I have come to the personal conclusion that while all artists are not chess players, all chess players are artists.

{ One must play their best to beat the best player of his time. Here we see
Bobby Fischer fall to an exhausting set of maneuvers. } 1. e4 { C18: French: 3
Nc3 Bb4: Main line: 7 h4 and 7 Qg4 } 1... e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. e5 c5 5. a3 Bxc3+ 6. bxc3 Qc7 { This move is designed to discourage 7. Qg4 when black
would play 7... f5. However, a more modern idea is simply 6... Ne7. Then if
7. Qg4, then 7... cxd4 is complicated, but OK for black. } 7. Nf3 Bd7 8. a4 Ne7 9. Bd3 Nbc6 10. O-O { The bishop must be dislodged from its powerful
diagonal before black castles. For example, 10... O-O 11. Bxh7 Kxh7 12. Ng5+
Kg8 13. Qh5 Rfc8 14. Qxf7+ Kh8 15. f4! and black will find it hard to stop
16. Rf3 and 17. Rh3. For example, 15... Nf5 16. Rf3 Nh6 17. Rh3 cxd4 (what
else?) 18. Rxh6+ is mate next. However, the defensive recourse 15... Be8 16.
Qxe6 is good for a draw because white gets into trouble after the complicated
16. Qf8+ Ng8 17. Rf3 Bh5!. } 10... c4 11. Be2 f6 12. Ba3 { Now 12... fxe5 13. dxe5
Nxe5 14. Nxe5 Qxe5 15. Bh5+ Ng6 wins a pawn at the expense of opening the
center uncastled for one of history's great attacking players. } 12... O-O 13. Re1 Rf7 14. exf6 gxf6 15. Bf1 Re8 16. Nh4 Ng6 17. Qh5 Rg7 18. g3 Qa5 $1 { Forcing
an ugly defensive move. } 19. Bb2 Nd8 { The isolated pawn on a4 becomes a
target. } 20. Re3 Nf7 21. Kh1 { Now the immediate 21... Bxa4 gets refuted by
22. Nf5! } 21... Nd6 22. Nxg6 hxg6 23. Qe2 Rh7 24. Kg1 Kf7 25. h4 f5 26. Qf3 Ne4 27. Qf4 Rc8 28. Bg2 Qc7 29. Qxc7 Rxc7 30. a5 Rc6 31. Ba3 Ra6 32. Bb4 Rh8 33. Ree1 Bc6 34. Bf3 Nd2 35. Be2 Ne4 36. Kg2 Nf6 37. Rh1 Be8 38. Kf3 Ne4 39. Ke3 Nf6 40. f3 Bd7 41. g4 Be8 42. Kf4 Bb5 43. h5 gxh5 44. Rag1 Be8 45. Ke3 b6 46. axb6 Rxb6 47. Ra1 Rb7 48. Bd6 Rh7 49. gxf5 { White is not prepared to exploit
the attacking chances created by this line-opening move. Perhaps this move
was a bit impatient. } 49... exf5 50. Rh4 Ke6 51. Bh2 Rb2 52. Kd2 Rhb7 53. Kc1 R2b6 54. Bf1 Ng8 55. Bf4 a5 { This outside passed pawn will eventually win the game
for black in classic style. The pawn is untouchable 56. Rxa5? Rb1+ grabs the
bishop. } 56. Rh2 a4 57. Bh3 Ne7 58. Bg5 Kf7 59. Re2 Re6 60. Rxe6 Kxe6 61. Kd1 Nc8 62. Kd2 Bd7 63. Bg2 Ra7 64. Re1+ Kd6 65. Bh6 a3 66. Bf8+ Kc6 67. Bc5 Ra8 68. Ra1 a2 69. Ke3 Nd6 70. Kf4 Nb5 71. Bb4 h4 72. Bh3 Nc7 73. Be7 { White
resigns after making this move in adjournment. There might follow, 73...
Re8! (threatening Ne6+) 74. Bxh4 Rh8! (75. Kg3 f4+) 75. Bxf5 Rxh4+ wins a
piece for 3 pawns, but white's extra pawns are not enough to turn the tide. } 0-1
