Apr-16-09 | | Riverbeast: I heard this was Bobby playing in this simul in disguise...he was wearing glasses with the fake big nose and mustache. When they asked if he was Bobby, he said "Naaah...My name's Jespa"! |

Jun-25-09 | | TheFocus: Actually, this was an exhibition where Reshevsky played blindfold 10 seconds a move against ten players who had sight of the board. Reshevsky won 6 and lost 4. This was the first game between Reshevsky and Fischer, played before the Rosenwald Tournament. |
|
May-13-11 | | TheFocus: Actually, <TheFocus>, it was played after the Rosenwald Tournament. |
|
Jul-11-11 | | Benzol: So this is really Bobby not Jesper Fischer ? |
|
Jul-11-11 | | Petrosianic: <Actually, <TheFocus>, it was played after the Rosenwald Tournament.> Well, after Rosenwald '56, before Rosenwald '57. But not their first game together, no. |
|
Jul-11-11 | | TheFocus: Right. Reshevsky won their first game in Rosenwald Cup '56, then Fischer beat him in this game, before RC '57. Would you believe this was my very first post?
And I made a mistake in it?
Some Fischer expert I turned out to be.
<Benzol> It's Bobby. |

Jul-11-11 | | Petrosianic: Opening night jitters. Still not as bad as Petrosian in that first game with Botvinnik. Speaking of Rosenwald, I've never heard the circumstances behind how the US Championship ceased to be a Lessing J. Rosenwald tournament. It wasn't his death. Rosenwald lived until 1979, but the last "US Championship and Lessing J. Rosenwald Tournament" was in 1969. |
|
Jul-11-11 | | TheFocus: I never heard either.
Maybe he no longer sponsored the tournament? |

Jan-02-22 | | checkxmate: Playing the English Opening was solid. Black accepted it by playing the Anglo-Indian. With this move Fischer can then transpose into the Indian defense. And Reshevsky kept an eye on that d5 square originally. Bd3 equals to about a -1.6 loss to Reshevsky, as the game could continue like (15. ...Bg4 16. Be4 a5 17. h3 Bxf3 18. Bxf3 a4 19. g4 axb3 20. axb3 e6 21. Be3 Ra3 22. b4 Rc8 23. g5 ...). I used Stockfish for this, and it seems to think that Bd3 was a bad move. I honestly feel the same. |

Jan-03-22 | | RookFile: Despite appearances, the computer says Reshevsky was apparently winning in the ending with 33. Kd3. |
|
Jan-03-22 | | DouglasGomes: 33.Kd3/34.Ke4 is a lethal infiltration through the light squares and also targets Black's pawns, Black will be forced to zugzwang trying to defend against this. |

 | | ajk68: 33. c6? gave up the win.
35. b5? caused the loss. It was better at this time to push c7!, sacrificing the pawn, to allow the king access to the d5 square (35...Kxc7 36. Kd5). Black's best shot is 36...g4 37. Kxe5 g3 38. hxg3 fxg3 39. fxg3 Bd6+ skewering the f3 pawn. |
