Bobby Fischer 1956

Bobby Fischer was 13 years old when he played this game. He is already using the Najdorf Sicilian (5.-a6 named after GM Miguel Najdorf), his main defence against 1.e4 during his whole career. About the opponent I don't know much. He played like about ELO 2100 this game.

1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6
The Sicilian Najdorf
6.Be2
Other main lines are 6.Bg5, 6.Be3, 6.Bc4 or 6.f4
6...e5
A good alternative is 6...e6
7.Nb3 Be7
Possible is also 7...Be6. With 6...Be7 wants to castle fast.
8.Be3
The main line is 8.0–0
8...0–0
More often 8...Be6 is played
9.Qd2?!
9.0–0 is more popular, but the best results White is getting after 9.g4!?
9...b5
9.-Be6 is normally preferred
10.f3 Be6 11.g4?!
Better are 11.0–0 or 11.Nd5 The text move tries to start a king side attack. But Bobby is now able to play a classical counter-attack in the centre
11...d5!

White has now immediate problems with his centre. Black has the initiative.
