I love his coverage of current chess (of course) but Antonio is really at his best when he dives into history. It's what separates his channel from the others. He's a great storyteller. Looking forward to Steinitz.
Agad is a consummate storyteller, with the bard's ability to layer coincidence and happenstance into folklore. Today Agad enables a telex machine to have pride of place in the lexicon of chess history!
I learned computer programming on a telex machine at my high school connected to a local university's DEC PDP-11 minicomputer. Programs were stored on punched paper tape. Until fax machines became affordable in the late 1980s, we used telex every day to communicate with Asian factories.
One amazing thing about this game is: The whole game played around how to capture the double pawn, creating weakness on other sides of the board but with that intention in mind. And yet the double pawn was never captured
Like nimzowitsch said: The threat is stronger than the execution. The threat of capturing the weak pawn dictated the entire game even though it was never executed on.
19:20 - 18th place - I can totally imagine Hans Niemann walking into a tournament with a top hat and a moustache going "Hans? Who is this Hans? My name is....Heinz.....Lehmann"
This is weird! I've started playing the Ruy Lopez and I looked through this game as part of my study -- then I see, exactly a week before I studied it independently, you had uploaded a video of it! Now I can watch your video to check my analysis with yours haha
19:00 but how can white prevent black from playing Nb3, attacking the bishop, and, with the threat of queening the pawn, force white to sacrifice the bishop for the passed pawn, and thereby trade down to an equalish and maybe drawn endgame?
Great Game by Both players actually Fischer slowly but surely bettering himself in the game with the stronger moves Fun game to watch and thanks for all the nostalgic info and thinking Fischer put into the Game Have a Great Day Agadmator enjoy your 4th
The pic from the thumbnail, gray machine; that is a Teletype Corporation Model 28 KSR (Keyboard Send Receive) dates back to the 1950s and I worked on them in the Air Force which kept them in service to the end of the 1980s. Amazing game they played.
It turned out the Fischer's accusations were correct. After the fall of the old USSR, Soviet GMs admitted that the Soviet Sports Committee pressured Soviet players into collusion.
Agadmator: This game was played over a Telex machine. Genzees: What's a Telex machine? Agadmator: And after the game, Smyslov made a telephone call to Fischer to congratulate him. Genzees: What's a telephone call? Agadmator: And of course, Stockfish had not yet been invented, so they had to analyze the adjourned game over the board. Genzees: ??? OK... now you're just trolling us.
Such a great game. Imagine what Fischer could have done with all the training help from chess engines and data bases today? No one would be able to beat him - not even Magnus.
I remember reading in the Gligoric book that Fischer was at a time disadvantage because of the telex but it wasn't explain...do you know why this was>>/?
For your wast knowledge, After Steinitz there were two world champions who played this d3 line in the Ruy Lopez, Capablanca and Smyslov played d3 quite often and with success.
So many times Agad is saying but Fischer says , Fischer said that this is his most boring description of the game amongst the 1000 I’ve watched since last 5-6 years .
Fischer was not a computer! My old computer 32mgh tought 5:22 minutes Capablanca-Reti game move and solved! Same computer tought only 4:37 minutes Kasparov-Keamnik game move and solved! Same computer tought only 1:55 minutes Fischer vs Benko game move and solved! Computers telling the truth Capablanca better than dry safe Fischer! Fischer beat the weakest chess World champion Boris Spassky only 17 wins 10 losses! Capablanca would beat Spassky easily 8 wins 6 draws zero losses! Carlsen would beat Spassky easily 6 wins 6 draws zero losses! The highest tournament elo rating score is Fabiano Caruana 8,5/10 StLouis elo 3100! Karpov 11/13 Linares 1994 elo score 3040! Alekhine in San Remo 1930 elo score 3040! Gukesh 3070! Fischer his best tournament score only 2990! Karpov has won over 160 super grand Master tournaments! Fischer won zero only inter zonals 1962 1970! Fischer was Second in Santa Monica 1966 behind blunder maker Spassky! Smyslov won Havanna 1965! Morphy Tal Alekhine Kasparov had More complex beautiful games than dry safe Fischer! Stockfish 17 would beat Fischer 999-1 easily! Fischer vs Geller in 1967 17:exf7?? By Fischer! 17:Rook f6! Wins easily! And Geller played badly 10 errors in a row! Fischer vs Larsen game one in 1971 Fischer played Bishop f3??? Bishop d6! Wins easily! Fischer vs Stein famous Bishop f5 but earlier Fischer 26:Knight f3??? 26:Knight f7! Or 26:a3! Wins easily! Fischer vs Spassky in 1966 olympiad Fischer played Queen a6?? Rook e3! Or Bishop e5 wins easily!
They 'starved' (it is not true but let's say so) because of american bloqueo, as Washington explicitly wanted to smash Cuban people (as Americans themselves clearly declare in their documents)

He’s the GOAT
fischer vs bill gates
why is this so accurate
😂😂
Yay, exactly. The coloured version of the photo shows remarkable resemblance
ROFL 😂
I believe agadmator DID cover this game a few years back. I won't tell you who won.
I learned computer programming on a telex machine at my high school connected to a local university's DEC PDP-11 minicomputer. Programs were stored on punched paper tape. Until fax machines became affordable in the late 1980s, we used telex every day to communicate with Asian factories.
I did the same in the mid 70s. Stored the programs on paper tape
One amazing thing about this game is: The whole game played around how to capture the double pawn, creating weakness on other sides of the board but with that intention in mind.
And yet the double pawn was never captured
That's is a fundamental element of positional chess. Time invested in defending weaknesses will most likely cause other, more serious weaknesses
@@talphazero1036 That's a more elegant way of putting it :) . This game help me realize this, I will keep it in mind for my games
Like nimzowitsch said: The threat is stronger than the execution. The threat of capturing the weak pawn dictated the entire game even though it was never executed on.
Cool throwback, always happy to see a Fischer game, thanks Agad!
Wouldn't this make it the first "online" chess game?
Probably wasn't the first ever game played over telex
Nope, long time ago already people played games by correspondence
I've been playing online chess since the 1800s
@andyzacek9760 wow, you're really old
@@libilinbulibuli I'm 26
When agadmator posts a Fischer video, it's a nice day!
I could not agree more
"I add status to any tournament I attend" - Robert James Fischer
He even adds status when he plays via telex haha
Bobby leaned russian to study russian chess books. The russian chess school was leading at the time.
A tactical tussle extraordinaire. Bobby doesn't let up for a single tempo.
Totally agree. Especially when I saw the headline - "...crushes..." - rather than a steamrolling, Fischer just crushes with tactical asphyxiation!
Fischer versus Smyslov! With Fischer inspired by Steinitz..a Monday treat!
I find myself watching more and more of your analyzed games. Sent a token of my appreciation for your time.
19:20 - 18th place - I can totally imagine Hans Niemann walking into a tournament with a top hat and a moustache going "Hans? Who is this Hans? My name is....Heinz.....Lehmann"
9:00 "b4 is pretty much the best move in any position...in this game b4 really is the best move..." Only from the mind of Antonio.
I'm laughing in my mind 😂
So cool. Love the telex way of doing moves. Would loved to see pics of that and fisher wherever he was doing the game.
It was played at the famous Marshall Chess Club, not Manhatten CC.
Yes, it was at the Marshall. Frank's wife. Caroline, was still there. I was there for the match, sometimes in the Telex room.
09:40 - 10:15 haha what a mind-game about b4-move for both sides!
and noone touched the b4-square!!
Inredible and hilarious the same time :)
This is weird! I've started playing the Ruy Lopez and I looked through this game as part of my study -- then I see, exactly a week before I studied it independently, you had uploaded a video of it! Now I can watch your video to check my analysis with yours haha

I love it when Morphy gets a mention
Bill has been playing against world chams for a long time. Damn!
I'm convinced. Chess just revolves around b4.
Great Game by Both players actually Fischer slowly but surely bettering himself in the game with the stronger moves Fun game to watch and thanks for all the nostalgic info and thinking Fischer put into the Game Have a Great Day Agadmator enjoy your 4th
lol, there is no 4th in this part of the world
@@mladihorvat in your part of the world maybe not Here it just gives people excuse to set off loud fireworks that frighten the animals
As a computer jock, this brings a big smile on my face 😁
Che Guevara organized this tournament? Wow! That's one of the most interesting things that I've heard in a while! Awesome fact.
Vast knowledge yet again improved!
10:44 after suggesting 1...Kf7, then 2 Nxe5 Nxe5 3 Rxb8 wins a pawn and hits black's b5 pawn. Looks good to me; I suppose I'll check it out later

And by "they" I assume you mean the humans, not the machines.
Borislav: I'm the winner
Garcia: Hold my beer
#AwesomeGame #AwesomeAgadmator
I love Bobby man, he's a beast in chess world. After him I have magnus, capa, ivanchuk, murphy, tal on my list.
Morphy and Fisher greatest Chess players pre engine. Morphe the Great.
The GOAT 🐐
Nice game! Thanks Agad 😊
This one is so complicated!
Love the pawn to b4 story at the end. 😅
@agadmator Who were the 3 players that defeated Fischer
What struck me most were those two prophylactic moves Kg1-h1 and g2-g3. Such command of these small but vital details.
20:01 now I wanna see that game
@agadmator You forgot to show legendary Anand vs Leon Match
Anton Can we have the game Ivkov blundered that hard?
It's the Marshall Chess Club in Manhattan - and it is only open to members.
Telefax was used for a long time, it sends letters instead of Morse Coad
coad
@@MarkEWallace I can't remember the last time I had a coad. Or the flew either.
In 240p resolution, Fischer vs Bill Gates😂
B4 is the key
Hey! Mr. Antonio, why are you not saying "we are back with the good stuff"??, or you missed it!?
It turned out the Fischer's accusations were correct. After the fall of the old USSR, Soviet GMs admitted that the Soviet Sports Committee pressured Soviet players into collusion.
Marvelous game! Never b4 seen
How does moving the knight to c4 put more pressure on e5 when the knight is already on f3 pressuring e5 . Ridiculous .
Bobby Fischer was such a diva, I love it 😂
When will the steinitz saga be uploaded
Im gonna watch before study
The doubled unsupported D-pawn the Smislov allowed put him on his heels for the rest of the game.
Agadmator: This game was played over a Telex machine.
Genzees: What's a Telex machine?
Agadmator: And after the game, Smyslov made a telephone call to Fischer to congratulate him.
Genzees: What's a telephone call?

@jclaiborneii - maybe?
Hey, @agad any saga going on?

How did the manage the time controls?
With stopwatches.
Telex featured prominently in "Good Morning, Vietnam"
So many times Agad is saying but Fischer says , Fischer said that this is his most boring description of the game amongst the 1000 I’ve watched since last 5-6 years .
It's always b4.
The Manhattan Chess Club does NOT exist anymore. I think that board is at the Marshall.
what a fantastic game
"23. b4, best by test."- shung slu
Bobby: I want a $3,000 appearance fee.
Magnus: Three grand? That's all?? Phhhtt!! That's what I tip the Starbucks guy every day.
Moral of the story: Always play b4 your opponent does.
Was this the first online chess game?
Fischer used skynet to take down smyslov😂
Che Guevara and Fischer in the same video❤
More old games please
Kholmov is a strong player he defeated Fischer in this tournament 😁
b4 supremacy 🎉
… “and that’s all there is”
When Fischer played Pachman he had to put a quarter in the Telex machine.
How does a telex machine work?
Bobby "Boa Constrictor" Fischer.
Agad possessed by b4 move😅
You're telling me Fischer used the Telex machine to crush Smyslov under its weight and you're laughing and using it for a title/thumbnail?
Best chess is about history.
Title seems like Fischer a Cold Blood Murderer...
Geller didn't lose a single game?
Not bad.
He got an invitation from Fidel Castro himself, then he is not granted a visa, weird stuff !
US sanctions.
Engine before engines.

And the moral of the story is.... always play b4.
I'm surprised I didn't spot it sooner. Agad is trolling us.
Is Smyslov still alive?
3 seconds research
I used a Telex machine in 1974. Not for chess though!
Invited by Fidel Castro, patronage of Che Guevara, but he couldn’t get visa to Cuba?😂
Fischer accused the Soviets of cheating.
The consensus was that he was correct.
same telex at film tinker tailor soldier spy
AlgorithmFood!
Fischer was right about the Soviet players. Communist doesn't know the meaning of the word honesty.
вАсили Смислов
gg
Fischer was a genius. He also knew who was behind all the worlds problems.
Sheeple: No no, i went to public schools and my IQ is 95 so i know better.
Smyslov is looking too much like Bill Gates...
Communists: Offering thousands of dollars for a chess tournament while their subjects starve.
They 'starved' (it is not true but let's say so) because of american bloqueo, as Washington explicitly wanted to smash Cuban people (as Americans themselves clearly declare in their documents)
