May-01-05		aw1988: Lol, nice final position.

Mar-25-07		TaxiDriver: Looking at this game Im convinced Fischer could play any opening system effectively except maybe the French because he didnt like it lol. But obviously Bobby had a very deep understanding of positional and attacking chess! Its a pleasure to watch the Maestro work, always attacking, and bettering the position with strokes like Rembrandt, and with relative ease.

Jan-01-08		Eyal: 34.Kh2! is a nice tactical touch by Fischer, effectively killing Black's attempt to get active counterplay by R8c4 and g5. The point is to make 35.R1d7 possible, as black can't counter with Rc1 - since this move isn't made with a check anymore, the rook on c3 is pinned because of White's mate threat on h8.

Jan-01-08		maxi: Thanks for the comment, Eyal.

Jun-12-09		Anthony1: after move 28 I thought Fischer had enough to start his attack on the center pawn. Instead he took time to play e3 and a3 to shore up all pawn positions before launching. I got a good lesson out of that.

Dec-19-09		BotanicalKnight: This is a really great game. I have played it over a lot. Very nice job by Bobby!

Mar-12-10		Anthony1: 35 ... g5 was the death knell of a bad move. Filip was in a passive position the whole game especially after tucking his Queen away on e8 early in the game. Could he have equalized with 35 ... Rc1 and threatening mate in one?

Mar-12-10		Fischer of Men: 36.Qh8# (or Rh8)

Dec-29-12		Garech: Nice game from The Don. -Garech
