Another great game from Fischer - this time he refutes a prepared variation playing against the legendary Paul Keres.

  • At 9.10, when black is playing d5, why not fxe7 instead of Bxd5?

  • Yes it looks good - my feeling is that black would be solid after that and white wants open lines to the black king. Btw: did you used to play on Chesspark? My username there was Destrudo.

    You are kinda douching Keres and praising Fischer. Keres beat Alekhine when he was 21 and Euwe when he was 22. So he kinda was a talent and necessarily didn't need help from Soviet masters, cause he was over many of them. I think that Soviet masters didn't take 16 year old Fischer seriously enough to make some serious anti-Fischer tactics their primarily objective. Keres aslo won Fischer for about 3 times when he was much older than he was here.

  • Keres might be one of the strongest attacking players ever.

  • Great idea by Keres, I like his play in this game losing or not. Its fun to watch.

  • I disagree with the psychological element and would argue that it was actually just as much on Fishcher's side as it was his opponent's side. If you are playing someone who is considered a prodigy, that tends to have a weighty effect on how you identify with yourself, it would seem.

  • @xox0808 I think Bxd5 is a much stronger move, eyeing to open the king file. Capturing Bishop on d5 would be very weak for black, because Re1 is just devastating. if black does not capture, which is the correct way to play, they will also lose the bishop or rook. And then there is also knight to d5, which is way too strong after rook is moved to the open or semi open file. I think Bxd5 is a strong gm move.

  • slovenija, i am slovenian :>

  • Too much talk. Kind of annoying
