| Dec-16-04 | | kostich in time: Very sharp defensive/counter attacking game by Fischer. There are plenty of examples of Rc3! STARTING a counterattack in the Sicilian..here is an example of one CULMINATING it. |
|

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Tal supposedly said that in the Najdorf, if the position was equal, then Black was better! This game is a good example. |
|
| Feb-17-05 | | CHEG: Amazing how well black's plan flows. I wish I could do that. One day....;-) |
|
| Feb-17-05 | | JohnTal: In "My 60 Memorable Games", Evans writes that "Seldom is a chess master so drastically punished, as is Unzicker here, for failing to do his homework." Bobby was always lightning quick to jump on your weaknesses. Auf Wiedersehen |
|
| Feb-17-05 | | BlazingArrow56: A very easy puzzle for anyone who has followed Fischer's career. Rxc3! is a helpful tactic to remember. Deflect the pawn and mate with the queen, why does it look so easy when he does it? |
|
| Feb-17-05 | | Shams: a great game by Bobby.
for a more amusing unzicker-fischer game, check out this:
Unzicker vs Fischer, 1960 if nothing else it`s probably the only page on this site where Fischer is described as "a gentleman at the chess board". |
|
| Feb-17-05 | | your brilliance: I solved it, i.e., I saw the line in Fischer's notes. But, doesn't 27 ...Nd2 hold? If 28 Bxd2, Qxd2. Now if (a) 29. Rxa1, b2xR, while if (b) 29. Rf3+, Kg2 maintains the threat of capturing the rook (on g3)while keeping e1 protected, if black captures on a1. What am I missing? |
|
| Feb-17-05 | | Shams: <your brilliance> you switched black and white moves in your numbering. anyway, probably fischer had something prettier but after: 27.Nd2 Rxa1
28.bxc3 Rxe1+
29.Kxe1 Qe3+
30.Kd1 Qxc3
black queens the b-pawn. |
|
| Feb-17-05 | | your brilliance: Thanks <shams>. Yes, black still wins, but there is some fight. I would have played on, tho' not against Fischer, perhaps! |
|
| Feb-17-05 | | Infohunter: <Shams> That was what I came up with as well. Like you, I wonder if Fischer had something prettier, but for the life of me I don't see what it could be. <your brilliance> you were correct (at least in my judgment) to propose 27 Nb2 as an alternative to Fischer's final notes. The only thing that kept it from holding was the fact that the exchange on d2 that you posited need not take place. |
|
| Feb-17-05 | | DWINS: <your brillinace>, <Shams>, and <Infohunter> After 27.Nd2 Black forces checkmate beginning with 27...Rxg3 |
|
Feb-17-05
 | | cu8sfan: Are these notes from M60MG? I wish I had found the solution to this one... |
|
| Feb-17-05 | | Shams: <DWINS> well ok, I feel dumb. this is black`s best line then? 27.Nd2 Rxg3
28.Rxa2 (Qxa2 is even worse) Qg1+
29.Ke2 Re3+
30.Kd1 Qxe1+
31.Kc2 Rd2
winning in a few moves? |
|
| Feb-17-05 | | Infohunter: <DWINS> Oops. Sort of figures, though, that there must have been something more immediately decisive than the endgame <Shams> and I saw, else why would Unzicker resign right then? Kudos. <cu8sfan> The notes are indeed from <My 60 Memorable Games>--I just now looked it up in my own copy. |
|
| Feb-17-05 | | Shams: <Infohunter> I think white can safely resign in our line, too. :) I`m very jealous you have a copy of that book. someday I`m going to throw down a couple hundred bucks for it...someday when I`m loaded. |
|
Feb-17-05
| | cu8sfan: <Shams> Just check out E-Bay often. I got my copy for 40 bucks. And I was the only one bidding for it! |
|
| Feb-17-05 | | 2ndNature: I've found 27... Rxc3 and then was thinking:
27. Rxa2 Rf3+
28. Ke2 Qf2+
29. Kd1 Rxb2
where Black threatens ...Qd2# or ...Bb4, ...Rd4 with capture of the Queen. Black still should win but not as quickly as in Fischer's variation.I did see 28... Rf2+ but somehow dismissed the idea of 29... Qxa2, why??? 2ndNature |
|
| Feb-17-05 | | Zaius: Woohoo I got it right!
I am proud of myself. I told myself: Where would I want my queen right about now? The answer was on f2, so I went about trying to find a way to make it happen. Then I found that Rxc3 could clear that pawn, and if not taken could do more damage anyways. |
|
| Feb-17-05 | | Infohunter: <Shams>, <cu8sfan> I guess my age is showing. My copy is a trade paperback which I bought brand new for $2.95 + tax. I suppose a bit of water has gone over the dam since then. |
|
Feb-17-05
| | cu8sfan: <infohunter> My copy cost about $5 originally. But the book is out of print and still considered one of the best game collections ever. Add to it the myth of Bobby Fischer and you won't get a copy for $2.95 anywhere. |
|
| Feb-17-05 | | AdrianP: Isn't there some copyright issue with reproducing the entirety of Fischer's notes to a game from OMSMG here...? The book's still in copyright, and Fischer's pretty precious about these things - that's why there hasn't been a reprint as I understand things. Still I suppose Bobby's lawyers are up to their eyeballs on other matters at the moment...! |
|
| Feb-17-05 | | cheski: I like F's description of his move 22...h6!.
He calls it 'a handy "Luft", as becomes apparent later'.
I presume he meant a bit of a bolthole for his King, although I could not see where it actually did become apparent in the remaining sequence. |
|
| Feb-17-05 | | Shams: <cheski> check the note to black`s last move. |
|
| Feb-17-05 | | cheski: <shams> Thanks. I hadn't noticed the comments. Great fun. Thanks CG.
Only 59 games to go :-) |
|
| Feb-17-05 | | SouCapi: 26...♖xc3 most of us can find. The key-move 22...h6 none of us... |
