Description
This week, it's the "Game of the Century" -- an amazing one from a 1956 tournament in New York.  A 13-year-old Bobby Fischer had the black pieces.  We cover moves 1-20. Study the game, then have a listen and see how well you can visualise the moves "blindfold".   You'll find the complete game annotation here: http://bit.ly/39GE3Oz.  Be sure to check out these video commentaries before you listen: http://bit.ly/3bEZqlp and/or http://bit.ly/2vEGXVi and/or http://bit.ly/2HxddfL.  Want to support the show?   It's still in its early stages, so a great way to do that is to offer your feedback.
