Byrne D vs. Fischer R ("Third Rosenwald Trophy"; New York, USA, 1956)


Looking at the  brilliant chess game played by Carlsen when he was just 12 years old (Carlsen vs. Harestad; 2003),  I recall the game played by Bobby Fischer when he was just 13.

This game is known as the "Game of the Century" where Fischer showed the world his very deep knowledge of chess with the shocking 17. __ Be6! With this move, Fischer sacrificed his Queen to gain a relentless attack with the use of his minor pieces.  The sacrifice, given its merits, cannot be declined.
