On April 12 during this same simul tour, Fischer gave a 50 board exhibition at at the Knickerbocker Hotel in Hollywood. The event was sponsored by the Steiner Chess Club. Fischer He won 47, lost 1 and drew 2. The image below is from that event:
And here is Fischer's only loss in that event:
Allow me to add another game from that event--one of the two draws (vs A. Sacks):
According to Donaldson, Sacks missed a win with his 40th move, Kf8. Bxh4 is the move (not surprised he missed it); if 41. Kxh4 then Qh2+. If 41. R3g2, Bf2; or 41. R1g2, Qf1; 42. Kxh4, Qh1+. I would liked to have seen the look on Bobby's face when Sacks played 35.....Rc3. It's a shame there's no picture of that.

Well they both had their disadvantages... Sacks was, well playing Fischer. and Fischer was basically giving simul time-odds.
It's an interesting one to analyze as well.
Fischer's 14. Nxc5 has mind-blowing possibilities. Sillar's 15...Bxh1 looks like a mistake to me. f7xN seems better.
It did to me as well. fxe6 has the hidden bishop check problem, but I'm not sure why Qe5+ doesn't work to clear even the rook from the knight on the back rank if a person doesn't want to open the f file. Regardless, it was a really nice match. She really went after him. The rook capture did seem to take the wind out of her sails though. Again, nice article.
