| Oct-16-19 | | Octavia: it's in DRAW, The Art of the Half-Point in Chess by Verkhovsky. The last game in the book with 7...Ne7 missing. That's why I had to come here today. |
|
| Nov-17-19 | | outplayer: Games like this would never occur between two patzers. They were geniuses. |
|
| Nov-20-19 | | dashjon: 19 Kh1 is one of my favorite moves of all time. |
|
| Apr-16-20 | | Terminator123: In my modest opinion, the black dressed man behind Fischer is Jonathan Penrose. |

 | | chancho: Here's a picture of Penrose from the same event: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipe... Doesn't look like the fellow behind Fischer. |

 | | roberts partner: The black dressed player peering over the board behind Fischer is actually Julius Szabo of Romania. Take it from me, I played Julius Szabo at that Olympiad in Leipzig 1960. |

 | | perfidious: <roberts partner>, I was about to ask whether you ever met the better-known Laszlo Szabo, then unearthed a game. Out of respect for your privacy, I shall not post the link to it. |

| Nov-10-20 | | MordimerChess: Playing French Defense 1 year after beating Bobby 4-0 in Candidates Tournament was quite a psychological warfare idea. Video analysis of the game:

 | | plang: The line with 5..Ba5 has always been a sideline though Botvinnik had used it three times against Smyslov in their 1954 match and Vaganian and Lputian had used it many times in the 80s and 90s. Fischer gave 12 Bb5 an exclamation point but nowadays 12 Bf4 is the main line and is considered stronger. 12..Rxg2 13 Kf1..Rg8 14 Rg1 would have favored White. Fischer gives the variation 14 Bxc6..Bxc6 15 Qxf7..d4 16 Qxe6+..Bd7 17 Qxe7..Rxg2+ 18 Kxg2..Bh3+ 19 Kxh3..Qxe7 20 Bg5 with a win for White but Psakhis thinks that White's advantage would not be decisive if Black plays instead (in the above variation) 18 Kh1..Rxf3 19 Bg5..Rgxf2 20 Rxf2..Rxf2 21 Kg1..Rf5 22 Bf6. Tal thought that he could play for a win with 19..Qc4 20 Qxe7..Rg8 but realized that after 21 Nf4! White would have had the better chances. I have always loved these French Poisoned Pawn variations (Qg4 and Qxg7) - they always lead to exciting, double edged games like this one. |

| Feb-27-22 | | jerseybob: <keypusher: <Howard: Soltis called this draw one of the most "overrated" games in history, and, frankly, he's right. It was a good game, but not worth all the hype in my view.> This game was hyped not just on its chessic merits but also the Cold War subtext. The game can't be pried away from that. (And as we're seeing in Ukraine, what helped to drive the CW is still very much alive.) Soltis may mean that we've seen Fischer's games so much since his career ended that we're a little blase to them, and the faults start sticking out more. If that's what he's saying, I agree. |

Just in case it's not clear, I was disagreeing with Howard's claim that the game was overhyped. That's why I wrote: <Games are rarely evaluated independently of the circumstances in which they were played.> Fischer vs Tal, 1960 (kibitz #186) and
<Tal and Fischer both included it in their best games collections. It's probably worth a fair amount of hype.> Fischer vs Tal, 1960 (kibitz #184) |

| Feb-27-22 | | SChesshevsky: "Overrated"? Not quite sure what that means. Don't think anyone declared it was the most accurate but plenty of reasons it's of great interest and a great game: A current WC facing a young upcoming challenger. A challenger who really desires a victory over his opponent. Then the WC stares down the challenger using a battling defense that's not a usual part of his rep. And one that the challenger believes is unsound but has had difficulty proving. Then, as the game progresses, both players don't hold back their natural attacking instincts. With an inevitable dramatic shoot out. Guess it might be "overrated" in some way. But appears there isn't a whole lot more you could ask from a chess game. |

 | | Dionysius1: Looks like a good game to practice calculating the complicated sequence of captures. I was weak on that when I played. Great fun to follow it through here. |

Just in case it's not clear, I was disagreeing with Howard's claim that the game was overhyped. That's why I wrote:<Games are rarely evaluated independently of the circumstances in which they were played.> <kp> I see now I was merely repeating something you pointed out several years ago. The problem is, it was hidden several pages back in the file, and minimizing all those windows might explode my computer! |

| Feb-27-22 | | jerseybob: <roberts partner: The black dressed player peering over the board behind Fischer is actually Julius Szabo of Romania. Take it from me, I played Julius Szabo at that Olympiad in Leipzig 1960.> That's fascinating, and I love to read stories like that; you're a living link to the past, if you're still living, which I hope you are! Like <perfidious> I looked Julius Szabo up and found he has a file, at 365Chess. I also noticed he had an unfortunate predilection for the move Qd3(instead of Qd2) as white in the Richter-Rauzer. |

| | roberts partner: That 365Chess file doesn't include Julius Szabo's games at Leipzig, but those games can all be found on Olimpbase. |
|
| Feb-27-22 | | macer75: So when are these two playing each other again? |
|
| Feb-27-22 | | jerseybob: <roberts partner: That 365Chess file doesn't include Julius Szabo's games at Leipzig, but those games can all be found on Olimpbase.> Great! When there's time, I'll take out my Sherlock hat, shake off the rodent bits, and see if I can find your game. |

| Feb-26-23 | | tonsillolith: Drawbert J Fischer vs Mikhail Drawl |
|
| Apr-22-23 | | kereru: Classic game between two great fighters. Fischer always liked and respected Tal, despite being Soviet and Jewish. He was the only player to visit him in hospital in Curacao. |
