| Oct-18-10 | | redorc19: I like fischer's annotations. He talks about strategy and pawn structure a lot like Philidor but includes relative tactics. |

|
| Mar-06-12 | | screwdriver: Great game by Fischer once again. |
|
| Aug-29-12 | | TheFocus: This is game 42 in Fischer's <My 60 Memorable Games>. |
|
| Sep-03-12 | | Luigi Bros: Horripilant final moves for white. In another secuence, against a better force white, maybe black: 25. RxRa1 26. Re1xRa1 27. Qe3. Later any variation have a good position. |

 | | Joshka: <kingscrusher> In notes from 2007 Bobby writes 24. g3? "Creating more kingside weaknesses. Better is 24. Qd3". (Rather than 24. Rad1 from MSMG. Then after, 26. Kf1 He writes in MSMG " What else? On 26. Rxa2 Qxa2 27. Re2? Rxc3! and in his 2007 notes he interposes, so White needs 27. Qxb5 and now 27...Qxb2+ 28. Re2 is holding for the moment. But Black has 28...Qxc3 which picks up a pawn, and soon a second one after 29. Ra2 Qe3 30. Re2 Rc2! 31. Rxc2 Qxe4+ 32. Kf1 Qxc2. |

| Jan-12-13 | | RandomVisitor: As RookFile, Kasparov and Huebner note, 21.g3 had good prospects to equalize for white:

| Jul-22-13 | | singingdetective: The producers of Midsomer Murders in an episode entitled The Sicilian Defence, used this rather impressive chess game, to illustrate a sub-plot. I invested considerable time in determining who the original players were, as I had a hunch that the game was not dreamt up especially for the program. And it transpired that the protagonists were Unzicker and Fischer, at the Varna Olympiad of 1962. In the Midsomer fiction, the game is attributed to a Russian ex-World Champion (white) and a brilliant computer programmer called Jason Winters (black), but don't Unzicker and Fischer (or their estates) own the intellectual rights to it? Is there a breach of copyright here? Opinions anyone? I have no axe to grind; I'm merely curious. There's a cute continuity mistake too. The actor who records the moves with a marker pen on the glass board in the detectives" office writes Kg2 as white's penultimate move, but in the next camera shot we see it as Kg3. He then writes Kf1 as the final move. When we see the moves from the correct side of the glass, the Kg3 mistake has been corrected. The conclusion is that the actor initially made a mistake, which someone noticed - well done that person! They got him to rewrite it but forgot to edit out the second incorrect camera shot! |

<"How exactly was 22..h6 "handy"?> Bobby explains the need for the 'handy' luft in the last line of analysis. He gets to here. (White to play)
click for larger viewPointing out that 30.Ra1 does not work. Black can play 30...Qxb2 because the back rank is no longer weak. *** |

| Apr-06-20 | | SChesshevsky: < CaliWest: How exactly was 22..h6 "handy"? > King safety is usually always on mind. This game by eliminating any back rank problems before undertaking anything that could open up the position. Fischer also notes this kind of thinking in other games in his "My Sixty.." book. In Fischer vs Gligoric, 1959 he mentiones for 21. Kb1, "An important preparatory move." Due to some possible tricks that could expose his king with ...Qxa2 if the defending N departs. And spells it out clearer in his game with Bolbochan 1962 that is linked above. Where he writes for 15. Kb1, "Amateurs are often puzzled by the apparent loss of time. Actually it is a handy defensive move, getting out of the pin on the c-file which could become annoying after ...b5-b4. One never knows when lightning will strike!" |

| Apr-06-20 | | Petrosianic: <SChesshevsky>: <King safety is usually always on mind. This game by eliminating any back rank problems before undertaking anything that could open up the position. Yes, but the term "handy luft" is a bit redundant. We know what luft is and why it's useful. Adding "handy" doesn't tell us any more. |

| Apr-06-20 | | SChesshevsky: <...Yes, but the term "handy luft" is a bit redundant. We know what luft is and why it's useful. Adding "handy" doesn't tell us any more.> Yeah, probably don't need it. Likely more a bit of writers license to add some flavor to typically dry and dull chess analysis. Though the addition of "handy" does hint a bit of emphasis that it's not a forced move. Something that's useful and doesn't really cost anything. Maybe similar to how "handy" was used in the Bolbochan game. |

| Apr-07-20 | | CaliWest: thanks sally. In short, to make Ra1 impotent. Now I see its handiness. |
|
| Apr-26-20 | | zenwabi: This game is discussed in detail by GM Michael Stean, in his fine book on strategy: SIMPLE CHESS. His theme for this game: playing against an outpost. Fischer never gave Unzicker a chance to plop his knight on d5. |

| Dec-21-24 | | ColdSong: A classic.When one has to play it with black against Geller,it can be easier somewhat against Unzicker. |

|
| Jul-20-25 | | FM David H. Levin: <<joeld>: How could this game never have been Game of the Day?> I guess that either a title for it has yet to be submitted, or the submitted title(s) didn't pass muster among the CG community. Can you think of a good one? |
|
| Jul-24-25 | | FM David H. Levin: I've just nominated this game for Game of the Day, under the pun "Rook Zinger Too Slick fer Unzicker". |
