Crucial were Fischer’s sensational victory in the Interzonal Tournament in Palma de Mallorca and his subsequent defeats of Mark Taimanov, Bent Larsen and Tigran Petrosian in the Candidates Matches, now half a century ago. I have analysed all 43 games from these contests and selected 17 games from the period leading up to Palma. I have also described Fischer’s uncertainty, which he only managed to overcome when he started playing in the Interzonal Tournament. In the period of eighteen months described in this book, the unstop- pable American scored 65 wins and 26 draws and suffered only four defeats. Added to this, he also achieved an incredible 40½ out of 44 score in two blitz tournaments. For the game analyses, I have used the computer program Stockfish 12. It will be noticed that Fischer didn’t play as perfectly as it was thought for a long time, but I would like to give two short comments here: 1.

  • Kholmov-Bronstein, 32Nd USSR-Ch, Kiev 1964-65
    (The annotations to this game are by Ratmir Kholmov, from Shakhmaty v SSSR (№ 5, 1965). The translation from the original Russian is by Douglas Griffin. The introduction to the game states "This game obtained a special prize as the most beautiful in the tournament. It is annotated, at our invitation, by the winner.") Kholmov – Bronstein 17th round, 32nd USSR Championship, Kiev, 23rd January 1965 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nc3 d6 The opening 'reconnaisance' is concluded. Black offered the Rubinstein Variation to the opponent, but now he himself shifts the play to the usual lines. Interesting is the short game Kholmov-Chikovani (Georgian Championship, 1961): 3...d5 4.exd5 Nxd5 5.Bb5+ Nc6 (the theoretical handbooks recommend 5...Bd7) 6.0–0 Bg4 7.h3 Bh5 8.Ne4 e6 9.c4 Ndb4 10.d4 cxd4 11.a3 a6 12.Ba4 b5 13.Bb3 Bg6 14.Re1 bxc4 15.Ba4 Qb6 16.axb4 0–0–0 17.Bxc6 Qxc6 18.Ne5 Qb7 19.Qc2 Qxb4 20.Bd2, and Black laid down his arms. 4.d4 cxd4 5.Nxd4 a6 6.Bg5 e6 7.f4 Be7 I expected the double-edged 7...Qb6, on which I intended to play 8.Nb3, defending the pawn. 8.Qf3 Qc7 9.0–0–0 Nbd7 10.g4 b5 11.Bxf6 gxf6 XIIIIIIIIY 8r+l+k+-tr0 7+-wqnvlp+p0 6p+-zppzp-+0 5+p+-+-+-0 4-+-sNPzPP+0 3+-sN-+Q+-0 2PzPP+-+-zP0 1+-mKR+L+R0 xabcdefghy Often played here is 11...Nxf6. However, as practice has shown, this move permits White to create a formidable attacking position.

  • Dvoretsky Lessons
    The Queen Exchange Purchases from our chess shop help keep Part Four ChessCafe.com freely accessible: Which Version of the Exchange tp Choose At a lecture that he gave in 1990 at the first session of the Yusupov-Dvoretsky school for gifted young chess players, master Alexei Kosikov wisely remarked that "any exchange in a chess game is a kind of business deal. You offer your product, you're offered something else, and each side tries to extract some kind of benefit from that." This is worth repeating often in order to carry out the exchange in the most favorable way for you. The Tukmakov – G. Kuzmin Instructor Zonal Tournament, Yerevan, 1982 Mark Dvoretsky Secrets of Opening Preparation by Mark Dvoretsky & Artur Yusupov [Find us on Facebook.] Translate this page [FEN "2r2rk1/1pp2pp1/p3p1bp/3Pn1q1/ P3P3/2N4P/BP1Q1PP1/2R1R1K1 w - - 0 21"] 1.? Secrets of Endgame Technique by Mark Dvoretsky Check with the knight on f3 is threatened; it also follows on 21.Re3?? The & Artur Yusupov tense variation 21.f4?! Nf3+ 22.Kf2 Nxd2 23.fg ed finishes with an endgame that's playable for Black (24.Nxd5 Nxe4+; 24.Bxd5 c6; 24.ed Rfe8). In the case of 21.Qxg5?! hg the exchange sacrifice 22.de Nd3 23.Nd5 Kh7 is questionable, and on 22.Red1 there follows the simple 22...Rfe8 23.de fe (with a subsequent Kf7-e7). Black's defense holds because of the e5-knight, superbly positioned in the center, and chasing it away from there isn't easy, as the g5-pawn prevents the move f2-f4.
