| Dec-15-14 | | MindCtrol9: When Taimanov played 16.Ah5 with the idea to protect the pawn on e5, it looks obvious he did not calculate well because when Fischer captured the pawn on e6 and Taimanov captured on b7, Fischer gets the initiative starting with Nf 6 where he has to retrieve the Bishop followed Rub1 and taking on b2 threatening the Bishop on d2 which is unprotected. |

| Oct-18-15 | | maseras: 26.Qe3?
(26.Qg3! Kh7 27.Rc6!  )
36.Nd4?
(36.g4! ∞) |
|
| Apr-01-17 | | Howard: Timman said recently in NIC that rather than waste time with 27.h3, the immediate 27.Ba6! would have given White a significant advantage. |

| May-19-17 | | Mithrain: What a complex game indeed! Great fighting-chess! |

 | | Dionysius1: I like 2 things about the game. The x-ray capture 39 Nxa7, which is a tactic I'm trying to get to see as routine, and the fact that the final position doesn't look resignable but then when I really look the threat of the black N getting to f3 is too strong. |

 | | Fischerfriend: I'd like to contribute to this legendary game. (Just like the 1st matchgame Fischer-Petrosian the great American won, but not without having overcome great perils...)
In my view, 27.h3 was a fine move and 27..Rf8 was doubtful. Let me explain: In the game there was played:
27.h3 Rf8 28.Ba6 Rb6 29.Rc7? Qa4!
According to Kasparow 29.Bb5 was the right move: 29..Rb5: 30.Rc7 Qe8 31.Rg7:+! Kg7:
32.Bh6:+ Kf7 33.Bf8: Nf8: 34.Nb5: Qb5:
35.Qa7:+ with an equal position.
Now I wonder why, after 27.Bb5! Kasparow gives
27.. Ng4 as black's best defense(, although white holds the advantage after the fine moves:
28.Qg3 Nf4: 29.Bb7: Bd4: 30.Qf4: Bf2:+ 31.Kh1
Bb6 32.Bc6!).
But... why not playing as in the game after 28.Ba6 ? So: 27.Ba6 Rb6! 28.Bb5 Rb5: 29.Rc7 Qe8 and the consequences could similar to 27.h3 Rf8 28.Ba6 Rb6 29.Bb5 Rb5: (or 28.Bb5 Rb5: too),
so 30.Rg7:+ etc.,
but now:
- Rf8 is not at stake, nor is pawn a7
- furthermore h2-h3 would have been pretty
useful for white
So, why going into the complications of 27.Bb5 Ng4, when black can attain a better position as in the game, which was just fine for black!? |

| | Fischerfriend: My reaction to Mindctrl9 from december 15-14:
16.Bh5 was a fine move. Now Black had to capture the e6 pawn with the Queen, after which white took on b7.
If white did not play, Fischer would grab the pawn by Ne8-c7-e6, which would be much more comfortable! |

| | Fischerfriend: Comment to Garech's remark on March-16-12;
I guess the endposition of your variation, after
39..Qb6, is a draw:
40.Bf6: Rf1:+ 41.Kf1: Qb1+ 42.Ke2 Qd3+ perpetual.
Or 40..Qf6: 41.Nh6+ Kg7 42.Nf5+ and again a perpetual check. |
|
| Aug-01-18 | | Howard: Kasparov questioned the choice 36.g4! in his MGP, but Timman gives a brief computer line in NIC that suggests that it was actually White's best option. |

 | | GrahamClayton: 15. Ng5 Qe6 and 16. Nc7 is not possible due to 16...Nc7. |
|
| Nov-02-21 | | N.O.F. NAJDORF: I think Taimanov put pieces on the wrong squares in the opening: Bd2, Rc1, Ng5. Ne6 is a mistake because the resulting pawn on e6 cannot be defended. |
|

 | | perfidious: When White plays the manoeuvre Ng5-e6, he is not looking to defend the pawn, but to gain play on the light squares in exchange for the loss of time. |

27. Ba6 Ng4 28. Qd2 Bxd4 29. Bxb7 Bxf2+ 30. Kh1 e3 ? |

| Mar-11-22 | | jerseybob: It was May 1971 and I was toiling in the AFRTS newsroom in Asmara, Ethiopia(now Eritrea) when the score came over the teletype. I'd been waiting for it. The moves quickly clacked out and I followed the position for the first 13-14 moves before losing the mental picture. The machine stopped, hesitated, and then...0-1! I let out a cheer. |
|
| Mar-11-22 | | alphamaster: I think the game adjourned after Black΄s 40th move and the Soviets resigned the game the next day. Fischer΄s last move Re1! was a surprise for the spectators and annotators but it was the best, as usual. |
|
| Mar-11-22 | | jerseybob: <alphamaster: I think the game adjourned after Black΄s 40th move and the Soviets resigned the game the next day> Could be, I was practically on the moon, as far as communications went in those days, so the whole thing may have happened a day before. With today's instant internet connections, hard to remember a time when you had to wait for news. |

Taimanov sealed 41 Bg4 but resigned without playing on. |
|
| Mar-11-22 | | jerseybob: Thanks Sally, and Tommy says hi. |

I have just realised that it wins rather more than a pawn! |
