🔸Bobby Fischer
🔸 American Chess Grandmaster
🔰 Robert James Fischer was an American chess grandmaster and the eleventh World Chess Champion. Many consider him to be the greatest chess player of all time.
🔘 Full name: Robert James Fischer
🔘 Country: United States
Iceland (2005–2008)
🔘 Born: March 9, 1943
Chicago, Illinois, US
🔘 Died: January 17, 2008 (aged 64)
Reykjavík, Iceland
🔘 Title: Grandmaster (1958)
🔘 World Champion: 1972–1975
🔘 Peak rating: 2785 (July 1972 FIDE rating list)
🔰 Fischer won the World Chess Championship in 1972, defeating Boris Spassky of the USSR, in a match held in Reykjavík, Iceland. Publicized as a Cold War confrontation between the US and USSR, it attracted more worldwide interest than any chess championship before or since. In 1975, Fischer refused to defend his title when an agreement could not be reached with FIDE, chess's international governing body, over one of the conditions for the match. Under FIDE rules, this resulted in Soviet GM Anatoly Karpov, who had won the qualifying Candidates' cycle, being named the new world champion by default.
After forfeiting his title as World Champion, Fischer became reclusive and sometimes erratic, disappearing from both competitive chess and the public eye. In 1992, he reemerged to win an unofficial rematch against Spassky. It was held in Yugoslavia, which was under a United Nations embargo at the time. His participation led to a conflict with the US government, which warned Fischer that his participation in the match would violate an executive order imposing US sanctions on Yugoslavia, and ultimately issued a warrant for his arrest. After that, he lived his life as an émigré. In 2004, he was arrested in Japan and held for several months for using a passport that had been revoked by the US government. Eventually, he was granted an Icelandic passport and citizenship by a special act of the Icelandic Althing, allowing him to live in Iceland until his death in 2008.
♦️ A memorable game by Fischer which has won Paul Benko in 21 moves.
Also this game has named "Rook, Line and Sinker" in chessgames.com site!!

22.Kh1!
This quiet move is the way to add fresh impetus to the white attack. It breaks the pin on f2, after which a fearsome new weapon is added to White's arsenal: the line-breaking f-pawn.
22...h5
Bird responds with a pawn advance of his own, but at best it can be supported by the queen and rook on h8, while all White's pieces are at hand to support the f-pawn.
23.f4 h4 24.f5 Qh5 25.Rf4! f6?? 26.Nxf6! gxf6 27.Rg4++-.
If the black king staggers away then a queen check on e7 will mate him in at most three moves.

I don't know what the reader thinks, but I'm always impressed by regrouping moves of this kind. Geller intends a breakthrough with Nf4 and e5-e6 and there is nothing that Black can do about it.
