Originally posted by Sam The Shamahem, you mean divinely inspired, anyhow, were these games never recorded, i take it they were played off hand without score sheets, although if it was a training exercise for Fischer perhaps his incredible memory would rule out the need for such, anyhow, although i really do not know the process when doing such training, anyone enlighten us further with regard to these games and the possibility or otherwise of being able to view them.
Fischer's blitz game was supposed to be god-like.

Championship. Several grandmasters were present, and there was plenty of eating and drinking. By 2 a. m. Bobby wanted to play some chess, and he had in mind a certain strong international master. But Bobby had drunk quite a bit more than his opponent, and he insisted on playing blindfold blitz chess while the opponent had sight of the board. Still, Bobby Fischer won effortlessly.

"I'll always wonder if it was Fischer who crushed Short via telnet. "
Well Fischer said himself that it wasn't him during one of his radio interviews in the Philippines. I see no reason not to believe him.
Also, it doesn't make any sense if you think about it. He apparently logs on to ICC as a guest in order to be anonymous but then tells Short that he's Fischer?!
