Slick editing on that E4 opening move. Along with all of your other progressions as a creator and player, I’ve enjoyed watching your development as an editor. Nice!
Jerry, loved the video. Just wanted to say every time you say pop quiz, I sit up straighter in my chair. I've been out of school for years, and it's such a rush. Thank you so much for your hard work.
Speaking of computers, it turns out Stockfish 15 can now solve that one famous chess puzzle that gave engines problems (you made a video on it 10 years ago). It solves it after 1 billion nodes (a minute or two on my laptop). I’m not sure if an online version will cut it for the depth required though.
Sir your videos and commentary are the very best out there. Thank you for your service and efforts. A request, can you post videos for the 60 games of Fischers from his book, my 60 memorable games ?
Interestingly, the one inaccuracy Fischer makes was actually when castling. Maybe he did not evaluate correctly that the endgame was equal after that h3 move! Instead I found (with the help of Stockfish) that he should have given a check on h4 and after g3, he can park his queen on h3 to prevent white from castling there. It can be chased away with Bf1 but then jt drops back to h5 and the queen remains a pest there
It’s fun how Fischer plays the late endgame, he wants the full queen as you say, he wants to end the game asap, perfectionist mentality. Its like saying to the white rook, you should have taken the passed pawn when you could, now that you havent done it, you will never be able to. Yeah I think he must have thought the computer should have resigned before, he could have played Bf3 + and queening in the next move and he chose to give the check in h3 winning the rook, not sacrificing the bishop, I think he wanted to teach white rook a lesson. Very nice analysis as always. Thank you
I played against that program in 1976 when I was a sophomore at MIT. I used a terminal of the Delphi computer lab to access it, late one night. I beat the program by pushing a pass pawn and queening it. At that point most of the pieces were gone. We were even for almost the whole game. It appeared to me that Greenblatt's program was ignoring my pawn pushes and was fixated on its own end game strategy. It took several hours to complete the game because very little cpu time was allocated to it. I think I started playing at 9:30 PM and finally won around 4:00 AM. About 5 years later, I met Richard Greenblatt and told him I had beaten his program. He was impressed. I have never played competitively. However, I have beaten one or two strong players in my time. The Greenblatt chess program I played against was not as strong as Fischer's version.
10:15 does not have to capture knight...bishop and rook for a queen and bishop defends later c3...black did not castle yet and queen check from h3 is met by pawn on g3..so Fisher did well with pawn push to attack bishop on d4..
Have to hand it to Black very strong play so much for white having the advantage that weak pawn that was moved early to protect the other pawn did end up as a negative as you stated nice work by the Bishops
Hi Jerry, I like a lot your material and it really has helped me on a lot of matches. But I wonder, could you do a video explaining how to analice the moves you do on a game? For example the 2 previous videos where you played balck and white with the queens gambit you illustrate the way you analice what piece to move and why and its amazing how you seem to predict your opponents moves and intentions. How do I learn to do that? Could you make a video on that particular matter ? How to move correctly and congruently with what is happening on the board. Thanks again for you great material, sorry for any misspellings
At around 14:30 Jerry asked what now? I have watched many Bobby reviews and I call it putting your brain into Bobby mode. I have seen him many time id the undefended piece in the camp of his nemesis and immediately seek it with abandon and kill it. Bobby mode. Here not so. This is what they call a situation?
I often play ..g6 against 1.e4; then 2.d4 Bg7 3.Nf3 c5. After all, I'm gonna want to play c5 at some point, so if I can get away with it why not here? Got a lot of flak on my chess club, but it's good to see Fischer doesn't consider it bad ^^
This is apparently part of why Fischer enjoyed playing against the Greenblatt computer - it allowed him to play his combinations and ideas out to the end!
Normally I would complain about a 20 minute slow paced video, however, I have watched this twice and saved it for viewing a third time. THAT is a first ever for me and a slow paced 20 minute video. Kick Arse.
Actually, 3...Bg7 is a mistake. Beyond 4.dxc5 which is preferable for white in comparison to a regular Sicilian the positional 4.d5 is better for white
...I'm having real trouble understanding how 3...Bg7 is a mistake instead of a sideline. What does it sacrifice bad enough to be considered a mistake by the third move?
@@Tinil0 I honestly don’t know how else to put it but to fully answer your question I’ll need to write a small book and include a lot of analysis. On the other hand if I’ll give you a short answer it may not explain anything to you. I’ll try to sum it up but I don’t know if I I’ll be successful: First of all, my main point is the comparison between the three possible basic set-ups and their corresponding variations. Those being: 1) a regular Sicilian after 3…cxd4, 2) a Benoni style structure after 4.d5 and 3) 4.dxc5. 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 g6 3. d4 Bg7 3) 4. dxc5 after 4… Qa5+ 5. c3 Qxc5 white is already doing amazingly well. Black’s queen had to move twice and is positioned directly where white can develop whilst further attacking it thus gaining time so even 6.Be3 is perfectly fine. The Bg7 is attacking granite because the c3-pawn is doing a good job. White has open lines everywhere and more space. This is a very simple case of white being better and black literally has zero “compensation”. Black has no tricky ideas, no counter attack, no initiative, nothing whatsoever. However, to demonstrate just how bad it can get let’s continue with 6.Na3! This seemingly innocuous move is actually amazingly tricky to meet. If black just wants to continue developing in normal Sicilian like manner whilst disallowing e4-e5 he may very well choose 6…d6 where we can immediately see why white is so much better (and in fact the computer engine already gives this position a +1) after the continuation 7.Nb5! (Threatening Be3) and here an idea variation to demonstrate my concept can be seen after 7… a6? 8. Be3 Qc6 9. Na7! (Another idea in the structure is 9. Ng5! axb5?? 10. Qb3 threatening both Qxf7+ as well as Bb5 1-0) 9... Qc7 10. Nxc8 Qxc8 11. Qb3 Nf6 12. e5 dxe5 13. Nxe5 O-O 14. Nxf7 Rxf7 15. Bc4 1-0 2) 4.d5 for all pragmatic reasons makes playing the Sicilian defeating the very purpose. White kept the central duo, it will be harder for black to play Nc6, white has more space and most importantly this is a somewhat Benoni structure (Benoni: 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 c5 3. d5 g6 4. Nc3 d6 5. e4 Bg7 6. Nf3 O-O 7. h3 a6 8. a4 Nbd7 9. Bd3) where white has been theoretically proven to be winning. So it could continue with: 4…d6 (4... Nf6 5. Nc3 with a favourable Pirc like / Modern like structure) 5. c4 trans-positioning back to a Benoni. In comparison to the two variations and their corresponding structures mentioned above, the normal Sicilian after: 1) 3…cxd4 (which will result in an accelerated (hyper) dragon Sicilian) is simply far far far more beneficial to black. I’m not going to go into AD theory but the mere fact that black has a game and has counter play should be sufficient to understand why it was better. For instance, after 3… cxd4 4. Nxd4 (4. Qxd4 Nf6 5. e5 Nc6 where black has the usual Sicilian counter play) 4... Nf6 5. Nc3 (5. e5 Qa5+) 5... d6 and we’re back in Sicilian land.
@@BRNRDNCK Assuming you're being serious you have no idea how naive what you just said truly is. Rare is the occasion where anything has a simple, singular, one line only, refutation.
You can copy and paste the game notation and follow along yourself if you want…what’s the point of watching a chess account that breakdown the game, if you don’t want in depth commentary?
Computers can do anything. They are only limited by us. If they are failing at anything it’s not the computer’s fault. It’s our inability to write the correct instruction set.
There is no reason to disregard the notion, yet, machines are unable to play high quality chess, as their are own positions they cannot solve. The notion humans can play high quality chess can definitely regarded as false.
OMG ???? Please just make the moves and explain it, no need to start letting your mind wander into every possible move available, u could have done 3 games?..
Had no idea Fischer ever played a computer, much less as early as 1977!
Thanks, Jerry!
He said the thing he liked best about the Greenblatt Computer was it couldn't resign and so it had to let him carry out his beautiful checkmate 😂
Jerry asking existential questions to the f4 pawn made me sad...
😂🤣😂
Never heard him so angry

I love your channel. Very simple explanations and that smooth articulation. Been here for a long time and appreciate you. Keep up the good work.
I loved this video. Fischer and early chess computers are both fascinating.
Even though it's just one game, I'm surprised that a Chess computer in 1977 had a pretty decent accuracy against Fischer's very high accuracy.

Jerry is a prime example of why the chess community of RUclips keeps me from simply ignoring RUclips.
Always enjoy Jerry's content, but I only have the patience to play it at 1.25x 😊
Such a classy finish, making sure he won with a queen on board
I believe it was actually called Mac Hack, according to Wikipedia
The knight is poison good point had me laughing 😂
Nice
Did Fischer win all 3 games or just this one? Also I though he never played again until the rematch with Spassky.
Didn't play official games.
I often play ..g6 against 1.e4; then 2.d4 Bg7 3.Nf3 c5.
After all, I'm gonna want to play c5 at some point, so if I can get away with it why not here?
Got a lot of flak on my chess club, but it's good to see Fischer doesn't consider it bad ^^
I am convinced Fischer's accuracy is underrated. The apparent inaccuracy is due to his probing GREENBLATT.
Hi Jerry.
11:00
One piece
Interesting game, crazy to see a chess computer be defeated by a human, that wouldn't be possible today
...c5 played twice.
After move 21, what happens if white plays Nd5?
Black takes the Bishop
😎
You finally made a video that actually lead to checkmate instead of a resign for once
+1 point

I though you cannot castle when the either the rock or King is threatened? blacks white bishop attacks h1.
only for king
You can't castle if your king is in check, or your King has to pass through a square controlled by the Bishop. Nothing about the Rook.
Only the king is relevant for that rule, not the rook
Why did you think that?
