Amen rated 23 months ago- Very few games garner this caliber of respect.

- "In this game, Fischer (playing black) demonstrates brilliance, innovation, improvisation and poetry. Byrne (playing white), after a standard opening, makes a minor mistake on move 11, moving the same piece twice (wasting time). Fischer pounces, with strong sacrificial play, culminating in an incredible queen sacrifice on move 17. Byrne captures the queen, but Fischer more than compensates by taking many other pieces. The ending is an excellent demonstration of pieces working together to achieve a checkmate."

- From the page: "The Game of the Century refers to a chess game played between Donald Byrne and 13-year old Bobby Fischer in the Rosenwald Memorial Tournament in New York City on October 17, 1956. It was nicknamed "The Game of the Century" by Hans Kmoch in Chess Review."

- This was a badass game. By far the scariest 13 year old kid ever. The best thing about this site is that you can watch the game. Scroll to the bottom and watch this match unfold. Beautiful.

- This is a cool site if you have any interest in chess. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and with the help of a clever applet, you can replay the whole of Bobby Fischer's "Game of the Century". And remember, Fischer was only 13 when he did this.
