The final position of Fis-cher-Rubinetti (Diagram 2) is similar enough to the final position of another gameDiagram 3cited. Tal-Mukhim, (Diagram 3, to have caught Cafferty's attention.Cafferty has emphasized the similarity of these positions because the move sequences are close and the outcomes are immediate and identical. I.e. black resigns. ISs*But most “similar” positions reached after 20 or so moves are only taking-off points for future play. They are subjectively experienced as unique” and certainly become such as play unfolds further.It is only a slight exaggeration to say that most players will never play the exact same game twice in their lives. With the exception of trivial instances of recurring opening traps, which force an immediate resignation or mate, the possibilities in chess are sufficiently inexhaustible that exact duplication is a freak outcome.When Capablanca in the 1930s complained that chess was being exhausted and suggested that the bishops and knights be interchanged in the initial position to provide new possibilities, he was perhaps revealing the sterility of his own opening ideas. With the further exploration of chess openings, more and more possibilities have become available, albeit later and later in the game. The identical phenomenon is well known from all fields of knowledge, especially natural science.A recent enumeration of several remarkably similar games by Bernard Cafferty in the British magazine “Chess” is instructive. The games show a striking repetition of moves and themes up to a point but then they take off on unique paths.Diagram 1Here’s an example, with Bobby Fischer winning via a well known thematic sacrifice that exploits the rook vs. king situation on the king file. Look at Diagram 1.What is Fischer's move (the sacrifice!)? Consult and play over the score of the game to see fully how he proceeds.It is true that the variation is derived from the game Honfi vs. Tatai. Monaco, 1968, as Cafferty informs us. It is also true that the latter game goes back to another game played in 1955. But although the key ideas and execution areremarkably similar, the exact play in each game is unique.Diagram 2As you play over Fischer's game, you will see how his pieces swarm over theQR QN OB O K KB KN KRF isctmrWHITEWhal 5 F scner s 12th mcve1BLACKRufcfre?t*Incidentally, Capablanca eventually lost his world title to Alekhine, who exploited the Cuban s uninspired openingplay.Copyright 1973 by Shelby LymanWHITEOLK BROSOpen Nightly til 10 P.M.
