Geller vs Fischer, Sicilian Najdorf, 40 moves (1-0).

Geller vs Fischer, King's Indian (Samisch) 57 moves (1-0).
Fischer vs Geller, Sicilian Najdorf, 25 moves (0-1).
Fischer vs Geller, Sicilian (Sozin), 23 moves (0-1).
Notice how Bobby even played White 3 out of 5 times. Now this guy
should have met Bobby at Reykjavik! Too bad the Russians never played
the race card.

You left out several key games in your analysis, insinuating that Fischer
never defeated Geller. As you can see, the crosstable finishes at 4 wins for
Fischer, 5 for Geller, and 2 draws. More importantly, Fischer is well known
for his powerful play after the fiascos of the 1960's Candidates in which he
constantly poisoned his own chances for success with his paranoia and
walkouts. By the time of his match with Spassky it is argued that he was
almost unbeatable with white.

The Geller who played at Netanya 1968 was not Efim Geller of the USSR
but rather Uzi Geller of Israel.

Too right! I should have searched Geller, Efim instead of just surname in my
Chessbase database.
