| Nov-21-13 | | Petrosianic: <Dear Duplex.Fischer had a rating 2730 in 1961> There were actually no FIDE ratings until 1970. |
|
| Feb-17-14 | | mrbasso: Tal clearly botched up with the wrong move order here. He intended to play 6...a6 7.Bg2 Nf6 and played 6...Nf6. Happened to almost all lifelong tournament chess players in the World at least once. It was a very unfortunate moment to happen but he went on to win the tournament regardless. Tal probably didn't play 8...e5! because it leads to a Sveshnikov type position. In 1961 the later called Sveshnikov Sicilian was widely regarded dubious.
After move 8 Tal didn't have the slightest chance to save the game IMHO. |

 | | perfidious: It was left to the intrepid Igor Ivanov to revive 8....e5, which had already seen its debut in B Kostic vs O Nedeljkovic, 1938. What has long baffled me is Ivanov's willingness to enter this mess, as he allowed 7.Ndb5 twice in 1989. |
|
| Mar-02-15 | | Clodhopper: <Tal was a tough player. Here he absent mindedly makes a known opening mistake, but doesn't go down until move 47.> Anybody but Tal could have resigned with good conscience after 25 bXh7 |

| Mar-02-15 | | detritus: Doesn't the 37
Qxg3, 38. Rh1 Qg7 line lose immediately to the direct capture 39. Rxg7? |
|
| Mar-02-15 | | Sally Simpson: You are correct Detitus.
These errors happen when the lads don't add a diagram to their preview screen. 
click for larger viewIf 37...Qxg3 38.Rh1 makes it a simple win.
(We can now see at a glance that 38...Qg7 is silly.)
38...Qe5 Rh8+ and Rc8+ or 38...Qxc7 Rh8+ and Rh7+ is a book King and Pawn win which Fischer would have played perfectly. Me on the other hand would have balls it up, got to here with White to move...

| Feb-04-16 | | antonioaguilar: What about at move 20, after Kb1, instead of playing the passive Ra6 Tal didn't played Qa5!!. I don't see a mate in 1 for white, and well, maybe white would defend with b3 opening his queen's diagonal, but Qa5 in my opinion is the best defense for black. "The best defense is to attack"

|
| Jul-28-16 | | The Kings Domain: Highly impressive victory by the adolescent Fischer. His precise, aggressive play kept Tal on the defensive all throughout the game. It's strange to see The Magician fending off attack after attack when he's usually the propagator of such a style. |
|
| Jan-07-17 | | The Boomerang: "Remember her was 18 years old when he played this, neither KARPOV nor KASPAROV have reached this level of maturity at this age.." Well Carlsen did....hit 2800 if Im not mistaken. |
|
| Apr-26-17 | | Mithrain: Great game by Fischer even though Tal didn't play his best game whatsoever. Nevertheless, the magician did win the tournament!! Moreover, the line you were commenting 20. Kb1 Qa5 21. b3! is a good example of how powerful the Queen is as she's attacking the Black's king while defending his own king from mate! |
|
| May-12-18 | | The Boomerang: "Remember her was 18 years old when he played this, neither KARPOV nor KASPAROV have reached this level of maturity at this age.." And yet he won the championship at 29, Kasparov at 22.....go figure... |

 | | Clement Fraud: I feel certain that 14.Ne4 wins for white immediately. There are many variations that might arise from 14.Ne4, suffice it to say that the move creates some deadly tactical threats that black cannot defend against. 14.Ne4: Since the immediate threat is 15.fxg7 Rg8 16.Nf6+, then black would be forced into playing 14... Bf8; but after 15.Qd4 g6 black's position is one of passive defense (and close to resignable). |

 | | Scuvy: This is my favorite Fischer game. I have replayed it dozens of times but never tire of seeing him take down the "Magician of Riga" for the first time in his career. And typical of Fischer's objectivity, even of his wins, is how his comment begins after 21 B:b5 in MSMG: "I was so intent on snatching material and not botching this one that I missed...." and gives a quicker win. And indeed, he did not botch it; he captured all of Tal's pieces but the Queen and induced Tal's surrender by threatening to capture her, too! |

 | | Messiah: How did I not know this game? Unbelievable. This game is amazing. |
|
| Jun-28-19 | | chessrookstwo: GREAT GAME ... |
|
| Sep-22-19 | | nunciusaustralis: Itīs funny that Fischer said (in the candidates 1959) that the Soviet players were afraid to play the Sicilian because of Bc4. Then he lost 2 games on this line against Tal. |
