Let F be a field of characteristic different from 2 and let φ be an anisotropic six-dimensional quadratic form over F. We study the last open cases in the problem of describing the quadratic forms ψ such that φ becomes isotropic over the function field F ψ .
A quadratic form \(Q\) is called a special Pfister neighbor if \(Q\) is similar to a form of the shape \(P_{0} \perp a P_{1}\), where \(P_{0}\) is Pfister, \(a \in k^{*}\), and \(P_{1}\) is a nonzero subform of \(P_{0}\). The Pfister form \(P_{0} \perp a P_{0}\), which is uniquely determined by \(Q\
