Tactical Blow from the Legend Bobby Fischer

Updated: Aug 1, 2021


White's king is weak, can you find the finishing tactic?
Fischer versus Unzicker 1962

Imagine you are the young teenage sensation, Bobby Fischer. What would you do to exploit the weakness in white's king position? Does black have a move that leads to checkmate?

The answer is Rxc3! Fischer sacrificed his rook for a pawn. If 1.bxc3, then Qf2 is mate. If 1.Rxa2, then the answer is a bit more difficult. Black first plays 1...Rf3+ and then White can get checkmated if he play 2.Kg2 by Qf2+ followed by 3...Rxg3 with a mating net. If white resists with 2.Ke2, then black resists with Rf2+ followed by 3...Qe3+ if white plays 3.Ke1 or 3...Qxa2 (rook) if White plays 3.Kd1, with a winning attack.
