    Position after 11...Qh3.
12. Bg5
   This brilliant conception is nevertheless unsound, as I will endeavor to demonstrate in these notes.
a6 13. Ba4 Bd7 14. Bxf6 gxf6 15. Qxe4+ Kf7
    Position after 15...Kf7.
16. Ne5+ fxe5
    Position after 16...fxe5.
17. Rf1+ Ke7 18. Bxd7 Kxd7!
    Position after Kxd7. Since this move appears to lead to Black advantage, White should consider his alternatives.
19. Rf7+ Ke8
   This loses.

   A brilliant game, beautifully contested by both players, particularly in view of its being played at blitz. But questions remain about the objective merit of Fischer's 12. Bg5. Interestingly enough, Matulovic and IM V. Milanovic recently produced a Schliemann survey, Spanish Gambit (Belgrade 1997). There they quote this game as far as 22. O-O-O, showing a win for White, and taking no note of any sidelines.
1-0

   My opponent in this game was Rod Guehn, a resident of Paoli, Indiana. Paoli is in the hilly and beautiful, southern part of that state, about 50 miles south of Bloomington.

    This is widely considered to be the main line.
Qxf4 10. Ne5+ c6 11. d4 Qh4+ 12. g3 Qh3 13. Bg5
    Position after 13. Bg5. White plays an extraordinary, unbooked move, with strange echoes of Fischer-Matulovic. White sacrifices a piece with almost enough compensation.
cxb5
   Nothing else is good.
