Apr-18-05		RookFile: Fischer did well to escape with a draw here. Apparently, Spassky did catch him with an opening wrinkle that had developed during Fischer's absence from the game.

Aug-10-07		RookFile: Fischer had tried this 11. c4 against Portisch previously.

Mar-13-11		hottyboy90: Wow hardly any comments whatsoever. Fischer doesnt seem to fare too well against Spassky in the Ruy Lopez for some reason

Mar-13-11		talisman: unless it's the Breyer.

Mar-14-11		hottyboy90: This is the Breyer yet it looked like Fischer was stuggling for a draw here.

Sep-24-11		Zugzwangovich: This game was actually drawn on move 45. For some reason the last nine (quite interesting) moves didn't make it to the box score here.

Sep-24-11		Zugzwangovich: Rather reminiscent of #14 between these two at Reykjavik '72. In both games RJF plays the opening somewhat lackadaisically and gets into trouble when he overlooks or underestimates a Qf6 hit on his b2-pawn. In both Spassky achieves what looks like a winning position but only manages to draw. At least this game doesn't feature a goat move like 27...f6? in the earlier encounter.

Jun-03-12		RookFile: It really was excellent defense by Fischer, after getting into trouble.

Oct-27-12		Chessdreamer: The last nine moves were <37.Ke1 Nf4 38.g3 Nxh3 39.Kd2 Kb5 40.Rd6 Kc5 41.Ra6 Nf2 42.g4 Bd3 43.Re6 Kd5 44.Rb6 Kc5 45.Re6 1/2-1/2>.
