| Apr-20-17 | | AlicesKnight: Compare Steinitz vs Von Bardeleben, 1895 or maybe Yanofsky vs A Dulanto, 1939 for the attacker threatened with mate throughout the final process - exactly calculated. |
|
| Apr-20-17 | | Pawn Slayer: Fischer may have been mentally unstable and hold extremely unpleasant views, but as a chess player, he was incomparable. In his prime, would he have beaten Kasparov or Carlsen in their primes? Probably not; though it's by no means impossible and with the advances in computer analysis to help, he would have been truly formidable. But he was so much further ahead of the field than anyone before or since. And that field included Spassky, Petrosian, Tal, Geller, Keres, Larsen, Portisch, Smyslov, Botvinnik, all of whom were superb players in their own right. That's why he deserves to be considered the greatest player of all time. |

| Apr-20-17 | | morfishine: The Schliemann's crazy enough, but against Fischer? Thats insane ***** |

 | | Phony Benoni: offramp> I suggested he "pun", and had something entirely different in mind. I was impressed with how Black's king and queen, after many wanderings, finally reunited far from home just before the end.. It is of course no pun at all, but just a joke. |

 | | HeMateMe: I wonder if the opening is the kind of stuff that Fischer used as a kid playing speed chess at clubs or in the parks, gambits where all of the lines are known in advance? You wouldn't play this in serious chess but it happens in blitz. Probably a lot of fun for the players, just pull out all of the stops. |

| Apr-20-17 | | Conrad93: Has anyone come close to breaking the 20 wins in a row? |
|
| Apr-20-17 | | Petrosianic: Steinitz had 25. |

 | | offramp: Fischer's record has been broken by Alexander Zelner. |
|

| | offramp: Here is what I think Fischer meant:
<[<Like most Grandmasters who keep up with opening theory>] I know this variation very well and because of that I was surprised at Matulovic's choice.> |
|
| Apr-20-17 | | morfishine: Regardless if this is Matulovic's "pet line", when you face Fischer, there really is no variation you where could find an advantage Your only hope is to play solidly, hope for a mistake by Fischer, and then hope that you see it ***** |
|
| Apr-20-17 | | morfishine: <Phony Benoni> That was pretty funny and fitting ***** |

| Apr-20-17 | | Jack Kerouac: <Pawn Slayer>
Insert B.F. into today's realm, at 20 years old, with computer help as they all use. Would still be a force. Instead of learning Russian to understand the best players,so much more info to use.
Maybe you could also say that about Alekhine... |
|
| Apr-21-17 | | RookFile: Fischer, Alekhine - those guys were motivated to say the least. Give them a computer like everybody else and they're right on top. An interesting guy to think about is Reshevsky. There was a guy who didn't know his openings but could calculate the daylights out of a position and was arguably the #1 rated player in the world for a time in the 1950's. A computer database could teach him openings too - such a player would also be very dangerous. |

 | | theagenbiteofinwit: Very interesting Fischer's use of time here.
Fischer notes that he might have had a faster win, but felt he didn't have time to calculate it. This is on move 24 with 3/5ths time left on his clock. |

 | | kingscrusher: 12.Bg5 seems like a fantastic novelty move and it does seem validated by the latest Stockfish as well Robert James Fischer - Milan Matulovic 1-0 11.1, Herceg Novi blitz 1970

Usually Ne5+ seems to be the move played.
Fischer's follow up later though seems to have an inaccuracy. Later 17.Rf1+ is inaccurate - Bb3 seems to be winning instead without any controversy. |

| Jan-07-23 | | ValWill: Did anyone else see for Move 12: N-K5+ (instead of White going QB-N5)? If White does this- following the Black Queen "shoo-off" in 11, Q-R6 (she's buried now)- White can uncover check with his earlier #3 Bishop move KB-N5; the Black King has only two options of either K-Q1, or step up K-K2- (If he tries the QB-Q2, KB-N5 is still covering and with the N-K5 still on D7 square! AND, removes the ability for Castling (albeit OBE by #15 on K-B2). White instead for #12 sent the Black Bishop up QB-N5, which would've been perfect for a supporting move-AFTER getting Black on the run with N-K5 ...just a thought... |
|
| Jan-07-23 | | ValWill: -follow-up, Black saw the Bishop and Knight possibility, and moved that Pawn up in #12, P-QR3, seeing all this, and begins the protect mode. White moves the Knight in and does the swap, with the BP standing solo- again- 16:...PxN (square E5). Here, 17, KR-B1+...Good..but for 18, White Queen taking that solo pawn commands the Board- and with a Check. Opens the door to take the Black KR, and Command the Back Row. Sending the KR up #19, R-KB7 can be a follow-up move- to the Queen's earlier moves. Granted, the final outcome came out great for White, but some earlier "finesse" could have prevented some 'chasing', and pinned the Black King to the back row (Q and R tandem)...Love these 5-minute games! |
|
| Jan-08-23 | | ValWill: Amazing! From Move 25 on, Black is sitting with a mate in hand. QR is on QB1, and Q is at KR7 (Black perspective, or H2)- If QxWhite BP (C2)- Mate. But the one rambling Check run by the White Queen doesn't give Black time to just end it. |
|
| Jan-08-23 | | ValWill: Amazing! From #25 QB7+ and on (16 moves total)- White had to maintain contact and check on the King to prevent that Black Queen from swooping down the line and mating (with the Rook covering in the rear)- Just one move wasted, and White would have lost. Brilliant! Just brilliant! Frustration to tears to be Black and staring at the win but couldn't do it- King was on the run. Crazy. Love it!!! |
