  Nezhmetdinov: The plan with B4 seems to take Bobby by surprise rather.

For some reason, this is the only surviving game of a 4 game match between Fischer and Matulovic. I've never heard the story behind why the other 3 games are lost, or how the match was arranged in the first place. We can assume it was an Interzonal tune-up, but beyond that...
