This was Fischer/Reshevsky I believe.
Thinking Of Fishcer
Sort:
Often cited as an example of Reshevsky not keeping up with published theory. Fischer, of course, lived off reading the latest foreign language chess magazine.
Indeed. It was Fischer vs.Reshevsky.

Wow. Nice trap.

Not a bad game. Just some of my observations. More natural is 4. Nc3
8.f3 isn't needed in the accelerated dragon as the e-pawn isn't under any kind of threat as it is commonly in the dragon. simply 8.Bb3 is better as in Fischer-Reshevsky Us ch 1958 8...Na5 is a good move.
9.Bf7+?? This is the KEY DIFFERENCE between your game and Fischer- Reshevsky.The position is similar BUT NOT THE SAME. Don't play blindly without thought. Compare these two positions. 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 cd 4. Nd4 g6 5.Be3 Nf6 6. Nc3 Bg7 7. Bc4 0-0 8.Bb3! (not 8. f3? it is not needed). 8...Na5?? 9.e5! (here it is 9.e5 comes first! the key! Fischer doesn't have to fear 9...Nb3 10.ef Na1 11.fg as then white is winning. BUT compare it with your position before 9.Bf7+?? You have to fear 9...Nc4 after 9.e5? Nc4 10.ef Ne3! now with two interesting tries
a) 11.fg!? Nd1 12.gf=Q+ Qf8 13.Rd1 with a N and R for the Q (not enough though)-+
b) 11.Qe2 12. Bh6 fe 13. Qe7 and black is winning.
Of course better is 9...Kf7! now if 10. e5 Ng8! and black wins!
10...Ne8?? Allowing the Q to come off. He folded right over! the best move is 10...Nc4! as on 11. Ne6?? (better is 11. Bf2) 11...Qa5! leaves black winning. Better was 13...Be5 just grabbing the e pawn. 14. ed causes black more problems ex: 14...Nd6 15.Bd4 forcing off more pieces. No need to rush ahead the quiet 15. Qd2 is simplest and best.
Overall not a bad game. You played well.

thanks for your comment...yeah I understand that the position is not the same, and that e5 should have come first then b takes f7...This was a one min blitz game online so you must understand how I was able to make that mistake.

Nice trap indeed. How come Reshevsky didn't resign right away? By move 12 Fischer was already a piece up.
He didnt resign because he was probably embrassed ..he could have resigned by move 9
and maybe at move 10.
Tell me what you think of this game. Bobby fischer played this line against another famous grandmaster and won his queen! Enjoy
