Kibitzer's Corner
Feb-21-11  AnalyzeThis: The opening approach by Reshevsky is really intelligent, I believe. He sets up a situation where he's either going to win or the game is going to be a draw. Fischer shows his greatness by making draws in games like this anyway.
Feb-21-11  parisattack: Sammy was already perhaps 5-10 years past his prime here... In the early 50s he could reasonably have claimed to be the strongest player in the world, if not the WC.

  HeMateMe: Fischer misses the win by one tempo.
Jul-16-13  RookFile: Oh, is that all. One tempo is a lot.
