| Oct-12-10 | | howlwolf: As a longtime player of the KID I would love to have seen Fisher go up against the Bayonet more frequently. (Like so many I would have been happy to see Bobby play any competitive chess after 1972.) Radjabov is my current inspiration and at this point I am following his occasional path to the Glek as a means of avoiding the Bayonet. |

 | | Eduardo Bermudez: Fischer played this special chessgame only using his cerebellum !! |
|
| Oct-12-10 | | drnooo: to Fischers credit, he insisted on long matches for the worlds championship. The first to win ten games with Karpov. Had he figured he could dispose of Karpov lightly, he would never have insisted on a ten game win match. That could have gone on for months. But it would have been a real test, and he knew he would be up against the entire soviet union this trip around, fully prepared for him. |
|
| Oct-12-10 | | James Bowman: <Curious, isn't it, that Fischer never moved his Queen or Ra8? If a mere mortal such as myself attempted that, I would lose because of my lack of development.> Yet his Queen was very well develpoed and had no better square holding the center and attacking the flanks, very instructive. |

 | | KingG: I think Korchnoi should have played 18.Ba3, preparing a knight sacrifice on c5, which would have at least given him some counter-play. |

| | Eduardo Bermudez: Classic Blitz Chess !!! |
|
| Mar-31-12 | | King Death: The maneuver with ...Ng6-h8-f7-g5xh3 is the end for White's king. Nice work by the great one! |

| Jul-17-12 | | LIFE Master AJ: In the CLASSIC KID book (Barden Hartston and Keene; 1973), in the introductory notes, they call this "One of the best KID games ever played." http://www.angelfire.com/games3/lif... (My annotations of this game.) |

| Jul-18-12 | | JoergWalter: "There Is No Indispensable Man"
by Saxon N. White Kessinger, Copyright 1959
Sometime when you're feeling important;
Sometime when your ego's in bloom
Sometime when you take it for granted
You're the best qualified in the room,
Sometime when you feel that your going
Would leave an unfillable hole,
Just follow these simple instructions
And see how they humble your soul;
Take a bucket and fill it with water,
Put your hand in it up to the wrist,
Pull it out and the hole that's remaining
Is a measure of how you will be missed.
You can splash all you wish when you enter,
You may stir up the water galore,
But stop and you'll find that in no time
It looks quite the same as before.
The moral of this quaint example
Is do just the best that you can,
Be proud of yourself but remember,
There's no indispensable man. |
|
| Jul-25-12 | | LIFE Master AJ: Rhymes of an idiot. (Pointless. And it has no bearing or connection to this game!) |

 | | perfidious: <JoergWalter> There are a few people in this world who would do well to remember that little poem. Though a blitz game, this remains a classic example of Black's possibilities in the King's Indian when given a free hand. |
|
| Jul-26-12 | | JoergWalter: <perfidious> this little poem was meant for the poor persecuted poster who finally decided <that I will probably not be renewing my premium membership.> I shall probably NOT miss him.
The game - I love it. |

| | perfidious: <JoergWalter> When I came back to CG, he went straight to ignore. Life's a lot easier that way. The 'threat' of not renewing is probably just another play for sympathy. Let him whine to the few who tolerate his antics. In the 1990s, when I was playing the King's Indian, the move I played in this was also 9....c5. By then, though, the popular reply had become 10.dxc6 bxc6 11.b4 d5 12.Ba3, which is what I faced in my only game against 9.Nd2. It's unfortunate that this game featured the strategic error bxc5, but it was the very early days of this whole line, and if even great players can make mistakes, we ordinary mortals are more than capable. Anyone who doubts that need only look at some of my games on CG! |

 | | TheFocus: <The 'threat' of not renewing is probably just another play for sympathy.> Or maybe he's just cheap. I heard that donations to his web-site have fallen off lately. Sad, really. I mean, those award-winning web pages and YouTube videos should have money funneling in, at least enough to pay for a Premium Membership here. It's getting harder and harder for a LifeMaster to make a living. Perhaps we should run a telethon to raise some money for him? Anyone got change for a nickel? |

| Jul-26-12 | | Colonel Mortimer: <TheFocus:> lol |

| | harrylime: Blitz game and Fischer certainly did blitz Korchnoi. Only Fischer can advance chess so far in ideas thru a blitz game.... |
|

| | TheFocus: <JoergWalter> I love the poem. It really fits <AJ> to a T. I wish I had written it. |
|
| Jul-26-12 | | I play the Fred: <Nikolai>, if you can spare the time, please drop into my forum. I have questions for you which shouldn't take up space here. |

| | TheFocus: <Fred> Be careful what you ask for... But I may have to be discreet in some of my answers. |

 | | hedgeh0g: <The 'threat' of not renewing is probably just another play for sympathy. Let him whine to the few who tolerate his antics.> There's no way he'd ever let his premium membership expire. Someone so vain and egotistical couldn't live without having his portrait attached to his posts. |
|
| Oct-23-12 | | blitzpatzer: Nh8..Nf7..Ng5..Nxh3.. boom! |
|
| Nov-30-12 | | Olsonist: The black queen never moves and the knight goes on an odyssey! This game is just soo much fun. Seven moves: Nc6 Ne7 Ng6 Nh8 Nf7 Ng5 Nxh3
By the time it gets sac'd on move 28, a quarter of Black's moves are by that Knight. |
