    These videos would teach me a lot if I knew how the pieces moved or what en passant was. At least the videos are really fun (the colors and horses are exciting!). Thanks Ben!

    Interestingly, while Spassky's rook sac at 3:42 has received universal acclaim, Stockfish only considers it the third best move in the position, giving higher marks to Qh4 and Bxe3. I take some comfort in knowing that there is no way I'd have the imagination to play Rh1, but the routine Qh4 that I probably WOULD play is actually a better move (according to Stockfish).

      What sort of evaluations? mate in 5 or mate in 12 or +20. Can stockfish give up enough pieces to run away in any line?

    No surprise Fischer said okay to Larsen. I expect he figured the Russians would be counting on him being board one so Bobby thought to throw them a curve.

    • @zanti4132
      @zanti4132 7 місяців тому +1

      Surely, Fischer's long term goal was to become World champion, which meant defeating Spassky in a match. My guess is that was his motivation for agreeing to play on board 2 - avoid confrontations with Spassky until the championship match, then come out with guns blazing.

    If you get checkmated but succeed in preserving your queen, the score should me more like 0.1-0.9 for a bit of credit. I shall lobby FIDE for that rule change.

    Fischer has been soft for 10 seconds in his entire life, and agreed for Larsen to play board 1.
