Fischer defeats future US Armed Forces Chess Champion in 16 moves

- This analysis features the chess game between Donato Rivera and Bobby Fischer from the 1962 Varna Olympiad. In 1964, Donato Rivera was a First Lieutenant in the Air Force and won the 5th US Armed Forces Chess Championship. Fischer opts for the Nimzo-Indian Defense where he plays multiple technical moves early that create concessions from Rivera. These technical details paved the way for Fischer’s final tactical sequence in this 16-move encounter.
I'm a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.

Have to admit, one of the most instructive games I’ve watched. Excellently commentated by the awesome Jerry. What a player Fischer was
Thank you 👍

Great player was Bobby
My favorite chess analyst for good reason! Love your videos Jerry! I learn so much! Cheers from Austria! ❤
Thank you. 🇦🇹 👍
I love the fact that you create content because you want to teach your audience, want them to improve their skills, not just because you want to have views. Different main goals. You are very very valuable and for that reason I wish you the most success on UA-cam and Twitch and wherever you are active online or irl.
BTW Jerry is one of the first youtubers of chess, there is apresentation how all chess Channel gained and were losing viewers past 15 years :) i recommend checking out how Mato Jelic shows the games and how did izmet Fekali showed game of Huebner vs rogoff, The tiresome draw :)
@@TymexComputing exactly!, he is one of the first people to post chess videos. These days the youtubers are so different and very much less interesting than Jerry.
Jerry you are by far the best commentator on youtube.
Beautiful game! Thanks for finding these gems for us and explaining them so eloquently.
I searched a lot of videos on youtube to learn more about chess. You are special Jerry, recently i am only watching your videos no else and the fact that your videos passed quickly is the fact that there is a lot of fun and excitments... always keep going please, you are the best👍🏻
Thank you for the compliment. 👍
I like your remarks on unprotected pieces, great teaching. Thanks
So many little things can lead to bigger things. I love "flashy" games like Morphy's, but little positional games like this I think are better to learn from.
Thanks again, Jerry.
Beautiful game, and very fine annotation, Thanks!
Thank you
Brilliant analysis, yet again.
Jerry, your channel is not just another chess channel. Your approach to chess is that of an intellectual. I'm curious as to what other interests you have. I know for a fact you have read a lot.
Again, one word, brilliant.
Jerry, you are killing it !!, great to see these regular uploads, and I need more time to catch up on the recent uploads :), Thanks again.
Really like the "tips" on the recent videos. While the analysis always makes sense it's nice to frame it in a way we can apply some takeaway knowledge to our games.
This Fischer guy is pretty good
might be world champ one day
He takes into consideration all the crazy sacrifices and possible queen traps i could ever consider :), here i wouldnt play qxb2 Just because i would need 4 more moves to play with. Queen to get her out after cqpturing bishop
This Fisher guy 😆😆😆

@@pranavk50 Did you believe in his death? His best friend at Iceland couldnt see the body to confirm the identity... Fischer (ch - important) is still alive and we can still meet him sometimes at ICC or Lichess - just play more and better!
Nice video Jerry!
Thank you👍
Started watching your content again after a few years (remembering the chesscube days). I'm grateful that you still upload quality instructive content. I love how you introduce these instructive games to us: lots of puzzles and challenges with a lesson to take away after we've scratched our heads. What perfect one-a-day chess lessons!
Welcome back and thank you 👍
Great instructive video because of its simplicity. Thanks for translating fishers chess genius into a simple to understand language Jerry. If there was a chess language translation degree, you certainly would hold it😂❤.
There’s a reason Rivera was USAF champion only, and Fischer was world champion.
Always amazed by Fischer’s clinical precision. Thanks Jerry!
I played Donato Rivera in a game in 1974. I lost of course. He later became a well known attorney in Puerto Rico.
Nice!
How does Fischer make it look so easy? He just makes simple looking moves
The man's a genius. Arguably best chess player ever
@@georgehavrincea9258 Fischer is without a doubt my favorite chess player!!!!
Man, haven't watched a Jerry video in years. Nice to be back.
they’re chill
Even 19-year-old Fischer's reputation was such that the Armed Forces champion quit after being down a minor piece.
Robert James Fischer's run towards the 1972 title was the stuff of legends. Americans requested for him to play in the Interzonal even if he wasn't in the US championship in 1969. He overwhelmed his opponents in the 1970 Interzonal with 15wins 8draws and 0 loses (19 points out of 23). He outplayed Mark Taimanov (the sweep never showed how Taimanov actually had chances against Bobby) and contained Bent Larsen (I loved that series, especially the first game with Bobby and his bishop pair from hell). He then proceeded to break the Iron Tiger 🐅 Tigran Petrosian 6.5-2.5 (game 7 was fantastic). Although his journey was also to be his last to the top, I enjoyed the games he played. He defeated Boris Spassky as the lone warrior dismantling a Soviet chess empire. The narrative alone is the most mythical journey towards championship glory.
He suffered a single loss to Bent Larsen in the particular 1970 Palma de Mallorca Interzonal
@@butchpaloma8771 . What?
1. The number of defenders of an unprotected *key square* is equal to the number of attackers.
2. Unprotected *key squares* lead to tactics.
3. Always be on a lookout for unprotected *key squares* for both you and your opponent.
4. Try to provoke your opponent to make suboptimal moves while making sure you don't weaken your position.
I'm using the term *key square* to refer to squares on the board that will give you the advantage if you can place one of your pieces there. A *key square* may or may not be occupied by a piece. Sometimes, a *key square* may be occupied by one of your own pieces, in which case you may need to vacate that square. Even if that means sacrificing that piece (clearance sacrifice).
love how you take your time describing the various positions. very instructional. thanks much!
This video is beautiful. Thank you very much Jerry, very instructive. I also noticed that Black had the advantage on the light squares, because White put all his pawn and pieces on dark squares (plus the useless dark square bishop). Simple geometry, but not so easy to find. Fischer was a true master of the game, there’s always something to learn from his games.
Thank you. Yes…those queenside light squares were certainly vulnerable.
Great instructional analysis Jerry! Bobby Fischer was a pure chess genius! Most Grandmasters feared playing him, Tal was the exception and Spassky simply underestimated him.
Great video. I play the nimzo whenever possible. The games are so fun. So good to see maneuvers like this.
Very nice play. Great coverage. Well done.
First lieutenant at 19 is more common than you think. All you have to do is join at 18. You didnt need college back then to become an officer
Thx Jerry 😊
Your explanation is spectacular .
Amazing insights. always taking a thing or two away. as you say~ like no other.. thank you jerry great game to highlight
Love your videos. Super instructive!
Thank you 👍
Thank you for sharing!
He may have gotten one of those MOS’s ie military jobs where if you qualify you get given a higher rank After your training
Instructive and enjoyable; thank you.
Excellent presentation 👍👏🙏
note to self: look for unprotected piece (protected once or zero) and try to pile up pressure on it
Great picture of Fischer. I want another Fischer movie
ty for the video jerry
You made it so clear, I'm very impressed.Iook forward for more 🎉
I like how you keep inserting pauses with prompts for us to "figure out the best move" in various scenarios like I'm going to bust out a protractor and start doing fractions when you know damn well that I'm sitting on a couch in my underwear eating ice cream directly out of the container, and that the last time I played chess was over two decades ago when I was disqualified from a tournament for suggesting to my 6 year old opponent that it would be a highly advantageous move to advance his pesky pawn that was blocking my scholar's mate.
I like the explanations about tactics and why Fischer made these moves
I found it, but only because checks and mate threats are usually my first candidate moves. I like your "weakly defended pieces" thought process because it includes mate threats and moves I'm probably missing.
queen takes bishop on C4 is never a threat, because the bishop can always check the king.
Bobby Mode is something I created years ago, it is to search the board for undefended pieces and then scout how to get to them.
I learned this from Bobby. Bobby does this in most every game.
This game had me add something to my thinking in Bobby Mode. I not only scan for unprotected pieces NOW I add in the prevention of, or the threat of the prevention of, castling. Bobby Mode !!~!!!~!! Scan find and mobilize ALL forces towards that goal.
On move 14 Qc6, the variation I saw is 15: d5, e6xd5 16: Bd5, KNxd5 17: e4, Ra-d8.
👍👍👍👍👍👍 its so great !!! Tnks!! Tnks
👍
As always beautiful Jerry
Thank you Steve.
Great little tactic caused by some fine strategic planning from Fischer.
Nice! Just careful, practical play from Fischer and his opponent... one slip, one relatively simple tactic(making sure there's no trap) and BAM! You really want to try and grind it out with Fischer while you're down a whole Bishop? No thanks, RESIGN.
Fischer was a complete chess player. The GOAT title in chess simply belongs to him.
Lol. No
Yon,
I agree with you completely.
Bobby was the greatest. No doubt at all.
Good stuff 👍
Fischer being Fischer
Hey Jerry, when Rivera pkayed Rc1 on move 14, I thought the correct move was f3, altough I think it is inaccurate, it isn't really losing?
what a game he was excellent at chess bobby
Hi Jerry, it's everyone😄
Your voice is supposed to put me to sleep but that was interesting
Jerry has gone and popped off
I like your style. Chess first. You are not showing yourself (face), you do not talk aggressively. Thanks.
Sneaky sneaky
Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!
Now we're talking! 😂
More Bobby Fischer vs. the Soviet school of chess games please Jerry!
"Loose Pieces Drop Off"
I couldn't find it. Gave up after f3.
Meh I'm not 1st... Another W video from Jerry!
Why would it even matter?
It doesn't but it's cool when you comment 1st lol
🥈 🎊 😎
@@Adri12_plit's cool to click play as the first one, but it's pathetic to brag about it ;)
Great, fantastic and immortal Bobby Fischer!!! Respect forever!!! 👍👍👍
Hi Jerry.
❤
It’s unfortunate Fischer never joined the military. He might have become the US armed forces chess champion.
Can't white win back the piece by rook B1, and bishop a1, the knight is pinned.
Q takes b3 would force queen trades then
What about Qc2 , to defend the bishops ?
That doesn't help, black still takes the bishop on b3 and is up a piece
Same sequence still works
True, I realized that also the moment I hit the send button🙃
white wasted 3
moves with his light square bishop...
Jerry is a republican army fanatic confirmed
that was easy.
:)
Was he black or white?😅
Caucasian (( =
Your Cleveland Browns dismantled the Bengals, when I saw that I thought Jerry's gonna be pumped lol
As for me and my Jets, I gotta laugh at how the off season media circus and hype job about Aaron Rodgers just completely imploded within a few snaps. It was the Jetsiest way that whole thing could have gone. I still feel good about the team though they have some great players on both sides of the ball and it's always nice to beat the Bills, fraudulent team that they are.
Now to actually watch the video and take a thing or two away from it :)
I was pumped for sure, though deflated after A-rods injury…so awful. Defense wins championships 💪 The Jets really showed up in the 2nd half and showed their mental strength to overcome that massive gut punch.
@@ChessNetwork I appreciate that. And I also appreciate that because you are a Browns fan you must share in my desire to see the Steelers finish in last place every year! Warms the heart to know it
From PA, but very far from a Steelers fan. 😎
@@ChessNetwork See, this is why your channel is so great. You understand that what is best in life is to checkmate your opponent and to hear the lamentations of the yinzers after the Steelers lose
he is really one of the best player
but to bad at the end he becomes crazy 🤪
It’s really an ugly board chosen here for no reason
Is Bobby Fischer commonly regarded as the best chess player ever? Or would that be more like kasparov or magnus?
Jat~
By far, no question, no debate at all, Bobby Fischer was the greatest ever.
I've explained in previous posts why.
No need to expatiate further.
♟️
Things line this really have different meanings.
Fischer is the best of his time.
Magnus is better than fischer and best right now.
Here is why you really cant say someone is the best....
Fischer had limited access and no internet so therefore does not have the tools to advance rapidly and study games and does not have previous legends to study chess from.
Remember these people paved the way and because of past people is the reason magnus studied openings and tweaks in openings as well as knowing best moves from chess engines. This ultimately made him really strong and will forsure beat fischer in a game. Im sure it will be on and off but with magnus having a higher win ratio than fischer.
Now future generations will study from magnus because he refined openings from fischer while at the same time inputting his own brilliant moves and style of playing.
So who is the best?? Well thats impossible to assess so therefore no one is the best only best of their time.
Conclusion....
Although magnus will beat fischer you cant say he is better than fischer, because magnus obviously has better instruments and tools to hone in his chess skills. At the same time you cant say fischer is better than magnus because well for you to say this you will have to time travel magnus to the past for an equal playing field to see if magnus can win and learn chess just as good as now.
Therefore its impossible to say.
Think of it as the last airbender where previous teachers and knowledge make the future heir stronger.
Even today we have young prodigies beating #2 world best players because they will know mistakes from new generation grandmasters and will avoid these mistakes at younger age and therefore develop stronger tactics.
The guy above just wants you to watch his video....Dont...these people are bias and dont factor in everything.
@edntz

You are correct.
Fischer 11/11 in the US Championship. A record never duplicated since.
Also, without any team, no computers, he won the world championship in Iceland in 1972 against Boris Spassky- whom he had never beaten before. The entire weight of the US, against the USSR was at stake. Fisher lost the first two games, one because he didn't bother to show up.
Now, down 0-2 *everyone* thought it was over.
Yet, Fischer went on to win the World Championship in decisive manner.
After game 6, which is so phenomenal, Spassky got up and started to applaud Fischer, as he knew it was a game of sublime genius.
Bobby, #1.
Garry Kasparov #2
♟️
@@gregoriopalofuego9808 ☝️
In modern chess no one dominated chess the way Fischer did. Imagine Carlsen sweeping players like So and Caruana 6-0 each then demolishing Nakamura 6.5-2.5 with Naka only squeezing one win out of the match. In his quest for the title he won 21 games in a row against the best players in the world and at the end he was rated 125 elo points above world #2. Those records will never be beaten. To this day, Fischer is the 21 highest rated FIDE player ever which is incredible when you consider rating inflation over the past few decades. For perspective, the Soviet Union had a hegemony on chess like no other and fixing games between Soviet players to win prestigious international events was apparently common back then. Fischer single handedly dismantled the Soviet chess machine.
To top it off he won the title at the height of the cold war so the final match was viewed by millions of people around the world. Clearly, Kasparov gets the vote for longest rein (other than Lasker but not a fair comparison due to WWI and lack of chess federation). I personally rank Fischer #1 and Kasparov #2 due to Fischer's sheer dominance. Its unfortunately that Fischer quit chess immediately after he won the title.
Nope 1 attacker and 1 defender is not called “unprotected piece”
Type 2 unprotected?
If you've been watching Jerry's videos for years, this is one of his teaching points - that you should think about pieces that have one attacker and one defender in the same way as you should think about pieces that have 0 attackers and 0 defenders. As this video shows, Bobby Fischer thought the same way, which is why he was able to win a piece and win the game.
