Jun-02-05  ArturoRivera: 2.-...f5??, against Bobby? lol
Dec-06-05  Chopin: Playing f5 against Bobby fischer was suicidal. It's amusing to see the black king end up on e4.
Jun-20-08  Helios727: What happens after 12... Kxc4 ?
Jun-20-08  Elxiddicus: <Helios727> 13. Qe2+ Kb4 14. a3+ Ka5 15. Bd2+ Ka4 16. b3# OR 14. ... Ka4 15. b3+ Ka5 16. Bd2#
That's the quickest one I could find.
Jun-20-08  Helios727: What if 15... Kb6 or 16... Kb6 in either of those sidelines?

  FSR: I've never seen this game before. Fischer offered five consecutive piece sacs on moves 10-14.
Dec-01-14  TheFocus: From a simul in Houston, Texas on March 28, 1964.

Fischer scored +51=3-3.

No credit given to the heroic black king? Fearlessly, he gets to d4 on move 11!
