Bobby Fischer is known for his very crisp and powerful moves that may seem like very simple moves. In this game that he played against Max Euwe in 1960, he carefully exchanged the pieces in such a way that he got the upper hand in the game.

Fischer created a deadly pin against Euwe’s bishop, which remained undeveloped for a long time. He got an outside passed pawn and won the game eventually.
