Hello,
	There is a new post on The Chess Mind.  You can read it at:

http://chessmind.powerblogs.com/posts/1187823620.shtml

It begins:

	Many of us think of Bobby Fischer's chess as
	especially sharp, and that's not surprising given
	the dynamic opening lines he played - 6.Bc4 vs. the
	Najdorf, the Poisoned Pawn Variation, the King's
	Indian Defense, and so on. Yet I would classify him
	as more of a "positional" player, closer to
	Capablanca, Smyslov or Karpov than Alekhine, Tal or
	Kasparov. Fischer won more than his fair share of
	tactical slugfests, but it was well known in his
	heyday that he preferred clean-cut, strategic
	solutions to the problems on the board....
