I just went and bought this book. I will now strive to annotate every move of every game (in part I) as well as memorize every game(in part I). I will then memorize a selection of Fischer games... I will update the fora on my progress and will see if it helps me improve in any way.
PS I still do tactics training every day!

Fischer and Morphy? Check this game out,
where did Fischer get the idea of 13. Kh1, 14.Rg1 and 16. g4, from Morphy!
Originally posted by robbie carrobieActually the ideas are different. Fischer is creating an outpost and Morphy was attacking the king.

Fischer and Morphy? Check this game out,
[pgn] [Event "Siegen Exhibition Ga"] [Site "Siegen Exhibition Ga"] [Date "1970.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "Robert James Fischer"] [Black "Ulf Andersson"] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "A01"] [PlyCount "85"] [EventDate "1970.??.??"] ...[text shortened]...

Originally posted by Paul LeggettActually if I had remembered the game Morphy-Isouard & Braunsweig, Paris, 1858 (though a classic) it would have helped in an OTB game last year. My opponent played the same variation of the Philidor defense.
You would be surprised.
I won, but not as brilliantly as Morphy.
Hi Tom Tom
I don't know about memorising whole games.
It's just the ideas and patterns you need. There will be an awful lot
of bad moves rolling around your memory, be careful they don't download.
Hi Robbie.
Fischer devoured everything he could get his hands on. He got his ideas
from everyone and was soon putting his own ideas into his games.
Fischer rated Morphy very highly and the game Fischer plays against Fine
in his 60 Memorable games is pure Morphy.
However it is a good link but the plan of Kh1 and Rg1 combined with that Bishop
on b2 seems logical (to us AFTER we have seen it).
A closer link from the olden golden era is:
Anderssen - Zukertort Barmen, 1869
Where see the idea in sparking fashion. Queen sac, Bishop sac, Rook lift mate.

...[text shortened]... Kxh7 30.f6+ Kg8 {Now to get the Rook to h3 with tempo.}31.Bh7+ Kxh7 32.Rh3+ Kg8 33.Rh8[/pgn]
This is just the way my brain works. If I memorize everything from the moves to the date and players then my mind will organize it and I will recall the ideas and patterns much more clearly... plus, I may have dreams about them!

(I managed to lose my blitz game, though, but that´s another story...) 😉
