| Jul-30-04 | | Knight13: Good game. |

| Nov-20-04 | | drukenknight: it looks to me, when benko pushes 52...g2 Fischer is smart enuf to blockade the passer, but then look at the situation, Benko's K is outside the "box." (the box bisected by a4-e8 diagonal). To get his K back into the box, black needs to give check with the R and put the white K into some sort of decision, but he delays this and his K never gets back into the box in order to blockade. This is a first impression, so.. |

| Jun-19-05 | | Knight13: Good endgame play by Fischer. I love it. It'll be a good game to study Rook and Pawn endings. |
|
| Jun-19-05 | | aw1988: For rook and pawn endings the best games to study are (well, Fischer is pretty good, but...) Capablanca and Rubinstein. |
|
| Feb-06-06 | | MorphyMatt: 52. Rd7+? I'm terribly sorry, but 52. Rxh6 doesn't win????? |
|
| Mar-22-06 | | chesscrazy: <MorphyMatt> 52. Rxh6 doesn't win because the g-pawn would be able to queen. (52. Rxh6?? g2! 53. ____ g1=Q) |
|
| Apr-03-06 | | ycensor: I guess I need to study my endgames
again. I don't quite see the trick
if Black just plays 56...Rxa6. It looks to me that 57 Rxg2 Kd7 would
then draw by getting the King close
enough ( and 58 Rg7+ Kc8!): 58 Rc2 Ra8 or 58 Kb5 Ra8! =. |
|
| Apr-03-06 | | outplayer: <ycensor> I think your commentary is interesting because I have thought that Black could have taken the pawn with 56...Ra6 57.Rg2 Kd7?! (57...Ra8!?  ) 58.Rg7+ Kc8 but what should Black do after 59.Kc5? |
|
| Jun-11-07 | | Peter Nemenyi: A rare case in which Fischer tries the Richter-Rauzer (6. Bg5) against the Sicilian instead of his famous 6. Bc4. I believe Fischer vs J Bennett, 1957 was his only other R-R before the two in his 1972 match with Spassky, although I'm using a pre-Net source which may be incomplete. |

| Mar-14-09 | | WhiteRook48: funny position |
|
| Sep-26-15 | | SpiritedReposte: Pitching the pawn with 56. a6 would not have occurred to me. |
|
| Jun-18-18 | | Omnipotent00001: White mates in 43 with 47. b4 g5 48. b5 g4 and so on. |
|
| Nov-11-19 | | pepechuy: The decisive mistake is 56... Rb6. Black can draw with 56... Ra6.
If 57. Rg7 Kd7 58. Rg7 Kc8 59. Kc5, Black has several moves that draw, but I think the simplest one is 59... Kb8. <outplayer> |
|
| Nov-12-19 | | WorstPlayerEver: 23... Nxf1 24. Rexf1 d4=

|
| Jul-16-20 | | pepechuy: Fischer missed a win with 47. b4! (instead of 47. Kb4, which draws). |
|

 | | HeMateMe: Benko was able to get the Queens off the board and survive the middlegame attack, but goes into a lost endgame. |

 | | kingscrusher: Wow this game seems a good reason to really study rook and pawn endgames as a priority. Black just blew it at the end - 56 ..Rxa6 seems to be holding draw. |
