  Benzol: Could be a case of too many cooks.

:)

Jan-08-14  DrAttitude: I love it! The only time in History that two American GM and US Champions are beaten in one game by an non professional chess player. I would be on a high for the rest of my life.

  fredthebear: White was at least equal until doubling his pawns with 14.bxc3?. He could have self-corrected with 16.Qb4, as the Black queen is tied to defense of the knight. After 17...Nd3, it's difficult for White to build up any steam.

20.f3 was a dud, and Black is better thereafter.

# 0-1, astounding result.

  Dionysius1: Are you reckoning that after 14. Qxc3 and the Q exchange, white's two bishops are enough compensation for an endgame where he's got a totten Qside pawn "structure"? It's not much for white after only 15 moves.

  GrahamClayton: Is this the only occasion when Fischer took part in a tandem simultaneous display?
Feb-15-22  jerseybob: This game comes from the era when New York had several little offbeat venues for playing chess, like the fleahouse, Rossolimo, Lisa Lane, etc. Not sure where this was played, or who proposed the match-up. And I'd love to see the looks that passed between the two GMs as they lost the game!
