is a great story that accompanies this game. In a hall adjacent to the playing
room, Grandmaster Rossolimo was commenting on the games for a large audience.
He had been completely mystified by this game; at this point, in fact, he told
his audience that there was obviously nothing left for Fischer to do but give
up. Suddenly, the messenger came with the next report, and announced that
Byrne had resigned! Can you guess Fischer's deadly final stroke?} 21... Qd7
