    The Game of the Century is a chess game played between 26-year-old Donald Byrne and 13-year-old Bobby Fischer in the Rosenwald Memorial Tournament in New York City on October 17, 1956, which Fischer won. The competition took place at the Marshall Chess Club. It was nicknamed "The Game of the Century" by Hans Kmoch in Chess Review. Kmoch wrote, "The following game, a stunning masterpiece of combination play performed by a boy of 13 against a formidable opponent, matches the finest on record in the history of chess prodigies.
    Bobby Fischer was a record-setting chess master who became the youngest player to win the U.S. Chess Championship at 14, and the first American-born player to win the World Chess Championship.
    Early Life
    Robert James Fischer was born in Chicago, Illinois, on March 9, 1943. Fischer's parents divorced when he was a toddler, and he began learning chess at the age of 6 after his older sister Joan bought him a chess set. He continued to hone his skills as a youngster at the Brooklyn Chess Club and Manhattan Chess Club. Fischer had a strained relationship with his mother, who supported his chess endeavors, but preferred that he pursue other areas of interest.
    A brilliant, highly competitive player who lost himself in the game, Fischer earned a place in the record books at age 14 when he became the youngest player to win the U.S. Chess Championship. Then in 1958, at 15, he became the youngest international grand master in history by winning the related tournament in Portoroz, Yugoslavia (now Slovenia).
    Match of the Century
    During the early 1960s, Fischer continued to be involved in U.S. and world championship matches, but was also making a name for himself with his erratic, paranoid commentary. After having a 20-game winning streak in the early 1970s, Fischer once again made chess history in 1972 with his defeat of the Soviet Union's Boris Spassky at the Reykjavik, Iceland world championships, thus marking the first time an American chess player had won the title. Fischer's defeat of a Soviet opponent, which became known as the "Match of the Century," took on iconic proportions in the midst of the Cold War and was seen as a symbolic victory of democracy over Communism. Fischer's historic win also made chess a popular game in the United States.

    Byrne wasn't trying for some Nd7 victory. He had stated that he could have resigned at Bobby's Be6 move but he wanted the 13 year old boy to complete his masterpiece 🙂👌🏼

    I analized Fischer's game with Stockfish.
    Fischer only made 1 'inacurracy' and it was because he made a mate sequence with 4 moves instead of 3.

    "Watch out for this new kid we got. He's really good. I should have believed them, but you know, you hear that so often. Everybody has a cousin, or a nephew, or something, who is really great. So, uh, he comes in, a bright kid, and he's gonna give me a hard time for a few moves, and then I'm gonna squash him. But, of my God, comes this maniac at me, and everything indicated he knew exactly what he was doing. I had White but I was on the the defensive at about 10 moves and scared skinny. I said to myself, "This kid is different from all other kids."

It's called _Pawn Sacrifice,_ and Fischer is played by that peckerhead from _That 70's Show._ He did a pretty good job, all-and-all, and I think you'd like it.

    move by pretending a was the greatest child prodigy to ever grace the game of chess, and simply imagined, IN MY barely 1,300 rating HEAD, 20 moves out that that wouldn’t be good for White. So yeah it was pretty “Obvious.”

      Watch his agadmator's Long Awaited Q&A Video.
      And if you are lazy he recommended 2 things: as a beginner never read the opening, read the endgame.
      He also recommended Chess Fundamentals by José Raúl Capablanca. He recommends it and studied it.
      He also mentioned that people recommended anything by Jeremy Silman.
      Which I agree with. Silman's writing and methods are awesome both in the chess knowledge but also in the delivery, it's also funny and sarcastic with is very interesting.

What vision and intuitive genius, baiting Byrne into what seems pretty like a pretty obvious move with Be7 to win material, only for him to fall hard into Fischer's trap. I imagine Byrne may have concluded that Fischer made a mistake, or he wouldn't have taken the opportunity for material advantage presented.
    So impressive how far ahead Fischer read, and how innovative and majestic his style of coordination and attack was. Truly a beautiful
