  • Spassky cant move Qb1 due to Bxa4. if white do Bxa4 then Ne2.

  • 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. Nf3 c5 5. e3 Nc6

    6. Bd3 Bxc3+ 7. bxc3 d6 8. e4 e5 9. d5 Ne7 10. Nh4 h6 11. f4 Ng6 12. Nxg6 fxg6

    13. fxe5 dxe5 14. Be3 b6 15. O-O O-O 16. a4 a5 17. Rb1 Bd7 18. Rb2 Rb8 19. Rbf2

    Qe7 20. Bc2 g5 21. Bd2 Qe8 22. Be1 Qg6 23. Qd3 Nh5 24. Rxf8+ Rxf8 25. Rxf8+

    Kxf8 26. Bd1 Nf4 27. Qc2 (27. Qb1 Bxa4 28. Bxa4 Ne2+) 27... Bxa4 *

    I don't understand the point of Ne2+ - it just seems to lose a piece here for nothing to play Bxa4 if White had played Qb1

  • That was epic.

  • For a normal player it is difficult so see, that after 13.fxe5 dxe5 the protected passpawn on d5 was not able to play any active or decisive role during the game and that the weakness on b6 could not be attacked by white. Bobby Fischer was the greatest chess player of all.

  • i cant find game 4.... waaaaaaaaaa

  • epic fischer.. he is just chess machine..

  • Great shame he never clashed with an in- form karpov to defend his title.We will never know what would have happened. Had they clashed, I think fischers continual seeking the initiative and active game plan could have unhinged karpov just as kasparov managed to do in later years.

  • thx for the upload. great game.

  • Game 4 was a draw.

  • cant find game 4 can someone give me the url or sumthing'?

  • Bobby Ficsher was an icon in chess world.. He died in Iceland in a very remote area... , only seven people attended his funeral!
