| drunknight II: look at the position after blacks 37th? Has he lost the game right here? Make no mistake, Fischer outplayed Sam in the middle game and the last few moves before the time control were played undertime pressure. Sam's exchange sacrifice an interesting attempt to confuse bobby right before time control. |

| Swindler: This game gets good analysis by Dvoretsky at www.chesscafe.com this month. They missed a nice mate by 49....  e4 50.b8=  a2+ 51. e1 f1=(or )#, but White didn't have a perpetual check so it'a a win for Black. |

| drukenknight: Swindler: This game continus to raise difficult questions. I looked Dvo's analysis, but he treats the game as done after move 40 (I think) and has nothing to comment on the endgame. I dont claim to be a strong player, but if Fischer missed mate in 4 on move 49, then shouldnt one look to see if a draw was possible? I mean, to me that is very basic, when someone misses a win, usually very strange things follow. WHy does Dvo. not even attempt this? He makes no comment on blacks ability to prolong the game. Can black simply keep checking? That is my issue today. Look at: 54. Qc8+ Kb5
55. Qd7+ Kxa6
56. Qxe6+ Ka5
57. Qf5+ Ka4
58. Qd7+ Ka3
59. Qe7+ Ka2
60. Qf7+ Kb2
61. Qb7+ Kc1
62. Qc8+ Kb1
63. Qf5+ Ka2
64. Qc2+ Ka3
65. Qd3+ Kb2
66. Qb5+ Ka3
67. Qa6+ Kb3
Admittedly this is from the crappy chesslab computer, but instincts tell me this sort of plan has to be taken very seriously in light of Fischer's error on move 49. |

| acirce: <drukenknight> The checks will end pretty quickly. After 54. Qc8+ I prefer to interfere with my lady: 54...Qc5. Then 55. Qxe6+ Qd5 and now either a) 56. Qg4+ Kb5 with no more checks, or b) 56. Qc8+ Kd4 whereafter I counter-check with Qe4 or Qe5 depending on where you check in next move, thereby forcing queen exchange and easy win. |

| jrsoohoo: Fischer caught 50. ... K-K5! ... 58. Q-N5+, K-B3 59. Q-N2+ P-K4 runs of of checks |

| RookFile: Kasparov's book on Fischer
(My Great Predecessors) has some
great analysis on this game, which
will clear up any questions. Awful
lot of deep stuff going on. |

| RookFile: I'll have to check out your analysis,
you always seem to have interesting insights. |

| joelsontang: instead of 42. Rc8, could Rc2 have at least have given white a draw? if not a win? the plan to bolster the pawns from behind, and to shield the king from check. |

| babakova: This game is incredibly difficult..I have encountered it before but today I decided to look more deeply into it , first guessing each move, then analyzing my guesses and possible improvements and the actual text moves. Then I compared my analysis to Kasparovs in OMGP IV to see where I went wrong...All in all many twists and turns with many hidden resources that remain unplayed (as with all chessgames that is)... good game. |

| RookFile: <Joelsontang> Kasparov does analyze 42. Rc2 in OMGP 4. |

| ismet: I think Reshevsky's blunder game one too. I like child Reshevsky more. if you look at his eyes in child time you can see shinning eyes but here especially against Fischer I see nothing. I am looking position move 29 We think Black must be resign. But what Reshevsky did, he follows b6 pawn with Rock like beginning player. Reshevsky had given this game to Fischer. |

| RookFile: Well, you've got to give Reshevsky this. His best years were behind him, but the old warrior showed up and played hard in 1961, and fought Bobby Fischer to 5.5 - 5.5 in 11 games, and was even declared the match winner by forfeit. The more you think about it, the more of an impressive result on Reshevsky's part this was. |

| Eyal: Kasparov in OMGP 4 mainly quotes from Dvoretsky's analysis (http://www.chesscafe.com/text/dvore...). Dvoretsky reveals some serious flaws in Fischer's notes from MSMG, mainly with regard to his apparent conviction that Black has enough counterplay to hold the draw after the loss of the exchange. Here are two important points where Fischer misses best play by White: After 32...Rd8
click for larger viewHere Fischer claims that Reshevsky's 33.Rc2 was the only way to preserve winning chances, giving the line 33.Rxb6 Rd2+ 34.Kg1 g5 35.Rcc6 gxh4 36.Rxe6+ Kg5 37.Rg6+ Kh5 38.Rxh6+(??) Kg4 "and Black has enough play on the K-side to hold the draw". But White is under no obligation to help Black by grabbing another pawn with Rxh6+; with the black king cut off from the g-file, 38.b4 or 38.a5 instead should win. After 35...f4:
click for larger viewHere Fischer claims that Reshevsky should have settled for the draw with 36.a6 f3+ 37.Kf1 Rd3 38.Ke1 Re3+ 39.Kf1 Rd3 etc. He misses the excellent resource <36.Rb4!!>, with which White targets the black knight, preparing to exchange it at the right moment for his rook. Dvoretsky's main line goes 36...f3+ 37.Kf1 Kf5 (37...f2 38.Rxf2+ Nxf2 39.Kxf2 is also hopeless for Black) 38.a6 Rd3 39.Rc1 Rd2 40.Rxe4(!) Kxe4 41.a7 Rd8 42.b4 Ra8 43.Rc7! (on 43.Ra1?, Black's king gets to the queenside) 43...Rd8 44.b5 and White wins. |
