  chancho: Taking the Knight(28...Kxf6??)would have given Fischer "Knightmares."
Apr-14-06   zev22407: The N-e4-:f6 looks tempting but Fischer brings his heavy artilery on the b' file and the B becomes active

28. Kxf6 leads to...
29. Qh4+ Kxf5
30. Rf1+ ...

and this really hurts :)

Feb-13-09   M.D. Wilson: I know it's rudimentary, but I honest believe that the Sicilian Defense gives black the best chances. Although I have experimented with the Caro-Kann and the French, I rarely deviate from the Sicilian Defense now. Fischer shows why it's both trustworthy and winnable. This game just reinforced this view
Feb-13-09   M.D. Wilson: Qa5 is a nice touch.
Nov-03-09   Garech: Yes, 28. ... Kxf6 is a ?? in view of 29. ... Qh4+ with mate to follow quickly.
