This is how I first went about it -- and I was not intending to. When studying a game out of a book using a board, I would play through the variation(s) in the notes, and then set the board back to the first move to go back through the game. After doing this with 2 or 3 side variations, I realized that I was committing the moves of the game to memory. So then I made it a point to do so intentionally and that is how I study games to this day.

by HernandoCortes 11 days ago

yes, you can memorize too his Candidates games vs. Taimanov, Larsen and Petrossian. He was in awesome form

Then maybe I will memorize the games from his WC match vs. Spassky. Last year I memorized the games from the Tal-Botvinnik 1960 WC match, and my OTB rating shot up 40+ points.

one of the drawbacks of memorizing Fischers M60MG is that he played his best by far after writing the book :-S

I'm blogging about my plan to memorize Fischer's 60 Memorable games, but in my first post I also include an endgame of mine that goes from R+P, to a pawn race, to Q+2P vs. Q: http://www.chess.com/blog/fischers60memorized/one-down-59-to-go

The activate rook would harass the king and keep the bishop off guard, while the king stood guard duty.
