“When Grand Masters play, they see the logic of their opponent's moves. One's moves may be so powerful that the other may not be able to stop him, but the plan behind the moves will be clear. Not so with Fischer. His moves did not make sense - at least to all the rest of us they didn't. We were playing chess, Fischer was playing something else, call it what you will. Naturally, there would come a time when we finally would understand what those moves had been about. But by then it was too late. We were dead.” MayPlayAbleMovingPowerfulBehindsClearPlansMastersLateLogicChessMake SenseOpponentsToo LatePlaying ChessFischer Author:Mark Taimanov
