'The touch-move rule produced a disastrous result for Fischer in his game as Black against Wolfgang Unzicker at Buenos Aires 1960. After 12.Qg3 Fischer touched his h-pawn,
intending to play 12...h6. He then realized that, because of the pin on the g-file, White could simply play 13.Bxh6; 13...gxh6 would be illegal, since it would put Black's king in check by White's queen. Having touched his h-pawn, the touch-move rule required Fischer to play either 12...h6?? or 12...h5??, an almost equally bad move that fatally weakens Black's kingside. Fischer accordingly played 12...h5?? and resigned just ten moves later—his shortest loss ever in a serious game.' - How to Beat Bobby Fischer (2nd ed.) by Edmar Mednis (1997) Dover
