Mar-09-21 Fischer vs Spassky, 1972    Peter Nemenyi: The Soviets published plenty of propaganda and slander about Bobby, but I don’t see how this quote falls into that category. It’s an uncontroversial description of his mature style. Fischer liked clear-cut technical wins, sometimes choosing them over quicker tactical ...      Nov-23-17 R Nicevski vs Fischer, 1967    Peter Nemenyi: I'd just say that Fischer took liberties against a vastly inferior player that he wouldn't have taken against a Soviet grandmaster, and got away with it. That isn't luck, just accurate assessment of the opponent.      May-11-17 D Howell vs R Jumabayev, 2016    Peter Nemenyi: In the final position, if Black plays the relatively better 27...f5 rather than making luft for his king, the mate is 28. Bd5+ Rf7 29. Qg6+ Kh1 30. Bxf7 Bd3 31. Qh6+ Bh7 32. Bg6 Kg8 33. Qxh7+ Kf8 34. Qxf7#.      Apr-09-17 Bobby Fischer    Peter Nemenyi: <Joshka: One of them was this cable installation story. Rene claimed it was all bogus/made up.> Yes, that story is utterly implausible. On grounds of personality, it's unimaginable that Bobby would have done manual labour involving contact with the general public. And on      Apr-09-17 T Abrahamyan vs N Paikidze, 2017    Peter Nemenyi: White presumably resigned because her choices are 38. Kh1 Rxe1+ 39. Bxe1 Ra1 forcing mate, since White can neither move the pinned bishop nor defend it, or 38. Kf1 Rf2+ 39. Kg1 Rb2+!, winning the bishop and then the dangerous b-pawn. If Nazi wins the tournament because of this      Jul-11-16 Fischer vs I Aloni, 1962    Peter Nemenyi: Yes, "Black overstepped the time limit in a worse, but not completely hopeless endgame" (quoted from Karsten Müller's book of Fischer's games).      Apr-26-16 I Krush vs N Paikidze, 2016    Peter Nemenyi: This game doesn't seem to have attracted much attention. But the versatility with which Black's queen and rook torment the White king in the presence of three White pieces, from the knight sac on move 36 to the finale on move 64, is delightful. One feels for White, who had to ...      Oct-06-15 R Hardarson vs S Briem, 1982    Peter Nemenyi: <stacase: I mean really, was there any other move to consider?> Well, this is one of those paradoxical cases in which knowing that one's doing a Chessgames puzzle makes it harder. A check obvious to any patzer, which isn't a sacrifice, is rarely the right key move on ...      Aug-16-15 Bobby Fischer    Peter Nemenyi: Thanks for your comments. It's also worth noting that Fischer would hardly have cared about the verbal assessments in foreign chess publications, because his own assessments would have been better anyway. In that distant pre-computer world, all he needed were the game scores ...      Nov-07-14 I Bilek vs Fischer, 1962    Peter Nemenyi: <HeMateMe: He ducked Spassky for years until entering the '70 world championship cycle.> What basis do you have for this claim? Given how international tournaments and the Soviet chess system worked during Fischer's career, he could only have faced Spassky regularly ...      Jul-21-14 J Banas vs A Ornstein, 1974     May-27-14 A Zinkl vs R Huber, 1897     May-24-14 Yuri Balashov     May-20-14 D van Foreest vs C Messemaker, 1884     May-09-14 S Jensen vs F Urkedal, 2013     May-08-14 Fischer vs D Byrne, 1963     May-03-14 Moscow (1967)     Nov-18-13 Anand -
