Bobby Fischer started out like a ball of fire, registering 2½ points out of 4 with a draw with Benko, loss to Petrosian, and wins against Keres and Gligoric, then he suffered at the hands of Tal, Olafsson and Keres, and may have a loss with Smyslov.
It seems they have found his weakness—positional chess. They are not trying to run over him, but are instead squeezing him to death positionally.
Four losses in a row could be extremely discouraging for a young man of 16. Let's hope he snaps out of it because he can still make a respectable score.
