			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!- Advanced AdSense by Jim Gaudet -><!- google_ad_section_start -><p>The following game (Sicilian Najdorf) was annotated by Fischer himself, so I did not add any comments to the actual score/notation. His comments are pretty high-level, one may find it necessary to use a board to see what he means when, for example, he gives advantage to Black or White a various points during the game.<br />
Three main things stood out when going over the game and reading Fischer&#8217;s comments.</p>
<p>(1) The need to &#8220;book up&#8221; and stay current only Chess theory, that way you save yourself thinking time during the game, and also avoid reinventing the wheel.</p>
<p>(2) The need to understand the ideas behind a particular opening, for example, when on move 6, he mentions that <em>&#8220;Black&#8217;s expectation in this Najdorf Variation is that his control of important central squares, with possibilities of Q-side expansion, will more than compensate for the slight weakness of his backward QP.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>(3) The need for imagination and calculating several moves ahead. When Fischer played 21&#8230;Rc8, I suspect that he saw that he could play 26&#8230;Rxc3.</p>
<p>I hope you enjoy the game. Your comments and thoughts are welcome.</p>
