Once Bobby Fischer made his debut at age 14 in the U.S. Championship with the 1957-58 event, he dominated completely, winning on each of his eight attempts, leaving Reshevsky, the seven-time former champion, back in the chasing pack. There was little love lost between the two players, separated by a generation in age. Ahead of the Buenos Aires 1960 tournament, Reshevsky reportedly said, "I would settle for 19th place - if Fischer placed 20th." Reshevsky in fact won the Buenos Aires 1960 tournament, with Fischer well back; this was the only time Reshevsky finished ahead of Fischer in an international tournament.
In 1961 Reshevsky began a 16-game match with the then-current U.S. Champion Fischer; it was jointly staged in New York and Los Angeles. Despite Fischer's recent meteoric rise, consensus opinion favored Reshevsky. After eleven games and a tie score (two wins apiece with seven draws), the match ended due to a scheduling dispute between Fischer and match organizer Jacqueline Piatigorsky, with Reshevsky receiving the winner's share of the prize fund.
In the 1967 Sousse Interzonal, Fischer turned up 53 minutes late (only seven minutes short of an automatic time forfeiture) for his game with Reshevsky, and made his opening move without a word of apology. Reshevsky, who had been convinced that Fischer had withdrawn from the tournament, lost the game badly and complained furiously to the organizers. Despite losing that game, Reshevsky advanced to the next stage. Reshevsky also refused to play for the U.S. team in the Chess Olympiads of 1960, 1962 and 1966 because Fischer, as U.S. champion, was chosen ahead of him for the top board. He did, however, finally consent to play on a lower board in 1970, the only time the two men appeared in the same team.
Although Reshevsky and Fischer had one of the fiercest rivalries in chess history, Fischer greatly respected the older champion, stating in the late 1960s that he thought Reshevsky was the strongest player in the world in the mid-1950s, around the time when he defeated world champion Mikhail Botvinnik in their four-game mini-match, which was the top board of the USA vs USSR team match held in Moscow.
It was only in 1968, in his 57th year, that he finally lost a match where he had time for extensive preparation. This was against Viktor Korchnoi in Amsterdam in the first round of the Candidates. The match was scheduled for ten games but the younger Grandmaster proved too much for Reshevsky, who didn't win a game and lost by the final score of 5½-2½.
During his long chess career, Reshevsky played eleven of the first twelve World Champions, from Emanuel Lasker to Anatoly Karpov, the only player to do so (he met Garry Kasparov but never played him). He defeated seven World Champions: Lasker, José Raúl Capablanca, Alexander Alekhine, Max Euwe, Mikhail Botvinnik, Vasily Smyslov, and Bobby Fischer.

Great explanation of a famous game. I learned something. Don't play Fischer.
Locutus D'Borg A lot of people learned that first hand :)
agadmator's Chess Channel Lol!
Agad mator i followed you on lichess!
You spineless cowards, I would LOVE to get my butt kicked by Fischer 24/7. It would also make him worse :P
Cleverconure There is nothing brave/great in playing a match with anybody if you are only playing, knowing you have no chance. What I consider bravery is, when Magnus when he was 13 years of age, played Kasparov! Thats called bravery. Not random junk below 2500 to challenge one of the greatest players!
UA-cam just cut the title in half so it said "Bobby Fischer Beats a grandma-"
Kornél Késmárki the reason why I acutally clicked this vid
Gold.
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA
I guess that's better than "Bobby Fischer Mates a grandma-"
Oliver Reichenbach I hate you and love you
Commentary is clear and to-the-point. The background material on Samuel Reshevsky is an added plus. Obviously lots or research went into the preparation of this short video. My man agadmator has the heart of a teacher.
+Pierre Groussac Thamk you for tour kind words. I don't comsider myself a teacher, but when I started my channel, I thought to myself: The world s a big place, and surely there are people who would be interested in these stories in the same fashion I am. Again, thanks Pierre
You're a teacher my man. It's your gift. Have a great day.
At 4:04 why can't the King move to h8????? It's not necessary to capture the bishop at all, isn't it?????? ;) lol - and what is *Thamk* you
Ne6 trapping the queen
@@srikanths7873 still the knight goes to e6 to trap the queen, and the bishop doing just fine. It'll be more fatal for reshevsky afterwards.
I just hit that, "I suck worse than I thought" moment. I literally do not predict a single move in this match.
Me too lol
I predicted one move fishers opening lol
I've just started to play chess on my phone and I was actually not that bad until I realised it was on the easiest difficulty! I raised it to normal and every game ended in a draws I kept checking the king lol. I have no idea what I'm doing tbh and don't understand the concepts but from my little experience I'm rather enjoying learning through trial and error. Anyone have any suggestions on some places to maybe pick up a few basics?
@@stolenname94 look at chess.com it will teach a lot
I predicted rook takes on e7 and that's it hahaah
The best is the “He can resign here” lag my brain has while trying to figure out how in the world this benefits fischer
Same here. Someone please explain why bf7 warrants black to even consider resigning.
@@NARDO422 bf7 removes one of the 2 pawns defending e6, which forces a knight for queen trade
Same haha.
It's crazy how many steps fischer saw for checkmate for both scenarios
same. all those fisher moves looked terrible to me. lol
Fischer always looks like he is playing so defensively, then bammm!! He stole your lunch money and is drinking your milk.
Cleaned his clock
@@slimbravo8778 i read as cock *
i read as glock
@@Undesignedd I would be too after winning like that
I think it was a milkshake....Fischer had a really long straw.

@@robertreid4986 no. And no.
I aint got a fucking clue about chess and i still watched this.
UA-cam is weird.
When it's stuff I don't know about, I usually watch on a higher speed because I know I'm not going to get EVERYTHING, so I might as well get what I will with little knowledge AFAP.
Still easy when you get the hang of it, because it all does boil down to how the peices move. The trick is figuring out all the possible moves for all the peices on the board. The further in advance that you can predict the moves the more success you have. My friends would try to out-think me, three moves in advance. I was out-predicting them 14 moves in advance - for every peice on the board.
Lol not even grandmasters can calculate 14 moves with certainty because of all the possibilities. You're spewing bullshit
KhaosNG same lol
Me to!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Watching this in 2020: what a development this channel has had! Congratulations, you are an excellent UA-camr.
Same. Compared to now, Agad looks disinterested here. Or he just woke up lol.
I played casual game with Sammy at US OPEN 1983-Pasadena, CA. It was held (darn the name) on Oak Knoll. He was so kind (must've been close to 90yo. I was 17, an A class player
Actually, the name of this trap would be Bastrikov, Because , this game had been played between Bastrikov - Shamkovich in Sochi 1958. And the game had been published in the chess magazin ' Shakhmaty v CCCP' , approximately six month ago of the game Fischer - Reshevsky . Of course Fischer read it (as you explain) but Reshevsky didn't.
serdar celik Thank you for this elaboration. Very nice :)
Thank you for this info. It's new to me. And a good 'new' anecdote or story, gets me a round of drinks at my local chessclub. ;-)
Thank you
i think the trap is called DontBeStupidMoveYourCenterPawnsOut
yes but after 9...Nxb3, 10.exf6 etc. the game isn't that clear to me (two minor pieces for a rook and a pawn)
Fischer can make GM's look like 1200 players lol
Narrowc ross *crying in 700...*
Keep trying. It's proven that chess raises your IQ
Alexandre Silva IQ denotes nothing, IQ =/= Intelligence. there's a reason Stephen Hawking calls IQ tests bullshit.
he didnt type of intelligence, dont get triggered
So does practicing at IQ tests.
Bobby Fisher was the best player in the United States at the age of 14. One year later, he became the youngest player to reach Grand Master status. When he was 20 years old, Mr Fisher won the 63/64 US championship with 11 wins, in 11 games. No draws like today’s players. Not even the great genius of Magnus can claim such brilliance. In my opinion, he is the GOAT.
Watching it now in 2020, and I'm just so impressed to realize how much agadmator improved in 3 years.
Same in 2022
As someone who plays chess only casually this is freaking insane

Not really

Antonio, just wanted to comment on how crazy it is to think how much your channel has progressed and improved (sound quality, comments/analysis, even your enthusiasm) in just a year since this video was posted. Keep it up, good sir, loving the content!
Your videos are incredible. The lever of detail is inspiring. Thanks so much for making these. I really appreciate your work.
I love the small pause. The smallest glint of anger that agadmator displays when reshevsky falls for the trap. Beautiful
Wow. Wonderful commentary.
Yes i agree.
AWESOME VIDEO!!!! THIS IS FISCHER, DON'T MESS WITH HIM!!! Imagine of this happened today to a top ten player?
Stephen Hughes But still, even with this blunder, Tal finished this tournament in first place
+Stephen Hughes Wesley So overlooked a queen this week. A one move move, no combination involved :)
I'm both in awe and distress watching these video's. Awe at the genius of Grandmasters, and distress at how lowly I feel in comparison to them.
His "hello everyone" has evolved so much :o
Very well made video, enjoyed it very much! subbed
Thanks you Deansy :)
Looking back on this it's crazy to see how much Agadmator's channel has grown. Easily my favorite Chess channel out there right now. I also very much love the playlists on specific openings and players.
good to see 1M views on a chess video 👏👏
It was a well played title to the video. Start with the big name Bobby Fischer, substitute the lesser known guys name with "Grandmaster" which is enticing, then bring it home with "10 moves!" which isn't totally true but he wisely explains it within the title to not piss anybody off. I believe agadmator is well on his way to UA-cam Video Title Grandmaster.

it isn’t even his most popular video
I never really appreciated the greatness of Bobby Fischer until recently after watching some of these videos. Just amazing! I’ve been teaching my kids how to play chess and to see the big picture and to look ahead and the possible scenarios that can unfold for both players. It’s a truly awesome game and it’s really cool that allot of people on UA-cam are bringing back some of the amazing players for everyone to see.
5:10 Bobby played Bb3 on move 8!
This is one my favorite game and I liked how you presented it.
Thanks for your video Agad!
+Gabriel Thanks Gabriel :)
You know, and I think that I can speak for everyone, Bobby "Boom Boom" Fischer had several "Trap" moves, "Meanie Queenie," "Rook the Crook," "Punt the Pawn," "Nighty Knight," and "Boot the Bishop" just to name a few. It's generally considered that like Spassky, Bobby had a winning strategy after seeing the opponents 3rd or 4th move. Also, in private, Bobby liked to call Spassky "Spaz" due to his unusually strong BO.
5 minutes of video only but definitely full of history, analysis, interesting facts, etc. Great video. I loved it brother.
I love this channel . This year's family Christmas party I am ready. Thank you
"in his career he faced 11 world champions"
me: ahhh whatever, maybe he just got lucky on the schedule
"he beat 7 of them"
me: ooooooooo sh*t
I love that finally agadmator gets the credit he deserves.. 500.000 subs incoming 🔥
I am an absolute novice but I just wanted to say I appreciated your video. A good teacher can make the complicated easy for the beginner but still teach those with experience.
Chess is such a beautiful game these videos are awesome! Thank you for taking your time to do this for everyone.
You were so nervous, you have developed a quality style
I'd love to hear you commenting on my games:
I can't believe he made a blunder on every move.
Yea, that is kinda how it would sound if he commented on mine ... "Well on move eight he exits the book lines, and like the others it is with a blunder where his opponent could have immediately won with ..."
That's perfection of a kind.
Agad has been bringing us these quality explanations for some years now! Many thanks Agad
This is an amazing channel. This clip is what inspired me to subscribe. Thank you for creating this wonderful resource.
Bobby was definitely a genius and really brave. It's not always easy to name your enemy, but he did it fearlessly.
If memory serves(and at my age if often does not)
Reshevsky defeated Capablanca
And after the match reporters were interviewing both.
A reporter asked Capablanca how many moves ahead he was able to plan
Capablanca responded with some extraordinary number that greatly
impressed the writers.
The writers then asked Reshevsky the same question, and he said "one, the best one"
lmao that's funny
Your memory was close but according to chess historian Edward Winter after Capablanca lost to Charles Jaffe in New York 1913 a reporter asked Jaffe how
many moves he saw ahead and Jaffe explained “I see only one move ahead, but always the best move. ”That is sufficient.’'
You’re a treasure. I’ve found this game again, thanks to you.greetings from the desert of Arizona, USA.
Thanks for posting this and explain it very well!
A friend asked Fischer to help him to be a stronger player of chess. Fischer borrowed him a complete chess encyclopedia book and told him to read and to study it meticulousely, which he actually did. After six months he brought the book back to Fischer and asked to him what's next. Fischer's answer was "congratulation my friend, now go home and do it one more time again"
It's loaned or lent; borrow is what the friend did.
Cold blooded
What's the point?
Nice video! Hope to see more in the future. Keep it up!
+Heinrich Hartmann Thank you, hope I will :)
Heinrich Hartmann u

❤I am watching this video now (2023) and I must say you have tremendously improved. Kudos to you Agadmator.
Thanks!
As a casual player back in the early 80's, I had an electronic chessboard called "Excalibur Chess", which had 5 skill levels to play against. I discovered that against up to Level 3, I could use a Bishop to capture a pawn on F7 before Black had Castled, and force the King to capture the Bishop, which then began an inevitable walk to its doom. Reshevsky should have studied Level 4. Nice Video!
Holy crap! I owned one of those too. The pieces had the magnets on the bottom of them. It was hard for me to beat the computer back then, but i was just 8 or 9.
1M views. Congrats.
Excellent video and also very good commentary and analysis!
Thank you for this video! Great piece of content!
Me: he shoukd have taken it with the king
You: infact if he used the king its even worse and ends in checkmate sooner
Excelente video tyrion
First match I was ever able to follow.... well done.
I just subscribed, even tho I rarely play chess. It's just incredibly interesting to see how complex the thought process of professional players in this game is. Keep up the interesting work!
Kind of ironic that Fischer learned about this position by reading a Russian magazine: (1) because he complained about prep instead of creativity so much and (2) because he wanted to badly to beat the Russians, but at his earliest he learned from them
Like in the Art of War you must know yourself and your enemy
awesome way of commenting a chess game, short, sharp and witty!
felt lazy
That was awesome. I love the Dynamics
I loved the pace of the commentary. Fischer was the epitome of the guy who has crossed that fine dividing line between genius and insanity.
Nigel Guest He was never insane he just said many things that are unacceptable to many people. He was clearly a genius so.... was he right??? Maybe
@Tom Scott He was a white supremacist, think about what you're saying. If you're a troll, you're not a funny one.

Great content. I really enjoyed this video.
Thanks! A highly interesting opening! Never seen before....
I swear theres a guy in my town looking just like you. Genetics are hilarious sometimes
I always have to watch normal videos on 1.5x or even 2x speed, but these chess videos make me feel so dumb and lost that I have to watch on 0.75x speed and rewatch again and again to keep up.
Great explanation. I appreciate that you got to the point and didn't beat around the bush with unnecessary longwinded explanations.
The game was 42 moves long. I suppose Reshevsky didn`t want to resign quickly because of `pride issues`. Maybe he doubted Bobby`s conversion skills.
Srbija Tim Chess I was doing the video from memory and I thought he resigned faster, but yes, it was 42 moves. I still think it was due to his pride, he played Bobby before and knew that he would surely convert this. But ok, who knows. Odličan mi je vaš kanal btw :)
I appreciate your enthusiasm and love for the game!
Looking forward to new material :)
I came here after @agadmator hits one million... you were so depressed loool
thanks for your work
I loved it, thank you very much!!
That's why a solid study of strategy and tactics is essential. The pin is just about the most basic tactic in chess and even a battle tested veteran was hit by it.
That's also why Fischer won.
Well yea, the pin is the best thing in the world. ...I assume, I'm just an amateur, but I always love pins.
Revealed check attacking queen!
I see Bobby Fischer as the only pure chess mathematician who can calculate his sum to the point. different from others...
What a difference to today’s videos. Great improvement, congratulations
Ajde napokon neko nas da zna sta radi! Svaka cast! :))
Here from YT's recommendations Never thought I'd find chess videos interesting ;d
2:57 -- Does "Bobby's Trap" actually work for if Black takes the bishop? (Clearly he's lost, as we see in the game, if he tries to save the knight on f6.) ...but if Nxb6, exf6, Nxa1, fxg7, Nxc2+, Qxc2, Kxg7, then Black has captured a bishop, a rook, and two pawns (10 points in material) and created a passed d-pawn while losing two knights and a bishop (9 points worth of pieces). The engine doesn't like Black's position, initially granting over +2 to White, but that +2 does not climb as the engine crunches ro greater depth -- indicating that Black can hold to a draw with good play.
Bobby played many games that demonstrated why taking the Bishop is a bad idea.
Good Call Good Game what a Dynamic offense incredible move capturing that Queen Whoa
Thank you for these explanations.
3:29 not satisfied face 😂
It's worth noting that Reshevsky had in his childhood also been a chess prodigy. Fischer was in this respect the inheritor of Reshevsky's mantle, but he took it all the way to the top.
Fischer was 100 times better than Reshevsky. Sam was US champion several times on and off during the 30s and 40s, then Fischer won it 8 times in a row and stopped, and then Sam started winning it again on and off for decades. But in the 8 times that Fischer entered it, Reshevshy didn't have a snowman's chance in Brazil.
@@hyzercreek Oh I'm not saying Reshevsky was anywhere near Fischer's equal, just that they had the same start at an early age.
I love how much the videos have improved. Still a great video!

For a GM to lose so quickly really shows how amazing this game of chess really is.
It shows how amazing Fishers game really was..
