Today I went into Frogtown Books in Toledo Ohio. I asked where the chess books were and the owner was kind enough to show me a bit of history. He pulled out a score sheet from a chess Tournament in Argentina. Bobby Fischer was playing black. It was in the old descriptive notation. Bobby lost in around 32 moves.
It was sweet to look at it. And it was comforting to remember that even the great ones take their losses.
All the moves and signatures are on one side because the game was short enough. I can imagine it framed and hanging on some wall in Argentina today.
If I had the extra cash, I would buy it, and hang it in my office.
Everyone must emotionally overcome their defeats.
