Fisher "biggest blunder" not only was NOT a blunder but it was not even a mistake

i also looked into Provisionalrating's study and i think its additionally built around a wrong assumption. Ke7! instead of h5 to develop the king is good, but white could answer Ke7! with a4 instead of the assumed Ke2. blacks hope for a quick draw collapses. Kd6 would now face Ba3+ and black cant just net 3 pawns. also note lines like 32.... Kd5 33.e4+ Ke5 34.f4#.

Good.

Calm down.

There is no need for a "step back" at least not on my part. That bishop move is not a blunder and engine also shows that. Why do you insist calling it a blunder when facts prove you wrong is related to the question I asked you (the one you are still avoiding).

> It’s not about the position, it’s about saying Magnus and Nepo are bad compared to Fischer and they’d lose to a scholars mate. Insinuating they would probably cheat with an engine if the setting is handled like current championships (not sure if that goes against current players or FIDE or the computer age in general). Sending a „shut up“ out instead backing up the own opinion or refuting the other. Posing as Fischers biggest fanboy, but spelling his name wrong. Suggesting recommended courses of action with maximum disrespect towards anyone who would read them. That’s why some people don’t focus on the game (and also because they already know it).

Get help.

> It doesn't take a fortuneteller to say that move is a blunder

That makes no sense. The game was already played. So it does not make sense plus it is not funny.

@SD_2709 said in #40:
> It was a bad move but if stockfish was playing as black the position could still be drawn because max level stockfish hardly makes mistakes while Fischer's opponent is still human and might make several inaccuracies leading to a draw. With perfect play it might have still been a draw if Fischer hadn't played h5. That bishop cannot be saved and instead developing the king would be better. Now it is losing if the opponent has perfect play. After f5, Fischer has completely lost the game. So the first move was a bad move, h5 was a mistake, and f5 was a blunder.

You do not know if it is a blunder?! You see , that is a problem, how can you not know that? You have the analysis of the game posted in my first post on this topic and you can see it is not a blunder. You do not need someone else to "explain" it to you when you can see it your self.
Different engines at different depths will say different things. Engine with low depth considers d4 as an inaccuracy. At high depth, it considers d4 as the best move. Different engines also consider c4 or e4.

It is proven for a long time that Bxh2 was not a blunder. I don't get what you want to prove.

Something is wrong with you.
Wikipedia source:

"Garry Kasparov (2004b), Max Euwe & Jan Timman (2009), Dmitry Plisetsky & Sergey Voronkov (2005), Svetozar Gligoric (1972), and C.H.O'D. Alexander (1972) all give this move one question mark (a bad move but not a blunder). Larry Evans & Ken Smith (1973), and Richard Roberts, Harold Schonberg, Al Horowitz & Samuel Reshevsky (1972) give it "?!" (a dubious move)."

You can call it "best move" because it doesn't change the evaluation. Good luck and good-bye.
The last 3 paragraphs in the original post make no sense.
1) You won't achieve a Scholar's mate against the French defense, the bishop's access to the f7 square is blocked by black's pawns.
2) Fischer was destroyed at times by way less known players in history. Magnus Carlsen is more than able to cope with Fischer in his current state.
3) There is no reason not to mention Fischer's name. And it's Robert James Fischer, not Robert James Fisher.

So you quote people that said it was NOT a blunder to prove your point how it was?! That was my whole point, the move is NOT a blunder.

And that "good luck and good bye" sounds silly.

Actually, your post does not make sense.
