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
