People today don't realize how HUGE this event was back in 1972....the whole world was watching this...
Yes, I remember. World chess now has to be followed on the internet. Now, few, everyday people know when a world chess championship match is on. However, this match was headline news for many days. Everyone spoke of it. I suspect, it was the drama of east v west, viz a viz the cold war that inspired the media. Chess club memberships mushroomed. Many schools had chess teams and inter school chess leagues.
Yes! I was a seven years old in Colombia and I remember my uncles following the matches.
Perfect speed to watch and enjoy the game...... more........
Nope. You need to pause after each move and look at all of the possibilities. This was not a blitz game.

@@farleymusclewhite411🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 my enlightened brother spends 11 hours watching a 6 minute video (I watch on 2x speed) how cool and smart!
😢
Bloody noises of the moves. Crap
Finally a channel without an annoying commentary.
I’m always amazed how even when Fischer doesn’t have the initiative he almost still always never has a totally passive position. He somehow always seems to bring about exchanging his worse pieces off.
This game brings back many memories for me. My grandfather had had a brain accident and was recovering. He was a very good chess player. At that time the world championship was being played and the plays were published in the newspaper. I was only 6 years old and I was just learning chess. With my grandfather we recreated the plays between Boby Fischer and Spassky, and my grandfather explained each play to me. What a thrill. He could move with difficulty but he was happy playing chess with his grandson. Greetings from Argentina.
R.I.P. Bobby. You were/are the greatest.
Bobby Fischer beat the weakest world champion Boris Spassky 17 wins 11 losses! Capablanca would beat Spassky 8 wins 6 draws zero losses!! Carlsen would beat weak Spassky 6 wins 6 draws zero losses! You can lose 11 times against the blunder maker Spassky!!

We cannot compare chess champions in different times in history. These historical comparisons lead to wrong conclusions. What made Fischer unique, was his deep understanding of chess in general.
@@mehrdadsalimiclassicalpersianv You are right. It is so beautiful how Fischer reacts and generates his game. We cannot describe it in words, we can only admire his genious. Thank you for answering. Franc Waller
So many gigantic internationa competitions going on in '72. Summit Series in hockey, chess championship, Olympics. What a year.
Ice hockey gigantic??? Not true! Canada have 650000 hockey players today! Russia have only under 100000 hockey players today! USA have 500000 hockey players today! Canada and USA should have 11 players who have scored over 800 goals like Ovechkin today! Football( Soccer) have 250 million players vs Canada 650000 players that means The Soccer All Stars would beat Orr Gretzky Lemieux easily 100 game Series 93-7! Football(Soccer) have 4 billion fans around the world! Cricket 2,5 billion fans around the world! Only hockey player ever had fans was Russian Kharlamov 225 million fans in Former Soviet Union in 1970s!!
DAMN! I was nervous just watching this. I can imagine how Spassky must've felt.
He should have played chess in fact ... may be digestion disease that day ? Never saw a GM playing so poorly ...
Fischer is the greatest player of black in history surely. The Sicilian, the pawn strategy, the sheer command of the board. His confidence with the pieces just overwhelmed Spassky. Sometimes it's more than just chess! In Fischer's case, it's cognitive mauling of the opponent.
“Sheer Innovation”, that is what Fischer is all about.
Fischer is not a just a collection of memories from the past games. He is a God in the cognitive limitlessness of human race. He is a proof to infiniteness of human cognition
@@mehrdadsalimiclassicalpersianvy porqué NO TUVO EL VALOR de defender su título.
Qué clase de campeón es aquel que no defiende su título? 🤔
I don’t know French language. Let’s both talk in an international language, so that we could communicate.
@@mehrdadsalimiclassicalpersianv It's Spanish lmao.
A very cool game. It takes on a different line than the ttypical right from move 3. That creates a wide variety of unique lines and play throughout the rest of the game. Fischer choice to sacrifice the bishop for the 3 pawn numerical advantage and then see how he leveraged it was fun to watch also.
Gone over several times. So much to see and enjoy.
3:03, for like 8 moves I guessed wrong, Fischer was so subtle to get the attention and heat, off of the suspicious offense, and then he walked it right back into the corner like nothing happened.
Wat a battle, Bobby Fisher is 1 of my Favorite Chess ♟️ player of all times! Thanks for the videos nakama friend Shalum!
What a suite of blunders from Spassky you mean. I would has won easily again Spassky myself if he plays like that !!
(not reducing the merits of Fischer which is a great player, but this game is not a good example. It's an easy win for him.)
@@tontonbeber4555 You must be thankful that you can comment on such a great chess match, even though you've never known how to play chess.
@@Asdfgadv33423 I admire Fisher as a great player, but that day it's more Spassky who lost the game, so many blunders ...
great game. Fisher got so many of spasky pawns yet spasky was almost able to come back
Fischer was like, "Take my pawns again TAKE... MY PAWNS... AGAIN. I dare you! I double dare you, MF'er! Take my pawn one more GD time."
Great game ?? I would say complete failure from Spassky.
Lot of Errors both sides! That is why this not one of the greatest end games!!
Overwhelming brilliance!
This matchup was a safe surrogate for the era's coldwar standoff. Ironic that chess's manipulations & tactics were very analogous to the geopolitical machinations of the time.
Can someone please explain how it ends? Why he resigned? Is the loss inevitable?
Black is close to getting 2 pawns exchanged for a queen, with support from the rook up top.
From me view it looks like he can still take the two pawns and remain with the advantage of the bishop rook combination
White’s best next move is Rf4. The bishop cannot take f2 as let in the rook to d2 with check then to d1 and the a pawn queens. Black still wins by taking the bishop, and Ke2 follows. The f pawn will cost the rook, but pawn ending is won.
An American kid watching back then, I was rooting for, "our side." An old man now, I find myself pulling for GM Spassky., tho of course know the outcome. Two gentlemen, I trust had utmost respect for each other.
Spassky was more aggressive and opportunistic, but in Fischer's moves you could see and sense a calmness and coolness but with clear game plan. Amazing world class chess players to watch, learn and behold.
What are the next moves that force a win? Would be nice to know that
Spassky overlooked the winning move, BxR. He could get the rook to A1 to prevent Fisher from queening.
Great, fantastic and immortal Bobby Fischer!!! Respect forever!!!! 👍👍👍
Classic 13th game of this match
Not enough adverts
Interesting game, but not the first one between these two for sure. I’m not sure if they play this game like ever…
El genio de mijai tal
Move 43, Fisher promotes the pawn and it's over.
At this slow speed it’ll take a week to go through the game.
Reason why I play alekhine cos of Fischer. Still can’t believe Fischer won with his rook tied down on g8 and Spassky king and rook still not able to contain Fischer’s pawns.
It would be helpful to know which game this was in the match. Fischer won 7 on the board, lost 2 on the board, lost 1 by forfeit and the rest were draws.
This is game 13, an Alekhine Defence, which took Spassky by surprise. Spassky fluffed many chances to win with an obvious early pawn push and succumbed in the endgame. Despite Spassky's mistakes, this remains one of my favourite Fischer games.
Because of this match I took to playing chess at a competitive level. Never looked back.
Chess has been a good friend to me over the years and I've started playing speed chess online in the past couple of years, which has, if anything, made me a better player than I was 51+ years ago. Happy Chessing: R🙊😊😻💕🎉🎂.
@@ricardodogfishtiger8582 nice story! Good luck in your future tournaments!
Rh8 was a crippling move that was missed
Ya❤
Don’t get Fischer’s Queen sacrifice at 10:25. Am a novice but can anyone enlighten me?
Was it a (horrors) a blunder? Can’t believe that.
Spassky had the chance to win.
If he'd played chess maybe, but I don't now what he did ... just pushing wood ... 1600 ? 1800 ELO is a maximum of his level in this game.
I know less than the minimum about the game but what are the numbers next to the name? Some sort of tournament “ID”?
FIDE rating
@@user-jl6fd2vc6z that’s helpful 🤦🏻♂️
Arpad Elo tough wrongly that the chess rating average is 1400 and standard devotion SD=282,8 The correct numbers are the chess rating average is 1650 and SD=256 correct numbers we need 10000 players and best is 2600! We need 100000 players and the best is 2720! In Hungary they have 100000 chess players! Arpard Elo numbers gives wrongly that 1000000 players and best is 2582! In Hungary number 9th is 2582! Hungary's best is 2760! The chess metrics founder The stanford honor Jeff Sonas was using wrong standard devotion SD=166 Stanford is ranked number 3rd best mathematics university in the world! Really Shocking! How Arpad Elo got this wrong SD=282,8 so we get 200x200+200x200=80000 and square root 80000=282,8 Really Stupid Arpad Elo!!
Elo his numbers gives 100000 players and best 2582!!
Adverts in 12minute game,you absolute Heathens
Pay for premium. Worth it.
Even after the game spasky looked at the board not believing he ha a rook tied up by the pawn and bishop.
Rook, h1 to h8 by Boris at 10.45 would be interesting. Bob had no answer then
at 10,08 spassky should have taken the pawn in the middle and cut the chain but he wanted to keep his pawn
The greatest chess player of ALL TIME and you're spelling his name wrong ! ... it's FISCHER !! There is no Fisher in chess.
No player is the best player of all time.
Whos saying its FISHER??
He way but now it's Magnus, he will never be surpassed.
Scroll to the top of your screen and search ‘Magnus chess.’ Enjoy.
I would want to play like bobby fischer❤
You would be a millionaire :)
This match had to the varied type of openings/defenses of any match ever played. All to keep Spassky with all his prep and assistants off balance. Just tremendous prep on the part of Fischer!
2:13 bishop to b4 would have been an interesting line, pinning blacks e pawn and supporting c5 for the knight - I’ll have to research this game and the analysis that was done if white makes this move
This fischer guy seems pretty good.
WAS !
Rook D1-C1 allowing the king to move back to the D file was a bad move
Yes but the move of the bishop just after is even worst. Probably the worst move of all time in a world championship.
👍👍👍
Isn’t this game 13?
Should never have got to this on move 25 Spassky played Qc3. Instead e5-e6 gives at least a draw, with more winning chances for white than in the game. Surely the point of the previous move Nc5 does anyone know why Spassky did not play e6 ?
The Fischer King !
I'm confused. Wikipedia & my memory both say Fischer resigned in this first game. I'm also confused because it looks like he could have drawn the match. Please advise! Thanks.
This is game 13 of that match.
7.43 pawn promote to queen rook takes queen rook takes rook checkmate?
Why resign? I'm not very good, but it looks like:
A) 1. Bxf2 Rd2+ 2. Ka1 Rd1+ 3.K b2 a1(Q)
B) 1. Kxb3 Rxd4 2.Rxd4 a1(Q) ----- if Kxa2 Fischer takes the rook and has an easily won rook+pawn v. king.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Una apertura de Bobby muy arraigada.
Amazing game
didn't get 90% of the moves, this is the time i realized chess is not for me.😊
Don't take this game as an example, it's no great game, completely asymmetrical. Fischer was the only chess player on this board.
Why doesn't black move pawn to A1 and promote at 7:40? Seems like a game winner. Even if white immediately promotes theirs you gain a queen after exchanging your rook for their promoted pawn. Which leaves black with queen/rook/bishop with pawn advantage vs rook/rook/bishop
Rexd5+ (black loses bishop and has to move king), Kc7 (king can no longer take pawn on d7 because it’s covered by the rooks), Rxa1 (black loses promoted queen, and can’t take back on a1 because white’s bishop covers that square while also covering d8, white’s queening square), Rg8 (black has to preserve his rook and cover d8), white queens on d8, black takes, white takes. White is now up a rook and bishop. So basically white’s passed pawn had to be taken on d7 or the game was lost.
Why did spasky did not take rook? I could not find out the line.
with the bishop? I played that in stockfish as that was the best move from the analysis, then set computer vs. computer and it came out a draw. 3 pawns and rook on both sides, draw by repetition. But it took 27 moves.
Me elo 850 demands full game😡
IF Spasky was not Great, then Fisher's , ONE and ONLY World Championship MEANS NOTHING.
Spasky MUST BE GREAT in order to make Fisher GREAT
PERIOD 🇺🇸🦈
😅
I don’t get why Spassky resigned
Yeah, good question.
So at this point he cant move king. If he moved bishop away from rook, fischer can move rook down to check him and then mate in 1. The only option is keep moving rook but really no chance for him to beat fisher.
@@hn285 King to A3.....
@@jeff-9608can’t stop the pawns
@@zonoka9609 ah, yes. Gotcha👍
5:32 why he didnt take H8 ??
Mis gibi 2 kale ve fille göbeği tutmuş neden dagıtsın? Hem vezir olmaya 2 kare kalmış can sıkan piyon da var korumada
Maybe the bishop position is too important to lose…
Spasky played.like a rookie several movements
Doblo peón Boris
Move 43, Fisher promotes the pawn and it's over. 10:41
No.
Rookie move by Spassky at 5:19>>> free bishop
WHAT free bishop??? Are you BLIND?
Not sure why he resigned; he was winning
Sorry ? since 71. Bc5 ?? (and I'd gladly add 5 more '?'). Probably the worst move of all time in a world championship. Even a unclassed club player wouldn'd do that blunder.
Are you STUPID???. He was dead lost!!!
Bobby win in this game!
Why not Kxb3 at the end instead of resign?
Rook takes bishop...then pawn promotes to queen. Game over!
@@TheRomanianWolf but white bishop would take the queen at A1 (D4xA1). I think Black would take the bishop first with the rook, d7xd4, then if black does e4xd4, the pawn would be free to go to A1, yes? and if White's king took the A2 pawn instead, black's rook would take white's rook and then the pawn promotion F2 -F1 would be easy.
@@tjmozdzen yes, rook takes bishop first (removing the defender), then a1=queen .
What's wrong with Spasky if he had put his rook on F4? White King protects against one promotion and the rook will protect against the other one
What timestamp?
Why didn’t he take the rook on h8 with the bishop? Can someone explain?
Wondering the same myself
I guess you mean at 6:19. I don't see any immediate mate in two or anything, but my guess is that if he plays bxh8, Rxh8 and that bishop is no longer around to cover a1, nor block black's K from e7, nor cover d8. White's passed pawn falls whenever black wants, and a white rook must be assigned to cover a1. I would still lose as black, but I get some notion that black can advance pawns b and c before white can get his K over there and play Rxa2 or Rxa1.
RxBd4 Rxd4 - Ke2
Promote pawn @7:40 - check mate
Are you STUPID?? What mate????
Спасский не увидел победу!Надо было шаховать ладьёй,потом забрать ладью Фишера и делов-то?
Ist das in Echtzeit?
Nein!, LOL.
Bobby Fischer ❤❤❤
Move 43, Fisher promotes the pawn and it's over. Then, Spaasky flubs on move 69 and 71.
Lol...queen at 46...but 20+ moves before "flub"....means it wasn't over at move 43.
Might want to choose words better
71. was probably the worst possible move in that position ... it's a -90 evaluation on stockfish. Ununderstandable at that level ... maybe some medical problem ? digestion ?
11:11 Rc3+ (instead of Rd1+) would have saved the game.
11:11...rc3 to black king d3 to e2….pawn on f file unstoppable...pawn on g7 will be abandoned ....just resign as a pro...gg
I must have said "wow" about 25 times watching this game.
10:44 what if Spassky played Rh8 here ?
Pawn to c3
Why resign?
Too may pass pawns on bobby side..bobby was all the way outta control
Because it‘s over.
@@chrishimmelmann Not an explanation.
6:34 Can some explain why Spassky can’t take the Rook with his Bishop?? It’s been hanging for a few moves
At 6:34 white was IN CHECK, that's why it pushed that pawn.
Brw., "Fischer" is German for "Fisher". 😁
3x 12:28
The best
Is this the game that was adjourned and supposedly analyzed as a guaranteed draw by the Soviets
Fischer would have done the same to Karpov
Come on! Fischer beat the weakest chess World champion Boris Spassky only 17 wins 10 losses! Capablanca would beat Spassky easily 8 wins 6 draws zero losses! Carlsen would beat Spassky easily 6 wins 6 draws zero losses! Fischer beat Spassky 10 wins 15 draws 5 losses in 1992 at age 49! Spassky was only 162nd world ranking and rated 2558 in 1992! Fischer score 58,33%! So we get Fischer rating 2617,78 in 1992 at age 49! Lasker won the New York tournament in 1924 beating world Best scoring 2875 elo at age 56! Fischer 2617, 78 vs Lasker 2875! Crazy lunatic Yasser Seirawan claiming wrongly that Fischer was world record power and form in 1992! The highest tournament elo rating score is Fabiano Caruana 8,5/10 StLouis elo 3080! Karpov 11/13 Linares 1994 elo score 3040! Alekhine in San Remo 1930 elo score 3040! Fischer and Kasparov their Best tournament scores only 2990!

Fischer vs Larsen game one in 1971 Fischer played Bishop f3?? Bishop d6! wins! Fischer vs Spassky 1966 olympiad Queen a6?? Rook e3! Wins s! Karpov have won over 160 super grand Master tournaments! Fischer won zero only inter zonals 1962 1970! Fischer was second in 1966 Santa Monica 1966 behind blunder maker Spassky! Fischer did not won Havanna 1965! Carlsen is 100xtimes better than Spassky and Geller! Carlsen would beat Fischer 30 times easily! Stockfish 16 would beat Fischer 1000-0!!
Karpov 3040 best tournament! Fischer only 2990!
It looked like he was toying with him at the end.
Go A1 it was mistake must eat pawn it was lucky to Bobby
Spassky committed a big mistake. Don't think this is a "brilliant" game, from Fisher side. Just a silly move from Spassky side followed by a big mistake. Anyway, thanks for the upload. 🙄😳🥺🆗✔️
People always seem to play big mistakes against Fischer. Spassky almost never made blunders like this against other opponent, at this point of his career.
Hey
💕💕😍😍💗💗
Did he lose his queen by mistake?
No . That knight was a monster and couldn’t be left there
10:44 why didn't spassky play Rook to h8?
Fischer would have simply ignored it as he wouldn’t have taken it . Allowing him to queen his pawn first. Then he’s queening his other pawn as it’s protected 👍. Spassky would have certainly known that
It starts with King F7E6. I still think what i watched... How u played with your King in this way in a chess championship finale. King walk around in table with pawns as if a morning walk in a garden... LOLLLl. How u win a championship finale with a king. U must protect your king Fischer!!!! it is not made for take match Man..And u are not a legend, u are also so cool
What a horrible game by Spassky. He had multiple opportunities to take Fischers rooks yet never did and I’ll never understand why.
Chess is a dead 💀 god Caissa ⚘🌚👍Rest in the Good News ⚘ Okay bye
Так кто победил?

after watching, forgot who was white and who started black
Fischer is black in this game and hence won the game.
No, it wasn't. Fischer acted like an ass and was a disgrace. The Russian played with dignity and honor.
