Nearly 4 years ago, I uploaded a YouTube video highlighting the brief round 4 game between Bobby Fischer and International Master Peter Dely from the 1967 Skopje Tournament.

What I didn't realize at the time of the video upload was that Fischer won a 2nd miniature only 13 rounds and 20 days later with the Fischer-Sozin Attack again, this time against International Master Jovan Sofrevski. In the video, and below it, I have highlighted 3 key positions from the game.

## Tale of the tape \| Bobby Fischer vs Jovan Sofrevski

**Stockfish 14+ analysis**

Fischer's blunder:
13\. Qe3 \(considered best is kingside pawn play with g4\-g5\, looking to either drive the black knight away from its post or be granted a half\-opened g\-file in case of \.\.\.Qxg5\)

***

Sofrevski's blunders:
13...b6 (considered best is queenside pawn play with b5, allowing 14. Bxa7)
14...gxf6 (considered best is to maintain the kingside structure with BxB, allowing 15. Rxd6)
