I can't believe your daughter is already three years old! I remember when she was born, and I had already been watching your videos for quite some time. You have become an important part of my life. It's a joy watching your videos. Cheers from Los Angeles!
I still have my old paperback copy of Fischer's 60 memorable games. While he didn't explore Bh5, throughout the book, he gives quite a few alternative lines within the games. Playing through them is indeed a pleasure.
I remember a game from that book in which I'm a l m o s t certain he was playing Geller. Gellar played a move and Fischer comments, "He was smiling as he played this move". Later in the game, he played another move "And was still smiling". Later, Bobby makes a punishing move and remarks, "He thought for a long time after this move. Also, he stopped smiling"!
#suggestion for a quote. Giri said after his game today, “H3 impressed me, I didn’t know the point so I was impressed”. Very funny quote for future use
I greatly appreciate your comment about playing with a physical board. It feels different I am a pediatrician and have observed an increase in many behavioral problems in association with over dependence on screens. But NOT among kids who play chess on a physical board
Fischer's king could've easily scooted into the corner to safety if needed, and basically removed any potential threats and counter attacks black could've hoped for. Not to mention there were open and semi-open files on the black king, which seemed vulnerable to a queen sac and mobilization of white's rooks en tempo. And of course Fischer's bishop is always worth about 5 points in his games because he seems to be able to magnify its potency in every critical position.
"But my daughter lost interest in like 10 minutes" lmao nooooo hang in there Antonio, keep the chess board in her sight at all times if you have to! haha
For the first pause-the-video moment, I saw Bh5 immediately (as everyone did), but I thought, "Patzer sees a check!" and didn't calculate much beyond that. Instead, I buckled down and thought for a few minutes, and I came up with f4. Hooray! I'm Bobby Fischer!
Love the vid but the thumbnail is a bit weird. Feels AI which I would prefer to avoid. Switching it up here & there is fine but please don’t go all out AI the thumbnails you had before are great & iconic
I second the motion to set up a physical chess board with actual pieces - as suggested by Agadmator near the end. Yes, today's chess engines are fantastic but in terms of learning and retention, there is a lot to be said for physically making the moves and visualizing in true 3D. . I think that on some level, Agadmator agrees with this or he would not have suggested setting up a chess board etc. (I do own a copy of Bobby's 60 Memorable chess games, and have reviewed most of these games.)
@@frederickkrewson638 It was quite surprising for me as well. But it seems that after Qxc6+, black can block with Rb7 and holds a little longer. I mean, not much though. Being -7 down against Fischer is not exactly "holding"
I found the winning move, and even the pawn capture made possible by the rook pinning the other pawn, but I definetly wouldn't be able to convert it into a win
I know Agad has a fascination for and great respect of Mikhail Tal. Agad thinks Tal was the greatest chess master of all time. I think Bobby Fisher was the greatest chess master of all time. This is one of those rare moments where both of us are right!
Kinda feel weird that you can still met people that live through ww2. You read them from history book, even your grandpa may read them on history book, yet they still alive
@@michaelmassaro4375 oh, I see it now. It was a stupid question. The point is the fork and removing the bishop from protecting the running the squares and not forcing black’s hand.
Agadmator suggests I am PROBABLY watching this on a screen. Just checking in... How many NON-GMs are listening on podcast, and just keeping track of the many board positions in their head? And for those NOT watching on a screen. Pray Tell? What type of setup are you using? Is there an agadmator Magic Chess board that moves the pieces and plays the audio as it does so? (Seriously, I might buy one!)
Well, for the last pause-the-video moment, I was so sure about my win that I would have blundered my queen. After Kxb2 and Rfb1+, black can block with the knight. It's always the moves back with the knight. Tricky bastards.
My four year old watches me watch your videos. And I’ve got the board out with her too. She is stoked to learn, but does lose interest quick. Won’t be long though.
#suggestion while everyone is talking about hans vs levy but no one is talking about Magnus's blunder against Asish panda in late title Tuesday of July 2nd. please make a video on it.
@@michaelmassaro4375 Yeah that's what it sounds like but I have no idea what he said there. But Fisher said it, so I want to know what it was. Hopefully Agad can clarify.
@@yggdrasil9039 The term is 'Patser', which can refer to amateurs at chess. The meaning of the quote translates to 'foolish players see a check and give a check without thinking things through'. The irony, as stated in the video, is that the check was indeed the best move.
After watching documentary - why was he so stigmatised by his own country? Nakon gledanja dokumentarca - zašto su ga toliko naružili i govori najgore o njemu kao ličnosti? Da li je stvarno bio takav? Ako imaš neku referencu detaljniju, bio bih zahvalan na odgovoru :)
It was Fischer’s move at that point he had checked the king with his Bf4+ the Black king went to b7 the white Queen than went to b5 so Klaus did not get the opportunity to intercede with Qb4 challenging Fischer’s Queen and Fischer would not have had to trade at that point
I hate the French also. I use to play the Advance with Nc3, g4 with some success but French players love closed games and the possibility of countering. So I started playing the exchange variation with an open game. It seems to do fine as it is not the positions that black was hoping for when he played 1...e6.
You're 3 year old daughter lost interest in 10 minutes?! That's quite a long attention span for a 3 year old. You just might have the next Polgar on your hands.
