Robert James Fischer vs Bent Larsen
This was just a fun game that I found whilst researching and checking out the games of Bent Larsen. The game was played at the Palma de Mallorca Interzonal on November 20, 1970. The fifty-two move game with the Sicilian Defense: Fischer-Sozin Attack. Leonhardt Variation (B88) opening resulted in Fischer resigning and Larsen winning.
