Today is my 64th birthday (born on 9th March 1960). Bobby Fischer is and will remain my absolute inspiration and gateway into the world of chess. I was only 12 when he beat Spassky at Reykjavik, and shortly afterwards I was playing in my school team. For all his faults, when he was in the zone, he was almost untouchable. God bless his tortured soul.
Unfortunately we don't share a birthday (and I'm a few years older) but our track records are similar. I'd 'played' for years as a wood-pusher, barely knowing the rules - much less any decent strategy! - until the Fischer PHenomenon peaked (the title match itself, preceded by the Candidates and those brutal play-offs) completely captured me in my late teens. Within months I'd joined a club, bought 'My 60 memorable games' and almost wore it out, volunteered as caretaker for two nights a week at the Sydney Chess Centre, won my first Open tournament. Not long after I joined a second club ("Army Reserve"!) and played A-grade for them before helping to establish a new club in a suburb closer to home. Collected a few prizes over the years and retired a decade later when life got in the way. :) But "Classic" Chess remains one of my first true loves. Salutations Bobby!
Agadmator is a complete gentleman, the level of respect this guy has for chess players doesn’t matter their ratings and how famous they are is something to be admired, even just a name pronunciation, respect is contagious keep it up.
I can honestly say no ones done more than this channel to get me into chess, what started as a weird interested in Bobby fisher blossomed into watching most of the videos on this channel. thank you so much!
I saw a Fischer’s game yesterday vs Spassky where Fischer had 3 Brilliants !! And 12 Great ! Moves is that the game you are talking about or is it a different one ?
@@jordanllc7386 He played in the candidates that year. If memory serves, he went 0-4 against Tal in 1959 with some draws. That is not engine precision. As mush as we admire Bobby, he was not like an engine, especially at that age.
Come on Jose! Fischer beat the weakest World Champion Boris Spassky only 17 wins 11 losses! You can not lose 11 times against the weakest Champion Boris Spassky like Fischer! Magnus Carlsen is 100 times better than weakest Spassky!!
Q1 - Why isn't Zuko Israel & Sokka Hamas? ATLA netflix S01E01 - I noticed something: - Zuko is like Israel because Zuko accepts a 1v1 fight to reduce civilian casualties. - But Sokka like Hamas / Palestine is STILL a war criminal (just like in the original with the false flag on the hot air balloon) by using children as child soldiers and human shields by putting them in the front lines namely at the gates of the southern water tribe. Lol. 2 Interesting how people blame Gaza children's deaths on Israel rather than Hamas. So why won't I blame the air nomads' children's death on air nomads because for all I know the air nomads used children as human shields? Same with water tribe or earth kingdom. Idk about Sozin Ozai Azulon Iroh but Zuko is like Israel because Zuko tries to reduce civilian casualties by fighting 1v1 while Hamas just like, Sokka and perhaps water earth air nations, try to maximise civilian casualties by using their civilians especially children as human shields & child soldiers. Disgusting. That's what I like about netflix adaptation. There's more moral ambiguity. In fact there's more reason to side with the fire nation. 3 Btw why isn't the ff yet another way the water tribe are chickenhawk war criminals like Ismail Haniyeh who lives in a 5 star hotel in Qatar while children die in Gaza in everyday because of Ismail's war crimes of human shields hostage taking (if not outright direct killing of civilians) etc? The northern water tribe refuses to teach its own women fighting waterbending but will/would teach female avatars waterbending. Lol!!! 'thank you 12YO CHILD avatar for fighting for us. Meanwhile we'll rest in our 5 star hotels surrounded by our women who will do healing water bending on us.' 4 How come Sozin, Jet, Yon Rha, et al can't commit war crimes but water tribe Pakku, Amon, Unalaq, Hama, Sokka can? --- More info: - p1w4Rr-XW - psGT3h - Lzuv_72ybAs

learned how to improve my game by replaying the Rejavik match between Bobby and Boris... my dad picked up a little book containing every move from every game.. so cool..
To be fair, Germans had been immigrating to Argentina since the 19th century, with huge numbers immigrating in the 1920's. One of the reasons many Nazis chose to flee to Argentina was that a German community was already well established there. Pilnik immigrated in 1939 - he probably did so because he opposed the Nazis. I was still thinking the same thing you are saying though, lol. :-)
| remember playing at Wijk Aan Zee for the Corus Chess tournamentin 2008 (later Tata). Every WC since 1960 played in that tournament except for Fischer. Sadly Fischer passed away on the day of the first round so we opened with each player leting a minute run down in memory of Bobby.
The way that Fischer fearlessly pushed those pawns in front of his king is a thing of beauty! It would scare the living daylights out of us 1200ers!! 😂😂
I wonder if fisher had met at his time Leela or stockfish how well he would do. Or when he had played the goat Magnus. Would be quite interesting :) What i like about Fisher is his daring, calculated creativity!
Robert James Fischer was without question the strongest human chess player who ever lived....argue all you want about length of careers like Kasparov..who comes next..but DONT be fooled that magnuts is or was ever as strong as either player
#suggestion I just recently found out that "Mequinho", Brazil's fisrt ever grandmaster, actually played twice in the candidates tournament and had some sort of rivalry with Korchnoi, so I'd love for you to analyze one of their games, Agad!
Excellent Game I watched a Game of Fischer vs Spassky yesterday where Fischer had 3 Brilliants !! And I counted 12 Great ! Moves he ended up Checkmating Spassky with Qa5# 0-1 Great Game just like this one Have a Great Day Agadmator
I think Fischer was the kind of person that because of his high intellect was difficult to know but he saw the world at a different level not just in chess but in everything. He is kind of like the Nikola Tesla of chess to me.
That’s your opinion I’m a Hans fan if he has a good game I want to see it and if it’s relevant Agadmator will show it Hans has been cleared you have that trump mentality even when you’ve lost will swear you’ve won stop being in denial Maggie fan
"People like watching the most legendary chess figure more so than a 20 year old GM" Wow, what amazing insight, who could have predicted something like this being true!?
I believe he would’ve survived. The problem was there weren’t 81 or 91 squares on a chessboard. Or maybe, chess960 wasn’t yet there. Then against, maybe 46 squares would have seen him survive much much longer? Or. Maybe. Just been a stronger. Player?

Just by seeing that there was a new video uploaded with Bobby Fischer on the thumbnail I was extremely happy
Bobby Fisher was my hero growing up. He inspired me to play better chess and be on my high school chess team in the mid 70s.
Very cool of Pilnik to let Fischer play it out.
He resigned before checkmate though
Rest in Peace Bobby
Yes, i wish he was still around to share his wisdom
His dominance during his peak was insane. Crazy strong player.
The era of vast knowledge is back
Thanks for brushing up my vast knowledge ❤🎉
Pushing the pawns in front of his king with Black's bishops set up the way they are shows incredible judgement.
