      It should be noted that the original meaning of word "bishop" is something like "supervisor". The equivalent of "Vizir" for Persian.
      So it has nothing to do with church roles, but with monarchy roles.
      It is funny that French call this piece "fou" that means "mad",

    A comment I once read on the position after 40...g6: "It's sad and ironic. Black's queenside pawns are all on dark squares, and that's bad because it means White's king can penetrate through them. On the other hand, Black's kingside pawns are all on light squares, and that's bad too, because they're permanent targets for White's bishop."

    The beginning of the R+ minors ending so much reminds me of Carlsen: Black basically already pressed the " I lose" button, even though he may only be worse.
    However, in Fischer`s times, this was still quite a novelty.

  • @tennisblood
    @tennisblood Před 5 lety +4

    As noted by many Russian analysts, ...b6, was a major mistake. Mark should have ignored the threat to pawn b7 (and protect pawn c5 only) as there was Rb8 reply if B:b7.

    It's hard to spot taimanov's mistakes. Fischer was simply playing in another league.
    That said, rook and bishop vs rook and knight is usually a big advantage for the former.

  • @WARP228
    @WARP228 Před 4 lety +2

    I did a computer analysis of this game. The computer had this game a DRAW! Taimanov missed a draw on move 22. When Fischer had his Queen take Taimanov's Rook to put Taimanov's KIng in check the computer had Taimanov move his King to C8 instead of moving his Queen to D7. This game then resulted in a DRAW!

    The bishop is a slashing piece, the rook is like a bulldozer. since Fisher was playing a Soviet GM. Maybe we could call Fisher's rook a hammer and his bishop a sickle
