Here is the game I referenced in the video where Fischer won in 17 moves with the Fischer-Sozin Attack against Peter Dely: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wlk1DLm-BjU.html
I want to thank you for not adding "your moves", as other YT chess gurus do consistently when it comes to games of these top players of the time, (those guys don't understand their place). I can't learn anything from those guys as they rattle off options, (and there is probably good reason why the best in the world did not choose "their" option.). That is very distracting when I am trying to figure out what "Fischer", (for example), is thinking. Kudos for showing the game with out trying to show up the best in the world. Some people,---just don't know their place. :) Doug in Michigan You YT gurus should have a on-line chess tournament, funded by go-fund me donations for money, (that could get big. Think about it), and put everybody in their proper place. :)
Same here, Jerry got me back into chess after 20 years without playing. I now follow several chess youtubers, each their style, but everything started here, with good content and pure chess.
Love to see you back making more content! I've been following you for years now and my favorite videos are the game analyses, especially those of the world championship matches. Looking forward to your coverage of the upcoming match! Take care.
i have seen so many of your vids that not only did I get the moves(apart from Qe2) but I could also guess the exact explanation that you gave. You have really changed my thinking style when it comes to chess, the only problem is I am too slow, and even 15 min games are not long enough for me to come up with the correct idea(That is even if I can find the correct ideas). I am practicing blindfold chess right now along with puzzles at 2500 rating in lichess, but that is not helping me avoid simple blunders I make because I want to save time or am simply too lazy to calculate all the way through. I am working on it tho, hopefully, one day I can cross the 2000 mark(currently 1950). Thank you ChessNetwork!!!
I agree. Another way to look at it might be to say move the piece that can be threatened first (rook) over the one that can’t be (queen). At least in this case.
It's not only the wisdom of choosing, among dozens, the most brilliant game of the genius Fischer (as in this case), but the skillful narration explained it in detail, that makes this video a Chess lesson. Thank you, sir.
Jerry thanks for this video. You are the best. Please keep them coming. Your Standard games videos are the most instructive and most appreciated by all.
Wow, you are an amazing teacher of the game....best chess channel I've come across! Love how you put our minds to the test with all the variations. Much appreciated bud!
A friend at my local chess club recommended your channel. I am not disappointed. I love your style. Thanks for the contribution to our chess community.
Note to self: decisive attacks on critical pawns are really fun moves to play. The other day my opponent moved the bishop to defend the pawn preventing mate, but I had a revealed Double check #2 and their bishop couldn't even help. So much fun. Thanks for showing this Fischer game. Watch all of your vids.
Jerry, are we ever getting a face reveal? It’s seriously on my bucket list, to see the face behind the voice I’ve been hearing for days of footage. My life feels incomplete without it, im sorry.
Imagine standing at the store in line and you hear Jerry's voice "Milk to conveyor belt, this central post is the least flexible. Now let's surround it with granola bars and only then will we have the structure of snacktown."
Excellent analysis and tips! I did take a thing or two away! I particularly love Bobby games as he is my favourite... along with a 100 million other followers of chess.
Learned two new things in this video: First sacrificing to make a major weakness...but this one would be hard for me to convert. The second is reserving the piece with most mobility to move last.
I had to (and thankfully did) find a similar just in time light squared bishop move not even an hour ago to save a game in an exchange French. So naturally my pop quiz answer was to move the queen first :-/. Great video Jerry!
I am loving these videos lately focusing on one longer game instead of multiple blitz or bullet games. To add to your point around the 12-and-a-half-th minute, moving the piece with the least options is a good rule of thumb, but it might be worth considering how many options can be taken away in one move. If one piece has two options, but they can both be denied with one opposing move, that piece needs to take the same priority as a piece with only one option that can be removed. In other words, how many options does this piece have, and how many can be taken away from it before they can be used, are both important considerations.
I especially appreciate the point about the e6 pawn being worth more than a point, and as much as 2.5 points, since it really is the lynchpin of black's defense, and without it all black's pawns in the middle of the board are isolated, which is fatal.
I also like your point about moving the piece with fewer options first; hence, the rook before the queen in the present game. I'm not sure I understand that concept yet, but it gives me something to think about!
you brought me back to chess, jerry! couple years ago. so, thank you! loved the last wc with you, too. i fell asleep most every game, but woke up for most endings, also :) im eager for this years.. great video!
Great video! I thought this was going to be a Agadmator video by the look of the video photo. I have stumbled upon another great chess channel. Looking forward to watching more of your videos!
The most useful take away is the tip to move the piece with the fewest options first. I'll focus looking at the board from that perspective and think it'll improve my game. I really enjoyed your analysis and comments.
I like how Fisher always moves his light square Bishop out and then back to B3, if your opponent takes this Bishop, you can take with your A2 Pawn, then you can activate your Queenside Rook very early in the game
Nice game and good advice about choosing which candidate move to play first. in these situations. I usually just think, “If i play this move first, can my opponent prevent me from playing the other move next?” and vice versa.
I can respect that attitude, but in chess games between Grandmasters, it's just disrespect to your opponent because it carries the implication you think they're stupid enough to blunder such a position, which is common in lower ranked players, but not all that common amongst Grandmasters. The only thing you're doing is wasting their time and yours.
@@DF-ni5sy I’m not talking about drawn positions. I’m talking about completely winning or losing positions. At the grandmaster level, that’s also a massive sign of disrespect because you think they can blunder a completely winning position.
Regarding the Qh6 or Rh5 first dilemma, maybe this can help: I read in a positional chess book that before playing your move, always ask what would the opponent play if it were their turn in that same position. Considering this, then one may arrive at the conclusion that black can attack the rook therefore let's move it first and later the queen.
I did see White's 15th move pretty quickly. But I think I may have not seen it as quickly it wasn't for watching Jerry's other videos. If this is the only video of Jerry's that you have seen, then you are missing out!
One thing I love about improving in chess is how, seemingly out of nowhere, you kind of just start SEEING things. It's not like my fundamental thought process is on some profoundly higher path (compared to when I was a noob.) Rather, it's almost, but not QUITE, subconscious.
Some of the magic is lost in the process. I saw another vide where somewhere was very impressed with another Fischer game coincidentally. Once, you've seen a few of these sacrifices in the Sicilian it becomes common knowledge. I'm still in awe of elite players, Magnus in particular, but these days I'm mostly impressed with technique given I'm capable of many of the tactics I see in IM/GM games.
It's interesting to actually see the modern computers refute so called 'brilliant lines'. After 13. Qe3 b5! (as mentioned in the video) and if 14. Bxa7 black follows with simply Ra8 and eventually the bishop defending a2 will be swapped off with ...Ba4. You look at all these past masters games with a computer and it's all beautiful... but the computer picks holes in a lot of it.
