Dec-02-07  D4n: What is the full line of the Polish Opening: Tartakower Gambit?
Jan-20-09  WhiteRook48: This was the Fischer Gambit? I thought it was the Tartakower Gambit. Or did CG list the opening wrong because this is the first time I've ever seen it.

  HeMateMe: The daily puns are getting better. There may yet be hope for this site.
Oct-29-18  mravikiran: "To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone" last lines from Star Trek opening narration before the title theme...

"These are the voyagers of the star ship enterprise.......To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone before....."

Oct-29-18  SeanAzarin: There have been plenty of awesome puns on this site. Here's one of my favorites.

  OrangeTulip: Apart from the pun the game is just dust in the wind. Mr. Gloger has one game in the database, so any analysis is a waste of time

  piltdown man: Why is analysis a waste of time if the guy has only one game? How does that make a difference?

  perfidious: There are some strong players who have few games here at CG, a result in large part of their careers being in the era before databases captured seemingly every game.

Girome Bono was such a player; had Fischer faced him in any game--with a grand total of two games here to Girome's credit--he would have gotten a run for his money.

  perfidious: <wtpy>, vastly amusing.

With regard to a certain poster given to much innuendo, many accusations made up of whole cloth and spraying gallons of oil of vitriol, more than once I have posted that line from <Star Trek> at Rogoff. Always got under his skin too. As they say: truth hurts, don't it?

  keypusher: Couple of practice pointers from SF: after 11.Nf5, I thought ...Kf8 was forced, but Black has 11....d5!. After 12.Bb3 (11.Nxg7+ Kg7 -+) 0-0 13.Nxe7+ Qxe7 14.Qxd5+ Kh8 he has managed to castle and is doing OK.

Fischer could have played 12.Bxf6 immediately. After 12.0-0?! Black could have tried ...Qd7, since 13.Bxf6 gxf6 14.Qh6+ Ke8 15.Ng7+ Kd8 16.Ne6+ Qxe6 nets three minor pieces for the queen. But if Fischer doesn't sacrifice Black is going to have a hell of a time getting developed.

Well, the video below, is a <perfect summary> of the state of affairs on virtually ALL online discussion boards:

Oct-29-18  savagerules: Rare instance of Fischer not playing 1 e4. He started mixing it up a little bit more after 1970 with a few 1 c4 and 1 b3.
Jul-17-19  Chesgambit: perfect
Mar-31-23  Gaito: Playing a simultaneous exhibition against 52 opponents must be very tiresome, and sure enough Bobby had to play very quickly on each board. In this game both players made a lot of mistakes and blunders, which is natural in such exhibitions. White can be excused because he presumably played very fast. But Black had a number of good opportunities to outplay Bobby Fischer and even beat him. Unfortunately, he didn't see the obvious moves that would have given Black a clear advantage. That is typical in simultaneous exhibitions: the master making mistakes, and the amateur failing to take advantage of those mistakes. Therefore, these games should perhaps not even be published.
Mar-31-23  Gaito: 3.e4?! is a weak move. Of course, Fischer knew it, but he was presumably sure that he could beat his opponent even with inferior opening moves. Maybe he could even have given his opponent odds of a knight or a rook.

Instead of 5...Ng6?, Black could have obtained a good game with 5...g6! 6.Qh4 d5!

BLACK TO MOVE

In this position Black played an automatic developing move 7...Nc6?, overlooking the fact that he could have obtained the better game after 7...Qe7!, attacking White's e4 pawn and preventing 8.O-O, on account of the reply 8...Qc5+ winning a piece.

As a matter of fact, here and during the following few moves, ...Qe7 was a move that begged to be played.

BLACK TO MOVE

In this position Black played 8...Bxc3? which is a premature exchange. Again, he should have played 8...Qe7!, for example: 9.O-O-O Bxc3 10.Bxc3 d6 11.d4 Bd7 12.Rhe1 O-O-O with an excellent position and a couple of pawns to the good for Black. (See diagram)

BLACK TO MOVE

11...Kf8??

This is tantamount to plunging into the water for fear of the rain!

Necessary was 11...d5!, and after 12.Bb3 O-O it is not clear how White could continue the attack.

Black should have remembered the old principle: "A flank attack is best met by a counter thrust in the center!"
