Mar-24-04		kashparov72c5: this was a simul right, i must say it is strange to watch fischer lose at some such a oint in his career. Couldn't white keep checking blacks king?

Dec-16-04		fgh: <kashparov72c5>: 65. Qd7+ Kh6 and white has no more checks and will loose soon.

Jul-20-07		piroflip: not your average sim opponent. rated at 2300!!

Jul-20-07		RookFile: No question, black was a strong player, and played like it in this game. 65. Qd7+ Kh6 66. Rxe1 Rxe1+ 67. Kh2 b1=Q 68. Qf7 Qg6 and that's it.

Sep-16-10		technical draw: He was rated 2300 and was West Germany champion the year before.

Sep-16-10		HeMateMe: Manfred was the Mann! <TD> Impossible, no one rated 2300 could win the championship of West Germany. Lothar Schmid, a fifty year old GM was probably better than this guy.

Sep-16-10		technical draw: <Manfred was the Mann! > And Quinn was the Eskimo! <HeMateMe> That's the info on his bio page. W.German champ in 1969.

Sep-16-10		whiteshark: <HeMateMe> So much about <Impossible <!>> All things are possible when a Man is full of SAP.

Sep-16-10		Atking: I'm curious How namy players on this simul? How many strong players (Up to 2300) ? By experience usually the master lost or draw not against the strongest opponent because he concentrate on these boards but on second opponent rate opposition. Another strange point is the game went far to 60 moves. Usually only few boards (It depends of course of the answer of my first question. If the number of strong players is up to 20 and the number of simul opposition up to 50) still play at move 40. What looks very strange is Fischer got a correct opening and middle game then made many little tactic mistakes. The kind of tactic he usually excelled on. So I suspect the number of the boards and strong players was quite hight.

Sep-16-10		HeMateMe: <technical draw:> I bet the bio here is inaccurate. It seems impossible that a Western country with so many universities could only muster up low 2300 players for the national title. Could there have been an R.A.F. bombing raid that week, low turnout?

May-12-11		BarcelonaFirenze: I read once that Fischer prefered to play on simul no more than 20 boards...
