Fun fact - it was these games against Larson that made the Soviets realize Taimanov did not intentionally lose 6-0 to Fischer and that he shouldn't have been punished as such. Fischer was simply playing at a 2800+ level (or whatever) in an era where no one had access to stockfish.

Larsen played this same line against Tal in the Candidates. Commentators said it was like waving a red flag in front of a bull. Tal said in his book, that if it was a simul, he'd think his opponent overlooked it, with the king being forced onto e6, but obviously with Larsen that can't be the case. Tal sank into thoughts and after 40 minutes calculating found some sort of defense and didn't sac.

Stockfish won't make the move 6:25 Pawn-H6. When you pick the most common move from a database with a hugh number of matches played by nuBs, the most common move can very often be the wrong move. This is especially true when tricky traps are involved. A database only composed of matches played by advanced+ level players would give you much better results, since many of the junk moves would be eliminated from the statistics..

Thanks. I played in the USCF from 1967 to 1986, and followed BF closely, soon as I saw the opening moves, I thought, where the HELL was THIS game from?!?! Thanks for clarifying. However, it seems strange that BF, who was famous for not playing for draws against anybody, would, apparently, do so with the White piece, no less, in a blitz game. I've no idea why he repeated moves, nor what he intended if Larsen had not deviated. I remember Larsen crowing about him getting the top board over Fischer to play against Spassky in the 1970 "USSR vs the Rest of the World" and he, Larsen, got squashed in, like, 18 moves. I also remember him writing a column that "explained away" his 6-0 loss to Fischer that was titled, "Unlucky Heat Wave in Denver" (where the match was played, lol.

Alekhine defense trap looks so fun but it's very risky isn't it? What if, instead of 1. Nf3 d5 2. e4 dxe4 3. Ng5 Nf6, black plays 3. ... Bf5? That ruins the gambit and white is simply down a pawn, with a hanging knight. 3. ... Bf5 seems a natural move (if not as common as Nf6) even if black suspects nothing (or at least doesn't know this gambit). Is there a "backup plan" for white in the case of 3. ... Bf5, or is it really just risking it all on the hope that black plays 3. ... Nf6? Thanks for the great lessons!

Lichess player database isn't good for traps because people make bots to play against each other to inflate (and later sell) high rated accounts, using trap lines. That way it doesn't trigger the bot detectors (stockfish doesn't fall for traps) and human review of a game is inconclusive because maybe someone fell for the trap. But dig deeper into those games and you'll see one account falling for the same trap line over and over for like 100 games in a row.

Why did he resign? If queen take night, bishop take queen, check. Then either the pawn comes up to block and threaten, or king moves to light square. Then bishop goes back, check. Then what? If king goes back, then it will be a draw, going back and forth. I can't see a place for the queen to check in one move, so that opens the door for more blocks.
