| Nov-13-02 | | drukenknight: Wade/OConnell's Fischer book mentions this game and says that Evans in Chess Life says that after 10...Kd6 Larsen said "now I play for a win!" Evans says then "he got slaughtered after 11 c4..." what do people think: that black should play for the draw by 10...Kf7 or can he play for a win? IF so does 14...Ne4 keep it going? |

 | | AgentRgent: DK, Against Fischer, I'm taking the Draw. Then again against most players I'd take the draw after Nxf7. But it's been my experience that few players will play the sac and they end up worse for it. |

| May-07-05 | | woodenbishop: OUCH!! Larsen was seriously spanked in this game by the computer-like attacking style of Fischer. |
|
| May-07-05 | | RookFile: There's a story about this. This
had happenned before. In a real
tournament game, Larsen had tried
this ...Nd7 idea against Tal.
As you might imagine, Tal thought
of this Nxf7 idea in about a half
a second. But he saw that this wasn't
simple, and was very conflicted about
it, thought a long time over it, and
then played something else and only
got a draw. They called this "Tal
blinked".
So, here we have Fischer, with his
fantastic opening preparation ( what
he did alone rivals what Kasparov
did with a team ) who had worked out
all the consequences of this. In
a 5 minute game, no less, his fantastic memory allowed him to go through all the complications without difficulty. Tal vs Larsen, 1965

| Nov-07-10 | | tentsewang: LOL! What a great way to fool the greedy GMs to make themselves turn in to a poison trap. Fischer's the Best of the Best! |

 | | OBIT: <RookFile>Fischer's play hardly points to deep opening preparation, since his queen checks on h5 and g4 only invite a quick three-fold repetition. Well, OK, I suppose the other possible explanation for the queen checks is that Fischer was playing psychologically - Larsen's disdain for draws was well known, and he often pointed out with great pride how low his draw percentage was compared to other GMs. Knowing that, maybe Fischer played into the draw to see if Larsen's aversion to draws would get the better of him. Sure enough, it did - after 10...Kd6 Black's king is in serious trouble, even in a blitz game. So who says you should always "play the board, not the man"? I think everyone plays some moves based on their opponent's rating or reputation. Even Fischer, the guy who said, "I don't believe in psychology, I believe in good moves" did it. |
