  RandomVisitor: 12...Bxe2 13.Kxe2 f6 with black advantage.
Apr-08-09  squizz: How old was Fischer when he played this game?
Apr-08-09  Udit Narayan: Probably 10; he was born in March 1943.
May-01-09  Peter Nemenyi: This is the Bishop's Gambit with 3. Bc4 rather than the commoner 3. Nf3, and all three of Fischer's King's Gambits as White in formal games were the Bishop's Gambit as well. So perhaps this game had an influence on him.
May-12-09  Demadone: Funny way to lose. He really must have been 10. Wonder who recorded it.
Jul-28-09  WhiteRook48: Fischer the dumbo
Aug-11-09  Sebas88: With 10 years "Bobby" and showed good manners, a portent.
Aug-11-09  WhiteRook48: "Blits kills ideas" Bobby Fischer
Dec-15-09  Inf: Wow to see the King Bobby Fischer get mated!

  kingscrusher: Hold on, Dan Mayers player in many UK blitz tournaments, but I don't think mentioned this Fischer win.

Is this the same Dan Mayers as:

  Benzol: <kingscrusher> I believe it is the same player. The game appears in John Donaldson and Eric Tangborns' book 'The Unknown Bobby Fischer'. The first game in the book, an introduction states "The first is provided by Dan Mayers, a former English Senior Champion".

  Phony Benoni: Born in 1922, so he could conceivably be the "D Mayers" at the ACF Congress (US Open) at Boston in 1938.
Feb-19-12  ArtsewS: Just created a short Youtube video on this game (less then 5 minutes) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyU_...
Jun-24-12  itzmajic: Hmm, couldn't believe I seen that move, you can't knock the kid though, it was probably nerves. Wasn't this his first game?
Mar-10-13  Oliveira: Bobby should have played 15...f6; then the game might have continued 16.Rg4+ Kf7 17.Rg7+ Ke8 18.Nxf4 and I wouldn't want to have the black pieces here.

  morfishine: Can't get much more crushing than this; Of course, Fischer supposedly 'busted' the KG 8-years later [ie: 3...d6]
