A queen sac, an 8 move forced mate and black’s king ends up on g1!!!

Here is Fischer’s game of the century,

However, do you agree that

http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1008419

is far more brilliant? Who was that grandmaster that said Fischer had lost and then immediately Byrne resigned?
