Fischer reverts to an opening variation he used to play when he was twelve years old. One wonders why he ever stopped.
This game shows why Bobby has been called "The greatest Champion that ever lived."
Thanks. I have a habit of missing the obvious.
@Fastaff
White can respond with Bxa8 which would be no good
Why did black move 23... Rad8?
What are some of the reasons black did not move Nxf4?
Masterful!

Its a great attack by ficher but wouldn't 21. f6 be stronger because the only way not be mated is by 21...Nxf6 (or Qxf6 which loses the queen) which leaves ficher a rook up for 2 pawns after 22. exf6, Qxf6 23. Bxa8, Rxa8.
Fischer signature game!!!
i look on the two strong bishops bishops...thanks for the post....
this is a brilliant game...
Another clever attack by Fischer, thanks for the post. Spellcheck.
Very nice game. Thank you!
A giant played this game. After 28.Rad1 I counted the activity of pieces. (by the Maróczy teaching). White could move for 42 fields, Black could move for 43 fields. Accordingly this wasn't deciding. But the opening of e5-h8 diagonal (29.f7) suddenly settled the game.
