Oct-16-12 Fischer vs Spassky, 1972 
| |
| AnalyzeThis: <OhioChessFan: c3 supports a subsequent b4, so I think the immediate Rh8 is best. 30 plies on Rybka might prove me wrong. > b4 isn't particularly relevant when your king is getting overrun. Fischer saved himself because he could play Qc3 and get the queens off. With the ... |

| AnalyzeThis: Interesting comment. Wonder what it means. Is he saying he's more like Alekhine? |
