Talk:Bobby Fischer/to do

• Replace fair use images with free images, or obtain free licenses for existing images
• Expand treatment of Fischer's career for the years 1970-1972 (rationale: these are the special years in Fischer's career--he may have been #1 in the world as early as 1967, but it was by no means clear that he would win world championship. As early as Rovinj-Zagreb, however, it was clear that Fischer had made a quantum leap in strength and was far ahead of the top Soviet players....)
• Any comprehensive article on Fischer is incomplete without a few positions that exemplify his brilliant chess moves. It would be nice if even two of these positions were included with an explanation for non-chessplayers that made understandable why the way he handled that position was so amazing.

I suggest Robert Byrne v. Fischer, U.S. Championship 1963 [1]. In Fischer's "My 60 Memorable Games" Evans notes that the commentator in the analysis room was explaining how Fischer had misplayed things and was probably lost when the word came: Byrne had resigned.

And probably also Donald Byrne v. Fischer, Rosenwald Memorial 1956 [2], called by some "The Game of the Century" though that is easily disputed.

I disagree about single "brilliant" moves either making or explaining a champion. -Wfaxon 20:29, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

I was not referring to solitary "brilliant" moves, but rather an exemplification of his chess-playing ability, which has now been incorporated into the article. 69.221.160.216 (talk) 22:28, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
