Bobby Fischer's Furious Attack
By Harry T. Conover, Press Staff Writer
“Not new, but old enough to be new,” said the late, great William Ewart Napier of the opening of a game published in his “Amenities and Background of Chess Play.”
U.S. champion Bobby Fischer may have had this idea in mind as he made his opening moves against Yugoslavian grand master Svetozar Gligoric in the 17th Chess Olympics held in Havana.
Playing the all-but-discredited, ancient Exchange Variation of the Ruy Lopez, Fischer mounted a furious attack to defeat Gligoric in 25 moves.
