 | | Eyal: <In the 21st game, Fischer - after some short period of relative creative failure - again disclosed an original idea of a deep thinker. By his magic wand he transformed the Sicilian Defence into an endgame of the Scotch Opening! [Compare the position after 15...gxf6 with the one after 14...gxf6 in D Smerdon vs J Werle, 2007 ] Spassky could not believe his eyes when he realized what trap he had fallen into, applying an opening he never intended, even in a dream. He could not hide the disgust on his face because of the drawish position he could not avoid any more. He tried a sacrifice of the exchange, but he had to fight for a draw then. It would not have been that tragic for him, perhaps, if he had not committed suicide in the 30th move, allowing his opponent to make a passed pawn, which was to decide the game.> (Gligoric)Btw, this was the only time Fischer employed in a serious game 2...e6 and the Paulsen variation of the Sicilian (Repertoire Explorer: Robert James Fischer (black)). |

Am I missing something? 42... Rxa4 43. bxa4 and white wins easily. |

| Nov-10-08 | | gambitfan: <SufferingBruin: Am I missing something? 42... Rxa4 43. bxa4 and white wins easily.> Sorry ! I still have difficulties with the diagram upside down ! I am used to having the winning side down...
But FEN notation system does not allow for this !

| Nov-10-08 | | gambitfan: Let's see what happens after 41 d7...
41 d7  g4...
nothing can prevent the push of  h5
As long as white remains on the second rank, white f2 is pinned and cannot check the black with f3+ If white moves he must remain in touch with f2
42 g1 h4 43 g2 h3+ 44 g1  a1+ 45 h2 f1 0-1 |

 | | Marmot PFL: <: why did Spassky resign ?> Even with a draw Fischer would only need one more draw to win the match, so maybe Spassky just wanted it to end. That was one of the reasons Fischer wanted future matches where only wins counted. |
|
| Nov-10-08 | | AnalyzeThis: Spassky resigned because Fischer was going to win the game, the traps notwithstanding. |

| Nov-27-08 | | elAurens: If you are interested, you can see how much time they took for their moves at http://www.crackteam.org/2008/11/02... |

| Oct-22-09 | | KraziPawn: elAurens, way cool info. Pardon my slang. |

 | | thegoodanarchist: <Calli: "The only 'official' American champion" William Steinitz became an American citizen in 1888.> I am not sure why that isn't 'official'. |
|
Mar-28-10
 | | Calli: Yes, Steinitz was an American champion. Even legally changed his name to William. I was quoting <Riverbeast> from Jan-18-08 who claimed Fischer was the only American WC. |

OK, I got in the conversation in the middle! I see now. |
|
| Aug-17-10 | | Lokaz: 20. Rxd5 Bxh2 21. Kxh2 Rxd5 was a beautiful move by Fischer. It wins a rook, and exposes the king. I could see that Fischer was determined to not weaken his castle position, because he took the bishop with the queen instead of the pawn after 14. Bxf6 QxF6. |
|
| Aug-22-10 | | champsylove: Forgive my chess ignorance, but is this not a Kan set up? |
|
| Nov-05-10 | | prithviraj: well sure black wins... 41...Re2 42 Be6 Kg4...from move 43 of white, black will be at advantage |
|
| Jan-22-11 | | Paraconti: 32...h6!
White can't move!! |

 | | mccarthpm: it is intersting that the fischer wins were 5/7 with black-astouding really |
|

 | | keypusher: <mccarthpm: it is intersting that the fischer wins were 5/7 with black-astouding really> 4/7. he won games 6, 8, and 10 with White. 3, 5, 13, 21 with black. |
|
| Feb-27-12 | | screwdriver: I'd like to see this game played further. The idea for white is to play b4 when he gets a chance, then a5, and sort of march his connected past pawns down the board. If I had this position as white, no way would I be resigning. Where is the fight in Spasky? |
|
| Feb-28-12 | | diceman: <screwdriver:

<Where is the fight in Spasky?> Fischer beat it out of him. |

 | | kingscrusher: Am I correct in thinking the Opening classification for this game should be Sicilian Taimanov - not Sicilian Kan?! It started off as a Sicilian Paulsen (Kan) but once black plays 5...Nc6 it transposes into the Sicilian Taimanov doesn't it ?! See Wiki here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sicili... |
|
| Apr-23-12 | | King Death: <kingscrusher> It is a Taimanov. |

|
| Apr-23-12 | | RookFile: Fischer won this game, but the position after 27.... Ra2 is drawable for white. Part of me wishes that the game had ended in a draw, the previous play was very interesting. |
|
| Sep-01-12 | | Rocambole: Hace hoy 40 años Spassky abandonó esta partida que había quedado suspendida, coronándose así Fischer Campeón Mundial. Cada vez que la analizo me sigue admirando la fuerza interna de la posición de las negras en la apertura. |
