      Not entirely true. Frank Brady and John Donaldson have plenty of good thing's to say about him.
      Later on sure, Lot's of unsavoury episodes and some stuff he said was terrible.
      It's not the whole story to just to describe someone as terrible. Unless it's Ivan the terrible or maybe Stalin.

      ​@@Tasmanaut Fischer mother was Jewish (making him according to Jewish law) and his father probably was at well, plus he was personal friends of the Polgars and others. It was just hot air nonsense. I think at least 95% of it was him being pissed at the antics of Reshevsky, who did use his religion as a further excuse to be an asshole.

    Great players of the past might be my favorite chess series at this point. It's up there with Simon William's longer games, John Bartholomew's chess fundamentals/climbing the rating ladder, and it's almost as entertaining as a Chessbrah sub battle.

    It is said that Fischer didn't spend more than two to three minutes on any game in the 1970 blitz tournament. This would suggest that probably Tal thought longer in this game and thus reached a winning position, but then had no time to convert the advantage into a win, while Fischer still had plenty of time left to counter victoriously (although Fischer obviously didn't really exploit his eventual time advantage!?). Sort of like that, maybe. I would have loved to see that live.

    @GMBenjaminFinegold 2800? fischer was at the level of 2900 elo in the year 1972. They measured elo differently in that time, that's why fischer had a lowers rating at that time compared to today's players.

    • @baoboumusic
      @baoboumusic 23 дня назад

      Elo is not a measurement, it's a statistical calculation based on results devised by professor Elo in the 1960s and implemented by FIDE in 1970. So Fischer's rating of 2780 was Elo.
      Now there are various reasons why you cannot compare ratings from period to period as an objective yardstick, but it's not a different calculation. There was a fairly continuous inflation in the late 80s and 90s; and even a bit of deflation since 2000 according to some.

    All of the respect I have for Ben Finegold's chess, humor, and tutelage is offset by his poor physical health and appearance. He tugs on his shirt like that parody commercial by Tim Robinson TC tuggers. I just don't understand how someone born into such wealth and someone who is clearly intelligent is able to allow themselves to deteriorate so much.
