Kürtőskalács
Budapest, 1993. Judit Polgár and Robert James Fischer. “The photo was taken in 1993, not much after the Fischer – Spassky rematch. I was 17 at that time, and I remember Bobby didn’t want to play a classic game against me at home, because he wanted to have a big, open match against me, and wanted that one to be the first time we really clash”, Judit pointed out.
