| Feb-08-08 | | ruyfanatic: <kevin86:> What do you mean by "get into the head of Spassky? |
 |
| Feb-08-08 | | Aspirador: <ruyfanatic> He means "get into the head" not "giving head". Please compare with posting guideline #1. |
|
| Feb-08-08 | | Gameoverziggy: < He means "get into the head" not "giving head". Please compare with posting guideline #1.> Since when did Ruy ever imply what you are suggesting he implied, he asked a simple question. |
|
| Feb-08-08 | | Aspirador: I didn't say that ruy implied anything of the sort. I just wanted to clear up the situation. :=) |
|
| Feb-08-08 | | Gameoverziggy: You implied what Ruy said was in a sexual fashion when all he did was ask the meaning of "getting in the head" not "giving head". |
|
| Feb-09-08 | | Aspirador: I publicly apologize for ever alluding to the fact that the words "getting into Spassky's head" could be misread as an expression for oral sex. It was never my intention to do so, and I am deeply sorry for the stir this has caused. |

 | | Ulhumbrus: The answer to the following question may be instructive: What does White gain (or Black lose) if Black replies to 19 b4 with 19...cxb3? One alternative to 29...Bxe4 is 29...Ng8 eg 30 axb4 axb4 31 Rxa8 Bxa8 32 Ra7 g5 33 Qa5 g4 34 hg hg 35 Nd2 f5 36 exf5 Bxd5. There are at least two justifications for this: (1) If this loses, Black may be lost anyway
(2) If White can undevelop his QN, why can't Black undevelop his KN? |
|
| Nov-29-08 | | Travis Bickle: In the recent Spassky interview he said that games 1 and 15 of the '92 rematch were interesting. So I decided to post game 1 and 15. Spassky said that after Bobby won game 1 Fischer seemed to lose all his energy, talk about rust. |
|
| Jan-23-09 | | WhiteRook48: Great game by Fischer. This was the second match?! Wow, I didn't know until I looked at the year. |
|
| Mar-29-09 | | JoergWalter: A triumphant return of the king.
Just recalled Karpov's comments like:
"one game was extremely good, game 1",
"g4 is a fantastic resource, I like the game because of this move" and finally "this game is the beauty of any competition". In my mind objective and fair statements of someone who has written chess history himself. |
|
| Mar-29-09 | | 5hrsolver: < MichAdams: Is it possible that none of the GMs saw 40.Nh4 because GM Keene was standing in the way?> Thats funny!!! |
|
| Aug-01-09 | | totololo: How can you even think that Gazza will praise high FIscher and accept that F> was and is No1 chess player for all time? and by the way who cares? F> has nothing to demonstrate to anybody. Looking from high, he should have some fun looking to patzers like us..... |

(2) If White can undevelop his QN, why can't Black undevelop his KN?> Lets take a look at your line after 29...Ng8 30.axb5 axb5 (30...Qxb5?? 31.Ba4! and the Queen is trapped) 31.Rxa8 Bxa8 (31...Rxa8 is another move one should look into) 32.Ra7 g5 and now 33.Qa6! 
click for larger viewnow after 33...g4 34.hxg4 hxg4 35.Nfd2 Black can not play the freeing 35...f5 because of 36.Qxd6. In fact it is very hard to suggest anything for Black here. To answer your questions: I believe after 29.Nb1 Black is lost and the reason 29...Ng8 does not work is because White's K-side is much more solid than Black's Q-side. |

| | Hesam7: I think Black is lost after 29.Nb1:
click for larger view but it would be interesting to see what is his toughest defense. Here are two ideas: [1] My engine suggests: 29...Rab8 30.axb5 axb5 31.Ra7 Rd8 32.Ra5 Bc8 33.Na3 Bd7 and Black somehow holds everything together. [2] Seirawan gives 29...Nxe4 30.Bxe4 Nf6! 31.Nbd2 Nxe4 32.Nxe4 Bxd5 33.Ned2 as an improvement over the game. |

Qd4+ Ke6, which leads nowhere in particular."> Thanks for the nice citation, RB. This post is very reminiscent of the Robert Byrne-Fischer game of the early 1960s, when Byrne, with White, was resigning even as "GMs analyzing in the press room" thought that White was winning. |

"one game was extremely good, game 1",
"g4 is a fantastic resource, I like the game because of this move" and finally "this game is the beauty of any competition"> One can only wonder if seeing this game made Karpov recapitulate his feelings from 1975, when he was on the verge of playing Fischer for the WC title, only to have the match fall apart, due to Fischer resigning the title. I recall that Karpov said he felt like "a child who is promised a wonderful toy, only to have it taken from him"... So many of us chess fans to this day would give much to see the 1975 WC match played OTB. |

| Sep-11-10 | | Lil Swine: well its like two seniors trying to go boxing, ( hey, you knocked my dentures out) |
|
| Sep-11-10 | | Petrosianic: Botvinnik and Steinitz both won world championship matches when they were older than Fischer was here. Alekhine also was champion at an older age than this, though he played no matches then. |

Qd4+ Ke6, which leads nowhere in particular."> That's common with Fischer games. You play this over, all the moves are so 'obvious'. It's when you try to find them yourself that you realize his strength, even if here, he was not in his prime. |

| Jan-02-12 | | kasparvez: Nh4 leading to Nf5 threatening mate through sacrifice is indeed great chess! Beautiful. |
|
| Feb-03-13 | | pescau: More than one year since the last comment, and more than two since the previous one! Anyways, Alekhine's cannon has been mentioned in a previous comment, but I find it funny, and aesthetically pleasant, that the cannon was built on a still closed column (moves 22-26). I know that it's not possible to avoid opening it up, but who would have dared such a daring plan? These kind of moves I find inspiring.
Cheers.

| Feb-03-13 | | pescau: And now that I'm at it, I could not find comments praising white's 42nd move (keep in mind that 42 is the answer to everything, among other things). When the king, after the queen's check, discovers an attack on the poor knight: <41.  d4+  e6> the knight on h4 has to move. Where to? Well, to f5, of course! <42.  f5  f8 (42. ... gxf5 43. xf5#)>. Isn't this clever? Cheers.

| Mar-31-13 | | leka: The truth about Fischer Kasparov Carlsen are the same level of players.Fischer Carlsen Kasparov match of these would end 12-12 a draw.No one gave Alekhine no chance against the chess machine J.Capablanca in 1927.Fischer himself put on the top spot 1.Paul Morphy 2.Howard Stauton.Fische knew the chess game.Arpad Elo gives Capablanca elo rating 2725 it is a joke.Capablanca-Reti game combination Capablanca move the computer thinks 16,24% mor time than famous bishope6! a nimzo indian between Kramnik-Kasprov.Kramnik today 2810 and Capablanca 2847.This game Fischer-Spasskt 40.Knight h4!! all the others grandmasters got it wrong |

Can't remember where] that Fischer saw a physician during the match because of his low energy. The doctor told Bobby to stop eating so much! Fischer was famous for eating quite a bit. Betty Roberts had Fischer over for dinner one time and noted that he could "really pack it away" [meaning food]. |
