This game was played in New York 1956. 8th round. Gruenfeld Defense D97. Many years after the completin of this game, Fischer would recall it as one of the best of his entire career!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope some of you found this game instructive. I know it help me a lot in the way of trying not to blindly assign numerical value to pieces. Much better to simply read the needs of the position.
