Jul-24-04		kevin86: Was Fischer's opponent getting the moves from his mother? lol!

Jul-29-04		Knight13: Ficher played this game well in an age like 12. Good game.

Aug-25-04		wall: Perhaps 8...a5 is not best (8...a6 or 8...h6). Why not 23.Rg5 instead of 23.Qc2 or 24.Nb5 instead of 24.Qg6 and Black can trade Queens. 17...f5 seems to open up Black's kingside too much.

Mar-04-06		mac17: This is a win for Fischer,,,better pawn structure,,,should have played on.....

Mar-05-06		RookFile: Fischer said he was always terrified of the Saemisch KID, even when a grandmaster. Maybe he was happy to get a draw in this particular game.

Jun-18-08		Throt: I don't understand 8...h6!? . Sorry for my stupidity, but what happens after white playing Bxh6?

Jun-18-08		sneaky pete: <Throt> The intention seems to be 8... h6 9.Bxh6 Nxe4 with ... Qh4+.

Jul-15-09		TheFocus: Many of Fischer's opponents do have their full names given. I will provide full names for all opponents. I have them all except for 16. The opponent here is Willam Whisler.

May-02-12		jackpawn: Think of all the unknowns that won or drew against Fischer around this time. Did any of them have a clue what he would turn into just a few years later? Why did he suddenly turn into a Chess God and they . . . didn't!

May-02-12		RookFile: In an odd sort of way, this game is actually similar to some of the games from the Spassky vs. Fischer match of 1992.

Oct-29-13		MrJafari: it seems a routine game...
