Game of the Century Chess - Donald Byrne vs Bobby Fischer
This is a game analysis from a tournament held in New York City on October 17th, 1956. /
Bobby Fischer (13-years-old) played the Grunfeld (Gruenfeld) Defense opening against /
a strong master at the time, Donald Byrne. The game is now given the label, Game of the Century. /
The white king ends up getting trapped in the center of the board. Fischer spent the latter part /
of his life in Reykjavik, Iceland. This defense has been played by some of the world's best. /
(kasparov, fischer, carlsen, anand, kramnik)/
Such a brilliant game, such amazing commentary.
Thank you, I could hardly breathe during the game.
Superb commentary... what a pleasure to hear and watch.
I am inspired to up my mental game.//
I think that Bd6 would follow, attacking the queen and pinning the Knight.
/ To this, a natural follow up would be Qe8,
in order to protect the knight, which would fail to Nc6 and after Qc8, Bxe5+ would win.
