Daily Study Today I studied the following game played by Bobby Fischer and Hector Rossetto. In his book My 60 Memorable Games he titles this game “The unpleasant obligation” The game was quite interesting and there were a few key moments that stuck out to me. The first was this lovely rook move 24.Ra3 very simply moving away from the center and threatening to take a pawn. I did not see the move as I was to focused on what was going on in the middle. The second thing that I found very interesting was the way Fischer paralyzed all of his opponents pieces in the endgame and basically made whatever moves he wanted until his opponent had nothing left to do. I was trying to come up with quick plans to end the game, but that wasn’t necessary and the easiest win was to just let the opponent run out of moves.
