Hello,
I just watched the movie "Pawn
Sacrifice" on the life of Bobby Fischer and at the end of the movie they wrote
that game #6 of the match for the 1972 world championship was one of the greatest
Chess games ever played.
Boris Spassky resigned in move 41
even that he was slightly ahead in material. Did Spassky have a chance to win if
he had continued to play and make the right moves?
Thank you.
Dear viewer,
When Robert Fischer moved his Queen
to f4, he had now a checkmate in 7 moves or less regardless of any
move Boris Spassky could have made:
41. ... Qg8 (mate in 7 moves) or,
41. ... Kg8 (mate in 6 moves) or,
41. ... Kg7 (mate in 5 moves).
The game after Fischer moved 41.
Qe4-f4:
