At the 1963 US Championship, Bobby Fischer outclassed the competition with 11 points from 11 games. In his video contribution, Rogozenco presents Fischer's winning game against Pal Benko from the tenth round as an example of how the young star outplayed his experienced opponent both positionally and tactically. Benko gave up after White's 21st move - two moves after a spectacular attacking move by Fischer, which made this encounter famous. Have fun!
