| Nov-11-15 | | Albion 1959: Fischer's first competitive game for twenty years. This is probably one of his best ever games ! Imagine if had not played another game and all we had was this one. He could have gone back into anonymity leaving the chess world and saying "look I am still the best and as good as I ever was and I could beat Karpov and Kasparov !" |

 | | HeMateMe: not a pun, but nice, creative thinking. I definitely like it. |
|
| Sep-01-16 | | Howard: Tomorrow, on Sept 2, 1992, Fischer finally pushed his first pawn in 20 years in a serious game ! |
|
| Sep-01-16 | | Howard: Nothing got captured for over the first 25 moves ?! Never knew that ! |

 | | diceman: <Riverbeast: Raymond Keene's notes to this game in the match book said that none of the GMs analyzing in the pressroom saw 40. Nh4. "(They were) unanimously analyzing 40. Qd4+ Ke6, which leads nowhere in particular."> <mburch1974: Nh4!! What???!! Incredible!!> If you include game 3 of the 72 match.
A N on h4/h5 was a "theme" vs. Spassky. |

| Nov-21-16 | | Sally Simpson: Hi Diceman,
"If you include game 3 of the 72 match. A N on h4/h5 was a 'theme' vs. Spassky." You may have discovered something there. Fischer's Black Knights going to h5. Game 5, also a Fischer win, featured a Knight on h5.

click for larger viewSpassky vs Fischer, 1972 This was obviously a Fischer ploy he had been working on. 'Knights on h5 and the game comes alive.'
as opposed to:
"Knights on a5 and your game takes a dive."
Pre '72 when playing the mirror move Na5 produced two losses. 
click for larger viewSpassky vs Fischer, 1966 and from the above diagram add the moves h3 and b6. 
click for larger viewSpassky vs Fischer, 1970 Great News! The secret of chess is out. Na5 is bad - Nh5 is good. I'm now off to play Nf6-Nh5 the very first chance I get. It's a pity my pet defence is The Alekhine.

 | | ajk68: Having run the analysis with the Chessgames' Stockfish engine, it appears this game is littered with mistakes (not that I understand them). |

| May-16-19 | | N.O.F. NAJDORF: A similar concentration of White's heavy artillery on the a-file (QR file)
occurred in this game 63 years before:
Capablanca vs K Treybal, 1929 |

| Mar-05-20 | | N.O.F. NAJDORF: What's wrong with 48 ... Qd1 ? |

<What's wrong with 48 ... Qd1 ?>
I agree that looks better than the move in the game, but after 48...Qd1 49. Nd4 White's a pawn up and Black's position is full of weak points, so it still looks pretty hopeless. |
|
| May-22-20 | | Big Pawn: < ZonszeinP: 8-c3! Fischer was never "afraid" of the Marshall> Fischer was the kind of player who would grab a pawn and hold it, like Steinitz. |

 | | harrylime: Fischer played on empty squares ... Like Mozart This game in context is pretty cool. No professional chess games since 1972 .... |

| | Alex Schindler: for all the conversation about Fischer's 40 Nh4!?, I cant for the life of me see why it's better than Qd4+, the move everyone expected, if Spassky finds Nf8 in response to the former. Are we so sure that was even a good move without the benefit of hindsight? I just checked and stockfish doesn't seem to think so. |
|
| Oct-29-21 | | RookFile: Stockfish 14+ NNUE lists 40. Nh4 as the best move at a depth of 22/22 and a minute or so of thought. |

| Jan-15-22 | | Justin796: No players saw 40. Nh4 but Stockfish does lol. If you go back and analyze Fischers games the guy is deadly accurate. And no, I do not care if Capablanca was more accurate. |

 | | PawnSac: < Howard: Nothing got captured for over the first 25 moves ?! > The first capture of the game is 29. ..Nxe4 .
Fischer's first capture is 30.Bxe4
Is this a personal record? I wonder how many, if any, other games went past move 30 with no captures. |
