18 Memorable Games

My next blog project falls timely: a look at games from Kasparov's My Great Predecessors IV, the volume on Fischer, that overlap Fischer's own My 60 Memorable Games. Here are the games (round numbers in parentheses):-

1958 Portoroz, Fischer - Larsen (8)
1959 Zuerich, Fischer - Keres
1959 Zuerich, Fischer - Unzicker
1959 Bled/Zagreb/Belgrade, Fischer - Benko (10)
1959 Bled/Zagreb/Belgrade, Fischer - Gligoric (4)
1959 Bled/Zagreb/Belgrade, Keres - Fischer (1)
1960 Leipzig, Fischer - Euwe (7)
1961 Los Angeles, Fischer - Reshevsky (2)
1961 Los Angeles, Reshevsky - Fischer (5)
1961 Bled, Fischer - Geller (6)
1961 Bled, Gligoric - Fischer (1)
1961 Bled, Fischer - Tal (2)
1962 Varna, Fischer - Najdorf (2)
1962 Varna, Unzicker - Fischer (7)
1963 New York, Fischer - Benko (10)
1963 New York, Byrne - Fischer (3)
1966 Santa Monica, Portisch - Fischer (11)
1967 Sousse, Fischer - Stein (7)

Since I'm nowhere near understanding either Kasparov or Fischer, I'll concentrate on identifying differences in opinion between the 11th and the 13th World Champions.

Later: On that first pass I overlooked Fischer's draws and losses that are recorded in other sections of the Predecessors series.

1959 Yugoslavia, Fischer - Tal
1962 Varna, Botvinnik - Fischer
1967 Skopje, Fischer - Geller (Vol.II, in the section on Smyslov)
