Playing Bobby Fischer
Sort:
Poor you. Was it a deliberate decision to play the Najdorf, the variation that was Fischer's own favourite from the Black side ?
No, I knew very little about openings at the time. I knew I was playing a Sicilian Defense. I think that was what made Fischer look so fierce. In a simul you make your move when the player, stops in front of your board. I made the move and looked up at him that may have seemed an "in your face" move to him.
cool, love the part about the pure hatred

-- what amazes me is that at the end of the game there are four major pieces out and the other side has no major pieces out - Bobby Fischer mind must have been something else - like he must have been a walking chess computer
Five bucks to play Bobby. Man, those were the days. Great story, thanks!
It took him about 2 minutes to make the rounds, and there were 49 players?! I guess it would have still been the opening though, and he was just playing by memory.
