| Jun-03-11 | | DrMAL: 32...Qxd4 was OK as was 33...Qa1
34...Ra3 was a blunder
34...Qa2 (only move) leads to an extra pawn for white, along with bishop versus knight, but probably a draw. e.g., 35.Nd7+ Kb7 36.Qd1 Qe2 37.Qc1 Ra2 38.Nxb6 Nxb6 39.Rxb6+ Kc8 |

| Nov-27-12 | | piroflip: Bobby misses the simple 26. Na4 here.
Of course he didn't have an engine like the rest of us. |

Black could have won a piece with 32...Qh3. White would have to take the f-pawn with 33. Qxf3 and then 33...bxc5. But then White plays the stultifying 34. Rb1+.

| Jul-24-17 | | thegoodanarchist: And of course this game obeys my rule of thumb for the French Defense: "In the French Defense, the first player to castle will lose the game. Unless his name is Magnus Carlsen" |

| | offramp: Fischer says that he thought the Winawer could be beaten positionally. But he always seems to be taken off piste and the game goes into a tactical mêlée. Fortunately he was almost always too strong a player to lose a French mêlée. |
|
| Jul-24-17 | | kevin86: White picks up a loose rook and wins the game. |
|
| Jul-24-17 | | Strelets: <offramp> He considered the Winawer French to be fundamentally unsound because Black either trades off or loses time retreating the good dark-squared bishop (its light-squared counterpart being a well-known source of trouble for Black in the French) and concedes space on the kingside. |

| Jul-24-17 | | RandomVisitor: After 30...Ra2 white emerges from the mess a pawn up, but the game is far from over:

| Feb-17-18 | | jaimenarin: Nice game by Bobby |
|
| Feb-17-18 | | RookFile: I thought Bisguier played a good game with interesting ideas. It's kind of like Marshall playing Capa. The champ wins but it's still a very interesting fight. |

 | | tpstar: White to Play and Win after 39 ... Qxc4.
Probably a time pressure blunder by Black right at the time control. |

 | | Sally Simpson: I know the first Russian G.M. Fischer beat was this game: Fischer vs Keres, 1959. But who the first actual holder of a G.M title that Fischer beat? Was it Fischer vs Bisguier, 1957. Bisguier was awarded the GM title in 1957. This game was played late in December 1957 |
|
| May-23-18 | | Howard: If I remember correctly, this game was one of about 20 that was annotated in Bobby Fischer's Chess Games. |

| | Sally Simpson: Hi Howard,
I have that book (somewhere) I was wondering if this was Bobby's first GM scalp. (cannot recall it saying so in the book.) |
|
| May-23-18 | | Howard: It did not say so in that book. |
|
May-24-18
| | Sally Simpson: Still not 100% sure if this was Bobby's first win v a holder of the G.M. title. Frank Brady in 'Endgame' says Fischer first GM scalp was Reshevsky vs Fischer, 1957 but that was a blindfold simul. Bisguier himself does a section on Bobby in 'The Games of Robert J. Fischer' by Wade & O'Connell but no mention of his potential place in chess history. (I suppose it is nothing to brag about - maybe he was still seething about: "Arthur Bisguier was originally proclaimed the winner, and was driving back to New York with the first place trophy before a recalculation gave the title to Fischer instead." 58th US Open (1957)) Soltis has 3 Fischer - Bisguier games but not this one so he has missed the chance to slip in the note 'this was Bobby's first win v a Grandmaster.' (if indeed that is the case.) Apart from the one thousand and one unqualified Fischer professors of psychoanalysis I know there are one or two genuine Fischer experts who frequent this site. Hopefully one can confirm or correct me. |

 | | harrylime: How old was Bobby when this game was played? |
|
May-24-18
| | Sally Simpson: Born in 1943 so he was 14. |

| May-31-18 | | jabinjikanza: Good show by fischer |
|
| Jan-08-23 | | ValWill: Howard- Yes, this game is referenced in his book: "Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess" (pp.127-128). Referring to Moves 33 and then 34 (answer, page 128). Questioning Move 34- Would you Capture Black's Queen (sitting in a1) with your Rook? He shuffled over 4 squares only with his Rook. -And you're right, he only mentioned that Bisguire was a former US Champ...no shade thrown. |

 | | FSR: Fischer and Bisguier had played twice before. In the 1956 Rosenwald tournament (famous for Fischer's "Game of the Century" against Donald Byrne), Bisguier had smashed Fischer with the Four Pawns Attack against Bobby's King's Indian. In the 1957 U.S. Open, Bisguier played 6.Be2 against Bobby's Najdorf, and they drew. But beginning with this game, Fischer simply owned Bisguier, scoring 13/13. https://www.chessgames.com/perl/che... |
