Do join me for a RUclips Hangout tonight - 19.00 (UK). Link below. I'll be discussing the strategy of Fischer-Andersson and where he might have gleaned the idea. Also looking at some of the studies I've been posting here on Community. Plus your chance to ask me questions. The broadcast is open to everyone! Do join me! ruclips.net/video/hz5J6AKAIO4/видео.html
I remember when I first played over this game in Frank Brady's book Profile of A Prodigy, he said that Fischer's simple combination in this game and clear play was reminiscent of The great Capablanca 😇
Thank you for another wonderful Fischer game. I sometimes feel a little irritated by (notably Americans) constantly raving about Fisher in chat channels, and it is true that really strong players can make the game look easy, but Fisher's games for me have an apparent clarity and simplicity that set them apart. Even weak players like me can appreciate those qualities even though we may not be able to plumb the tactical depths of grandmaster play.
Fischer, Karpov, Anand, Carlsen, Leko. Some of the most helpful players to study due to their unbiased universal style. Especially Leko, who while arguably weaker than the other players I mentioned made use of his skill by always striving for maximum clarity and consistency in his play, as opposed to guys like Ivanchuk etc. I was able to move from unrated to 1860 (Fide) just off playing blitz and watching as many analyzed games by those players as I could.
Then you finally get why Fischer is so highly revered and its not just by Americans. I understand that there are lots of trolls online but as the other reply said, Fischer's games have a certain level of clarity (and precision) that make his games easy to understand even by amateurs like us. The other factor that set Fischer apart is that at his prime the gap in rating and strength between him and the #2 is the largest in chess history with the possible exception of Morphy who coincidentally was also American. Cheers!
Absolute masterpiece! Every move that Fischer played from the opening was purposeful and achieved something. For example, in the final couple of moves, Fischer finally captures black's bishop on c8 but noticed that he only captured the bishop when he could managed to keep the black king cut off from the rest of the game. The same thing happened when he exchanged queens! Spectacular!

These were the consequences for Mark Taimanov: "The sanctions from the Soviet government were severe. I was deprived of my civil rights, my salary was taken away from me, I was prohibited from travelling abroad and censored in the press. It was unthinkable for the authorities that a Soviet grandmaster could lose in such a way to an American, without a political explanation. I therefore became the object of slander and was accused, among other things, of secretly reading books of Solzhenitsin. I was banned from society for two years, it was also the time when I separated from my first wife, Lyubov Bruk." The movie about the events surrounding and preceeding the finale against Spassky has still to be shot.

Thanks for Mecking my day.

It must be mentioned that Mecking had heavy health problems that undermined his carreer. Pity, he was really a genius 😔
Thank you for all the Fischer games

Very impressive and intriguing game.
Thank you, Mr.King!

Henrique Mecking is the best brazilian player of all time. In 1977 he was number 3 in the world.
Nice game. It is so remarkable that Bishop was so helpless in this endgame.
Elegant smart explanation. Great analysts make it all seem simple! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I never get tired of Fischer’s games.

Fischer's play reminds me of Karpov - brutal attack but in the end, content with a better endgame. :)
Mecking is still playing and his rating is about 2600.
I feel like Bobby Fischer
Always four moves ahead of
My competition, listen they ain't gonna stop me ever

Who disliked this? I don't understand people
Some people dislike Fischer so much they will dislike this as well. He was a disturbed person and a magnificent chess player
Fischer haters disliked the video I'm sure. Usually, patzers who have no clue about chess.
🇧🇷 Trompowsky e Mecking 🇧🇷
Kasparov mentions that 3.Nf3 is strange, because it allows 3...f6. Do you reckon that the moves where accurately recorded into the database?
I have a strong déjà vu - didn't you cover this game already?
You should inform yourself on how to pronounce the Brazilian name "Henrique".
Nobody cares.
