1) Back in '72 I thought it would have been clever of Fischer to have
played
1. d4 versus Spassky. Actually I think in one game he did reach a
Q-side type
position by transposition and won nicely.
2) There have been many rumors that you've played Fischer at least
one or
two speed games.. and beat him. Is that true?

Dear RSHaas,

That is not a rumor. It is widely known. Bobby used to stay at our
summer home. We did play quite a number of games but not chess. We
played Fischer Random.

I don't think he would want me to let the world know the actual score.
All I can say is I am very proud of my score and I am quite confident
that Bobby changed his mind about Women's Chess after that.

He did not play either of my sisters. Bobby is a charming person if
he did not talk about those few topics we all know about. For most
part, we stayed away from those topics.

I have great respect for Bobby's chess skills and I wish him the best
with his life as well as being a Dad. He was very nice to me and my
family.

Best wishes,
GM Susan Polgar
