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. |

 | | 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 |

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. |

Also nice defense |

Apr-02-14 | | crchandler: "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.." Actually, this game follows game 19 of the Korchnoi-Karpov WCC match 1978, where Korchnoi, playing white, at one point did indeed play Bxe4. |
|
Oct-05-16 | | RookFile: Fischer could have played something like 6. b3. He was really good at those slow buildups, with gradual pressure on the black position. |
|
Jul-22-25 | | ZonszeinP: He probably wanted to disconnect black two pawns in the centre.
I wonder whether 23. ... Bxf3 took him by surprise |
