The Flash of a Mighty Surprise
Olafsson - Fischer
Olafsson - Fischer
Potoroz 1958
Queen's Gambit Declined
Chernev comments on this game:
"Bobby Fischer plays to win a Rook for his knight.
Picture his astonishment to discover that he has been lured into a deeply hidden trap.
In order to win the exchange, Fischer has had to weaken his king-side ever so slightly, and this weakness is exploited by Olafsson through a series of clever moves.
For a while it looks like Fischer will equalize, but Olafsson plays it in fine style"
Fisher's Revenge: One Year Later
Fridrik Olafsson vs Bobby Fischer
Zurich Candidates Tournament 1959
King's Indian, Petrosian System
This game is part of the Candidates Tournament played in 1959. Bobby Fischer was just 16 years old at the time. This should not be confused with the famous GM Bronstein book Zurich International Tournament as that book featured the games from 1953 not 1959.

Really nice thread! It's nice to see Master Games online cuz sometimes books and setting up board is not convineint so thank you!
Question;
Are the games not annotated in the book as well? Or did you just not transfer the annotations and comments to the thread?
It's great anyways
Cheers
