1972: Bobby Fischer vs. Boris Spassky
Much can be learned by studying the great games of all time. Enjoy re-playing this classic Fischer-Spassky game from the match that captivated the world. Look at the very end, where Spassky resigned. What a finish! At first glance, it seems as if Spassky has several options, but when you play them out (you can do this by moving the pieces with your mouse, then clicking on R to reset), you can see there is no escape. Unbelievable.
Next, see if you can see the fatal and final mistake Spassky made, and how Fischer brilliantly capitalized on it. It's not all about balance of material. Position is also EXTREMELY important as this game illustrates.

That is an amazing game. I thought that when he gave up a rook it was a blunder,it turned out to be a well planned sacrifice!
