| Feb-09-20 | | asiduodiego: I think the most impressive thing about this game is the fact that Bobby won it with such mastery being just 13 years old. It's a great game, but I think also we need to address the fact that Byrne played the opening in a very sloppy way. 11. Bg5? it's such an ugly move. It violates two principles. First, you should try not to move the same piece twice in the opening. Second, it neglects king safety, given that the pin in f3 is troublesome for such purposes. This is not at all in detriment of Bobby's brilliance in this game. I think 11 ... Na4!! is one of the best and more beautiful punishments for lack of good development in chess history, and it's a monument to the brilliance of Bobby Fischer. In my opinion, the real "Game of the Century" for Bobby Fischer at least, is the famous game with the other Byrne. In that game, Bobby came out with an attack which actually seemed from thin air, in a somewhat symmetrical position, and in the end, he won in a position in which two masters in other room commenting the game thought he was losing. Brilliant stuff. |

| Feb-29-20 | | MordimerChess: Thank you all for comments, nice lecture. I would also leave some contribution to this beautiful game and I leave my analysis:
https://youtu.be/iXXrnCAON-8
At the end I mention about famous interview, where responding to an interviewer's question about how he was able to bring off such a brilliant win, Fischer said: "I just made the moves I thought were best. I was just lucky." Actually it's possible that he said the truth about it. Keep in mind that he was not so lucky in 4 other games in this tournament, which he lost. So his chess abilities were unstable and unpredictable and that's normal in this age. If you check the games of young Magnus Carlsen or Alireza Firouzja, there are a lot of incredible games but also some miserable ones among them. Just two cents. |

| Dec-14-21 | | toodles: <Dionysius1>, I couldn't agree more about 11...♘a4. Everyone talks about the queen sac, but this is the move that boggles my mind. After 12. ♘xa4 ♘xe4, it seems like there are SO many safe places for white to put his queen and be up material. Calculating each of these lines deep enough to know that 11...♘a4 is not only the best move but the only winning move is incomprehensible to me. I am also very curious to know if this move had been known beforehand. |

 | | Korora: Hans Kmoch described Fischer in this game as sitting "like a little Buddha, showing his moves with the calm regularity of an automaton." That sounds to me like a chess player in the Zone. |
|
| Aug-12-23 | | Saul Goodman: Many people see this game as a series of brilliant moves by one of the greatest players of all time. What many people don’t get about this game is that, at the time of this game, Bobby Fischer was basically a beginner in international chess. Before this tournament, Fischer had never played a Grandmaster in a real game. He was a 13 year old kid, growing up far away from the epicenter of the world chess scene, with modest coaching available to him. There were no computers, and finding out about the latest games and theory was an arduous task, even for the game’s elite. In this environment, Fischer walked into a game against one of the top 100 players in the world (per chess metrics), a guy who had defeated Yury Averbakh in a match. And Fischer uncorked Na4!!, Nxe4!, Nxc3!, and Be6!!. People like to argue that Fischer’s epic games against Robert Byrne, Spassky (1972) and Spassky (1992) were greater achievements, and maybe they were. But for a kid basically off the street to play a game like this is pretty much unprecedented in the history of chess. |

 | | Knightf7mate: I’ve made side-by-side move by move comparisons of the two games discussed above. The similarities are at most remote. There is a “windmill” attack in Fischer’s game, there is no such attack in Russner v. Walckner other. Several comments above seem to imply that Fischer learned about a windmill attack from the earlier game. I greatly doubt that. I think Fischer discovered it on his own, possibly from his own creative study prior to his game with D Byrne or perhaps for the first time over the board. If you are interested, here is a link that discusses different types of windmill attacks and provides a few games I didn’t know about. The bishop-rook windmill seems easier to build. I think you must give full credit to young Fischer for discovering the attack with bishop and knight on his own. https://chess.stackexchange.com/que... |

click for larger viewIn this position Byrne played Bg5?!
This is the move that completely changed the course of the game, and many analysts wondered how Byrne did that, it's strange because Byrne had a lot of experience in chess.
He probably got overconfident with Fischer and started playing aggressively instead of cautiously.
(And if anyone is wondering what the correct sequence was: Be2 developing his bishop followed by castling was better) |
|
| Sep-05-24 | | Petrosianic: Yes, probably overconfidence. Fischer only won two games in the tournament, after all. Carlsen has similarly said that sometimes you can't play the best lines and still hope to get an advantage. You might compare it to this game. Bisguier plays a weak line, knowing it's weak, but hoping to get an unbalanced position that would take Zuckerman out of his book. It didn't work, it's a risky strategy. B Zuckerman vs A Bisguier, 1969 |
|
| Sep-05-24 | | DaniZiX: Interesting... Bisguier played bad anyways, but its true, u cant risk it like that. By the way, that game its amazing, i never heard about that game |
|
| Sep-13-24 | | Chessinfinite: < Kudos to Donald Byrne for not resigning.> Indeed. I was thinking what Byrne must he have felt after ...Be6!!, not sure if he saw it all. Seeing a 13 yr old play like this, and deciding to go ahead with the complications , despite feeling the shock of it all, he did his part by playing till the end. |
