Kibitzer's Corner
Aug-09-07  RookFile: Pretty humorous that white lines all his men up to prevent ...d5. Fischer plays it anyway and wins.
Sep-01-08  ToTheDeath: Quite a see-saw battle actually. 26.Rc1? is a mistake, losing material.

White played well to recover afterwards. 38.Re8! Rxd7 39.Rxd7+ Kxe8 40.Rxd2 would have left Black struggling for a draw.

Fischer outplayed Foguelman from the unclear ending that followed.

Aug-03-14  daugava: I could never find a move like 26..Rxc2!
Also, once white rook got to seventh rank and pawns to d6 and e5, I thought Fischer was toast :) But, somehow his pawns always do better job at passing than opponents'!
