep your opponent at the board another 2 hours in that position, but if the last dozen or so moves were blitzed out, or if White was in major time pressure, there's no real harm. There are a couple of chances for White to go wrong if he's careless (48. Qxd5+ Rc5). If the time control was 40/2, then White was probably in no time pressure, but when to resign is a very personal thing. And sometimes whether or not a game has officially "ended" can influence how other games proceed. I doubt Sanguinetti minded sitting in front of a winning position against Fischer for a few minutes longer. |

| Jan-30-20 | | ManuMona: Everett: you are right in the evaluation of one of the drawing moves, 34...h4.But 34...Nd7 was not "a small error" it was a losing blunder. Zugzwangovich: Mednis was absolutely wrong, because after the losing blunder 34...Nd7 Fischer was completely nlost no matter what. It may be, just a guess, that Fischer somehow understimate his opponent, who was a very strong player indeed. |
