| Jun-14-06 | | Marmot PFL: <Confuse> I was mistaken and killed message even before seeing your comment. I looked at 31.e7 Qxe7 32. Rh4 Qh7 and missed Rxf2?? Qb1+ (duh). Using computer however suggests instead of 32.Be4, 32.Qe3 and if Qg7 33.h3 and black has no mate threat while white still has extra pawn and can advance his queenside majority. I would say better for white or unclear, depending on what Fischer could come up with to strenghten attack. |

| Jun-14-06 | | RookFile: I'm reminded of the first game Kasparov lost to a computer. It had a similar feel to this one - Kasparov staked everything on a kingside attack, but the computer had enough resources. I wouldn't be surprised if it was true that objectively speaking, white had a pathway to advantage here. |

| Jun-15-06 | | Confuse: <Marmot PFL>, thanks for your response. I killed my message shortly after when I thought you killed your message, but again I'm glad for your response. Its more clear to me now why fischer's victory here is unsure. |

| May-09-08 | | CharlesSullivan: One of Fischer's biggest blunders was 34...♘d2?? <34...♖g6! wins> but Doda failed to find 36.♕e3!! For example: ♕a1+ <If 36...♘xc4 37.bxc4 ♖e8 38.♖hf5 ♖gxe6 39.♖f8+ ♖xf8 40.♖xf8+ ♕xf8 41.♕xe6 and White is a piece ahead> <Or 36...d5 37.♖xd2 ♖xe6 38.♕g1! dxc4 39.bxc4 ♖ge8 40.♗f1 ♕c3 41.♕d4+ ♕xd4 42.♖xd4 wins> 37.♖f1 ♘xf1 38.♖xh6+ ♔g7 39.♖xg6+ ♔xg6 40.♗e4+ ♔f6 41.♕f4+ ♔xe6 42.♗d5+ ♔d7 43.♕f7+ ♔d8 44.♕xg8+ ♔c7 45.♕g1! and White has a winning position. |

| Jun-27-12 | | Anderssen99: CharlesSullivan, 34...,Qg6 is even stronger as the following variation shows: 35.e7,Ne1. 36.e8=Q,Rxe8. 37.Bd5 (So that the rook cannot return to (g8)), Nc2!!. 38.Rh4,Re1. 39.Qc8+,Kh7. 40.Qd7+,Rf7!! (The point. If now: 41.Qxf7+,Qxf7 and the Rf1 is hanging). 41.Qh3,Qg1+!! mates. |

 | | kbob: So in summary white had a legitimate advantage until 32. Be4? [Qe3!]. Fischer blundered the resulting win with 34... Nd2?? [Qg6!,Rg6!] and white threw away the final crush on his last move of the game 36. Rhf5?? [Qe3!]. Also, it could have been time pressure. |

 | | kingscrusher: To me Fischer's play is far too optimistic and he realised it soon after 10...d6 instead of playing 10...d5. The issue it seems, which makes Fischer look like an 80's computer for part of this game with moves like e4 and then giving up the dark squared bishop with a seemingly large vacuum of weaknesses around his own king, is that White if given time was going to play Ba3 and c5 targeting the weak d6 pawn. As an example, say Black had played 12..f5 then White has 13.Ba3 a6 (to stop Nb5) 14.c5 Bd7 Na4 with clear advantage to White) Perhaps Fischer factored in the strength of the opponent when playing like this though so it was a considered "bet" to play 10..d6 instead of the more solid 10..d5 |

 | | perfidious: Had Fischer played the far more common, and drawish, 10....d5, there would be likely be no comments on this game whatever. |

| | kingscrusher: <perfidious> Yes coming to think of it, it is difficult to imagine playing for a K-side attack if d5 had been played. It shows perhaps that Fischer is willing to accept structural defects even backward pawns like d6 to maximise complexity and show his great tactical skills and attacking skills. |
