Fischer with the White pieces used 1.e4 a lot throughout this time period but shocked the whole world in the “Match of the Century” when he played 1.c4 and was transposing into mainstream 1.d4 opening territory.

In general, Fischer had particularly dangerous systems set up for the Sicilian defense involving his early Bc4 move which even the Russian’s feared so much so, that they would not even play the Sicilian Defence against Fischer. But also Fischer towards the 1972 match would play some surprise systems with both Black and White such as the Alekhine’s defence and also 1.b3 with White. He was making himself much more of a “moving target” or “Unpredictable enemy” as the Art of War would recommend, and he took on the entire Soviet Chess machine.

In general, against the Ruy Lopez, we see amazing ideas and concepts such as Ne3-d5 being used to liberate the White pieces and gain dangerous imbalances from otherwise seemingly very even positions. We also see on occasion Fischer using the Exchange Ruy Lopez with great effect at the Havana Olympiad.

In general, against the Caro-Kann Fischer would usually adopt the two knights variation. But on occasion have other systems to use such as the exchange variation.

In general against the French defence Fischer, would sometimes play the Winawer variation and sometimes just play a Kings Indian Attack.

Against the Pirc/Modern defence Fischer was particularly dangerous with the Austrian Attack.

Fischer’s Opening systems with the Black pieces

Against 1.e4 Fischer was a major exponent of the Sicilian Najdorf and provides plenty of fantastic game examples for any chess player wanting to fight with the black pieces against 1.e4. Fischer played a great influence on Garry Kasparov in also favoring the Sicilian Najdorf.  However Fischer also experimented with the Alekhine’s defence which had the effect of making Fischer a more unpredictable opponent. And also other flavours of the Sicilian defence would be employed by Fischer in the 1972 and 1992 matches against Boris Spassky.

Against 1.d4 Fischer mainly played initially the King’s Indian defence. But then we see also numerous examples of Ficher playing other openings with black on occasion especially the Nimzo Indian defence and the Modern Benoni defence.
