 | | offramp: <LoFarkas: What's that annotation at move 36? A frickin' joke? Who wrote it?> Looks like one of A J Goldsby 's. |
|
| May-04-06 | | who: 11...Nc2 12.Nd5 Nxe1 13.Nxb6 Nxf3+ 14.Bxf3 Bxb6 15.hxg4 looks good for black |
|
| May-04-06 | | delterp: I don't understand why black was excited to get into a tactical struggle with Robert James Fischer.
Hello? Castle? |
|
| May-04-06 | | RookFile: Looks like a really complex game.
I wonder how bad 11.... h5 would be. Taking the knight with 12. hxg4 hxg4 could be dangerous for white. Maybe he would instead play 12. Na4. |

 | | keypusher: <LoFarkas> That is a Fritz comment. Some people leave fritz annotations in when they submit games. Wild game! |
|
| Jan-11-07 | | piroflip: a pleasure to play through,
but black should have given up a tad earlier, facing Bobby with pawns against pawns and knight!! |

| Jan-11-07 | | malthrope: <piroflip: a pleasure to play through, but black should have given up a tad earlier [...]> Hehehe... :-) This was against Sidney (we just called him 'Sid') and he told us later (the next night in Davis) smiling that he was just having a good time. Note: Bobby Fischer played four simuls in California in Hollywood (+47 -1 =2 // April 12th), San Francisco (+34 -4 =8 // April 13), Sacramento (+47 -2 =1 // April 15), and finally at Davis (+10 -0 =0 // April 16). We stacked the house against him at the famous Mechanics' Institute Chess Club (San Francisco). At the Sacto simul Bobby was crushing that night against 50 willing opponents. The next night I was there at Davis (CA) chess exhibition and he played against all 'Experts & Masters' that night (April 16) in a 10-board clock simul (all those games are given in our CG database). It was an impressive performance by Bobby (scoring a perfect 10-0 as mentioned above). BTW: It's all well covered in 'A Legend On the Road (Bobby Fischer's 1964 Simul Tour)' by my old chess friend IM John Donaldson (shameless book plug I know but it's a good account of Bobby's '64 U.S.A simul tour). ;-) - Mal |

| Dec-01-08 | | Helios727: In theory 4. dxc6 is an unsound pawn grab, but in practice it is hard for black to avoid falling into a disadvantage. |
|
| Dec-01-08 | | Travis Bickle: <malthrope> You actually witnessed 'The Maestro' in action wow fantastic!! I have that book you plugged, great book! In '64 Bobby played in Cicero, a suburb of Chicago which is about 20 minutes from my house, and back then I didnt even know it. ; 0
P.S. That simul shows a totally mentally healthy Robert James Fischer, because just a short year before Nov. 22 President John F. Kennedy was assinated. The older Fischer would never have participated after such an event happened, due to Bobby's extreme paranoia. Even The Beatles had fears of coming to America after Kennedy's killing.

 | | Eggman: Surprising that Fischer would go in for this unpopular line, and surprising that he would allow such a tactical struggle in a simul. Perhaps he enjoyed the challenge. I think he also enjoyed the opportunity to explore certain lines and see if the patzers might produce some interesting ideas. A game worthy of study, methinks. |
|
| Sep-15-09 | | wrap99: Is this Sid Rubin, Los Angeles player who was rated 2000+ in the 1970s? |
|
| Jan-14-11 | | Damianx: i wonder y Bobby never played 23 Nc6+ instead of Ng6+ then Nxd8 it keeps both minor pieces & traps the rook must of just been playing with him |

On 23. Nxc6+ Rxd6 is possible (because it is not a double check, unlike 23. Ng6++). |
|
| Mar-01-14 | | jasmin: How about 10. Na4? |
|

 | | SwitchingQuylthulg: Fischer missed a mate in 2 here...
click for larger view...with 22.Nh6+ gxh6 23.Rg1# - of course it made no difference in the end. |
|
| Dec-03-14 | | TheFocus: From a simul in Sacramento, California on April 15, 1964. Fischer scored +47=1-2. |
|
| Oct-20-16 | | Gottschalk: <who>
11...Nc2 12 Nd5 Bf2+ is better for B.
11...Nc2 12 Qd1 Na1 13 hg4 Bg4 14 Ne5 Be6
is a intersting gambit line. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Afternoon: Rubin put up a tough fight with an aggressive gambit and attack, but over time it has become clear that delaying ...Bc5 in favor of ...Bf5 or ...Qb6. Sometimes the opportunity to play ...Bb4 presents itself. Nonetheless, Black played with the right attitude for a simul. |

 | | K Any: Sid was a stalwart tournament player in LA for decades. Used to come by my West LA bookstore around closing so we could go somewhere and play blitz. This was in the 90s. |
|

| | An Englishman: Good Evening: Classic gaffe of mine--please insert "is better" after ...Qb6. Still dreading the day when I neglect to write "not." |
|

 | | HeMateMe: Fischer missed a mate in two! |
|

 | | MissScarlett: I picture Bobby sitting in his local Jewish deli munching a corned beef sandwich whilst reading the latest issue of 64. That's before he found out about the Satanic secret world government stuff. Still, a good sandwich is a good sandwich. |
|
| Jun-30-25 | | goodevans: I guess the other slice that completes the sandwich is Fischer vs S Rubin, 1964. A more straightforward win for Bobby and no missed mate-in-2. |
|
| Jun-30-25 | | Toxic Narcissist: I don't like that Black kept on playing a completely lost endgame, but I suppose it's not every day you get to play with Fischer. |
