Here Fischer is facing Najdorf in the 1962 Varna Chess Olympiad.
In this game Fischer unleashed a novelty and in great style he crushed Najdorf in 24 moves with the Adams attack against the Sicilian Najdorf.

“A ‘bad’ bishop is much better in attack than in defense”

The only player Carlsen has never defeated in classical is none other then Ian Nepomniachtchi.
He has beated Carlsen 4-0 with 5 draws.
It would be interesting if Ian would win the next Candidates tournament.

Wesley So, Levon Aronian and Shakhriyar Mamedyarov must all win tomorrow or they're out of the #GrandPrixFIDE! Shak will be kicking himself after losing a winning position vs. Wojtaszek, in what turned out to be a great day for Poland:
