I initially considered that the game might have been generated by artificial intelligence, replicating his playing style, as an explanation for the anachronism. However, after conducting some research, I can confirm that the actual player is indeed named Robert Fischer. The game has simply been misfiled under a search for Bobby Fischer's games. Fischer, Robert (fide.com)

At first, I thought the game might have been generated by artificial intelligence to replicate his playing style, which would explain the anachronism. But after doing some research, I can confirm that the player in question is actually Robert Fischer, not Bobby Fischer. It seems the game was simply misfiled when searching for Bobby Fischer's games. Just a case of mistaken identity!
