  keypusher: If Fischer had been a day or two older he probably would have had the patience to play 28....Qc5, threatening both ...e2+ and ...Qf5.

  FSR: ...Qd5 would have been another crushing threat. 28...e2+?, while of course winning (being a queen up obviates the need for precise moves), was a strange choice.

  HeMateMe: white was probably waiting for the bus or his mom to pick him up, had a little time to kill.

  FSR: I expect Fischer was peeved that his opponent was playing on a queen down, and so decided to show off a little by ignoring his opponent's threat to take his queen.

Lasker vs J Bauer, 1889
