Jun-10-11		DrMAL: I had to quadruple check 30.Nc7? apparently Fischer had something else on his mind! Black did not realize his game had gone from losing twice earlier to totally winning (try Bd2 instead of Bb2 and look at Nc3)!

Jun-10-11		fab4: Yeah. Just looked at Bd2 and after Qd1 Black has Ne3 which seems to win. Saw your post on the Tukmakov/Fischer page.. is that true re Fischer's toilet break ect .. ?

Jun-10-11		DrMAL: I was just joking about the bathroom thing...he played moves 23-24 and 27-29 in some merely mortal way LOL.

Jun-10-11		fab4: Jeez I can be so naive lol

Jun-10-11		fab4: It's a simul tho.. and 30.Nc7 looks so natural and tempting! White wants to play a5, but can't due to the Kt on b5.. his queen is stuck on the back rank.. taking on d5 is suicide.. The white dark squared bishop is almost irrelevent.. so... what is the alternative to Nc7 ?! Maybe just Bc5.. is 29.. h6 a high class waiting move ?!

Jun-11-11		DrMAL: The reason for my bathroom joke is that white allows black to gain initiative, very unFischerlike! It's difficult for me to estimate black's rating (other than certainly amateur), as he starts playing better at this point as opposed to giving away two pawns a few moves earlier. 23...d4 is a good move because it allows the center to be opened, and white does so in a way to allow white initiative. The key inaccuracy here is 27.Nb5 that loses control of d5 square. Simply 27.b5 continues white's pawn advance. After 27...Qxd3 nabbing the pawn at b7 is a mistake because black now owns d5. Forcing a trade with 28.Be5 to dissipate any black attack or simply 28.Bd2 in anticipation of Nd5 is better here. It's a simultaneous exhibition and white is not at all taking the game seriously, it's more like a Rorschach test to him LOL. After 28...Nd5 black is down the a pair of connected passed pawns but its position is now very strong, compensating for this. Here, following through with 29.Nd6 seems best. 29.Bd6 is another mistake because now both the a1-h8 and c1-h6 diagonals are uncontrolled, the bishop should be on one of these two diagonals to better defend its king. 29...h6 is also a good move. At this point white's queen can still check black so h7 is a good spot for black's king. It also prepares a pawn advance with f5. Perhaps better is simply 29...h5 with a stronger pawn advance. Either way, white now needs to pay attention to the position and cannot merely go off advancing his pawns. A number of moves seem OK here but in reality none are really good, and 30.f4 is now forced. To go into why the others are not is a matter of calculation, so I suggest using a computer to make sure.

Jun-11-11		DrMAL: I stuck this on Rybka 4.1 and revisited after an hour for d=21 to be achieved after 30.f4 for grins. Not that it would have been played but it's interesting to see so what the hell LOL: [-1.96] d=21 30...Qf3 31.Bxd5 Qxd5 32.Kf2 Bg4 33.Kg1 Bd4+ 34.Nxd4 Qxd4+ 35.Kg2 Qxd6 36.Qe8+ Qf8 37.Qxf8+ Kxf8 38.a5 Ke7 39.a6 Bc8 40.a7 Bb7+ 41.Kf2 f6 42.Ke3 Kd6 43.Kd4 Kc6 44.Kc4 Kb6 45.Kd4 Kxa7 (0:53:07) 343525kN The best alternative at d=21 according to rather sage-like Rybka 30.Nc3 is evalutated -0.97 at d=21. Third ...Nb6 is given 0.00 a dead draw. Fischer had plenty of ways to at least draw and, based on earlier moves even exhibition style had he bothered to look a bit more carefully at this stage I am certain he would have pulled off an amazing Fischerlike crush. IMO Fischer's gift of raw tactical genius still remains unparalleled.
