Mathew Jacob Nope, it was already quite famous. Even Fischer used to tell that he heard stories of Capablanca visiting it in the early 40s. It also regularly held top players of America.
Bingo. Can his story be proof that the individual can out think an entire communist nation, or was it just luck? The most important story for all of mankind, about Fischer, is never repeated. Both at their best, the intellect of Individual is greater than communism, and Bobby made it look easy. He studied as much, and knew all their stuff He was smart enough to effectively deviate from formal knowledge, and just like any team of dogs who were taught to flip backwards, they could not figure out how to flip frontwards,---with out being taught. In hind sight, all Bobby had to do, was bring his own good game. In Pawn Sacrifice, at the beginning, "Who taught him how to move like this?" "He taught himself". We should have known right then,---he would beat the conditioned collective minds. Every achievement of man on Earth, started with one mind. Sheep don't understand the individual either, so says the term "black sheep". Probably the one that did not get slaughtered.
@@fodolocraigo8426 which sentence? what bobby fischer said? he wanted the russians to know they werent playing with a fool and a whimp. that he was a forced to be reckoned with... smart guy i would say !
Lewis currently owns a Twitter account and has a suitcase job somewhere I forgot what he does, but he seems like he's having a happy life now. Turns out chess wasn't for him.
Before Fisher, very few players that were not subsidized by their government such as the soviet's were able to play professionally. Bobby was the first to fight for top pay and conditions for chess matches (for which they called him "difficult"). It is because of him that chess became a lucrative profession for so many top players that came after him.
Exactly right. Fischer was also correct about the fact that the Russians often played quick draws amongst themselves so that they stayed mentally fresh to take Fischer on. He still beat them soundly. And he did it all without the help of computer chess engines.
What a legend... I wish I could get to know this man, I love his style and personality... although he was reserved and introverted he gave off this vibe of not giving a fuck about anyone and going for his own way, not trying to impress anyone, just going for his own way
Exactly right ✔ he was casual and confident and did what he always knew he would do .... become world champion ....because he WAS the BEST EVER in the world .... and he knew it ... what a great person 👌💕
This is one of the more interesting interviews that I have heard regarding Bobby Fischer. He was a fascinating person. In listening to him I get the impression that the problems that he gave tournament officials were truly legitimate. It's at least partly because of him that many things that have changed in Chess tournaments changed for the better because of him. (Money, lighting, etc..). My understanding is that Magnus Carlsen only makes about million and a half from Chess a year. I'm sure that probably doesn't count any of his endorsements but to be a world champion that kind of money is really (In my opinion) peanuts.
Ignorant minded media would never understand that he's simply an empath who had a troubled childhood. He's a truly exceptional and charismatic individual.
1. A self taught 2. A great fighter 3. 10 years in advance % his contemporaneous peers 4. Alone to beat the entire Soviet Chess Machine. Is there any great chess player than RJF?
Bobby Fischer was not just an chess playing genius, but in my opinion an super genius at chess.He thoroughly absorb the game at an very very quick rate at early age he didn't just know the correct response but knew all the playing styles and knew when to counter attack them.He did not just want to win but to demolish his opponent's to crush them at all cost at the chess board to let them know that they had no business there from the beginning.
Caesar Augustus: Born March 9, 1943, died January 17, 2008 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Fischer). 2008 - 1943 = 65, but considering the months, Fischer died 64 plus ~10 months. Go back to school.
I have to applaud this presentation by sixty minutes. It is the most intelligent , insightful and informative of any interview I have ever seen involving Fischer. Congrats.
Despite what some people in the USSR press said and what some 'chessmasters' may have done to try and beat him he was still well respected and held in extremely high regard in the USSR and Bobby knew that too and that's why he played against Sapssky so much, not only just to beat him every time but because they both had a huge mutual respect for each other and Bobby felt that with Boris and other chess players of Europe. They didn't focus on his personality like the press did in the U.S or USSR but they acknowledged him for what he was - a great mind in the world of chess and that's all he ever needed.
By himself sure, but he did have alot of books to help him out. But still he used those books to lead him in the right direction, not to dictate the way he plays. Very smart guy.
Media tend to view themselves as some kind of moral model that you have to admire and obey, even today. Funny thing is that TV personalities often tend to be the ones with fallen morale.
He is the God of chess. No weakness whatsoever, totally disciplined, incredibly hardworker matched by huge IQ and total desire obsession to study/win chess.
We all can say whatever we want but the bottom line is that he was one of the best players ever! He changed the world of chess and thanks to him we have chess 960.
very interesting guy. He liked certain social skills and didn't care if his opinions offended people. That could be good and bad. I think there shouldn't time for you should hold back but he never did. very interesting person maybe too smart and opinionated for some.
Thank you so very much for putting this 60 Minutes Booby Fischer interview-segment video on RUclips.com. I remember watching this interview in the early 1970s. The Memphis City chess club I went to, experienced a huge increase in chess players coming there before, during and after the Bobby Fischer vs. Spassky 1972 World Championship Match in Reykjavik, Iceland. Those were the days in some ways. Good Karma For You For Putting This Excellent Fischer Interview on RUclips.com Robert
Morphy learned to play chess all by himself just by observing the game between his father and uncle,Fischer learned to play chess all by himself by reading books...2 god of chess
No Fischer no chess! a pure 100 % genius ! This man along destroyed the morale and prestige of the evil Soviet empire! He was the Albert Einstein on the field of chess!
nice interview. i love his self assuredness and cockiness. His self belief is the product of their being best ever...muhammad ali had it, so did bruce lee...watch their interviews.. and on the music scene Noel Gallagher
Just got the Dubrovnik 2.0 from ChessBazaar.com. Watching this video shows they did a great job! I wonder though why Bobby didn't have a wood board set up in his room? Guess he moved a lot and vinyl is easier to transport.
I love his honesty. He doesn't like the cake, he says he doesn't like the cake. Why we gotta lie about that kind of thing? Why do we feel obligated to make the person that bought the cake feel good about buying it? Why should we, on our birthday, have to make other people feel happy because they did a bunch of stuff we didn't ask for? I totally agree with him and his brutal honesty. Just say it, why hide it?
He destroyed Lewis Cohen's ego, by crushing him in the chess game. Cohen used to have nightmares every night about Fischer, waking up in a sweat. His career was destroyed. He never got anywhere. A good player ripped to pieces.
Cred ca e cel mai sanatos la minte, genial si modest, timid, si cu adevarat cel mai mare sahist al tuturor timpurilor. Evreii l-au distrus pentru ca, el insusi evreu, era antisemit! Rest in peace, Bobby!
Ive watched this a few more times. I really like Fischer's attitude. You dont get this kind of candid honesty in today's PC world where every competitor is humble but ummmm, played well enough to win, but ummmm my opponent played well and i have a tremendous respect for him/her but ummmmmmm......makes me sick. Why bother with interviews these days?
At that time it was an obvious fact to every serious chess player that Fischer was the best in the world. His chess rating was over a hundred points higher than Spassky. Spassky put up a better fight than most but it was almost inevitable that Fischer would win.
i remember watching this clip back when i was 24 thinking will i be a better chess player than i am now when i reach Bobby's age of 29 here, 29 now still in the realm of 1400 lol
who could not be moved somewhat for a birthday cake surprised in ones honor! Yet it bothered him, an that in itself was a sure sign of his past experiences which were not good growing up. most likely he was not loved properly an so, thru Chess it was his OWN doing an he got some feighned accomplishment in being Champion. But that way is Never enough, so he blamed everything on other people and was irritated when most of us would just brush it off. karpov met him an He too was very surprised an knew he was not Right. best player imho Ever but so sad his growing up.
BOBBY fischer liked kids and was very kind very polite and very intelligent like Spassky or Morphy Paul Morphy was very clever Botvinnik was also clever Bobby Fischer is in my heart
A true chess genius and an direct threat to the soviet Union chess players and they knew this early on in his chess career when he played against Donald Byrne an senior master Bobby played brilliantly at the age of thirteen. Both of his parents were intellectuals and that includes his sister to his mother graduated from several universities and she had degrees his father was an mechanical engineer so his mind was very intellectual. My idea about Robert bobby Fischer is this his mind quickly accelerated because of chess because of the reason up above otherwise he would could have without chess been different yes he was intelligent from the beginning but if it was not from the most dangerous game known to mankind he could have been had an normal I.q but as fate has it history was written he is in my own opinion the greatest chess playing genius ever to exist.
His mother was a nut; It's probably too simplistic to say so (although I think that consideration may be excused for the sake of humor), but I believe his analytical abilities come from his father, his nuttiness, and stubbornness from his mother.
Secondly the Russians in my opinion considers the united States an puny foe but at the same time their rivals.I don't believe its hard to have two feelings about an worthy opponent.
The Soviets greatly respected and followed Bobby as a prodigy and at 15 even had him as a guest in the country. However, his behaviour in Moscow they didn't like, in their opinion he was uncivilized and uneducated, not to mention arrogant and stubborn. For example, when he was invited to the Central Chess Club in Moscow he insisted on playing Petrosian, who at the time was on vacation and not in town. Bobby took that "rejection" as a personal affront and behaved immaturely. From that point on the Soviets didn't like him and later, when he became a genuine threat to their GM's, they did conspire against him in tournaments. Bobby is justified in his feelings about that but to say they always had it in for him is wrong.
chess is what he knew and understood and far as I know his chess I.Q was the highest of them all to chess grandmasters.In my opinion it was not 187 it was 230 my reason for that is he did not ever stop playing chess he just did not defend his world championship title,but his learning and ideas far exceeded his fellow chess grandmasters of his day and grandmasters prior to his arrival on the chess scene.Super Genius is what he was in chess and the soviets were envious of him at an early stage in his chess career.It all started when he was an teenager.The rest is just simply conversation with the soviets.They were crushed then they did not ever forget that beaten no it was an trounce of an performance by the brilliant one bobby fischer.
It is a shame how Bobby Fischer was treated by his own country prosecuting and persecuting him just for playing chess. If the Soviets had done so with one of their players it would have been an international scandal.
I actually see how he did it now. Like the rest of the best, he studied past games maybe to the point of photographic memory. They all knew how each game was won. They knew so many games and past theory from all the dedicated study they could muster. It was such hard work and they depended on that knowledge so much,---they were scared to deviate from it, (to be innovative is risky). Bobby Fischer was willing to put in equal work for memorization and theory,---then he figured out how to beat it, and it did not take too many "new moves" to get the rest,----off their game of history. It is the typical story about the individual out thinking the collective. Like homeschooling. Exactly like homeschooling. In a free society, it helps to be different, (if rational). The players of russia were not allowed to do that. Bobby Fischer would not have achieved that greatness if he lived in Russia. He would have been "shut down" as a child with different moves.
And I think it is possible to do the same against computer engines. You just have to put in the work, and do something it has never seen before. Bobby Fischer,----brought his own well thought out game. That is why he made it look easy. :) 2 games in the hole, and he wins 12.5 to 8.5. I don't think it took a lot of new moves to beat the collective. :)
I always get the uneasy feeling that Bobby is out there walking the hills of Iceland all alone, they should bring him home to Brooklyn where he belongs and build a statue to him. Bobby is to chess what the Beatles are to music, an inspiration, totally original, a trendsetter; he brought chess - not only to the world at large, he also brought it into the modern era as we know it today. Bring Bobby home.
Chess is art science sport and game Bobby Fischer have always understood that and so do i.In my own opinion he would have crushed all the Russian Grandmasters of present and definitely past and more so their future grandmasters. Because he have absorb the material to the full to play like him you must understand; put in the hours to have done all your research but most importantly to have joy and love for the game absolute dedication is what get one ahead always with no let up.Sure it is an complex game it is easy to play but an hard to one to master or is it.You must study to be extraordinary chess player and know when to back away from it at least for an awhile.
Arguably the best chess player of all time. I reckon that Fischer of 1972 would defeat the top players of 2018, even Magnus Carlsen. I even believe he would have beaten those old masters such as Capablanca, Steinitz and Morphy !
The guy that played Spiderman (Tobey Maguire) also played Bobby in a movie already. It was called "Pawn Sacrifice". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pawn_Sacrifice
Magnus has a photographic memory and has every opening memorized 20-30 moves deep, with computer assistance (rated 3400+). All Bobby had was magazines and examples of the top GM's from the past (rated 2500-2650). Bobby might have had more natural talent, but Magnus would probably still beat him, due to his computer training.
Bobby Fischer in my own opinion was the greatest chess player ever why he understood better than the next individual.He did not want to just beat you but to also crush you to let you know that you have no chance in his world I play chess my self and I can assure you it is an easy game to play but an hard one to master the higher the level you may go the more knowledge you will have to know. If you do not know the game you might as well start learning now.I can play chess my self I am pretty okay player it is more of what I know or ideas I can come up with and what my opponent does not know or see's at that precise moment in time the more you know about your opponent the better prepared you will be.The more styles you know and know how to counterattack those styles first you must have understood then once you have understand it your knowledge will be spontaneous because you have trained properly for it.The style of the unknown.
That's the difference with someone who is on the cusp of greatness, having worked extremely hard from a young age. Of course, the interviewer could not understand that. I think that is the main reason why he was so misunderstood.
5:00 if Fischer is talking about the 1971 Moscow Tournament, Spassky only lost two of his games, and won four, and drew eleven! I'll bet Fischer considered draws as good as losses! What a trash talker!
He did it all by himself. Top chess players usually work with coaches, teams, computers etc
Maximus Fututor shut up ! Bobby was the best
Nobody is arguing that he's not.
Definitely no computers.
that chess club became famous only after bobby used to be a member of it
Mathew Jacob Nope, it was already quite famous. Even Fischer used to tell that he heard stories of Capablanca visiting it in the early 40s. It also regularly held top players of America.
they just can't understand someone who is an individual
Bingo. Can his story be proof that the individual can out think an entire communist nation, or was it just luck?
The most important story for all of mankind, about Fischer, is never repeated. Both at their best, the intellect of Individual is greater than communism, and Bobby made it look easy. He studied as much, and knew all their stuff He was smart enough to effectively deviate from formal knowledge, and just like any team of dogs who were taught to flip backwards, they could not figure out how to flip frontwards,---with out being taught.

I saw him yesterday
How's he?
Lewis currently owns a Twitter account and has a suitcase job somewhere I forgot what he does, but he seems like he's having a happy life now. Turns out chess wasn't for him.
I thought the same, who??
@Allen Albright really? Spassby? Beat Fischer before Fischer beat him.
Before Fisher, very few players that were not subsidized by their government such as the soviet's were able to play professionally. Bobby was the first to fight for top pay and conditions for chess matches (for which they called him "difficult").

I think his complaints were legitimate. Do they come down and lean on you and blow smoke in your face when you are playing world class tennis?
This was all about Fischer. No mention of Carlsen whatsoever. I'm actually happy about that, but the title is misleading.
Ignorant minded media would never understand that he's simply an empath who had a troubled childhood. He's a truly exceptional and charismatic individual.
Thanks for uploading this, this video needs to be preserved as anything like this with Bobby Fischer from the 70’s is very rare and hard to find

chess is what he knew and understood and far as I know his chess I.Q was the highest of them all to chess grandmasters.In my opinion it was not 187 it was 230 my reason for that is he did not ever stop playing chess he just did not defend his world championship title,but his learning and ideas far exceeded his fellow chess grandmasters of his day and grandmasters prior to his arrival on the chess scene.Super Genius is what he was in chess and the soviets were envious of him at an early stage in his chess career.It all started when he was an teenager.The rest is just simply conversation with the soviets.They were crushed then they did not ever forget that beaten no it was an trounce of an performance by the brilliant one bobby fischer.
Keith Washington that has nothing to do with iq
genius
Haha "Bobby Fisher produced by Igor Oganesoff" - I guess this Igor guy is claiming to be his father
It is a shame how Bobby Fischer was treated by his own country prosecuting and persecuting him just for playing chess. If the Soviets had done so with one of their players it would have been an international scandal.
I actually see how he did it now. Like the rest of the best, he studied past games maybe to the point of photographic memory. They all knew how each game was won. They knew so many games and past theory from all the dedicated study they could muster. It was such hard work and they depended on that knowledge so much,---they were scared to deviate from it, (to be innovative is risky). Bobby Fischer was willing to put in equal work for memorization and theory,---then he figured out how to beat it, and it did not take too many "new moves" to get the rest,----off their game of history. It is the typical story about the individual out thinking the collective. Like homeschooling. Exactly like homeschooling. In a free society, it helps to be different, (if rational). The players of russia were not allowed to do that. Bobby Fischer would not have achieved that greatness if he lived in Russia. He would have been "shut down" as a child with different moves.
And I think it is possible to do the same against computer engines. You just have to put in the work, and do something it has never seen before. Bobby Fischer,----brought his own well thought out game. That is why he made it look easy. :) 2 games in the hole, and he wins 12.5 to 8.5. I don't think it took a lot of new moves to beat the collective. :)
I always get the uneasy feeling that Bobby is out there walking the hills of Iceland all alone, they should bring him home to Brooklyn where he belongs and build a statue to him. Bobby is to chess what the Beatles are to music, an inspiration, totally original, a trendsetter; he brought chess - not only to the world at large, he also brought it into the modern era as we know it today.
Bring Bobby home.
Chess is art science sport and game Bobby Fischer have always understood that and so do i.In my own opinion he would have crushed all the Russian Grandmasters of present and definitely past and more so their future grandmasters. Because he have absorb the material to the full to play like him you must understand; put in the hours to have done all your research but most importantly to have joy and love for the game absolute dedication is what get one ahead always with no let up.Sure it is an complex game it is easy to play but an hard to one to master or is it.You must study to be extraordinary chess player and know when to back away from it at least for an awhile.
Vintage Fischer...RIP
Arguably the best chess player of all time. I reckon that Fischer of 1972 would defeat the top players of 2018, even Magnus Carlsen. I even believe he would have beaten those old masters such as Capablanca, Steinitz and Morphy !
People believe the earth is flat, too.
Wallace had to know that as a member of the Worldwide Church of God, Fischer didn’t celebrate birthdays. He did that shit on purpose.
Why would he know that? There are thousands of churches in the US, who could keep track of all of their crazy rules?
Ryan Gosling needs to play him in a biopic
The guy that played Spiderman (Tobey Maguire) also played Bobby in a movie already. It was called "Pawn Sacrifice". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pawn_Sacrifice
Both 60 Minutes and Fischer ruined Cohen's career. The pressure was too much, once the public latched onto that poor kid.
People try to pin him as mentally ill, I’m learning more and more that he actually makes a hell of a lot of sense.
He wasn’t mentally ill, but he did struggle with paranoia as he aged. No so much to qualify as mentally ill, but there’s no doubt it was there.
Hands down the best chess player who ever played this damn game! Even Magnus would not even have a chance against him the prodigy the mega mind.
Magnus has a photographic memory and has every opening memorized 20-30 moves deep, with computer assistance (rated 3400+). All Bobby had was magazines and examples of the top GM's from the past (rated 2500-2650). Bobby might have had more natural talent, but Magnus would probably still beat him, due to his computer training.
Anybody know what happened to little Lewis Cohen?

this is his twitter, he became a chess master. He's old now lol
That sounds a little anti-semitic.
The Russian's were right.....@3:53 chess had a harmful impact on Fischer's personality development
Bobby Fischer in my own opinion was the greatest chess player ever why he understood better than the next individual.He did not want to just beat you but to also crush you to let you know that you have no chance in his world I play chess my self and I can assure you it is an easy game to play but an hard one to master the higher the level you may go the more knowledge you will have to know. If you do not know the game you might as well start learning now.I can play chess my self I am pretty okay player it is more of what I know or ideas I can come up with and what my opponent does not know or see's at that precise moment in time the more you know about your opponent the better prepared you will be.The more styles you know and know how to counterattack those styles first you must have understood then once you have understand it your knowledge will be spontaneous because you have trained properly for it.The style of the unknown.
Oops, I misspelled Bobby by typing Booby in the first sentence. Please my typo.
bobby is a winner
Fischer, at his peak and with the highest rating of all time, plays a 12 year old as if it were life and death. Lol.
Kid was like: "BUT I WANTED CAKE YOU ASSHOLE!"
Reminds me of and exaggerated Christopher walken impersonation
Bobby Fischer will always be the best Chess player in the world!!
That's the difference with someone who is on the cusp of greatness, having worked extremely hard from a young age. Of course, the interviewer could not understand that. I think that is the main reason why he was so misunderstood.
5:00 if Fischer is talking about the 1971 Moscow Tournament, Spassky only lost two of his games, and won four, and drew eleven! I'll bet Fischer considered draws as good as losses! What a trash talker!
Listen again carefully to exactly what BF said.
Bobby was a great MGTOW
He was with a Japanese girl on-and-off for the last 30 or so years of his life.
MGTOW doesn't mean you can't be with girls. just means don't be controlled or change your life to deal with them
+ stevie6621 What does "MGTOW" mean?
Awesome profile pic
+Zion Garrick Thank you!
