Sep-08-05 | | RookFile: What a sweet game. Even sweeter when you realize this was a blitz game.
Then when you realize that Taimanov
tried a very similar plan against Fischer, you see that white had ideas. |

May-06-06 | | tonsillolith: Wow. Fischer never even developed two of his pieces! It goes to show the great difference in the quality of pieces. |

Fischer never even developed two of his pieces!> Well, actually, the Black c8-bishop takes part in the final mating combination from its home square(!) so I am not really sure that you can say that Fischer never developed it. Is the Black c8-bishop on a clear, open diagonal? Yes. Well, then, that is all bishops really need to take part in a game, i.e. to be developed, since they are long-range pieces. White resigns because of 31 ♔h1x♕h2 ♖g3-h3#, the Black h3-rook being supported on the h3-square by the Black c8-bishop which is still(!) on its home square.  click for larger view |

 | | keypusher: Why didn't Black play 22....Bxc3? I guess he didn't like 23.Qxc3 Qxe2 24.Qg3+ Qg4 25.Qxc7? Or I am missing something much stronger? |

Dec-22-11 | | michael104: What happens on 22. . .Bxc3 23.Bh5? Is White okay then? |

 | | Penguincw: Fischer doesn't need some of his queenside pieces in this game. |

 | | perfidious: <Ke2: I imagine the score is incorrect. He would never allow a transposition to a Modern.> In serious games, I agree; but his blitz games were often another matter. From the man who expressed contempt for 1.d4 as an opening move, I give you Fischer vs Hort, 1970. |

Mar-09-18 | | Albanius: I actually watched this game at the Manhattan Chess Club. Bobby was playing at the table closest to the spectators area. Fischer came in on a streak of consecutive wins, including his
6-0 Challengers matches against Taimanov and Petrosian, and also the last round game from the Interzonal.
The winning streak ended when Fischer hung a rook in a winning R+P ending and up on the clock against Walter Shipman, but he did salvage a draw. This game shows how B can play in the mainline classical KID if W plays exf5 instead of the usual strategy of proceeding on the Q-side, allowing B to advance on the K-side with ..f4, ..g5 ^..g4. After 30 Qxe4, the more pedestrian
30 ... Rxg1+
31 Kxg1 [] Qxh2+
32 Kf1 Bh3+
33 Ke1 Bg3# also mates. |

 | | HeMateMe: black wins without ever moving his queenside B or R. I'd like to be able to do that... |

Thanks@ |
