The is the 1st of a 2-game exhibition match played at the Manhattan Chess Club New York, 1957 between Dr. Max Euwe, the 5th World Chess Champion, and the young talent Bobby Fischer. What an experience it must have been for the young Fischer to play a World Champion. It’s surprising to see a game where Fischer lost in 20 moves, especially since the opening follows a positional path out of a Queen’s Gambit Declined, exchange variation. Make no mistake, a 14-year-old Bobby Fischer was very much so an incredibly strong chess player. Fischer later that year would go on to become the youngest United States Chess Champion ever. I can’t help but wonder how Fischer might have been influenced by this mini-match with Euwe.
