Have to ever ran Bobby Fischers so called greatest game through Fritz
?

BF , sacrificed his queen on move I7 and ended up checkmating the IM ,
in 4I moves .

I think BF was I6 at the time ?

If you have not you should do that one because it would be
interesting...

Can you post that game ?

BTW, just one more minor correction: Donald Byrne was not an IM at
the time that game was played. He got the International Master title
in 1962.

Well, I have Fritz vers. 5.32, which is not strong enough
to "overrule" BF-- except in tactics. Somebody would
need to use one of the 3000-rated programs to look over
his games.

There have been many chess positions which, in the
age before strong chess computers, were hotly debated
as to who stood better, who is winning or drawing, and
this is where (really strong) chess computers shine, in
their utter objectivity. The program neither knows nor
cares a whit about who has which side, and it can be
and is utterly objective-- if not /always/ correct.

Maybe I should; maybe the latest and greatest
Fritz has built-in chess lessons, or can tell me
how to play the openings better.

I recently read that ICC, which charges for
membership, has a bunch of instructional videos
which members can watch.

The fact is, I already learn a good deal from
watching my *free* chess engines tear games
apart-- especially my own. But I deliberately
play widely varying opening lines, rather than
try and "master" something narrow, and this
no doubt hurts my results. I've noticed that
a few of the top-rated players from my area
get "free wins" from opponents falling into
traps in sharp, memorized lines, but that's
not what I'm aiming for; I want to become a
jack of all trades-- equally adept in any sort
of position.

The last two opening books I purchased
have yet to be opened; OTOH, I did read the
covers just to make sure I got what I ordered... .

I don't recall analyzing the full game with Fritz, but I know that
Fritz validates the queen sac at move 17.

No, he was 13. The tournament in which the game was played ended in
October 1956.

Here it is, with annotations by Shipov from CB Mega Database 2005.
