Jan-21-05		dac1990: A good game showing Fischer's style quite nicely.

Jul-14-05		Swindler: Soltis gives 6.e4 Nxc3 7.bxc3 g6 as more natural, and also gives 7...e5 8.dxe5 Qh4+ as more sharp. Though I fail to see what Black got after 9.g3 Qe7 10.Bf4. Sure, the White kingside is weak but I fail to see anything concrete. Any ideas?

Mar-16-06		keypusher: Hmm, I would expect 7...e5 8 de Qxd1+ 9 Kxd1 Nd7 10 Bf4 0-0-0.

Mar-16-06		RookFile: I think 4. d5 is in order, and probably what Fischer was expecting.

Jun-14-09		Ulhumbrus: 9 Qb3 loses a tempo to defend the d4 pawn, and it allows Black to play the move ...Nc6 ( a move which attacks the d4 pawn) with tempo, as the N threatens then the fork ...Na5. An alternative is 9 Ne2 at once eg 9...Bg7 10 Qd2 Nc6 11 Ne2 0-0-0 12 0-0-0 or 12 Rd1.

Apr-21-10		An Englishman: Good Evening: With 4.d5, White achieves the same position with colors reversed and an extra tempo that Fischer had vs. Petrosian in the 1971 match! I wonder if the post-mortem analysis of this game gave him an idea for future use against Petrosian...

Jun-07-11		joelsontang: 13...Qc6 (simplifying to a simpler ending - Lou Hays). A younger Fischer would definitely have played 13...Nxc4 gaining the 2 bishops without hesitation

Jan-02-13		Zugzwangovich: Would the king-and-pawn ending still be winning for Black if the final sequence had been 35...Bg7 26.Rd3 and then the double exchange of pieces? I realize that this way the White king ends up on d4 instead of c3 the way RJF played it, but I'm not a good enough endgame player to know whether the extra tempo makes a difference in this case.

Jan-02-13		RookFile: <An Englishman: Good Evening: With 4.d5, White achieves the same position with colors reversed and an extra tempo that Fischer had vs. Petrosian in the 1971 match! I wonder if the post-mortem analysis of this game gave him an idea for future use against Petrosian... > I believe that Nimzovich would have known about this possibility. That's why it was so surprising what Petrosian did in allowing that.
