Which chess GUI is this? Thanks.

@AddedwithaQuestion He could but then all Fischer would have to do is move his pawn to a3 and that would stop the checkmate.

@patrickthebass a3 my bad

[Patrickthebass]

@addedwithaquestion white coulda just moved his pawn to a2

29:32 THAT MOVE FROM C8 TO d7 made me mad hahah

i'm fairly decent at the game but i am somewhat new.

couldnt black have moved his left side rook to a6, then next move checkmate? let me know, thanks

@BLOXaBLOXXER white's rook on f2 can go to a2, blocking the check

Don't know if anyone posted this yet because I don't want to go through pages and pages of comments...

I kinda think black moving his pawn to g4 was kind of a good move because not only does it solidify the double pawn structure but it also prevents the knight on g1 from doing much

mednis is so bad it fucking pissed me off

It almost seems to me that Fischer's retreating and passive playing was another way of him saying "I'm Bobby Fischer, and I'm better than you at Chess.  So here... have a few free tempos!" LOL.

f the people who accuse him of him doing so]
