Just for interest. The leading paper in Sydney put this article in the paper today about Bobby Fischer. http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/11/26/1069825840067.html

I would sure like to track down the game Fischer had with Donald Byrne in 1956. The game that led to his fame. Anyone know how to get the game?

I have an original copy of that issue and often replay the game on an open board. Fischer's execution of the Grunfield defence is awesome.
The game notation is in 'descriptive' notation as was all games until 1981. I would be happy to make available the game notation to RHP members . I will post it shortly in the 'chess only' forum.
