The Fischer ending
5/12/2010 – The endgame of rook+bishop against rook+knight is also known in chess
literature
as the Fischer ending, at least if the side with the bishop has the upper
hand. The
name arose because the American world champion Robert James Fischer was very
successful with this distribution of material against Soviet grandmasters,
with one of
many examples being the fourth game in his Candidates match against Taimanov
in
Vancouver 1971. Karsten Müller has annotated for ChessBase Magazine Online a
recent model example of the Fischer endgame, namely the game Jakovenko-Rakhmanov. ChessBase Magazine Online.
