Sep-24-15    offramp: "That's check, Matov." Sep-25-15    perfidious: Always check, it might be Matov. Jan-13-17    wwall: Fischer coasted in the end. He scored 7.5 out of 8 in the first 8 rounds. Oct-07-17    ughaibu: Playing games with an average length of 63 moves can't seriously be characterised as "coasting", regardless of the result. Oct-10-18    Karne: Impressive tournament from Fischer, even though his opposition weren't always of the stellar sort. Oct-11-18    Troller: Some comments by Fischer related through Larsen here: Matulovic vs Fischer, 1968 Oct-11-18    keypusher: Copying from Troller's post: <They really did their best. In advance I had informed them that I was very strict on my demands for the lighting and ineed they procured some special lamps from Zagreb. I was hard on the Yugoslavian players, 7-0! In the last three rounds I didn't play very well; I do not know why. I don't think I was relaxing even though I was already certain to win the tournament. I wanted to win it by a large margin. The last two players were very weak. Ivkov does not play anywhere near as well as he used to. He played a completely horrible opening against me.> I assume by <last two players> Fischer meant Jovanovic and Matov, who finished a combined +1-23=2. Fischer's last two opponents were Gheorghiu and Bertok. NOTE: You need to pick a username and password to post a reply.
