Nifty one from Fischer


I'm at a work training in Grand Rapids, MI. Hopefully getting out of here won't be too bad with the 5" of snow forcasted. Anyway....

From Fischer-Spassky 1992.

Fischer (white) just played Nbxc5 which wins a pawn. Very creative. If Spassky takes the bait he stands to go down another pawn. Actually he goes down two pawns regardless.

Fischer was a Christian believer & had a bad experience with a church. It was nice to read that he didn't give it up despite the issues.
