“Loss generally occurs when a player overrates his advantage or for other reasons seeks to derive from a minute advantage a great return such as a forced win.”

Here Fischer and Larsen are preparing for they're legendary candidates semi final match and yes also this match ended 6-0 in Fischer's favor.
As usual Fischer won many games in the end-game as he was in better form and did not crack from pressure after the 5th hour of play.

It was a promising start in the #SpringChessClassic - Group A, as the first round ended with 4 decisive games and only one draw.
