Jan-07-05		ReikiMaster: Black caved in under slowly accumulating pressure. Perhaps this opening should be renamed after older Masters than Fischer. All respect to his genius but he clearly did not invent this line.

Jan-07-05		fred lennox: An error is in this game. It should be 5. Nge2.

Jan-07-05		Hinchliffe: <FredLennox> Sorry Fred for being pedantic but text is correct the other knight c3 cannot move at least not legally.

Jan-07-05		tamar: Nice game for a winter's day. The white pawns advance like glaciers. Kramnik showed a way to fight against this general strategy in a rapid game versus Kasparov: never co-operate with White's plans. Kasparov vs Kramnik, 2001

Jan-07-05		Gypsy: Thanks for the insights <tamar>. (I have been an avid reader of your notes.)

Jan-07-05		tamar: <Gypsy> I have often thought it is a great luxury to have written records of chess games, that we can take one game and swirl it around in our minds all day, while driving, doing work etc. I read your comments as well, and think your method of analyzing without software is superior to mine and I am trying lately to get back to more independent methods! It is very hard, because I hate to be wrong.

Jan-07-05		delterp: Humorous. The great Akiba Rubenstien plays an opening named after Bobby Fischer . . .who isn't even born at the time the game is played.

Jan-07-05		Dudley: Don't mean to be a pedant, but I believe the Fischer variation refers to Black's 4...b6 rather than 5.Ne2. They really should call it the Nimzo variation of the Nimzovitch defense, as it was his favorite also.

Jan-07-05		Dudley: Of course, 4.e3 is the Rubinstein variation, so he was playing his own line for White.
