Oct-07-03		ughaibu: Fischer had a strong preference for bishops over knights so in this game 7.Nf3 may have been the winning move from the psychological standpoint.

Oct-07-03		Benjamin Lau: Fischer's preference and stronger intuition for the bishops is why I've always wondered why he played the Nimzo Indian occasionally. His record is relatively bad with it.

Feb-25-05		aw1988: A powerful game.

Nov-16-06		ToTheDeath: It's amazing how much resistance Fischer puts up in losing positions.

Nov-16-06		Pawn and Two: In his book, "How To Beat Bobby Fischer", Edmar Mednis stated after Black's 36th move, <Clearly the "automatic" active 36...Re2 must be the right move. Fischer would be the first to know and realize it. He did not like that White could then force a draw with 37.Rc7 Ke8 38.Rc8+, etc>. Mednis was of the opinion that the losing moment occurred at move 37. He believed Black would still have excellent drawing chances if he had played 37...Rf5.

Nov-17-06		RookFile: Yeah, there was another game, I think it was against Matulovich, where Fischer lost the exchange right out of the opening. So, Fischer defended tenaciously, and could have made a draw by 3 fold repetition - and spurned it! Later, the game ended up as a draw anyway. Only Fischer.
