There must be something wrong with the system. The date on the game should read today's date, 03/18/2017. I know I typed it in correctly. But I guess it's not that big of a deal.

I am all Velimirovic about such things. Fischer kept going with Bb3, O-O, f4 ( too slow )

You should castle queenside before moving the king's bishop if you have played 6. Bg5 is a rough rule while pondering the ... d6 and ... Nc6 stuff.
If black plays Nbd7 and early a6 with e6 it is only then that you can get both Bc4 and Bg5 due to the Bxe6, Nxe6, Nxg7.
Essentially you have "cherry-picked" between the Sozin (7. 8.) and Richter-Rouzer (6. 9.) and black ripped your head off for that on move 9.
Fischer just would not listen to Velimirovic who told him, if you want to play Bc4 then follow that with Be3, Qe2 and O-O-O. Fischer kept running into better and better prepared Soviet lines.
A lot of players have the vague idea that the Sozin (6. Bc4) is bust due to that, it is not: The Fischer-Sozin ( Bb3, O-O) is bust but the Velimirovic Attack remains potent.
This is my 3rd, and final, round game of the Evanston 3x3 tournament. This was my only loss. I finally got the white pieces this round, and we played a very interesting Classical Sicilian game. Any analysis or advice would be greatly appreciated.
It was a pretty good tournament for me. I finished with 2 out of 3, and my rating went up from 1739 to 1745.
