| | RookFile: This ...Ra7 idea is really interesting. Do you play such a move against Bobby Fischer? But, I can find no flaw in it, I think after 10... Ra7 white plays 11. Bd5 and black goes .... Nd4. |

| Aug-02-08 | | jerseybob: This is the second of the two games Fischer and Soltis played that day, but incredibly the score of the first seems to have been lost. In a picture taken of them in play, we can see it was a Najdorf Sozin. Reportedly Soltis as white got the advantage and actually won Fischer's Queen but eventually lost. Is there any score of this game floating around? |

Here is the picture:

| Aug-28-10 | | jerseybob: GrahamClayton: Thanks, but I already have the picture. What I want is the score, and I can't believe that Soltis isn't able to reconstruct it. |
|
| Jan-06-11 | | wordfunph: <jerseybob> no score available, they were playing almost too fast for the spectators to follow. twas the game where Soltis resigned and said to a New York Times reporter that he knew he would lose even though he had a winning position.. |
|
| May-30-11 | | jerseybob: To beat this dead horse just a little more...Fischer was reportedly able back in the early '70s to reconstruct blitz games he'd played over a decade before during his visit to Moscow in 1958. This reportedly occurred during a conversation with one of the Soviets he'd played then, possibly Krogius. So what's the big deal about somebody getting this score correct right after it was played.? I bet even now, Soltis could at least partially reconstruct it. |

| Sep-11-12 | | Helios727: Why not continue with 25... h6 ? Did Soltis lose on time? |
|
| Sep-12-12 | | Helios727: Never mind. 26. gxf7+ would follow. |

 | | HeMateMe: You don't hear much about Soltis on this site. He has written about 100 chess books, some of them very good. Here, he plays a guy named Bob. |

| Nov-23-12 | | Atking: <GrahamClayton:> Seeing the picture the game might be something like : 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6 6.Bc4 e6 7.Bb3 b5 8.0-0 Be7 9.Qf3 Qd7!? 10.a3 Bb7 Soltis playing the Sozin against Fischer's favorite Najdorf. 9...Qc7 is usual. 9...Qb6 sometime but I had never seen 9...Qd7. |
|
| Dec-24-12 | | jerseybob: Atking: I've looked at this picture countless times and never noticed it's a knight on a2, not a pawn! So the sequence ...(black)b5 (white)a4,(black)b4 (white)Na2 must've occured. I doubt if Soltis played a3; that move is usually played to ensure the knight DOESN'T have to move. |
