Fischer once famously said, "I don't believe in psychology. I believe in good moves." However, his win in this video vs Larsen is more psychology than anything else. Larsen's disdain for draws was very well known. He'd proudly point out how low his drawing percentage was compared to other grandmasters, how willing he was to take risks to produce interesting chess. So Fischer coyly played a line that allowed Larsen a chance to get a quick draw with Black, correctly guessing that Larsen would refuse the half-point gift and play for more. This isn't the only time Fischer exploited Larsen's aversion to draws. In his famous 6-0 demolition of Larsen that preceded the Fischer-Spassky match, it was Larsen's determination to play for a win in every game that brought on the disastrous result. When you're being offered half a cookie, sometimes it's best to just take it.
Not sure about what you said myself. When Fischer said "I don't believe in psychology. I believe in good moves.", he was talking to a reporter referring to Fischer's actions "off the board", (accusing Fischer of his off board antics used as psychology/distraction), not on the board. Fischer also despised draws,---but usually did not allow a poor position to entice him. :) Myself, I don't like draws or early resignations. I hate collectivism, and I want to see the damn king fall! :)
Why? Let'me be clear: I love Fischer game, but we had a lot of Russian supremacy... and then OK, there was ANOTHER GENIUS... and we had a lot of anothers genius since then... Sorry, but for me it's just propaganda...
Fischer was 125 elo points higher than Spassky, the 2nd best at the time. Neither Kasparov nor Carlsen achieved this advantage at any point in their brilliant careers. Also, neither one trounced their opponents by 6-0 scores twice in the candidates' matches. Carlsen barely won against Caruana and Karjakin. Fischer defeated Spassky 12.5- 8.5. Massacre. Bobby Fischer's path to the 1972 World Chess Championship match against Boris Spassky involved a dominant performance in the Candidates Matches, which were held in 1971. Fischer's victories were remarkable for their sheer one-sidedness: 1. Quarterfinals: Fischer vs. Mark Taimanov Score: 6-0 Fischer won all six games against the Soviet Grandmaster, which shocked the chess world. Taimanov later admitted Fischer's preparation and psychological edge were unmatched. 2. Semifinals: Fischer vs. Bent Larsen Score: 6-0 Fischer repeated his stunning result, defeating the strong Danish Grandmaster Larsen with another clean sweep. Larsen was one of the top players in the world, making this result even more impressive. 3. Finals: Fischer vs. Tigran Petrosian Summary of Fischer's 1971 Candidates Matches: Taimanov: Larsen: 6-0 Petrosian: 6.5-2.5 In total, Fischer scored 18.5 points to 2.5 over three matches, winning 17 games, drawing 3, and losing none. This unprecedented dominance cemented Fischer's reputation as the clear challenger to Spassky and one of the greatest players in chess history.

I think he would beat the computers. The reason is because the computer can only go by historical play. Fischer was a strict study of historical play also, but then he developed his own play, and I don't think the computers can do that. communism depended on historical play also. One "Thinking" individual took it all down with ease. IMO, AI can organize data much faster than we can (and it puts some in the wrong categories because it can not think), but it learned it all from the thinking humans who don't have as good of a memory. :)
When watching/analyzing the best players in the world, I would much rather not confuse the learning process with variations. It would help me the most, to figure out what the best in the world were thinking. Variations pull my attention from the game played by the best in the world. They distract my learning process. And I don't care what anybody says! I dig the glasses man. :)
Awesome video! and it brings back a great memory for me. Back in the day when the Manhattan chess club still existed, there was a large collection of old photographs on the wall of the old masters. Anyway one day probably in the 70s maybe early 80s (heck I go back to when the club was in the Henry Hudson Hotel in the 60's) I glanced at some of the photos and suddenly noticed the one where Reshevsky was playing Fischer in the exact game you quoted. In fact not only was it the same game, but somehow the photographer snapped the shot right after Reshevsky had played Ne8. I thought this was incredible as I knew this famous game and that Bobby was about to uncork Bxf7ch. I mentioned this to the club manager at the time, also a strong player who commented "wow cool I never noticed that" Bottom line was Reshevsky was just sitting there stoically without any clue as to what was about to hit him, a fantastic documented time capsule of an historic chess moment. The club is now disbanded, only the Marshall remains, I just wonder what happened to that photo.
Please don't change the presentation format and it's also a good pace. 👍🙏Those who knock Fischer's peak ELO of 2785 need to realise that he was around 100 points higher than the second highest GM. (Spassky at 2690) Therefore every win for Fischer was only a few ELO points added and every draw was a minus for him. Fischer hated draws and always played to win. The soviet team knew this and were instructed to play for a drawn game against him. The 1962 Interzonal chess tournament was won by Bobby then 18-years-old who went undefeated with 17.5 points out of 22 with Petrosian finishing second on 15 points.
Reshevsky was not a good loser. My favorite story was from the early 1970s. He lost in the Boston Open to a relative unknown named Anthony Miller. Tony, known as Bonzo to his friends, was a prototypical 60s hippie. He played brilliantly in the game, resulting in the Boston Globe publishing the game as a puzzle, "Find White's Winning Move". After resigning after the crushing, unforeseen move, Reshevsky glared across the table at Miller for a bit. He finally said, "You part your hair in the middle, like an ass", and stomped out of the room.
Can anyone answer me why he says the engine calculates at 12:59 that White is "almost a pawn and half" ahead, when normally a beginner would say two full pawns ahead? Is it because of the position?
Its because the Future position, engine see the Future position, and no matters what the oponent play he calculates the material in deep, This means that the engine says 1,5 pawns advantage in the 16 deep moves, or similar deep. I tested many lines and variations tô understand This specific evaluation and my conclusion is that, in a close Future (deep of moves) the evaluation is the Future position material
Esta partida siciliana ya había sido jugada en el campeonato de Sochi (antigua URSS) por los Maestros Bastrikov vs Samkovich, en 1958 (un año antes). Lo remarcable de Bobby es que él era en N.Y. asiduo lector de una revista rusa de ajedrez y por eso sabía sobre este sacrificio..., y Reshevsky no. (Entonces este sacrificio de alfil debería de llevar el nombre de Sacrificio siciliano de Bastrikov, digo yo). ¡Saludos..! ✨️
have a question: How come you haven´t cover the world championship being play in Singapore now??? I really would like to hear your analysis on the games.
it took me about 15 seconds to find the first move 20:32 and the bishop sac i saw in under 2. I'm not well versed in openings. I can beat bots as high as 2250 and yet I still sometimes lose to real players rated 1200. What do y'all think my real elo could be if I buckled down and fixed my knowledge deficit in openings? My rating in puzzles fluctuates between 2600 and 2900 but I don't know if that rating actually means anything.
@@CKSingh-26 lmao, you don't know that fischer was 2917 elo back then, no one could stand against him bruh, gukesh d. on the other hand only got like 2750,theres no way fischer is gon get crushed by a gm like gukesh
@@Smoltess fischer peak was just 2785 bro and that too in chess metric units any 2750+ player of current time can easily beat bobby due to the availability of computers in modern era
8:55 the thing is, in the "soviet golden age" of chess, "the strongest non-soviet player" was significantly weaker than them. this is probably why fischer was able to get away with all his personal antics.
At timestamp 4:20 , why can't black just play pawn to g6? If white queen takes bishop, queens are swapped and the attack is over. If white queen moves to f3, black could just move knight to f6 to block that attack.
I love chess and chess analysis, but as soon as I see arrows overlaying the board, i find a different channel. I see the board, i see the pieces. Who in helk needs these arrows? Beginners?
Yes it was, to say the least, very ungentlemanly, but Reshevsky hated Fischer. He'd been the golden boy of American chess for so long and viewed Bobby as a pretender. Unfortunately for him, Bobby wasn't pretending!
The best chess player in the world is Bobby Fischer, second is Mikhail Tal, third is Murphy, and Kasparov is fourth. This is what I believe through my constant monitoring.
Regarding the final game, whites e5 is always a threat when you play the dragon setup. The retreating knight move by black, to e8 does work fine, but here it doesnt work because black unnecessarily put his own knight on a5 to capture the light squared bishop. You shouldn't even be trying to win that bishop in any case if you are playing the dragon, thats the least valuable piece in this particular opening.
I didn't believe Fischer played Re1 to drive black's Queen to c7 so it couldn't reach f8. I believe you read too much into it....he just played strong moves.
Amazing Reshevsky played so bad and lost his queen. Fischer had a very similar position in a tournament a few years later but didn't even bother winning the guy's queen.
@@Traumatree People always tend to sugar coat it and put it sympathetically, saying he had "mental health issues" or even more dramatically "chess drove him insane!" The real explanation is that Bobby Fischer was basically a complete a -hole all his life and after having won the World Championship he simply grew bored of the game that's all. What's there left to do? He beat the Russians and anything after that was going to be an anti climax.
Regarding the second game, i totally can't understand why the black player should GO ALONG whites plan. If white sacrifices a knight on f7, obviously his only winning plan would be to harass the black king around and checkmate him. So why should black move his king to the center of the board, why not let white win back his piece and take advantage of the fact that white achieved nothing by his sacrifice. White gave up his only developed piece, the knight, and his over developed queen can be used as a target for black's development.
The total time on commentary and possibilities versus showing what happened in the game is way too much... Can't follow the real game with real appreciation with all this other bullshit
interesting topic - annoying presentation: to much of a high pitch in Your voice, to much drama so I get to much disturbed with my low attention span - the tempo, though is great
He can slow down a bit maybe, but I can understand ever word he says clearly. I don't see drama myself, but good emphasis. But I will go watch a trash talking game next. :)
There's a multitude of possible reasons. Perhaps he'd like a well-lit video, but has light sensitive eyes. Maybe he thinks it'll make him stand out. Maybe he's blind! The question you should be asking: "Why do I care?"
Regarding the commentary, the phrase is "in the cards", not "on the cards". Get your quips right dude. Ps you might want to get a different pair of sunglasses. Those are pretty gay looking and way too big for your head unless you and RAY, JOSE and STEVIE have something in common, also, Nd7 is the Hanham variation of the Philidor, much better is Nimzovich's preferred Nf6. There's nothing wrong with the Philidor defense if you play it properly. Put STOCKFISH 16 or 17 on the initial position on infinity mode, running 20 lines, for a nice several hour think, and watch how it rates the best opening moves for white and black at various depths, then do it for the various defenses. You might get surprised.
On the cards is the British way to say it. The sunglasses were professionally fitted at a highly renowned eye care facility, and Nd7 is inferior to exd4. Thanks for watching!
RIP Dad.. you you would have loved seeing this. I forgive you for dragging me to all those chess clubs in my childhood.. and I thought they were boring. 🪴
Bobby Fisher was an American treasure. The best ever. And a moral man.
He was a criminal. In 2004, he was arrested in Japan and held for several months for using a passport that the US government had revoked.
Fischer once famously said, "I don't believe in psychology. I believe in good moves." However, his win in this video vs Larsen is more psychology than anything else.
