Follow MprooV on Twitter / mproovapp #agadmator This is how the 16 year old Bobby achieved his first victory over a russian grandmaster.
Beginning with the Pärnu 1947 tournament, Keres made some significant contributions as a chess organizer in Estonia; this is an often overlooked aspect of his career.
Keres continued to play exceptionally well on the international circuit. He tied 1st-2nd at Hastings 1954-55 with Smyslov on 7/9 (+6 −1 =2). He dominated an internal Soviet training tournament at Pärnu 1955 with 9½/10. Keres placed 2nd at the 1955 Gothenburg Interzonal, behind David Bronstein, with 13½/20. Keres defeated Wolfgang Unzicker in a 1956 exhibition match at Hamburg by 6-2 (+4 −0 =4). He tied 2nd-3rd in the USSR Championship, Moscow 1957 (URS-ch24) with 13½/21 (+8 −2 =11), along with Bronstein, behind Mikhail Tal. Keres won Mar del Plata 1957 (15/17, ahead of Miguel Najdorf), and Santiago 1957 with 6/7, ahead of Alexander Kotov. He won Hastings 1957-58 (7½/9, ahead of Svetozar Gligorić). He was tied 3rd-4th at Zürich 1959, at 10½/15, along with Bobby Fischer, behind Tal and Gligorić.
Bobby Fischer was a record-setting chess master who became the youngest player to win the U.S. Chess Championship at 14, and the first American-born player to win the World Chess Championship.
Bobby Fischer was born on March 9, 1943, in Chicago, Illinois. Fischer first learned the game of chess at age 6 and eventually became the youngest international grand master at the age of 15. In 1972, he became the first American-born world chess champion after defeating Boris Spassky. An eccentric genius, who was believed to have an I.Q. of 181, Fischer became known for his controversial public remarks in his later years. He was granted Icelandic citizenship in 2005, following legal trouble with the United States. He died on January 17, 2008.
Early Life
Robert James Fischer was born in Chicago, Illinois, on March 9, 1943. Fischer's parents divorced when he was a toddler, and he began learning chess at the age of 6 after his older sister Joan bought him a chess set. He continued to hone his skills as a youngster at the Brooklyn Chess Club and Manhattan Chess Club. Fischer had a strained relationship with his mother, who supported his chess endeavors, but preferred that he pursue other areas of interest.
A brilliant, highly competitive player who lost himself in the game, Fischer earned a place in the record books at age 14 when he became the youngest player to win the U.S. Chess Championship. Then in 1958, at 15, he became the youngest international grand master in history by winning the related tournament in Portoroz, Yugoslavia (now Slovenia).
Match of the Century
During the early 1960s, Fischer continued to be involved in U.S. and world championship matches, but was also making a name for himself with his erratic, paranoid commentary. After having a 20-game winning streak in the early 1970s, Fischer once again made chess history in 1972 with his defeat of the Soviet Union's Boris Spassky at the Reykjavik, Iceland world championships, thus marking the first time an American chess player had won the title. Fischer's defeat of a Soviet opponent, which became known as the "Match of the Century," took on iconic proportions in the midst of the Cold War and was seen as a symbolic victory of democracy over Communism. Fischer's historic win also made chess a popular game in the United States.

Excellent explanation of the ideas behind Fischer's moves! Thank you -- you have a real gift for teaching chess.
When I first started watching your vids, I loved them instantly. But looking at this one today in hindsight....my god...how you have grown. Both in numbers, but especially in enthusiasm & perfecting the way you take your audience for a fantastic ride. It's not just us who have expanded our vast knowledge. While watching this video again today, I wondered a few times how you'd present this beautiful match if you had record it today. I don't know if you even get to read this comment, because you'll probably get a barrage of messages daily...but if you do, I hope you'll consider this #suggestion.
Anyway.... I love your vids & long standing dedication to chess. Thanks man! 👍🏻
haha I had this exact thought.
exact same thought. #suggestions please try to do this game again.
hear hear!
2 years later he has 1 million subscribers
There's one thing I didn't understand about Bobby Fischer: he seems to understand chess deeply in a fundamentally different way than any other. It's incredible
You are the best at making chess interesting even for people that don't totally understand the game. Great analysis.
Nobel prize to Agadmator for journalism
This was a great analysis. Thanks.
+Locutus D'Borg Thanks Locutus, I wasn't really going for analysis, I just wanted to show what deep understandimng Fischer had at such a young age, against the Estonian powerhouse Paul Keres
This channel is one reason I’ve continued my interest in chess and haven’t given up!
Thank you for posting and the excellent analysis.
Lawrence Biggs Thanks Lawrence! Today I will upload Bobby's first victory vs Mikhail Tal. I think it will be a good video
Fischers' machine - like precision in the endgame is beautiful here 😍
Bravo Antonio! Uprkos tvom ELOu komentari koje dajes su odlicni. Koncizni, kvalitetni i nepretenciozni za razliku od gotovo svih drugih RUclips komentatora-filozofa sa mnogo visim rejtingom od tvoga. Samo nastavi tako.
This win earned Bobby the nickname the "Dragon Slayer," as I recall.
But its not a dragon opening
@@BroscoWankston yet he slayed the dragon.
your videos really show how great Bobby Fischer was.
I agree he was the greatest talent since Capablanca; maybe even Morphy. If Capablanca had had Fischer's drive and competitiveness, he would probably have gone the ten years between 1914-1924 without even drawing a game; much less losing a game! as for Morphy, the parallel of these two giants' careers, a century apart, is absolutely eerie.
I wonder if Fischer really was the best of all time. Defeating Keres is an incredible achievement, defeating him when you are 16, is unbelievable.
U r so right, at 16 yrs old, he was very aware of the game positional wise
Watching in 2022. What a journey Antonio! 👍👍
Delightful contribution to chess popularity Proficiat! Just love the red rugged cover of the settee, the dog who occasionally sleeps on it, the spiral staircase and the inimitable the accent. Keep it up. And if you ever get time and inclination to address the challenges of 960 random or Fischerchess you'll have my vote.
thanks friend for this video great analysis keep up .
Beautiful endgame technique from 16 year old Bobby!
Keres was Estonian, not Russian. He competed under a Soviet flag since at that time Estonia was part of the USSR. Thanks for the nice video!
+Krassen Mitev I also wrote that in the comments. Thank you :)
Technically for the purpose of competition he was competing for the Russians therefore he was a Russian GM. If I play chess for Canada even if I am a citizen of Mars I am a Canadian player. You said it yourself that Estonia was part of the USSR (or CCCP if you prefer).
The USSR and Russia are not interchangable though. But then he was technically born in the Russian empire. He competed for Estonia and USSR separately at different times. What you are saying is more like, if you play chess for Canada you are playing on the North American team.
Nobody said he was Russian, but Soviet, and we all know what that means CCCP (Soviet Union), at the time he was Soviet GM.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union
I did not say that USSR and Russia are interchangeable. I know a little history myself. Altho when I said Russia I meant the Russians so I have edited it for accuracy.
You said, "What you are saying is more like, if you play chess for Canada you are playing on the North American team."
That would only be true if Canada was under the control of the United States.
So far not true but I predict that the U.S. will eventually grab Canada due to environmental issues.
That moment at 5mins 05secs I lost my mind!!! 🤯
Very interesting vids.
Indeed, Keres was Estonian - in case you want to fact-check your description. Pärnu is in Estonia.
The OG of chess videos
Man you have improved a lot in your videos!
Entertaining video. You have a knack for this.
The "official" world championship was more or less established by Steinitz around the turn of the century. So in the 20th century we have some other GM's that were candidates for the strongest player never to become "official" World Champion: Reuben Fine (placed equal first in the super strong "Candidates" tournament sponsored by the Dutch Radio network AVRO just before WW2 broke out); Akiba Rubinstein; who could not get the financial backing to meet the World Champion Capablanca's conditions for a challender; Karl Schlechter, the affable Viennese "drawing" GM who drew a match with the World Champion Em. Lasker in 1910, but he could never get backing after that, or before WW1 broke out, which he unfortunately did not survive (starvation due to the British Naval blockade of central European powers until the Versailles treaty had been signed); Julius Breyer, a rising post WW1 star whose career was cut short by a tragic early death; David Bronstein who became Botvinnik's challenger and drew with him in a controversial match for the championship in the Stalinist era (c.1950); and there are some others in the early 20th century or during the world wars that unfortunately peaked before their opportunity would arise. But there is not doubt that the strongest "unofficial" world champion of all time was Paul Morphy; he toured Europe, destroying all the chess masters who dared to match their skills against him, and returned home to America to the equivalent of a ticker tape parade; including an official banquet held by NYC Mayor who presented Morphy the "Keys to the City" (Morphy officially offered pawn and move to anyone in the world; never accepted).
You wasted your life writing this
But you wasted your time writing the comment
Things were very different in the early days before you had Tal's smiling face on your interface!
i love these early videos
Nice job. Very enjoyable.
+FormostPanda Thanks Panda
Only the endgame matters in chess. This is why engines always win, they have databases and never make mistakes.
Alpha Zero has no database
True,. Except of course for the opening and the middle game.
cr nunn And all of the stuff in between.
@@FloydMaxwell alpha zero makes his own database through playing with himself, so no
@Great White no what i mean is the openings are mostly solved and midgame realistically so the endgame is by far the most important
Nedavno sam pročitao tekst, čini mi se u srpskom izdanju Newsweeka, o Fišeru. Naime, on je u prvoj polovini 90-ih živio u SRJ, tačnije u Kanjiži u Vojvodini, u tamošnjem hotelu. Svake nedelje mu je u posjetu dolazio njegov veliki prijatelj - Svetozar Gligorić da zajedno igraju šah, a u posjetu mu je takođe dolazila i porodica Polgar. Autor teksta tvrdi da je Fišer bio posebno impresioniran igrom, tada mlade, Judit te da je čak bio zaljubljen u nju. Inače, Fišer je bio veliki prijatelj sa Gligom koji mu je bio i neka vrsta trenera početkom 70-ih. Osim toga Fišer je bio veliki igrač Gligine varijacije Kraljevske - Indijske odbrane, čuvene Mar del Plata varijacije. Pa sam htjeo da ti predložim da analiziraš meč između Najdorfa i Glige, igran u Mar del Plati, čini mi se '59, ali nisam tačno siguran, kao i neku partiju Fišera u KI odbrani. Veliki pozdrav.
And this is against Paul Keres - the strongest player never to be world champion. (Who was forced by Russian Chess Federation to give a 4 game handicap to Botvinik in a tournament for the world title)
The only equivalent was in table tennis where LiFuJung (lifurong) was forced to throw 3 successive world championship games to CHAUNGTSETUNG.
In those days the world champion - CHAUNGTSETUNG - was seeded directly to the challenge round.
Waited in vain for almost 14 minutes for the cute doggy to appear on the couch :-(
In USA chess was taught at primary schools in 1987 But there was no Fischer before them at that time. I had seen his pictures on Time magazine when he was playing at the same time with two dozen players.
Fantastic video and channel worth subscribing
+MrMicronano Thank you sir :)
Great channel. Great videos. Keep it up.
Another great video. I do however wish you had showed how he would.have queened. Im still learning so it would help. That all said, I learn alot from all your videos.
WOW, Bobby.💪
It looks like the moves are logical and so simple and I should be able to play like Fischer. I bet this game upset Keres. Keres played so conservative and really tried to survive.
See ilus mäng oli mängitud imelises riigis. Maga rahulikult Paul Keres!
so smart..
Have you seen the video of Bobby Fischer in 1956 on “I got a secret” where he was given a free ticket to fly to Russia to play in a GM tournament?
That video brought me here. :)
clash5j Me too! 👍🙏
Can you do a video on what it means to be a Master or Grand Master? What are the different levels of chess??
Great video great channel but wasn't Keres Estonian
Estonia remained occupied by the Soviet Union until restoration of its independence in 1991. So yes, Keres was indeed Estonian, but to Fischer, he was a Soviet and therefore Russian :)
I read that the Russians actually manipulated things to prevent Keres from winning the world championship.
Could be true but I don't see why they would as he was considered a soviet
Well, don't forget that the win would be against another soviet :)
Technically for the purpose of competition he was competing for the Russians therefore he was a Russian GM. Estonia was part of the USSR (or CCCP if you prefer).
About 5 and a half minutes into the video, it was incorrectly (probably just due to informality) said in the commentary, that the (w) e1 rook was "pinned", it also was not strictly true that the (black light-square) bishop "could not be taken" -- capture of the (b) d5 bishop by the (w) e4 pawn was legally possible, although it would have exposed the (w) e1 rook, (which was not pinned) to a possibility of being captured -- maybe the (w) e4 pawn could arguably have been regarded as pinned by the (b) e8 rook against the (w) e1 rook -- but Fischer is not unknown to have sometimes been willing to give up a rook for a bishop (more likely or more frequently for a minor piece and a pawn, usually not without capture of a pawn -- trading a rook for a knight or bishop along with a pawn and a contemplated positional comparative advantage to justify the apparent dropping of the exchange) in games that he subsequently won -- he bragged in an interview about the rook-for-piece-and-pawn trade being something he'd done frequently -- there is a later comment made at around 6 and a quarter minutes about a rook being "pinned" when no rook is in fact pinned -- I think a person commenting publicly regarding a game played between world-championship-level grandmasters (the commentator is clearly a stronger-than-average master player) should please try to not get things so wrong as to jar the sensibilities of an ordinary coffeehouse player like me.
Great game by Fischer! Paul Keres is no slouch. I think that Paul Keres is the greatest Chess Player who never won the World Championship. Went did he never win?
Like and sub. Keep em coming
+Julian Carax Thanks Julian, will do
How many players would treasure a draw with a Grandmaster who plays in competitions of this level?
Paul Keres was born in Russia in 1916. Estonia did not declare independence until 1918.
Keres wasn't Russian, he was Estonian.
Didn’t say he was Russian, said he was Soviet.
At 11:53 b×g4 after king captures then black king captures the pawn and then it would be a draw
I hope you have learned the basic pawn endgames by now, and you can realize that
No, white wins. ... K:h6, Kg4-f5 Kh6-g7 , Kf5-g5 1-0
Hey agad you kicked my ass in lichess:)
at the one moment that black didn't know what to do with his knight I seen how he could win in around 5 moves. it's been a while since ive had to remember rules but I just don't see how he passed up that opportunity.
Where did i see this game before? Is this the one llthats 30ish moves?
Same tournament different game against kares
Now imagine all world champions alive and in their prime. Would Bobby Fisher be the strongest chess player ?
I have that percioption that he was utterly crazy (as a person) but a genius and tottaly unbeatable at this game !
He wasn't crazy at all. He was mad for being duped out of a fortune like any sane person would be.
Oh common Jon, he was bat shit crazy at the end and full of hate. He's probably my favourite player but he was looney tunes near the end, just watch some interviews.
Fischer had the balls to say what he thought. If he was alone in this then maybe he could be seen as a crazy but the truth of it is there are many people that agree with him.
RIP RJF
Nah. I think Magnus could take him.
I know this video is old but at 10:28 why doesn’t black play bishop to D5?
2:00 - 2:38 that doesn’t make sense. Say knight captures d4 pawn, then fischer moves knight to f5, then knight on d4 takes knight on f5, Fischer then takes the knight on f5 with the pawn on e4 and then black moves pawn to e4 attacking the bishop and the knight.....?
At 6:15 why cant the pawn take? You said bishop is hanging, i dont understand. Help a beginner please
Never mind i see..The queen is waiting
Agadmator looks just like the wine merchant in this scene of Game of Thrones:
ruclips.net/video/MIGYQr6ldJk/видео.html
Hahahaha, thanks man. I'm a huge GoT fan, btw :)
Omg I LOL'd so hard. Please don't try to poison anymore princesses. Thanks.
bobby lost most of his chess games in russia at 15 - spasky beat him 4-0 and tal 4-0 but after 16 yrs old he crushed spassky an went 4-0 versus tal he won 72% of his games an wiped them all out winning 20 strait games.
why not rook e7 after Queen d7?
I dont see the forced win can someone elaborate?
The pawns and bishop are all guarding squares e7, f7, g7, h7 so the Black king cannot approach. The white king will move around to the left of the pawns, and eventually when at e7 the f6 pawn will move safely forward to be promoted. If the king moves to the left first, then the h6 pawn can move forward and be promoted. Set it up on a board and play around with it!
9:55 that's not a rook :D
Keres made him earn it.
Magnus is the closest we ever had to Fischer.
I don't see how white wins. Starting at 12:33, black king goes to H8 and stays there, the H pawn can never advance. Black bishop stays on that same diagonal that it's on, and the F pawn can never advance. If neither pawn can advance, it's a draw.
White king just stays on dark squares until he gets to e7. Then white bishop makes it's move to f7 either exchange bishops or white bishop will go to e6. Doesn't matter by then. Either bishops exchange or not. Pawn on f column is covered and black king can't touch it either.
Despite white's clever knight check which doubled black's pawns and 'ruined his pawn structure' according to the chess engine after white puts his rook on c7 and then goes Ke2 the game is dead even. If black played Kf6 instead of f4 he actually has a slight advantage. So white's strategy was good but it didn't lead to an advantage.
Finaly not loud HELLO EVERYONE😊
Lichess seems to be not as playable in bullet than Chesscube. I cannot see easily all pieces.
I would have to go with Rubenstein or Bronstein for the greatest player to never become world champion. Keres was a fantastic player too, but not quite as good, in my opinion.
Didn’t Rubenstein go crazy eventually? In my book that makes him even more genius and intriguing.
@@LukeLongboneOfficial Paranoia resulting from being Jewish and the whole WWII killing of the Jews thing.
I wouldn't be so interested in this sport if it weren't for the weird drama that often accompanies big games. It can be hilarious.
I noticed the Masters don't sacrifice nothing for nothing sake I'm just a novice
Heuuuu! HELLO EVERYONE !!! 😄
I dont know what happened to you in this period of life, but you seemed to be much more sad than usual (usually you are cheerful)
+Just1Humanoid I was still shy making videos :)
11:52 BxBg4 KxBg4 KxPh6 ... it can be a draw
No, white wins. ... K:h6, Kg4-f5 Kh6-g7 , Kf5-g5 1-0
Did you loose your girl friend or something? Your heart does't seem to be in it today, on the "Fischer's First Victory against a Soviet Grandmaster" video.
At 11.53, if black take the bishop, the game will be draw.
No, white wins. ... K:h6, Kg4-f5 Kh6-g7 , Kf5-g5 1-0
Man your old videos are cringe😂❤
Sorry but it's really poor commentary, not saying which moves are good. Yes he 'finds Rf5' but it is actually a mistake, losing a full point according to the engine. And after Bd3 white's big advantage is gone and the game is dead even after Bc4 which Keres missed.
@philcolbert7864 Thanks for sharing that, but your engine is probably not as good as the one Antonio uses. No offense to you or your engine. Yours is probably really good. But nowhere near as good as the one Antonio uses. There’s levels to chess.
@@LukeLongboneOfficial So you're saying that Rf5 is the best move? And you are also saying that white still has a big advantage after Bd3? Note that this game was posted 6 years ago so I doubt the engines were as good back then
Uhhh...uhhhh....uhhh...and uhhh....uhhhh...uhhhh....uhhh.
lots of huhs
Bobby Fischer is NOTHING compared to the LEGENDARY Soviet chess grandmasters. #FACT
bluejay7232 That’s fiction.
bluejay7232 Fischer single handedly destroyed the cheating russians! Fact!!!!
not that this is true but the soviets were far more motivated as losing would cost them their yearly beet rations or even worse
You mean all the legendary Soviet grandmasters he methodically and consistently crushed? Stop trolling and stick to facts... you won't be laughed at so much.
The Soviets were scared of Fischer when Bobby was a teenager.
damn, Antonio has come a LONG WAY looking at these original videos
