Game 4 of Fischer...Not won/lost, but very nearly... Game 4 of Fischer-Spassky. Killed the Sozin for the match - in his next White Fischer opened with 1.c4 and when he went back to 1.e4 he played the Rauzer against Spassky's Sicilian. Whoever in the legion of Soviet GMs who worked out 9..a6; 10...Nxd4; 11...b5 (Geller?) did a great job, Fischer was hanging on just trying to survive, and on a different day Spassky probably would've beaten him. "This was the surprise! It turns out that the challenger's narrow opening repertoire has its negative side. At the board Fischer is forced to solve a complictaed theoretical problem that had been thoroughly analysed by his opponent."
