@SeanBernardino if i remember correctly, donald was an IM and his brother robert was a GM..is that right ?
-
I just heard about this game on RadioLab. Really great being able to see this historic game played out. Thanks for the upload! :)
-
Ba3x could also mate
-
There were a couple moments in the game for black that he could have won faster. but thats just me.
-
yeah, i actually saw that right away, i just wanted to be sure of that. thanks
-
@michaelhays92 Actually he didn't even need to do Bxf3, Nxg5 is fine after Qb4 since the knight is pinned to protect the rook on d1.
-
@94LG I think after Nxa4, it should follow:
... Nxe4
Qb4 Bxf3
gxf3 Nxg5
and black is up in material and position.
The black Na4 was an attempt to take away the sole defender of the e4 pawn, and thus the e6 knight could take it while forking white's queen and bishop. While the bishop originally has 2 defenders, white is forced to move it's queen away, and finally the bishop taking the knight on f3 takes away the bishop's last defender. Clever trap, but Fischer is too smart.

Byrne was NOT a GM

@jjphysstud That's right. I stand corrected. Byrne was one of the leading American masters at the time of this game.

this is WRONG, after white's move Bc4, Bobby first responded Re8, then comes Bc5 followed by Nxc3

Thanks for pointing this out. I'll have to look into this (don't think I'm wrong though, but will confirm and get back). Can anyone else please verify the order of the moves also?

first 16 seconds is an annoying waste of time. Music is distracting too...
