This was a king's Gambit game played by fischer. The tactical creativity in this match is mind-blowing, but what's crazy is this game was played after his famous article that he wrote at the age of 18 after loosing to Boris Spassky (who played the kings gambit) forever condemning the gambit and pointing out it's unsound positional weaknesses. While the article had an effect on grandmasters and for a while the opening disappeared from tournament play, it was fischer who brought it back and scored some sparkling victories- such as this one!

"losing" not "loosing"
way to point out the egregious spelling error in a blog, anonymous- kudos! this blog is about chess though, not scrabble, so feel free to correct any error in a positional analysis that your scrupulous eye may happen upon, but please do have the good taste to tolerate other errors.
thanx! (does thanks with an "x" offend your sensibilities?)
