|
LawrenceT: Well said tjshann!! Maybe Fischer's best move was getting out of the game when he did!! I think one of the many reasons some people revere Bobby Fischer is because they never saw him lose his talent over the board--he peaked, disappeared, and took his throne with him!! Personally,

| |
|
LawrenceT: Larsen's basic problem was that he was playing Fischer!! No offense to Larsen, but Fischer was playing out of his mind in the early seventies!!
