Big Fan of Fisher. Will there be analysis to the display game 1. aswell !?
We'll talk about the shocking Bxh2 move.
On the chessmanitoba site, I believe it was Fischer that received the rd. 2 Forfeit. Maybe on the 50th anniversary we X ray all the chairs!
Fischer was forfeited as he did not show up, thus Spassky got the 'forfeit' win.
