| refutor: on the third anniversary of his death, here's a draw by Canadian legend Abe Yanofsky v. Fischer when he was (almost) in control of his sanity and at the height of his powers (1968) |

| drukenknight: playing in Isreal must have driven Bobby over the edge; whats w/ 18 Ke2 anyhow? Bobby in Israel a year after the 6 Day War. Whose public relations fiasco is this? |

| kostich in time: Bobby wasnt anti-semitic..yet.This game is interesting as an another example of Fischers anti-Caro Kann problems. However, he seems to have finally "solved"the Caro-Kann,as evidenced by his fine win against Petrosian at the USSR vs,The World match in 1970 |

| drukenknight: OConnel/Wade suggest black missed: 29...Bh6+ and it looks dicey with invasion down the g file. They dont say it's a lost game, but then why do they suggest Yanofsky missed it? what do you think of Bobbys 18th? |

| drukenknight: Early stages of Bobby's senility were shown here when Bobby's K, apparently of its own volition, goes on a walk to protest playing conditions. |

| parisattack: Yanofsky was a child prodigy who never *quite* made it to the top ranks. He was a superb endgame player and his book How to Win Endgames is a gem! This game is well annotated in The Games of D.A. Yanofsky edited by David Ross - as is his marathon loss to Fischer at Stockholm 1962. |

| AnalyzeThis: Well, Fischer was a child prodigy who did. He must have been disappointed with his play in this game. |

| parisattack: I'm sure you are correct. I imagine Fischer was disappointed to not win every game! Here he is outplayed (Yanofsky misses 29...Bh6+ to hold the advantage), Fischer equalizes and then presses for a win. |

| Peter Nemenyi: If this game was really played in the twelfth of thirteen rounds at Netanya, then Fischer already had the tournament won by a wide margin, and it wasn't unknown for him to relax in such circumstances. At Vinkovci, also in 1968, he allowed three draws in the last four rounds. |

| parisattack: The final comment in the Ross book cited above: 'It is a credit to Fischer's sportsmanship that having the tournament firmly in his pocket, he fought so fully in this, the penultimate round.' |
