Mikhail Botvinnik playing chess against a group of "young pioneers", circa 1938.

It is interesting that the Maestro is playing with the black pieces, instead of white as it is customary.

🔸 Pal Benko

@UnityChessClub

Bobby Fischer with the Frank Marshall Trophy at the Marshall Chess Club in January 1964. The position on that massive cake is from his splendid 22-move win over Pal Benko, after 19.Rf6!!, in the tenth round on December 30, 1963 (Michael Ochs Archive).

🔗 Olimpiu G. Urcan (@olimpiuurcan)

At age 20, Bobby Fischer won the 1963–64 US Championship with 11 wins in 11 games, the only perfect score in the history of the tournament. A marvelous game where in Pirc defense Fischer goes for a rook sacrifice which not only block’s the f-pawn’s further advancement but also demoralizes the whole black army! A classical example of a block which will live forever!

☑️ US Championship (1963/64), New York

⚪️🇺🇸 Robert James Fischer
⚫️🇭🇺 Pal Benko

Pirc Defense: Austrian Attack. Weiss Variation (B09)

Result : 1-0
