 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: How odd--I thought Bobby was struggling for a draw for most of the game. I don't like his play vs. the f4 pawn from moves 23-30; it seems to me that it only benefitted Tal. I agree with penaol that 38.dc looks better to me, too. Or am I missing something (yet) again? |

| Mar-03-05 | | beatgiant: <An Englishman>
<I don't like his play vs. the f4 pawn from moves 23-30>Agreed. Why not 31. Rd5, creating two connected passed pawns after 31...c4 32. d4. |
|
| Mar-03-05 | | beatgiant: <penarol>
<When I saw 38.d4, I said to myself. "Here is the moment when he lost the game>It is probably still a draw with 43. Ke5 Rxh2 44. Kd6 Re2 45. Rh4 Kc8 46. Rh8+ Kb7 47. Rh1 Kc8 48. Rh8+, etc. The h-pawn is not advanced enough to play a role, so I think 43. h4 was a waste of time. |
|
| Mar-03-05 | | RookFile: If Tal plays dc he doesn't even need any of his 3 pawns still remaining on the board to make a draw. Of course, having those pawns doesn't hurt.... |

 | | Honza Cervenka: <mswood35> 45.Kd6 Rxd5+ 46.Kxd5 a2 would not have saved black. After 47.Kd6 a1=Q 48.e7+ Ke8 49.Rc8+ Kf7 50.e8=Q+ Kg7 (or Kf6) 51.Qh8+ and 52.Qxa1 white wins easily. |
|
| Mar-07-05 | | beatgiant: <Honza>
You are right, I take back my earlier statement <The h-pawn is not advanced enough to play a role>, because it looks like White wins after 45. Kd6 Re2 46. Rg4 Kc8 47. Rg1 a2 48. h5, etc. |
|
| Apr-17-05 | | Schack: Actually, Tal could have won this game with: 43. Ke5 Rxh2 44. Kd6 Re2 45. Rc7 a4 46. Rc3! and Black is in Zugswang! The main line appears to be 46... a3 47. Rxa3 Kc8 (not 47... c1=Q, 48. Ra8+ Qc8 49. e7+ Rxe7 50. Rxc8+ Kxc8 51. Kxe7 and wins) 48. Ra8+ Kb7 49. Ra1 Kb6 50. e7 Kb5 51. Rc1 Kb4 52. Rxc2 Rxc2 53. e8=Q and White should have no trouble winning (at least, under normal tournament conditions). Please let me know if you find any errors in this analysis. |

 | | notyetagm: <PinkPanther: This game is interesting, it's kind of a precursor to the extremely drawish line (1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 e5 3.Bc4) that has become popular with Super GM's nowadays.> I should have played this c5-d6-e5 Black pawn structure last week in a club game when I played the Sicilian against the delayed c3 system. I didn't and got rolled through the center. I was reluctant to make that big hole on d5 but now that I have seen Fischer do it, I know that it cannot be all that bad. :-) |

| May-11-08 | | Lt.Columbo: Hello kibitzers I asked a question yesterday as to the possibility if The Herceg Novi 1970 blitz tourny was the strongest ever. But I didnt get nary a reply. So I'll ask you kind woodpushers again with this interesting game, (Tal Fischer) interesting stuff. Ol Misha could sacrifice almost his whole army and still come up big! While Bobby always had something up his sleeve that his opponents could never put their finger on until the fat lady sung. Again I will ask the important question Was herceg Novi the strongets blitz tournamnet held ever?
Good day kind gentleman |
|
| May-11-08 | | hrvyklly: <notyetagm> The thing to watch out for is Ne2 instead of Nf3, then the hole on d5 becomes too big, and 3...e5 is dubious at best. |
|
| Dec-16-08 | | hcgflynn: What's wrong with 48. e7+? My line is:
48. - Kd7 49. Rc7+ Kxd6 50. e8=Q Kxc7 (50. - a1=Q 51. Qe7+ Kd5 52. Rc5+ Kd4 53. Qe5+  ) 51. Qe5+ I'm not an expert but maybe white can win this situation, right? First, he needs to take black's A-pawn which is easy then the rook somehow. Can he manage this? The draw is sure for white imo. |
|
| Dec-16-08 | | Aspirador: <Again I will ask the important question Was herceg Novi the strongets blitz tournamnet held ever?> I will take on this question: it was definitely not the worst ever. |
|
| Dec-16-08 | | Travis Bickle: If Tal had better health, I think a Fischer Tal match would have been fantastic chess! These two guys epitamize what fighting attacking chess is all about! |

| Jun-17-09 | | The Brain99: Why didn't Tal simply play 50. d8-Q+? Seems like it would be an easy win. Then again, I must be overlooking something. |

| Jun-20-09 | | butilikefur: 45. Kd6 is soo won. I mean I don't even need an engine to say that Tal made a huge mistake with d6. 45. Kd6 Rxd5+ 46. Kxd5 a2 47. Kd6 a1=Q 48. e7+ Ke8 49. Rc8+ Kf7 50. e8=Q+ and after 50...Kg7 or 50...Kf6 51. Qh8+ wins the Black Queen on a1. Aw man, Tal. |

 | | TheFocus: Hands down, this was the strongest blitz tournaments of all time, and Bobby Fischer was the greatest blitz player of all time. Gary Kasparov could not have carried Fischer's jock strap, neither in blitz nor in regular play. Fischer played as an individual and burned his own midnight oil, unlike Kasparov, whose success was due in a big way to his team of helpers. What has been touted as his originality and innovations must be laid at the feet of his helpers. In his heart, although he was a great player, Kasparov will always have to acknowledge Fischer's superiority. |

 | | keypusher: <TheFocus In his heart, although he was a great player, Kasparov will always have to acknowledge Fischer's superiority.> Given that Kasparov wasn't a quitter and proved himself the best player in the world for 20 straight years, he doesn't have to acknowledge anyone's superiority. Given his arrogance, I doubt that Kasparov does. |
