In first game, 8. ... dxe5???
In second game, 6. ...dxe5???
Other than that black played fine in both. (seriously, even without the blunder, black has quite a big positional disadvantage after moving the knight instead, in either game).
kinghadge, where is the evidence that the first game was ever played by Fischer? I have 28 examples in my unfiltered database, none of which involved Fischer, and I have never heard of such a game.
[Unsurprisingly, white did score 28/28, with black only playing on in 4 of the 28 games. 262 games reached the position after 8. e5!, so over 10% of players fell into the 2 move trap. White has had a chance to play 6. e5! 65 times in the Smith-Morra variant of the trap, and black has fallen into it 14 times, with half of players playing on. These games are not at a very high level ].
it was from my database; it said the game was played by fischer.
