Checkmate

1963, Bobby Fischer Vs. Reuben Fine.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to share the afternoon and evening with some mates in the living room of one of us. We boiled water and prepared English Tea and started to play chess.

It's been a long time ago since the last time but fortunately I still remember how to move the pieces.
Somewhen during the game, Pablo stood up and talked the way the great masters talk to their pupils, knowing their superiority but with a deep feeling to teach all of us.

There,standing in the middle of the living room with the chessboard in from of him, he started the game.

"Fischer opened with some common movements and started to sacrifice pawns... quite unusual... but Fischer was preparing for a checkmate  just a few movements later."


If you like chess you can follow the 17-movements game.
