Fischer Stuns The Commentators With Triple Brilliancy! They Said He Lost And Then Gave Him A Prize! 

It is a bit unfair to try and compare Fischer to modern Grandmasters when modern Grandmasters have access to resources that Fischer could not even dream of.

Another game from that era (well, 1970 actually) that I love a lot was Larsen-Spassky, in the USSR vs. the World match. Not as stunning as this game, but gorgeous too, and unique in its way.

I've been looking at chess games (going over them from books) since 1972. I'm sure I have replayed this particular game at least 30 or more times over the years. It's my favorite game of all time, hands down! Playing it through is like listening to an exquisite piece of music. It's just so elegant and perfect. Thanks for taking me on this journey again, in your inimitable clear and enjoyable way. I don't know if you ever watched the classic movie THE WIZARD OF OZ. There is a point in the movie when it changes from black-and-white to color. That's what this game has always reminded me of. You think you're looking at one thing, and then -- like that transposition from black and white to color -- it miraculously transforms into something completely different.

Fischer had almost zero family support and computer access, which Carlsen both received, and Fischer winning 6-0, 6-0, 6-0, 9.5-3.5 in the Candidate matches against super GMs without a single loss, not to mention winning the US championship without a loss or draw, were utterly, utterly otherworldly. Carlsen did not achieve those things, even though his accomplishments are also otherworldly. To me, Fischer is just half a notch more otherworldly, with Kasparov not far behind in otherworldliness.

I’m glad I found your channel. This is high quality content and commenting ☝🏻

The Byrne brothers did not fare well against Bobby! This is arguably the Fischer game that left the greatest impression on me when first studying his games. It reminds me of a lightening fast duel between Samurai kings (started by 12. .. e5!), a flurry of flashing blades, a terrible still pause... and the white king's head falls off after 21. ... Qd7!. The final position is what is shocking: black's pieces are nowhere near the white king. In fact, they are all at or behind black's 3rd rank. What is also apparent is how distance all of white's pieces are from his kingside. Fischer was able to see that in the quadrant from e1-e4-h4-h1, he would have a queen, a rook, and two bishops at his disposal and white had nothing! It's like a SEAL team: a small, heavily armed, highly-coordinated force can defeat a much superior but unorganized force. It's the mastery of the tactics that makes it all work: destructive sacrifice to smash the white king's pawn cover, pins, attraction sacrifices, deflection sacrifices. Just a stunning game.

If Fischer had continued to play like this he may have lost more games but he would certainly have left more brilliancies..

A brilliant combination by Fischer..It caught all chess experts by surprise...

Calling Byrne a super GM might be a bit of streach. The only real super GM at the time was Fisher.

Thank you. Very few games in this class. Fischer's game against Byrne's brother, Lasker's first game against Pillsbury, Alekhine against Reti. Wow@

Fischer was tremendous, then he went bat-sh!t crazy.

it is so annoing than total time wasting for waiting and waiting untill will be usefull information.

Has anyone scored Bobby's accuracy based on today's engines? We are impressed when Carlson or others are 97% accurate. And that's after they've had years to study with chess engines. It seems Fischer had near today level accuracy but with no computer for him to learn from. This is why he's the GOAT despite his mental collapse after becoming champion. He had nothing left to prove so like Morphy, descended into madness. Carlson has had all the advantages of close competition, chess engines and modern psychological training to keep him sane. Those who say longevity should be a factor in claiming the crown are short selling the genius that leaves those ahead of their time broken.

Why didn't Byrne move his pawn up two spaces to threaten bobby' s bishop immediately after he put it there?

Fischer was the best chess player of all time, no debate. Given today’s resources he would have reached a rating around 2925

that stockfish guy seems to be pretty good, being compared to magnus & fischer.

if I wanted to play blues clues, I dont need Q's from you ill just paws it

What a shame it was Fischer got all anti semitic, had the fillings removed from his teeth, and turned into a recluse. Kasparov watched him play blitz with Spassky at some point and commented Fischer was playing around 2200, although Spassky didn't agree. Seems chess was his downfall in the end. 😢

Incredible game by RJF... long before today's engine analysis tools. Great analysis by Square One Chess. Fisher really knew the value of a Bishop and where to place it.

I could only appreciate the brilliancy with this kind of analysis. Thanks so much for what you do.

Amazing game! And such a good commentary, making it ever possible for me to see the amazingness of it 😇 Tthank you! 🙏

Fisher is the best of all times no matter what, everything that he created was with his own mind, not with engines.

Fischer at the height of his power would be better than Carlsen. If Carlsen could go back in time without a chess engine. Fischer beat three Grandmasters, in the candidates, to face Spassky for the world championship. In the candidates Fischer beat Mark Taimanov 6-0 and Bent Larsen 6-0. That had never been done before or after. Then he beat former world champion, Tigran Petrosian 6 1/2 - 2 1/2. In the finals, Fischer forfeited the second game to Spassky and still won 12 1/2 - 8 1/2. Back then all games were classical and they play 21 games. Today they will only play 14.

I'm not someone who has earned a right to an opinion, however, I beleive Fischer was the most brilliant tactician, (so far) And Carlson Is the most brilliant Strategist (so far). I think Fisher would have the advantage if they played each other several times. Magnus would definatly have the advantage against the Engine. and if you compared Magnus' moves against Fishers' moves comapred to the engine. Magnus would probably have an advantage. (somebody please do this research) I think that Bobby Fisher has an advantage over any human.

Why the sunglasses? You're not in the sunlight, and if you don't want people to see you then just turn off the webcam. Seems weird to show yourself and hide at the same time.

i have absolutely no idea, and am probably not ready to be watching your channel yet, but i would appreciate if you would expand on white's advantage where the video begins because my untrained eye sees that they are roughly equal if not a slight edge to black

if bobby was born the same year as magnus bobby is the chess king . if magnus was birn when bobby was bobby is the chess king.

simply Magnus = Bobby

Why show this from the wrong side ie the losing side??

i am so shocked i won't be able to sleep for the next. 3 days

If bobby had engines, he’d make stockfish nervous. He was studying books. BOOKS. Analysis was done on a board taking notes on paper.

Fischer in his prime was so brutal with the tactics

why is this guy wearing glasses?

Really good game and video ❤

i wish bobby could have played stockfish

Evil language, blasphemy, profanity.

Thanks!!!!!!!

Bobby Fisher is definitely the best of all times.

Why does the opening explorer call this a KID? It looks like a fairly standard Grunfeld to me.

To much talking Boring vedeo

He keeps saying 321 is so cringe

Why are you wearing sunglasses?

I honestly believe If Magnus and Garry were born in the same year as Bobby, they would have ended up being rated below him.

Bla bla bla Boring vedeo

You lost me at 'Robert Byrne who is what we would call today a super grandmaster'. No sir, his peak rating was 2605. Do you at all realize that today Robert Byrne wouldn't even be in the FIDE top 100? It's ok to admire Fischer. But ffs, be reasonable about it.

Very impressive

Ty

Nice vid 👍

Just recently found the channel. It seems like good analysis but I'm still struggling with how to make analysis useful for informing my gameplay. BTW If I hada channel, I'd need to wear sunglasses too.

...e5 is very easy to find. White's setup with e3 and Nge2 is weak. ...Nxf2 is even easier.

At 18:31 What's wrong with white moves knight at d4 to e2?
