Feb-13-04  Catfriend: Not always, <WMD>. Any movement, wether fundemtalistic or not, divides into separate tides.
Feb-13-04  WMD: Thank you, Bertrand Russell.
Feb-13-04  gilbertv: Sorry to interupt the debate on modern day theology here but why did Hamann resign?

  Sneaky: gilbert, after the rook moves, 33.d6 is crushing
Feb-13-04  ughaibu: I imagine it was because white has the threat to play Bc7 so the rook will have to leave the d-file after which the advance of the d-pawn will win at least a piece.
Feb-13-04  ughaibu: (On this occasion while I was writing my opus Sneaky explained everything in a few succint words.)

  tamar: In religious terms, the fundamental ♙ movement led by the fervent d pawn is attempting to become mainstream. (32... ♖f8 33. ♙d6 ♗e6 34. ♙d7)

  technical draw: In religious terms black lost because he was nervous because he was about to be hanged. Esther 7:10...
Feb-13-04  WMD: If Fischer was in Israel now, he'd be crucified. Look out for a biopic of Bobby's life directed by Mel Gibson.
Feb-13-04  gilbertv: Thanks Sneaky & ughaibu
Feb-13-04  capanegra: Here’s another very interesting game played by Fischer at his stay in Nathania: Fischer vs S Kagan, 1968
Feb-13-04  WMD: Here's Hans Ree writing about Fischer in his book The Human Comedy of Chess:

Petra Dautov's book is depressing to read for a chess player. Couldn't things have worked out differently with Fischer? Personally I got to know him at the Netanya tournament in Israel in 1968. Fischer was getting paid by an American organization of friends of Israel. We saw quite a bit of each other and I said to him that I had heard he used to be so anti-Semitic. Was that true? And if so, what was he doing there in Netanya? Fischer said that he had indeed been an anti-Semite, but that had been stupid. Furthermore, he said, he was half Jewish himself, so how could he be an anti-Semite? After the tournament we both went to spend a few days in the kibbutz of another player, Yakov Bernstein. There, Bobby hugged a horse and called it sweet names, and with me played a lot of blitz games, beating me every time. Those were the days.

Feb-13-04  capanegra: Interesting, WMD. Let me add that, strange as it may sound, this is not the first case of anti-Semitic Jews in human history, and probably nor the last.
Jul-08-09  Ulhumbrus: Hamann takes the exchange and gives Fischer the makings of a pawn steamroller in return, after which the steamroller wins.
Jul-07-10  Damianx: Just my opinion i think it was more anti USA & his belief that USA was run by the Jewish community telling him not to play a multi-million dollar match
Jul-07-10  MaxxLange: the pawn diamond wins, in the final position

amazing game

If you know you're going to be hanged it helps you concentrate. Depend on it Sir!

Jul-07-10  vonKrolock: <10.0-0> Of course this was not a <sic> novelty, but - curiously - they met (after some minor transposition) a game from a school event, played in the previous year, until the 14th move

Aug-01-13  Gallicrow: Here is a picture of this game, taken just before Black plays his fatal blunder: http://tinyurl.com/qg7hvng
Aug-01-13  Zonszein: Hello.
Bobby Fischer said: ".......there are too many Jews in chess......they seem to have taken away the class of the game..." etc etc......in...1962.... So, it seems that this didn't start with the following of that "sect" True, Bobby was too young...and lonely
Apr-27-14  sicilianhugefun: Fischer's 24. Kf2 is fantastic. Instead of capturing the Black pawn at e4 he let it stay there to serve as a shield from any counter-play by Black along the e-file. White's queenside pawns just swept over onwards.
Aug-01-14  thegoodanarchist: <MaxxLange: the pawn diamond wins, in the final position

amazing game>

Shine on, you crazy pawn diamond!

Aug-01-14  Garech: Great game, maybe the final position even makes it worthy of GOTD!
