Bobby Fischer didn’t like blitz chess which according to him, stifles creative ideas. But even in blitz Fischer demonstrated sharp tactical skills and creative ideas. The following game is a nice example! In a game against Yugoslav grandmaster Milan Matulovic Fischer goes for Ruy Lopez and once Black answers with Schliemann defense, Fischer manages to get a very active piece play. Being well familiar with all odds and ends of the variation Fischer quickly manages to gain advantage by sacrificing a piece, after which his attack gets decisive very quickly! In the end by unleashing a king hunt Fischer announces a checkmate!
