The tactical subtleties of Fischer's play are often overlooked. In a game against Unzicker in the Siegen Olympiad in 1970, Fischer played the Ruy Lopez opening and obtained a tactical position. Fischer already enjoys a one pawn material advantage. Is the move Bxg4 justified or not? Try to figure this out without the aid of a computer. Computers prevent us from thinking originally. In a tournament situation, it is not possible to take out a pocket computer and find all of the moves out in a combination. Instead of teaching us how to play originally, computers are limiting our thinking.
