It 's good enough to draw against Fischer.
Indeed, although Fischer could play either 8.Nc3 Qxc2 9.Qd4 Nc6 10.Qe3+ Nge7 11.0-0 winning (Bobby probably missed in a simul game that he is threatening Ne1 when the Queen is trapped), or 8.0-0 Qxc2 9.Qe1 with one hundred nasty threats.

Come on, U can still come and preach to all chess ignorants here.
Anyway, I wish U a quick recovery.
Why is it a thing? Can black actually hope for any counterplay? Doesn't it just blunder a pawn?
