| Feb-15-02 | | knight: Bisguier's "attack" on the kingside was no match for Fischer's well coordinted onslaught on the queenside. |
 |
| Sep-03-04 | | wall: 32...Qxd4 may be wrong. Maybe best is 32...Ra2 since 33.Qxa2 loses to 33...Qh3. 39...Qxc4 loses the rook to 40.Qf8+ and 41.Qxa3. Perhaps Black can hold with 39...Qa1+ or 39...Rd3. |

 | | lostemperor: 32... Ra2 is the best try but it is not enough. The following analysis, I assume, is from Fischer: 32... Ra2
33. Bxg5 Rb2
34. Qc3 Rc2
35. Qd3 Rxc4
36. Bd8 threatening Bxc7+ and Qxh7+
And now: a)36... Rd4 b) 36... bxc5 c)36 ...Qh3 d)36 ...Nb5 e)36 ...Nd5 All is not enough as you can try. a)36...Rxd4
37. Bxc7+ Kxc7
38. Qxd4 Qxd4
39.
36 ... bxc5
37. Qxc4 Qh3
38. Qb3+ Nb5
39.
c)36 ....Qh3
37. Qxf3 bxc5
38. Qxc6 Nd5
39. Qb5
d) 36... Nb5
37. Na6+ Kb7
(...Ka8 Qxc4)
38. Qxh7+ Kxa6

 | | perfidious: The French was a strange choice by Bisguier; in all the events we played together, I never saw him answer 1.e4 with anything but ....e5, facing average player and GM alike. |
|
| Jun-03-11 | | DrMAL: 32...Qxd4 was OK as was 33...Qa1
34...Ra3 was a blunder
34...Qa2 (only move) leads to an extra pawn for white, along with bishop versus knight, but probably a draw. e.g., 35.Nd7+ Kb7 36.Qd1 Qe2 37.Qc1 Ra2 38.Nxb6 Nxb6 39.Rxb6+ Kc8 |

Of course he didn't have an engine like the rest of us. |

 | | offramp: A very good game and a good pun! Well done, Garech! <piroflip: Bobby misses the simple 26. Na4 here.

Black could have won a piece with 32...Qh3. White would have to take the f-pawn with 33. Qxf3 and then 33...bxc5. But then White plays the stultifying 34. Rb1+.

| | thegoodanarchist: And of course this game obeys my rule of thumb for the French Defense: "In the French Defense, the first player to castle will lose the game. Unless his name is Magnus Carlsen" |
|

| | offramp: Fischer says that he thought the Winawer could be beaten positionally. But he always seems to be taken off piste and the game goes into a tactical mêlée. Fortunately he was almost always too strong a player to lose a French mêlée. |

 | | kevin86: White picks up a loose rook and wins the game. |
|
| Jul-24-17 | | Strelets: <offramp> He considered the Winawer French to be fundamentally unsound because Black either trades off or loses time retreating the good dark-squared bishop (its light-squared counterpart being a well-known source of trouble for Black in the French) and concedes space on the kingside. |

| Jul-24-17 | | RandomVisitor: After 30...Ra2 white emerges from the mess a pawn up, but the game is far from over:
