Game of the Century


Bobby Fischer, regarded as one of the greatest chess players of all time has played many famous games.

At the age of 13, when he brilliantly defeated his strong opponent, who was one of America's leading chess masters, it caused a sensation.

A spectacular Queen sacrifice followed by a series of discovered checks earned this game the title of "Game of the Century".
