HeMateMe: Fischer spit on the same American government that was kind enough to fail his physical in the draft, keeping him from being a grunt in the mud in the 'Nam, where he might have been killed. Bobby fischer is the most ungrateful person ive ever heard of who got rich in the USA. Invented by Bobby Fischer (1996). Displacement chess: Some pieces in the initial position are exchanged but the rules remain exactly the same. Some examples of this may be that the king and queen are flipped, or the knight on the b- file is traded with the bishop on the f-file.

They also manufactured the Fisher Chess Sets. George Merrifield a cabinetmaker of Lincoln's Inn Fields specialized in games tables, but also turned some beautiful chess.

Gee <Howard>, you really need to get yourself a computer and some good chess engines. Until then, here is what some engines have to say for both 12.c4 and Fischer's selected move 12.exd6 after 11...Nd5:

A very strange line. Why does Black sac the knight with 12...Nf4 instead of the seemingly more reasonable 12...Ndb4 like Komodo and Stockfish preferred and which Houdini itself preferred at d=28? And with 2R+N vs. Q+P it should be a win for White, even though at the end Houdini did not seem to know how to proceed.
2. [+0.54]: 12.exd6 Bxd6 13.Ne4 Ba6 (here Sherwin deviated with 13...c4) 14.Nxd6 Qxd6 15.dxc5 Qxc5 16.Bd2 Rbc8 17.b4 Qe7 18.Qb3 Bb7 19.a3 Nf6 20.c4 Rfd8 21.Bc3 Nb8 22.Rad1 h6 23.Rxd8+ Rxd8 24.Rd1 Nbd7 25.Qc2 Be4 26.Qe2 Rc8 27.Nh4 Bxg2 28.Kxg2 e5 29.Nf5 Qe6 30.Nd6 Rc6 31.Qd2 e4 32.b5 Rc5 33.Qe2 Rg5 34.Kg1 Rc5 35.h3

White has the B vs. N advantage and a q-side pawn majority even though his c-pawn is currently backwards. But the octopus knight on d6 is strong and can be reinforced by Bb4. So I think that Houdini's evaluation of White's position is more pessimistic than it really is.
Komodo 8, d=27:
1. [+2.13]: 12.c4 Ndb4 13.exd6 Bxd6 14.Ne4 cxd4 15.Nxd6 Qxd6 16.Bf4 Qe7 17.a3 Na6 18.Nxd4 Nxd4 19.Bxb8 Nf5 20.Be5 Bb7 21.Bxb7 Qxb7 22.b4 Nb8 23.Qd3 Nd7 24.Bb2 Rc8 25.Rad1 Nf8 26.Rc1 Nd7 27.Qe4 Qc7 28.Red1 h6 29.Rd2 a5 30.Bc3 h5 31.f3 a4 32.Qc2

After displacing the knight with 12.c4, it's 16.Bf4 which gives White the material advantage. 23.Bxb8 Qxb8 24.Qc2 reducing material further and planning to occupy the d-file with 25.Rad1 and advance the q-side pawn majority was also a possibility (24...Nd4, 25.Qc3). In the final position White's q-side pawn majority and upcoming control of the d-file probably gives White a winning advantage.
