Samuel Reshevsky was a very interesting fellow. He was very very good at chess for a very long time - over 50 years. This is impressive. We have seen several of our Favorite Chess Legends ascend to elite heights for a few years, but then for whatever reason they fall off, burn out, go crazy (sorry Bobby) etc. Since I will never be a Grandmaster I am trying for duration myself - to enjoy the game of chess my entire life. 😊
Curiously enough, it's apparently quite decent for Black to meet 11. Bd2 with 11...fxe4 12. Nxe4 Nf5, even though it gives White two extra tempi on Reshevsky-Fischer. (I recalled a book from 2009 giving it as leading to unclear positions.)
At 6:52 could fisher player bishop f6? It’s unclear what’s happening after whites queen moves (because of bishop g5 threats) but it looks like black has the initiative for a couple of moves after and is gonna force a g3 pawn push weakening whites area
White can answer Rh2 with Rd6+ and Rxh6 if Black doesn´t defend the pawn with his king. Otherwise White will continue to give checks from the side with the rook.
Your channel is underrated, I love your vids especially Fischer's games
Great video as usual. I really enjoy watching historic games from the legends before my era, and you are the best at covering them.
WoW!! Thank you sir for this masterpiece.
I enjoy these kinds of fighting back draws a lot. It needs strongest endgame skills. Nice game with nice commentary.

love your analysis!
Very interesting game. Thank you for sharing it.
Thanks CD
Marvellous 🤩 thanks 🙏
Please note that at 13:45 Kg2 would loose due to Rxf4! Then gxf4, Rd2+, Rxd2, exd2 and white can´t stop the pawn from queening.
Maybe before gxf4 you play rc7+ as intermezzo?
@ Yes, Rc7+ holds the position for white, nevertheless the Rf4 idea is very insightful. It just barely fails to work.
@@chessdawg and @maxdannenberg440 Yes you´re right - I didn´t notice that initially. Thank you! 🙂
Fantastic content

In 1961, Sammy was a patzer in comparison to a not yet peaked RJF.
Bobby was Mr Chess!! His face even looks like a Chess piece!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

16:48 might be a crazy and completely losing idea but at first glance is rook h2 a move for black?
White can answer Rh2 with Rd6+ and Rxh6 if Black doesn´t defend the pawn with his king. Otherwise White will continue to give checks from the side with the rook.
Fact: My MD advised me to start playing chess to get rid of delusions associated with depression.
I enjoyed it, yet hated it. I could just imagine getting a game like this as black and being clueless about the winning ideas
