Aug-30-04  wall: Why 11.O-O-O when 11.Bxf6 wins a piece. 44.c7 forces 44...Rxc7 45.Ne8+ Ke6 46.Nxc7+.
Aug-23-05  gomickeylol: h4 seems like a mistake, white should do what he can to keep his queen so the lady can control g7
Nov-25-07  amuralid: Something wrong here. 11. Bf6 wins a piece.

  Eggman: Strange score. I can't figure out what the real moves must have been, but indeed, 11.Bxf6 is a piece for free. Yet the move order above is what is given in a couple of sources that I can find. A mystery.
Nov-25-07  Ziggurat: <Eggman> A tongue-in-cheek theory: maybe what was actually played was 10...0-0 11. 0-0-0 Bd7, and the players failed to notice that 11. 0-0-0 is illegal. When they (or someone else) discovered this after the game, they switched the moves to make the scores legal :-)
Nov-25-07  RandomVisitor: 6...dxe5 was Black's last chance to stay in the game.

  Eggman: <Ziggurat> I was thinking the same thing, tongue-in-cheekly, as it were.

The opening here is similar to K Spraggett vs Doug Boileau, 1973, where black resigned after just six moves.

Oct-19-08  mrriddler: Hmm, a book of mine had the exact same setup as of 6... dxe5. It's an Evans-Joyner matchup (Canadian Open 1956). Joyner committed the same error in using his knight (Nxe5).
Oct-20-08  AnalyzeThis: I made a mistake similar to this as black once. Got a miserable position, a pawn down, but somehow managed to draw the game.
Jul-16-09  TheFocus: Opponent's name is Julius.
Nov-08-09  tentsewang: Its just amazing that fisher during his young age was playing a pro chess player. if the rook were to take the pawn which is one step from promotion, the knight would just drop a thundering fork check. Just Brilliant!

  perfidious: <TheFocus: Opponent's name is Julius.>

This is correct-even Wade et al in their early 1970s collection gave Julius as Black's forename, as I'm sure <TheFocus> well knows.
