The Game of the Century

| A glimps from The Game of The Century |
Introduction
The year of 1956 helped to imprint the name Bobby Fischer into the books of chess history. As only a 13 year old boy, Fischer was able to engage in brilliant, tactical wars against much stronger opponents, including International Master Donald Byrne. The two faced off at the Rosenwald Memorial Tournament, and although the tournament did boast several respected players, not many expected this confrontation to be as memorable as it turned out to be. Byrne had the game under control until the very end when Bobby made him lose by checkmate in the thirty first move. This led to Bobby having one of the best ranked games in chess history, and the match itself being referred to as the Game Of The Century.
