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

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....
