| |
|
GreenCastle: Interesting to note that Jonny Hector play the Veresov for White. This 2..e5 business is curious. 4.Nb5 Nc6 5.Nf3 Bc5 6.Bg5! followed by c3 is already better for White.

GreenCastle: Steve's father is Robert Kazmierczak, but I doubt Robert was under 18 years old in 2001. So I'm guessing no.

The reaction of most people who don't play chess in this thread is sad. They can't look past Fischer's antisemitism or 9-11 remarks and appreciate what he accomplished for chess and his country.

GreenCastle: I've analyzed this and I can't find a significant mistake by either side... truly a thing of beauty :)

GreenCastle: 18...Qxc5 loses an exchange to 19.Bc4+ Kh8 20.Bd6 Qb6 21.Bf7

The Re8 cannot escape the fury of White's bishops (..Rd8 Be7)

GreenCastle: <whiteshark: 1. Rh1+ Kb2 2. Ra1! Kxa1 3. Kc2!>
Does 1.d5 also work?
1.d5 exd5 2.Kc3 a1=Q+ 3.Kb3 and Black can't stop Rh1+.
[DIAGRAM]
1...exd5 2.Kc3 a1=N 3.Rd2 Kc1 is a possible defense, I guess.

GreenCastle: 22. g8+!  moves 23.gxh3
There is no good way to meet the threat of Bxc6. Black will be down a whole rook.
