The backstory: Fischer's poor performance in Buenos Aires : vimarsana.com

At the world-class tournament in Buenos Aires in 1960, the then 17-year-old Bobby Fischer — one of the tournament favourites — delivered one of his worst tournament results. Facing Wolfgang Unzicker, an unfortunate touch of the h-pawn led to a quick loss. It was not until many years later that the reason for Fischer’s poor form was revealed.
