  Benzol: It isn't in Lou Hays book of Fischer's games. I'm wondering if it is authentic?
May-25-14  jerseybob: Benzol: I'm sure there's a number of unknown Fischer games out there beside the missing ones we do know about, like the Matulovic match, his blitz game with Soltis, etc. The name "Auner" sounds German, so I'm guessing this was played during or after the Leipzig Olympiad.
Dec-23-19  gambitfan: A dubious game.

At least one of the players should be high level. But it is not sufficient.

The opponent should be of minimum level.

This game should be removed from the data base.

  kingscrusher: <gambitfan> Completely and utterly disagree- there is a lot to learn from games even when the two opponents are not matched well in strength.

My major grounds from my current research into the Smith-Morra Gambit is that there is some common knowledge of a rush to play c4 to get a Maroczy bind structure. Fischer is realising the upsides of the pawn left on c3 which include:

1) Blunting a fianchetto on the a1-h8 diagonal
2) Being able to use c4 for a knight

This is also the approach of World top 10 player in 2021 Alireza Firouzja when using the Smith-Morra gambit in extremely fast time controls. Only when black has committed to an early e6 is c4 really effective in my view.

Fischer by the evidence of this game is ridiculously aware of positional nuances and tiny upsides by the fact he kept the pawn on c3, and relishes the use of the c4 square.

  jnpope: <kingscrusher> I think part of the issue is verifying the authenticity of the game itself. Did you find this game in a chess publication or newspaper? Or was it "found" floating around the 'net in some database (the easiest way to introduce spurious games). And if the game comes from a database was it given as just Fischer-Auner or did it specifically say it was Robert James Fischer?

If it is an authentic RJ Fischer game then there should be no problem keeping it (or any game played against any opponent by anyone who held the World Championship title; all such games are historically important).

Nov-05-21  Z truth 000000001: Agree with Benzol...

Fischer being so famous demands sourcing for all "newly" discovered games, even if "new" means circa 2004.

(And beware circular sourcing, i.e. any publication that includes this game because it was found on <CG>)

.

Nov-05-21  Z truth 000000001: At the very least we need the location and kind of game (simul, blitz, etc)

  kingscrusher: On a Google search, I found this page:

https://lichess.org/study/kbP6os8Z

which seems to indicate it was played in Germany

Also his video indicates Germany by Matojelic:
https://vimeo.com/150077305

It would be a shame if it wasn't real because there are Youtube videos about it, and websites using it like:

https://www.thechesswebsite.com/smi...

Nov-06-21  Z truth 000000001: There should be a reliable source if it were a real Fischer game, where is it?

Knowing it was from Germany should help in the search... but the question still remains.

It is real.

There are idiots out there who still don't believe in the Moon landings or that Elvis died.

It is real.

  MissScarlett: <Hazz>, if it's a genuine Bobby game I'll play you for the <cg.com> title myself. That's how confident I am.
Nov-06-21  Z truth 000000001: Ha ha, funny. Now I really do hope it's real.

  MissScarlett: Look at all the gid's surrounding it, and they're all pretty much random games from the late 1950s and early 60s. Where this collection originally comes from is anyone's guess, but I put the chance of it being a genuine Fischer game as vanishingly small.
Nov-06-21  Z truth 000000001: (Why do I get the feeling that somewhere out there Esserman is also having a good laff!?)

  GrahamClayton: Could this game be part of Fischer's 20 board simultaneous exhibition at Rikers Island Prison?
