Greatest Chess Positional Play! Byrne vs. Fischer US Championship 1963
Fischer exhibited a deep understanding of the positional advantages available from every move he played in the opening and he pursued them with a delicacy one wouldn't expect from a player reputed to be one of the foremost attackers and tacticians of his day.
Pawn to e5 was a bit worried about weakening Queen Pawn, but the tremendous activity obtained by Fischer's minor pieces would permit White no time to exploit it. Byrne’s desire to break the pin on the e2-knight. Fischer spends a lot of time and energy analyzing the superior 14. Rad1!, but still comes to the conclusion that Black can keep the advantage with Nd3!!! Now it’s all systems go for the Fischer rocket. Byrne sat and pondering why Fischer would choose such a line, because it was so obviously lost for Black, then suddenly comes...18...Nxg2!! This dazzling move came as the shocker...
