14-year-old Bobby Fischer vs Dr. Max Euwe | The "Unpublished" Game | 1957
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2024
- The is the 2nd of a 2-game exhibition match played at the Manhattan Chess Club New York, 1957 between 14-year-old talent Bobby Fischer, and Max Euwe, the 5th World Chess Champion. This game went unpublished for over 50 years until Frank Brady unearthed Fischer's score sheet of it. Unlike the first game between Euwe and Fischer, this one was a closely contested fight which reached the final phase. Fischer had white, opening with the Ruy Lopez, and in reply Euwe selected an open system. Despite this open choice by Euwe, the game proceeded positionally, where imbalances in material and minor pieces soon surfaced. The game saw Fischer in the driver's seat at the early to mid-game stage, but the Euwe found a way to fight back some in the final phase. What resulted in the end, was a surprise.

I’m old and met and played Euwe as a teenager in Amsterdam in 1969. Of course I was quickly crushed but he was so polite and spent a good bit of time going through my mistakes. I felt so honoured facing the man who beat my hero Alekhine , and thus became, be it briefly, world champion.
The jupiter That’s cool!
Alekhine is also one of my favorites
So..
How old are you sir ?
Lmao just stop
I watch these videos every night and I’m still trash at chess.
You and me both :)
So it's a club.
Same!
Yeah, me too!
Jimmy Nelson preach
12:14 - "Multipurpose move: flight square and a battering ram".
The way you bring the board alive with your words is what makes this such an excellent channel. Not only a chess channel, but an excellent entertainment channel.
You're the Bob Ross of chess, Jerry.
Mr Max Euwe was being generous, being a gentleman of sorts I guess. Great game, exploiting those light square weaknesses. Thank you, Jerry 😀
Obviously they were nurturing a possible future world champion.
Simplsty and understand the part that you uxshaly have no control on the game. The comp have more
That is "Dr." Max Euwe. Doctors are a little sensitive about their prefixes.
IMO Euwe didn't want to take Fisher's spirit for the game away considering he was young and a great talent
I agree.
"This bishop is just a tall pawn" hahaha
I think he meant Tal pawn!
Tal rolled over in his grave hahah
best line ever
So true, so often!
I think he meant that bishop has the value of a pawn
It's interesting that, 15 years later, Euwe presided over the Fischer-Spassky match as president of FIDE.
I sometimes do the same in my games against youngesters. This is nice gesture which may help them build some self-confidence. Besides I am sure Fischer learnt his lesson he needed from this match. Mr Euwe is a gentleman who, I think, thought the same by offering a draw.
I love your style of explaining things Jerry, thank you. You make complicated positions easy to understand, even for such a relatively poor player as myself. It's also very helpful that you explain why certain moves are not played, as well as why the ones that are played work.
Thank you
Yes ditto; very good commentary !
Very good CALM commentary!
What seksdeth said Jerry you the man, and have a great style. Of all the analysts I listen to you the most
Great respect for Dr. Euwe for that ending.
Euwe has a spot in heaven for teaching Fischer to draw sensibly
And Fischer is in hell, playing the Devil and winning to the great annoyance of Satan's majesty.
I played against Euwe for about 40 years ago in a simultaneous game.
It must have been a few years before he died.
I lost, as most of us did.
Dr. Euwe was very gracious. One has to remember that Fischer, like everyone else, lost games/matches. Even the 2800-rated grandmasters had bad games. I'm guessing Bobby's rating was probably closer to 2500 at age 14.
I thought this game was gonna be a brilliant Fischer win and then the more i watched I was like oh snap he gonna lose then it drew and I’m like dang plot twist
The draw was a birthday gift lmao
Dr. Max Euwe -- ever the Gentleman!
Fisher was still a young lad and Max Euwe showed class, humility, and wisdom in offering a draw despite having obvious winning chances.
I read the title, watched the match (loved it) until "draw offer" because I thought Fischer would win, after all it is Bobby Fischer. But until I read the comments, I had completely forgotten this was 14 yo Bobby Fischer! Utterly amazing!! I think many of you are right, Dr. Euwe was being a gentleman and a scholar to offer a draw to an up and coming Master at Chess. Thanks for the video. Accepting the draw also says a lot about Bobby Fischer, especially for his young age. I have children; as many know, they often have a hard time admitting defeat!
I've never seen a game like this where one side has all their pieces surrounded and paralyzed by the other side (literally surrounded on all four sides). Makes me think of the battle of Cannae where Hannibal baited the Roman army to unsafely advance to a point where his elite troops on the flanks could wrap around and envelop the Romans from the rear. Very cool game.
It happens a lot in Stockfish's games. It's one of the most fascinating ways of playing.
The upside down v shape the pawns and bishop make at the end really reflects the roman central charge, and the light squares around it makes it like trying to stop rain with an umbrella that only has the wires. Also fitting that the destruction of white was about to come from the rear, just like Hasdrubal's carthagenian cav. Great reference
Thanks for the analysis Jerry. I've been watching your daily uploads for a few weeks now and it has been very enjoyable. Your audio quality and speaking voice makes it easy to listen to you for the length of these videos. You do a wonderful job of explaining each player's moves and even the side step exploration of "what if X was played" is enlightening. Please keep up the good work.
Do you have any videos that break down and explain some of the common openings? You normally gloss over those, but for people who don't have a lot of experience in that area, it might be nice to watch a primer video with that sort of prerequisite information.
Thanks again!
You can always find something valuable to take away from each of these analysis videos. Thank you Jerry!
I once played a simultanious game against Euwe i Holland for many years ago.
Nice guy.
@@observersum1180
Nice guy. 😊
Very insightful explanations and scenarios. No dull talk, straight the point. I'm actually sad a like and a subscribe is all I could give. Hope you make a lot more!
I think it likely you're correct in the assessment of Fischer's mindset on accepting the draw. Another possibility, common in very competitive youngsters with great ability, is that Fischer felt the offer was condescending and wanted to refuse on principle - "beat me or I'll beat you". I'll caveat that by saying I don't think Euwe was the type person to be condescending, he was certainly a gentleman.
The palace was surrounded by the black pieces. The white King and Queen had no choice but to agree to the demands.
lol good one
I couldn't have said better myself.
bravo
Euwe perhaps the most underrated WC. Played some beautiful games, exquisite endings and wrote many fine chess books.
He was Sensei.
Euwe is German for 'owl.
agreed, a lot of people forget he is one of the players that created the way chess is played today by prepping lines and studying openings, and a lot of his lines are still extremely usable!
Fischer hated drawing games XD
Especially Pictionary.
What about drawing pictures?
What about drawing swords?
He even hated when an opponent resigned. He wanted the glory of checkmate.
Always excellent analysis. I enjoy your channel very much. Thank you for this great game. 👏🙏
Euwe was a math teacher and lived by stimulating young people.
Bruno Verlinden My great uncle went to jail for something similar

Thanks for publishing this game with such excellent comments.
very gracious of Euwe to offer the draw here. i think bobby was reluctant because he was trying to figure out if he should graciously accept or go down fighting. who knows if he cared about such gestures, being the strong personality he was
Strong? He was an sociopath.
I thank ChessNetwork for these videos. They really helped me improve my games.
I'd say Euwe was a nice guy.
Very well comented and analized video, really learnful and interesting. Thanks!
Hey!!! Thank you so much for all these amazing matches and the commentary. Excellent!!!! Thank you!
Wow, jerry is going all out with content! Thank you man, you are amazing!
Bobby Fischer was only 14 at the time maybe that was the reason i enjoyed it any because it was a unseen game i love Fischer games
Man, this is "the" chess channel! Many thanks from Rio, in the middle of carnival...
Just watched the entire 17 minute 24 second video! Exciting finish!
It's amazing how you can watch 17 minutes of a video only a couple minutes after it was posted! Teach me your ways.
i only watched until 17:10
Great video Jerry! Thanks for all of your great content. :)
Well done! I find your video commentaries much easier to grasp than written articles.
Glad to see a slightly longer game on one of these game analyses.
It was quite Fischerian to be disappointed in the draw, but this is clearly won for Black. Great annotation, thanks for putting this up, very helpful.
But now you know why the history of this game was at the bottom of a pile for 50 years. I can see it. When it came to chess, Bobby just could not throw anything away. :)
Sans his world championship and millions in endorsements. Off the chess board, he was totally ignorant. But that is common for people who spent all their time getting good at one thing.
Interesting thumbnail! Gotta say, I've never seen that photo of Fischer before.
Indeed,in 'die gesammelten Partien von Robert J.Fischer' there's only the first 15 moves.Euwe remembered that the game went on the lines of Botwinnik-Euwe,Leningrad 1934.Thank you very much for this!
Great analysis ... agree that Euwe showed class by offering the young Fisher a draw ... why kick a kid in the teeth when he's already squirming.
That was very nice of Euwe to offer a draw! Jerry did you know there is a video on youtube of Euwe and Botvinnik playing a blindfold game for Dutch television? Its really interesting! I will find the video and post the link as a reply beneath this comment
ruclips.net/video/bAd7QCqHBrA/видео.html
Me too ~ I admit I watch for pure entertainment.. it is all memorization for openings and I don’t have the desire
Good commentary & at pace I can follow with interest. Thank you.
Thanks for the great commentary. Your placement of the "pause here" quizzes are also very enjoyable. Please keep them in your future videos. :)
Thank you, Jerry. Am definitely going to be checking your feature out on a regular basis!
First chess video I've seen a courtesy draw in a pro match. :D Apparently in the first match Euwe thought he 'won on a swindle'... so maybe he draws against someone he knows will soon be his better.
Great video, love from Czechia!
I wouldn’t be able to play a move like g3 even if it won me a pawn. Weakening light squares in an opposite color bishops position is just scary.
Fascinating game, thanks to commentator #1!
There is a big flaw in this story from Frank Brady. Euwe cannot offer a draw after white played Rf1. Black has to make his move first, before offering a draw. Either White offered the draw, or we are missing Blacks final move.
I was playing maplestory 12 hours a day when I was 14
I love Jerry. No idea who he is, but I love to hear him talk about chess
On minutes 12:47 on your video, why didn't Fischer play the h2 pawn to h4? to counter the Black h 7 pawn.
I just love this channel.
ah jerry, you left me in suspense! what happened in the end, with the fischer/euwe match up? i'll have to search for it...
Thank you !
Thanks for this wonderful game!
You do an excellent job explaining the game without slowing the pace too much.
Yours is my favorite chess channel.
I was just looking for a new chess video... Scary timing on the upload, but thanks.
why isn't there more of Euwe's play available on YT? He was a very good player!
it is cause he is an underrated champion, people call him the weakest champion yet I think he might be underrated in that regard. He is what the current champions could build off of because he popularised publishing opening books and prepping lines. I even have a book from 1947 in which he explains lines in the nimzo indian!
In the final position, I would have played Bd3 followed by Qxd3, Qxd3, Kxd3, Rxf1 which ends in 5 pawns and a bishop versus 4 pawns and a rook. Looking at the material I would say that favours black, but even if the a and the d pawn are on white squares, they are very weak. if they would fall, b and c pawn would get too strong...
But as a world champion playing against a 14-year-old I would have at least tried this endgame.
plz tell me if I have missed an important detail, or if my prediction about the endgame is wrong.
you commented about the in-between move, but don't you answer an in-between with another in-between, taking the bishop with a check, then taking the threatening knight with any rook? maybe I missed something.
With interjection of other play, we do miss something. We miss the game that was played and why it was played that way. We are not mind readers, so when the YT guys play their own game, it is because they can't see what was being thought by the players, and can't shut their own game off in their minds. Which is why their study is not good enough to actually win against the people who played the game.
Euwe was a good player, anyway better than Byrne, and a noble spirit, too. I guess he wanted to encourage young Fischer.
I learned English from you. Thank you.
3:25 ur assessment is correct I believe. Even after u take the c knight and black responds with capture of bishop, u take his bishop and it comes with check. He will recapture and u will then capture his knight.
Good stuff. Thanks
honestly I think you have the best commentary on RUclips
And what about this variant?
41. Rf1 Rh2
42. Bf2
and after
42. ... Qc2+
43. Ke1 ... How to develop the attack for black?
TY Jerry😊
I wonder if it would be possible to get one of Tals score sheets...That would look nice on the wall,yes?!
In my opinion, Fischer's 37th move -- Ke1 -- is a bad option, since it allows black to open up the H-file (or loses a pawn), and as we've seen in the game, it has been disastrous. I think a better continuation would've been 37. g4 and then -- depending on what black plays -- consider sacrificing the rook for the Bishop and at least a pawn. This type of imbalance could work for white, since the pieces are well-coordinated, although, I don't know if Fischer would've wanted that, because it may lead to a draw; nonetheless, I think it is a stronger option than Ke1.
Edit: And now, [a second after I publish this comment] I realize it loses a pawn
poisoned pawn. Superb narration !
Very interesting ending! Thanks Jerry
On move 13, tell me again why taking the black knight and forking the Q and B is a bad move? If black takes B on c1, white just takes it with his rook and still has a free knight and the fork. What am I missing?
Wait. At 9:29 F3 is a hot square, hit by the white bishop, so the pawn move to F4 should be illegal. Right?
No? Why would it be illegal? The first move made with each pawn may be one or two squares forward and there is nothing preventing them from moving through a square threatened by an opponent's piece(s).
Fischer always hated draws.
One of his best features.
12:00 As Euwe probably knew Fisher was going to play Rb6 to exchange rooks next move, what's the idea with playing 28 ...Rg6, wasting a move (instead of e.g. playing Qg4 right away)? Are there any subtleties to notice that explain Rg6? Thanks in advance!
Your first assumption was right. White could have had a piece.yes, black had an inbetween move to take the bishop, but so did white. White could have taken the black bishop with check, instead if the queen.
Hi Gerry (Hope that's spelled correctly), the Dutch name Euwe is pronounced like "Ao va" with the accent on the first syllable.
Love your postings, Chig
And I thought Polish names were difficult to pronounce authentically, with 3 times the letters for confusion. :)
14:41. Working with tall pawns. The story of my life.
Hello Jerry.
I'm love watching your videos.
i have a idea that if you prepare like this video from the book is called "zurich international chess tournament 1953"
i belive that would be great.
thanks for your videos.
If I was in Fischer's shoes I would literally jump at a draw offer, especially if I was already in such a bad position if not losing.
What happens if 42.bf2 instea of rf2?
I was thinking a move for Black around move #25 or #26 might have been: …BK7, blocking the White Queen’s horizontal access to the Kingside, thus threatening…QxP mate. Yes, White can counter with RB2 counterattacking the Bishop, but the Bishop can flee with…BN4 and protect the QRP, and counterattack the other Rook!?
Which chess engine and program do you use?
Holy Cow i'm not getting the point at 3:38, isnt 13. Nxc6 really winning a piece?! i mean 13. Nxc6 Nxc1 14. Nxe7+ Qxe7 Raxc1 isnt two N and B for one N and B, the point being that Nxe7 comes with check? What am i missing?
I need to see it two more times just to say anything. But if I watched 100 of these games, 3 times each, maybe I start playing again.
Thanks
Thanks Jerry
6:30 That five move sequence that drops the queen to White's king side, was a killer. Euwe took it and ran with it till the end. Oh bobby!
Blacks Queen to C3 and then white is in a world of hurt. I think it would have been a miracle of Fischer could have pulled off a win in this situation. I would have loved to see him try though.
Well explained!
