Robert James Fischer, 1943-2008
Requiescat in pace, Bobby...
The game (see diagram) was taken from a large database of games, played in 1955 between Bobby Fischer who was only 12 years old and Ames. Although it ended in a draw, it showcased the brilliant mind of this boy. His 5. Bxf7+ was a good way of getting the pawn back and at the same time destroying his opponent's position. Black has the slight advantage (bishop pair) but perhaps out of respect (or fear) for the future grandmaster, draw was agreed.
