    To understand how great Fisher is, keep in mind that his rating 47 years ago (!!!) was 2785! And there were no computer engines. After half a century and three decades of computer developing chess, only few top GMs have rating higher than he had in 1972! Fisher also have the highest rate of victories in the chess history - 72%, and he lost only 82 games in his official career. Fisher's secret online 8 games vs Short in 2000. are insane. He destroyed one of the best blitz players of that time with 8-0 and every game Fisher started with completely insane opening. Simply the GOAT.b

    @bobtausworthe2671 3 роки тому +11

    While the first one is a great move from a young Bobby against his rival Samuel, Bobby himself admits he did not invent the move. He found it in a Russian book. Still brilliant to remember it and use it in a game where a GM would fall for it. However, my favorite move is the 5th one Rf6. This is a strategic and subtle move that took years of programming before a chess engine could even find it. True out of the box thinking.

  • @TTArt
    @TTArt 4 роки тому +1

    In the 4th example (Fischer - Myagmarsuren), I think more brilliant was moving bishop from h3 to g2 square 2 moves before this combination, making it possible to finish it like that. Qxh7 wasn't really that hard or brilliant sacrifice to see with a forced mate in 2 following. But rerouting that bishop from h3 to g2, before inching the queen in through g5, h6 and finally sac on h7 was what made this attack so brilliant. Such a subtle little (but so deadly) move in so dynamic position. One of my favorite Bobby Fischer games and a brilliant example of a King's Indian attack. I've studied this particular game multiple times through various chess books.

    That beautiful smothered mate is probably the most iconic one. Its a reoccurring puzzle that I keep having whenever I play puzzles on chess websites and I find it the most fascinating that at such a young age he found that line where not a lot can usually think of when checkmating an opponent. To this day, this type of position is one I keep remembering.

  • @keithbelton2996
    @keithbelton2996 2 роки тому +2

    The last example, with Rf6 was sublime. I was tempted by the Game of the Century against Byrne, but since we are talking about an individual move, I am going with the game against Benko. The brilliant move in the Byrne game came much earlier when 13-year old (!) Fischer saw the combination coming -- and that far-sighted vision was more impressive IMO.

  • @CellarDoor-rt8tt
    @CellarDoor-rt8tt 4 роки тому

    0:35 I'm only 1500, so this may have been obvious to others, but I think a big part of this moves brilliance comes from the fact that he not only had to see the king takes variation where black has to choose between his queen and being mated, but that he also saw that, after rook takes, Ne6 traps the queen. It's amazing how many different positions Fischer had to analyze just to play this one move
