Carlsen is absolutely right when he says Fischer makes it look so easy.I will never stop admiring his games,you can understand every move played,yet no one can replicate
@@honoriuc well Tal was known for crazy complicated positions that aimed to confuse his foes. I saw an agad video about a Tal game and its description was "Tal Takes His Opponent into a dark forest." Fischer was known for his clear and logical play. His moves are principled and do not deviate from normal chess unlike Tal's.
Your dog seems to know more about chess than I do. At 5:00 your dog realizes the position is lost for Ivkov, especially against Fisher, so decides to leave.

It is making me a better chess player as well as making me more and more engaged and interested in the chess culture. Thank you very much. You make the pandemic much more bearable.

There is still something magical about Bobby Fischer's greatest games. They are like fine works of art. One can revisit them over and over again and still thrill to their beauty. It's like Fischer's genius coming back to life again and again and again.
It’s his simplistic yet complex way of getting the absolute most scope out of every piece. He also led the matches so after move 3 the opponent is simply trying to make insane moves just not to be in a losing position. Bobby definitely saw the game differently and I believe is and why was the best player ever
@@NationalSportsEntertainmentNSE very similar to capa and morphy, although Fischer takes it to the next level. certainly one of the greatest geniuses ever and a very courageous man who never backed down from his philosophy of chess and life.
Interestingly queen d8 is also checkmate in 4. But Fischer is not interested in this rather he plays bishop takes f8 which is checkmate in 3. EPIC 😂😂😂😂
If he had , Antonio would've said "Bobby played Queen to d8 and this comes with check. It was in this position on move 44 that Ivkov resigned the game. Why did he resign? Well, this move by Bobby produces a forced check mate in four. King has to move to g7 (only square available), then white plays Knight to f5 with check. The black king has to capture white's light square bishop on g6 (only move available) which is followed with Queen to f6 with check. The black King can move to h5, and white delivers a very nice checkmate by moving the g file pawn to g4. Or the King could move to h7 but this is met with Queen to g7 checkmate."
we never stop learning. thank God. I remember years ago just getting passed, "to take is a mistake". but today still learning "the best move", its almost like the journey is better than the arrival.
Watching so many of these videos by Agadmator I am learning chess history. When Antonio mentions the worse bishop pair in history in the game Kasparov versus Ivanchuk I know what he is referring to. That’s the video, “The only man Kasparov ever feared” 😄. This game with Bobby Fischer was brilliant. From the knight sacrifice at the end and Fischer choosing to finish the game in forced mate in 3 moves instead of 4, just for efficiency I am guessing lol. Fischer is my #2 favorite chess player after Tal.
my favorite moment is always where you see if we can guess the move. I see you do this channel partially as chess media, but also as fantastic practice!
I think this is one of the best channels on youtube. The industry of chess owes you royalties. I hope you are able to leverage your value to the chess community and that you get your due!
Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat. Hope that motivates you. Have a nice day ahead 😊
I love those actors, especially in this film "A Pawn Sacrifice" (I think it is the english name, but I'm not sure... The french name of this amazing film is "Le Prodige"). On the left, we have the actor incarning Boris Spassky, and on the right (Spider-man^^), playing Bobby Fischer's role. Furthermore, on the right, this is the moment in the film where Fischer blundered his Bishop in the first round of the 1972 World Chess Championship match against Spassky, in a completely equal position :)
May I take this opportunity to complement you on your excellent channel. To give you an idea: I stumbled upon this chamnel by accident a couple of months ago, I didn't follow chess or have any particular interest in it. But because of the quality commentary and compact format, chess has become something I follow from time to time. Again very well done. Moje komplimente !
11:25 I FINALLY GOT A MOVE RIGHT. i don’t play chess but i’ve been watching these videos for some reason and i always get it wrong. today was the first time where i paused and got the move right. it’s not a big deal but i’m happy with my little accomplishment :)
As a 1500 rated player, I really appreciate all the principles and insights that you share throughout your videos. It's really like an intermediate chess course and I feel my eyes open and understanding of the game broaden through listening to these commentaries. Have you thought of creating an online course? I would be interested, as would a million other chess pro wannabes watching your channel. Million dollar idea. You're welcome.
I heard Magnus's course was not very popular bc he's not good at all at explaining anything. He can't teach, at all. It's obvious if you watch 5 minutes of any of his videos. And he's at a level somewhere up in the stratosphere where most people can not fathom.

The picture was from the film Pawn Sacrifice, a biography on Bobby Fischer (played by Tobey Maguire), that I just watched tonight. The other man was Liev Schreiber who played Boris Spassky. Some of the chess details in the movie were subpar. Toward the end of the film the commentator says something like "Fischer decides not to go for his usual Sicilian," and in that game Fischer had the white pieces. smh
Well presented Mr Agadmator...but Honestly to say this Game is quite complex and difficult unless you are above 2200 fide rating .....Fischer's Calculations were stupendous .....
maybe worth mentioning that in that 1st U-20 championship, the only other player that turned out as a top player later on was Bent Larsen; he only finished (shared) 4th place.
Thank you for finishing the game and showing the variations cause that is important (at least for us average players) to see the pattern. To be fair, i would have captured back lol. 13:35 ps.: often when i got totaly winning positions like that, i miss a mate in 2, 3 or 4 and blunder the game, cause i´m an excellent blunderer. Bishop Pair ^^ 10:37
Spassky was played by Liev Schreiber, who has never portrayed Wolverine (aka James Howlett), so your joke doesn't work. Works for Tobey Maguire though...
"To take is a mistake!" -- Thank you for that golden nugget. Havn't played chess in almost 2 decades and your videos have me hooked again. When did they start the A1 instead of Queen Rook 1? I'm feeling old and I'm not that old.
Although I am old enough, I never had the opportunity to play Fischer (it would have had to have been in a simultaneous exhibition he might give). Despite that, I know exactly how such a game would go. Here it is with Fischer as White: 1. e4. Black resigns Clearly, I was in a hopeless position!
The day my father and I fought in his kitchen was a notable day. And any outcome was going to be empowering for both of us. If you really think about it. I haven't spent a whole lot of time with him lately. But when we do, not nearly enough gets said. He taught me some life lessons when I was young that turned out being 100% accurate at 40.
12:40 ? "a nice knight sacrifice" BUT the black queen is not obligated to capture that knight. Couldn't black move the queen along the diagonal and get back into the game?
The American Chess Congress was the official sponsor of the BOBBY FISCHER INT’L CHESS PARK proposed to be built in Santa Monica to honor the only American to have won the World Chess Championship. Bobby had an impressive career and for many is considered the greatest in chess. He began to study chess at the age of six and became a voracious student of the game. Fischer won the United States Chess Championship at the age of fourteen and at fifteen became the youngest Grandmaster at that time. In two consecutive years, he won the United States Chess Championship with a perfect score and has held the title eight times. In 1972, he captured the World Chess Championship with a decisive lead. In 1975, the Soviets and the International Chess Federation [FIDE] claimed the title on forfeiture in what is still a controversial issue and thus began the FIDE World Chess Championship. In 1992, Fischer emerged to play a rematch for the real title and won in good fashion. He died in 2008. The chess tables at the foot of the pier in Santa Monica, California are known of internationally. It was the former site of the old Santa Monica Bay Chess Club. Bobby first played in Santa Monica during the Piatigorsky Cup [a strong international tournament] in 1966. When Fischer lived in Pasadena in the late eighties, he would delight many with his visits to the tables. For these reasons, the tables have been selected to honor a great American chess hero.
at minute 11:09 of the video, if Knight moves to E8 with a tempo on the queen, queen has to move, then simply Queen to G7 is checkmate? instead of Bishop captures on G6 i mean, or am i missing something?
You have not seen my games to know the worst bishop pair

For my part, I saw the worst pair at The Vatican.

someone asked Carlson what chess master in history he wanted to play the most. His answer was Bobby Fischer.
That knight sacrifice at the end to literally just keep the queens on the board so he could mate was amazing!
I'm pretty sure in old times it's standard practice to sacrifice a horse to mate. Oh we're talking abojt chess....
Not amazing to Fischer.

Yeah, it looks totally wrong at first, so the beginner would probably never consider it. Ivkov may not have anticipated it either. My guess is no.

Hey, the DA could use that line on Harvey Weinstein in closing: "It was in this position, she resigned."
I for one love the feeling of "it is as of this position we've got a completely new game". Brings me hope, idk
Why not...'for all those who are enjoying the game' or 'so yeah'
When Bobby Fisher gives you a piece for free, you pay for it later at a much higher price.

Yep, that's the Fischer price.

@ThunderNorse yes!!
That book holds great teachings about chess, which is the most peaceful kind of war I know
Tactics win battles, strategies win wars.
"Offense wins games, defense wins championships."
A common NBA saying.
No big mystery to this game. Black spends eight move retreating and then : "Tactics flow from a superior position."
