| Apr-09-05 | | lopium: I think black were lost, but better was 29...hxg. Isn't it? |
|
| Apr-09-05 | | aw1988: hxg Bxc8 |
|
| Apr-09-05 | | lopium: But anyway, black could be less damaged by 31...Rxh7.
Then white force the exchange of his bishop for the knight... but still lost, 2 pawns less. |

| Apr-01-10 | | thegoodanarchist: Fischer's play was so logical and aesthetically pleasing that you look at his games and they make total sense, but you yourself can never seem to imitate them. |
|
| Oct-01-10 | | Damianx: Well said thegoodanarchist thats part of the genius that was Fisher |
|
| Oct-01-10 | | Damianx: i have Kasperov being interviewed & they asked him what he thought of the so called Super Gm,s 2700/2800 rating he said their all good players but there isn,t a Fisher in the lot |

 | | perfidious: <Damianx> I'm doing this strictly from memory, but after Buenos Aires 1971, Fischer was 2785, then there was a collection of players in the 2640-2675 range: Spassky, Larsen, Petrosian, Korchnoi, Karpov to name the ones I remember. In those days, if you were 2600+, you were considered a top-class GM. Even in the late 1970s, Karpov was just above 2700 and Korchnoi slightly below. The ratings have inflated a bit. That's how much stronger Fischer was than anyone when he called it a day. |

| Oct-02-10 | | jmactas: I once took chess lessons with Arthur Feuerstein. He obliterated me. I knew when he forced my knight to h1, it was over. It was quite humorous. |

| Apr-02-11 | | Lobster: This is called blitz, but I believe the tournament was played at 10 seconds a move or as 5-minute games. I'll try to check. |
|
| Apr-02-11 | | TheFocus: <Lobster> The Manhattan tournament was 5-minute. |
|
| Apr-12-11 | | Artemi: 1971 is Bobby's "monster" year....he played like a beast during that year....I really wonder if anyone can beat him in a match at that period ( any World Champion at different era )!!!! he's really the greatest ...maybe we can never see the likes of him...just look how he play those blitz games!!!! |
|
| Apr-12-11 | | M.D. Wilson: Pointless question. You can't compare players who never played against each other, let alone players from different eras. His blitz games from the period are extremely impressive. Who has a better collection? |
