Kibitzer's Corner
Sep-24-04  Marco65: Great historical game. I think that's why nobody played 9...Nfxe4 any more. The only other game in this site is D Musanti vs V Varadi, 2001, where unfortunately Musanti didn't remember about this Fischer's game
Dec-26-04  Alaric: Black resigns because 22...Qxe6?? taking back the piece falls into 23.Qxb7+ Ke8 24.Re1! pinning the queen
Jan-28-05  Backward Development: very nice refutation by Fischer.
Mar-03-05  g.ee: Am I missing something after 17. Nf6+ Qxf6 (...gxf6 18. Bxf7+) 18. Bxf6 gxf6, winning the queen for two minor pieces? Has Fischer annotated this game? I'd like to know how he could resist such a trade, and more importantly why he would do so.
Mar-03-05  DWINS: <q.ee>, I think it's just a matter of taste. Your line certainly wins but I think Fischer's line is equally as strong.

After 17.Qe2+ most of Blacks moves are forced and he resigns just five moves later.

  keypusher: <g.ee> In 60MG Fischer wrote something like "By now I was after bigger game than the paltry win of a queen after 17 N-B6+."
May-21-07  timhortons: MUSANTI VS VARADI 2001....musanti chooses to castle on move 10 instead of taking at f6...hes a queen pawn player AS ID CHECK HIS PAGE...seem he didnt remember these line of fischer which is recorded on almost chess literature
Jan-19-08  Whitehat1963: More Fischer genius.
Nov-19-09  spotkicker: Today 9...Nfe4 and especially 9...Nfe4 10.fe6 Qh4 are abandoned variants in Sozin Attack. The best thing after 9.f5 is playing 9...Be7 for black. 10.fe6 fe6 11.Qe2 Qc7 is more playable.

How does Fischer (White) deal with the threatened <DISCOVERED CHECK>?

12 Nd4-f3!


click for larger view

By playing 12 Nd4-f3!, attacking the Black h4-queen <PRINCIPAL ATTACKER> (Weteschnik), so that the intended <DISCOVERED CHECK> simply loses to 13 Nf3xQh4.

<APA>, attacking the principal attacker, is a standard way to meet the threat of a discovered attack.
