 | | alexmagnus: <arpad elo did not invented the rating system or uscf rating system , it was created by kenneth harkness .> So can we call this game a matchup of fake inventors? ;) Elo didn't invent the Elo system while Fischer didn't invent "Fischer clock". |

| Mar-04-12 | | screwdriver: Nice to see both great players played at the Northwestern tournament in Milwaukee. |
|
| Jun-25-12 | | hottyboy90: So if 42.Bb7 can't Black just play Bb5 and thus maneuver his bishop to attack the e4 pawn?? |
|
| Jun-25-12 | | Chess Magician: After 42..Kd4 there was a zugzwang sort of position for white, Elo should resign at that point. |
|
| Jun-29-12 | | hottyboy90: Chess Magician,if 42.Bb7 black can't play Kd4. |
|
| Jun-29-12 | | hottyboy90: I realize you were referring to the actual game and not the possibilities within. |
|
| Jul-01-13 | | BKITU: Elo, goodbye. |

And who the hell is Kenneth Harkness ? lol
I must admit the 'elo rating' sounds much better the the 'harkness rating' ... Anyways .... One things' for certain... There's nothin 'fake' about Bobby's chess. |

| Mar-27-14 | | thegoodanarchist: <RookFile: I've thought about that too, Capa....
you got a smile from me.
I think Elo was pretty good, like 2200 or something.> That seems low for a player who won his state championship multiple times. |

 | | GrahamClayton: Jonathan Speelman analyses this game extensively in his book "Endgame Preparation", and states that White lost because he didn't give up material until he was in a worse position. As mentioned in some of the kibitzing, the drawing idea is to advance the c-pawn to draw away the Black king, in order to: a) getting his bishop to f5 while keeping the Black king out of e3, or
b) getting his own king to e3.
Instead of 46. ♔g3, 46. ♗b7 ♔xc4 47. ♗c8 ♔d4 48. ♗f5 draws, one line being 48...g4 49. ♔g3 ♔e3 50. ♗g6 ♗e2 51. ♗h7 ♗f3 52. ♗f5. |

| Sep-13-14 | | Bobby Spassky: Arpad Elo did invent the rating system we have now. Harkness created a hack job which Elo replaced with a system based on reality. "Arpad Elo was a master-level chess player and an active participant in the United States Chess Federation (USCF) from its founding in 1939.[3] The USCF used a numerical ratings system, devised by Kenneth Harkness, to allow members to track their individual progress in terms other than tournament wins and losses. The Harkness system was reasonably fair, but in some circumstances gave rise to ratings which many observers considered inaccurate. On behalf of the USCF, Elo devised a new system with a more sound statistical basis." |

Thanks |

 | | chancho: <Esauwept> The e pawn will be captured by the combined action of Black King and Bishop. With King, Bishop, and two pawns vs a King and Bishop, Fischer would win in his sleep. |

 | | Sally Simpson: Hi Esauwept.
The White e-pawn is going to fall, it is the Bishop of same colour that is doing the damage. This is a win.
click for larger viewMove the Black Bishop one square and it's a draw.
click for larger viewHow are you going to get the King off g4 and the Bishop from covering f5. The method:
That is the annoying thing about good players games, they tend to resign too early and leave us asking questions. So we let our peers guide us. Two instructive games should help. http://www.redhotpawn.com/chess/che... Go to move 53 and play on.
That should give you an idea of how to go about winning this. (I had another ready but posted the wrong link. I'll find another.) |

| Nov-20-16 | | rea: <em> um El what were you thinking, oh playing Fisher must have meant the end for you.</em> Fischer wasn't famous at the time--he was just 14, and wouldn't win the US Championship or become a GM until the next year. |

 | | kingscrusher: Wow Fischer played against the guy who invented the Elo rating system who wasn't a bad player himself :) |
|
| Feb-27-21 | | sudoplatov: Today, two players I played against were in the discussion. I drew a game against Elo and lost to Martz. (I knew Martz as he was at Wisconsin when I went there; I never beat him in offhand play either.) |
