We’re studying the game between Nigel Short (username: Ural; white pieces) and (possibly?) Bobby Fischer.  Before you listen, study the first 24 moves of the following game:  (30) Guest2563 - Ural (2439) [A03] ICC, 04.03.2001.  The annotation can be found here: https://en.chessbase.com/portals/4/files/games/iccf1.htm
