| Jun-20-05 | | Albertan: According to the Shredder 8 chess program, Fischer made a mistake on move 36 in this game He could have played 36...Rc5 instead and after 37.Rc3 d5 38.Rd3 Kg5 39.b4 Rc4 40.Rxd5+ Kf4 41.g3+ Kf3 he would have equality. |

| Jun-20-05 | | offramp: And it looks as if the pawn ending after 37.Rxc5 is drawn. |

| Jun-20-05 | | RookFile: Well, "The Complete Games of Bobby Fischer", by Wade and O'Connell, doesn't see it this way. I don't have time to convert from descriptive to algebraic notation, so, I'll just copy this verbatim: 36.... R-QB4 37. RXR NPXR 38. K-N3 P-Q4 39. K-B4 P-Q5 40. K-K4 K-N4 41. P-KN3 K-B3 42. P-QN4! PXP 43. KXP followed by K-B4 and KXP wins -- Larry Evans |
|
| Jun-20-05 | | offramp: But in that line 38...Kg5 looks better. |

 | | Eyal: Position after 50.g3:
click for larger viewAccording to both Mednis (in "How to Beat Bobby Fischer") and Kasparov (in OMGP), Fischer's losing mistake was 50...Rb2+? This way, he gives up his advanced pawn on d3, and remains after move 54 with a pawn which, unlike White's, cannot be supported by the king (which is cut off from the 6th rank by the white rook). Instead, he should have just marked time with his king - e.g. 50...Kg7 51.h4 gxh4 52.gxh4 Kh7 53.h5 Kg7 54.Ke3 Kh7 55.h6 Rc3 56.Rd6 Rb3 57.b6 Kh8 58.Kd4 d2 59.Kc5 Rb2 60.Rd7 Rc2+ 61.Kb5 Rb2+ 62.Kc6 Rc2+ 63.Kb7
Rb2 64.Ka7 Ra2+ and White can't make further progress. I think that this game was the last time in which Fischer tried in the KID the idea of Bf6 with an exchange of DSBs. It didn't work well for him either in Tal vs Fischer, 1959 and Reshevsky vs Fischer, 1960 (where he managed to draw, but got an even worse position than in the present game with 12...Ne8 instead of Nd7). |

Oops.
9...Bf6 looks rather bad, Fischer loses his fianchettoed bishop on g7 |

Had several runs where I got a string of Reshevsky's moves. Pretty standard opening, from which Fisher allowed some excellent White moves. |

| Jun-17-09 | | AnalyzeThis: <whiterook48: 9...Bf6 looks rather bad, Fischer loses his fianchettoed bishop on g7 > So? That's often his worst piece on the board, particularly when white gets the pawns on e4, d5, and c4, and black has his central pawns locked on dark squares. Petrosian routinely won games with white in the king's indian by trading off his minor pieces in such a way that in the endgame, he had a knight or something against that bad bishop. Fischer's losing mistake didn't come until much later. |

| Jun-16-10 | | elohah: 20...? This looks rather outrageous.
I would rather move the rook and dump the f-pawn, just to post a knight on e5, rather than do this.
Or I would rather play ...Nh4, trying to provoke g3, and just go back.
Or...But White's already better.
60...if g3, 61 Rc3! nails it. |
