Best,
- Igor

But the defense also brought them bright moments, tempted them again and again, and they could not live without it. Bobby Fischer created the "game of the century" in 1956 against Donald Byrne and he almost beat the world chess champion Mikhail Botvinnik at the 1962 olympiad in Varna, Bulgaria, with the Grunfeld ...
