Chess

First the famous Bobby Fischer game, which has also been analyzed by GM Karsten Mueller in articles, with the question whether Nxd7 was the winning move or not.

1971, candidates tourney - Here Fischer played Nc5xd7, after which Miguel Najdorf ran around in the analysis room in disbelief thinking that Fischer blundered away the beautiful knight versus the "bad" bishop.
