WARP228's video: FISCHER VS TAIMANOV GAME 4 1971 - MOVE 22 - VARIATION

BOBBY FISCHER VERSUS MARK TAIMANOV CANDIDATES QUARTERFINAL MATCH - GAME FOUR (1971). WHEN I LOOKED AT THE MOVES OF GAME FOUR IN THIS MATCH, I WONDERED WHY AFTER FISCHER PLAYED MOVE 22 (QUEEN TAKES BLACK'S ROOK AT D1, PUTTING BLACK'S KING IN CHECK), TAIMANOV MOVED IS BLACK QUEEN TO D7. I ASKED MYSELF WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF ON MOVE 22 TAIMANOV INSTEAD JUST MOVED HIS KING OUT OF CHECK TO C8. WOULD FISCHER STILL HAVE WON THE GAME? I RAN A COMPUTER SIMULATION OF THIS GAME AFTER MOVE 22 BY BLACK WITH TAIMANOV MOVING HIS KING TO C8. THE RESULTS OF THE SIMULATION SHOW THAT THE GAME WOULD HAVE ENDED IN A DRAW!!!! STARTING WITH FISCHER'S 22ND MOVE, HERE ARE THE COMPUTER'S MOVES:
