Chess Legend Bobby Fischer’s Favorite Opening Traps
In this lesson, you will learn Bobby Fischer’s 3 favorite chess opening traps that he used to crush his opponents, from amateur players to super grandmasters. These traps are from some of the most popular chess openings. These include the Evans Gambit, Lolli Attack, and the Sicilian Defense.
Here’s the best part: Fischer used these traps to defeat some of the strongest players of his time, including Reuben Fine and Samuel Reshevsky. One thing you’ll notice is that he always goes for 1.e4 which he calls “best by test.”
Fischer vs. Fine
In this game, Fischer opted for the Evans Gambit. Fine, being a strong grandmaster, played logical moves, which many players until this day still often play. But Fischer shows how to play gambits: develop fast and create immediate threats.
Fischer vs. Rouse
Bobby Fischer played this game in a simultaneous exhibition. Many players love playing the Fried Liver Attack but Fischer didn’t. He considered the Lolli Attack to be a better version. In this game, he demonstrates why.
Fischer vs. Reshevsky
When playing black, Fischer often opts for the Sicilian defense. But in this game, his opponent/rival uses it against him. However, he shows his mastery of the opening and punishes Reshevsky’s inaccuracy with a brilliant sacrifice.
