Mar-20-05		RookFile: 17. Bxe4 is an absolutely shocking move for Bobby Fischer to play... more typical of Korchnoi. The old Fischer would never have played this, I believe.

Mar-20-05		offramp: It is not too bad a move, though 17.Nd3 looks more like a Fischer move.

Dec-29-05		seeminor: 23...Bxe3! sets of a fine tactical battle which ends in an a fair draw.

Apr-17-06		chess champion 8: I don't think Bxe4 was a bad move. Even though Nd3 does look more like a fischer move I think Bxe4 does still but Fishcer in an ok position.

Aug-10-07		RookFile: It was part of a surprising trend in this match, that Fischer in many positions favored knight over bishop... that was very rarely true in his earlier career.

Nov-29-08		Travis Bickle: Did Bobby ever play the catalan before this match?

Jan-31-09		WhiteRook48: nice Fischer game

Apr-05-09		DWINS: <Travis Bickle>, Fischer had used the Catalan only once before, against Attilio Di Camillo in the 1957-58 United States Championship. Di Camillo had accepted the Catalan with an early ...dc, but here Spassky conservatively declined it with 6...Nbd7. Fischer vs A Di Camillo, 1957

Sep-27-09		WhiteRook48: Fischer decided to give up the Catalan after this

Mar-12-11		fab4: <RookFile: 17. Bxe4 is an absolutely shocking move for Bobby Fischer to play... more typical of Korchnoi. The old Fischer would never have played this, I believe. > I have to agree. Simply 17 Nd3 looks ok.. The 'old Fischer' would've been physically sick upon seeing such a move played lol

Mar-12-11		hottyboy90: Nice tactical shot with 23...Bxf3 but Fischer had the resoucefulness to find that perpetual check and overall a great game by these two men. All i can say is he was lucky to have found that perpetual...

Jun-03-12		RookFile: Anand just got done playing Gelfand, where he favored the knights too. Looking at this game with those eyes, it seems to fit right in with what Anand did.
