| Nov-16-03 | | fred lennox: <patzer2> Thank you for all that. |

 | | Sneaky: <patzer2> I enjoy your opening commentary as well. Keep it up. |

 | | drukenknight: 7...Nd7 allows the thematic sacrifice Bxe6 followed by Nxe6. Not saying it wins or loses but you would almost certainly be playing into the kind of position that a sicilian player would have studied. That sack is so well known and you would be inviting a strong attack. |

 | | patzer2: <fred lennox> <Sneaky> Appreciate the compliment. Years back I bought a book entitled "blue book of charts to winning chess." It was the first attempt I know of to catalogue opening variations by winning percentage. Studying the book, I changed my opening repertoire to play those variations with the best winning percentages. I credit this approach along with the study of middle game strategy and tactical positions with a 700 point increase in my rating over a three year period. |

 | | tpstar: Phenomenal game for a junior. White grabs a big space advantage right out of the opening and smartly pushes the Kingside Pawns; remember these Pawn storms might backfire, but RJF had everything under control. 24. Rad1 is a nice finesse to get Queens off; 25. Qd6 Qg7? 26. Bd5 wins material. Then 38. Rf4! is a real master stroke; 38 ... Ng5? 39. Rf5+, or 38 ... Nd2 39. b4+. At the end 44 ... Re8 45. bxa6 wins promptly. Great game. |

| Jun-26-08 | | Peter Nemenyi: Yes, a nice hyperagressive pawn storm, which wasn't characteristic of Fischer's adult style. Soltis points out that he was likelier than most grandmasters to attack the Sicilian with a rook lift to the third rank in preference to a general pawn advance. In principle this is the slower plan, but being Fischer, he found the necessary tempi. |

 | | al wazir: 20. Ba3 would have won more simply, since white has to pick up at least a piece. For example, 20...Ra7 21. Nxe5, threatening either 22. f6 gxf6 23. gxf6 Ng6 Nxg6+ or 22. Nxf7+ Rxf7 23. Bxf7 Qxf7 24. Qxb8+. Black is busted. |

 | | whiteshark: Dim Witty |
|
| Feb-24-09 | | newzild: 11.g4 looks risky to me. I play these kinds of positions as both white and black. My instinctive response would be 11...e5. |
|
| Feb-24-09 | | JuliusCaesar: For in depth analysis of the g4-pawnstorm-themes in the Najdorf/Scheveningen complex, see Karpov-Kasparov, game 24, 1985 rematch. It's not easy to take Black 'alive' in these positions. |
|
| Feb-24-09 | | WhiteRook48: no wit in this game. |

 | | kevin86: Fischer on his opponent like Rice on Witte.(Or Condi on Luke) |
|
| Feb-24-09 | | Jim Bartle: Uh, Luke Witte. I believe he got stomped on as well, but literally, not figuratively. Ugly. |
|
| Feb-24-09 | | Chess Carnival: So this is 14 yrs old Fischer. Now I understand why the russians launched the Sputnik program in 1957. There was simply too much to be spied around. |
|
| Feb-24-09 | | JediKush: after 24 be8 check this crazy line out. 25.Nxe5,Nxe5 26. Qxe5. Nd7 27.Rxd7,Bxd7.
28.Bxf7+ qxf7. 29.Rxf7 kxf7. 30 Qd5+
Note if Nbc6 then Qf6 does it :D followed by RD7 sacrificing anyways. |

| | JG27Pyth: Is 38.c4 (...Bxc4 39.Rc1) a perhaps faster win? |
|
Jul-16-09
 | | TheFocus: The opponent is not V. Witte, but Charles Witte of New York, N.Y. |

| | RonB52734: <TheFocus> When you post a correction like that here in the kibitzing area, it's hit-or-miss whether cg.com will ever see it. You should click on "suggest your correction" down near the bottom of the screen (below the box where you type in a new kibitz). This causes a little robotic arm to reach out of Daniel Freeman's CD-ROM drive and tweak him in the nose so that he wakes up and pays attention. :) |

| | TheFocus: Ron, thanks, I will. I have been posting the names of Fischer's opponents that are only given an initial and then last name. Would those count as corrections? |
|
Jul-16-09
| | RonB52734: <TheFocus> Anything that you want to have the site administrators act on to change what's on the site should either be submitted as a correction, or, in rare cases, posted on the "member support" forum: chessgames.com chessforum. Thank you for the corrections you are finding. They are of course worth having, and that's why they're worth putting up in the admin's (Dan Freeman's) face, as it were. |
|

| | RonB52734: <TheFocus> Also, it would be helpful to the admins if you could indicate to them what the source of your information is. For example, I have some old tournament books and if I were to mention that, the admins would be more likely to believe that I'm a reliable source. The whole idea is to have some sense of the reliability of your info. Cheers! |

| | TheFocus: <RonB52734> Thank you for that information and help. I have been doing some Fischer research and have the names of all his opponents except for 14. I will eventually find those too, as I have quite a sizable library (over 700 volumes), and was able to find two more names last night. For example, the Charles Witte info comes from the US Open 1957 cross-table. |

| | RonB52734: <TheFocus> I'm glad to have been of some help. I'm just another member of this site but I appreciate anyone who has historical info that can make the site more accurate. Keep up the good work! |
