Fischer's MOST BRUTAL KNIGHT FORKFISCHER EVER PLAYED VS Reshevsky in the Legendary 1961

Fischer's MOST BRUTAL KNIGHT FORKFISCHER EVER PLAYED VS Reshevsky in the Legendary 1961 ---- This iconic chess game from August 10, 1961, was the 11th round of the highly contentious match between Samuel Reshevsky (White) and Robert James "Bobby" Fischer (Black), held in Los Angeles, California. The match, sponsored by Jacqueline Piatigorsky, was planned for 16 games but ended prematurely after this draw due to scheduling disputes over Reshevsky's Sabbath observance, leading Fischer to forfeit the remaining games. The game opened with the King's Indian Defense (ECO E98), a favorite of Fischer's, where Reshevsky opted for a solid setup with 1.c4 Nf6 2.d4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 O-O 5.Be2 d6 6.Nf3 e5 7.O-O Nc6 8.d5 Ne7 9.Ne1 Nd7 10.Nd3 f5. Early exchanges on f5 led to an open f-file, with Fischer aggressively placing a knight on d4 by move 12. Reshevsky developed his pieces methodically, but the middlegame exploded around move 26 with c5, pressuring Black's position. A dramatic tactical sequence ensued starting with 26...Nf4 27.Qg3 Bxe4 28.Rxe4 Qxe4 29.Nxe4 Ne2+ 30.Kh1 Nxg3+ 31.hxg3, resulting in a massive material exchange. Reshevsky emerged down the exchange (a rook for a minor piece), left with a rook, bishop, and active passed pawns against Fischer's two rooks and pawns. By move 33.a4, the position was an "absorbing endgame study," as noted by commentator Hans Kmoch, where Reshevsky's pieces displayed superior activity compensating for the material deficit. The endgame featured tense maneuvering: Fischer advanced his e-pawn, but Reshevsky's rook and bishop harassed Black's king and pawns effectively. Key mistakes highlighted in analyses include Fischer missing a decisive winning move in the endgame, allowing Reshevsky to force a perpetual check setup. For instance, after 53...Rb7 54.Re6+ Kf5 55.Re5+ Kf6 56.Rd5 Rb3+ 57.Kg4, the position enabled perpetual checks, leading to the draw after 57 moves. Fischer later annotated this game as "A Peccable Draw" in his book My 60 Memorable Games, expressing regret over not capitalizing on his advantage. Reshevsky's resilience under pressure, despite being the exchange behind, showcased his endgame prowess, while Fischer's oversight turned a potential victory into a draw. This game exemplifies the psychological intensity of their rivalry and remains a classic study in compensation and missed opportunities in chess endgames. ---- Bobby Fischer Samuel Reshevsky 1961 chess match, King's Indian Defense analysis, famous chess draw, Fischer missed win, Reshevsky vs Fischer game 11, chess endgame study, My 60 Memorable Games game 28, historic chess rivalry, perpetual check in chess, chess tactics and blunders --- #BobbyFischer #SamuelReshevsky #ChessHistory #KingsIndianDefense #FamousChessGames #MissedWin #ChessDraw #ChessEndgame #1961Match #ChessLegends #My60MemorableGames
