Bobby Fischer's 21-move brilliancy

  • Bobby Fischer creates a chess masterpiece in only 21 moves against Robert Eugene Byrne, an International Master, at the 1963/1964 United States Chess Championship, held in New York. At 20 years young, Grandmaster Robert James Fischer was already among the world's very best chess players. In this brilliancy, Fischer demonstrates how to inject multiple imbalances into a highly symmetrical position, how to properly highlight these differences to benefit oneself, and how to accurately assess the true value of the pieces as they rest on the board.

      I don’t see it, if the game is forced to progress as they saw it would be an inevitable mate, but white’s knights and bishop could easily provide protection against black’s bishop, queen, and rook on move 22 if there wasn’t a resign.

    • @Ayzev
      @Ayzev 4 роки тому +72

      This "fragile ego" is by no means specific to chess players. I don't know about sports, but I do know that this is incredibly common in competitive video games as well. Most people just don't really see a point in playing a game anymore once they know the outcome, and I don't think we should blame them for it, rather the people who don't give up like that should be commended.

    I am a very amateur Chess player. I really enjoyed this video as you explained the most common responses to each move (which made sense to me) and how Bobby deviated from those. He wasn't focusing on the power moves, he was focusing on the checkmate. Moving the pawn instead of attacking. Taking the bishop instead of the rook. These are not moves I would have ever considered, but this really helps me think about chess in a better way (and has renewed my interest in the game). Thanks for this.

    That was pretty good of BF to see that at 18:00 because most ppl would just take the Knight at D4 with the Bishop. Black would still win in the long drawn out end because he is up by one pawn and just needs to trade down to the final. Not many ppl would have seen that move, obviously.

      Here's my take... 17:30 white queen to F2 in order to get out of harm from black bishop to H6?? Hardly my friends. Had the queen stayed put the black bishop could not have gone there, not without at least two moves from black to protect bishop at H6. I'm sorry but the game should not have been resigned. Fisher still could have made a blunder as he was prone to and given momentum back. This was disappointing. And the outcome not so certain as it's being described.
      Another reason why Fischer and his opponents were often over-rated IMO

    I remember reading a story about this game, which if true, speaks to the brilliance of the game. The story goes that while the game was being played there were 2 Grandmasters in another room commentating on the game, move by move, to a paying audience. At some point when Fischer was down in material both Grandmasters agreed that Fischer was in a poor position and predicted that within a few moves Fischer would see the light and probably resign. At that very moment Byrne (the player playing Fischer) resigned. I wonder if there's any truth to this story. Anyone know?

    We are going back in time (nearly 60yrs back from my comment) when chess was played OTB or by mail and Soviet Russia had more GMs and knowledge about chess than anywhere in the world and a young Bobby Fischer absorbed everything ounce of information about chess he could find and that information came from books, magazines and word of mouth.
    His goal was to be the best chess player in the world. The more of his life he gave to chess the more chess took from his life.
    Bobby Fischer was not gifted; he was focused.
    He spent over 10 hours a day working on his goal.
    He became World Champion through hard work and dedication.
    A gift is something that is given and all that Fischer was given was a chance.
    He was awesome at playing chess.
    It’s not fair to say he was gifted when he worked so hard to achieve what he achieved.
    RIP sir
    PS
    We ALL know about what followed after he beat Spassky and how he developed certain points of view and how he became reclusive.
    I prefer to study Fischer the person that played chess and not worry to much about Fischer The Nazi, Fischer The Recluse or Fischer The Tax Dodger etc.

    Nd3 is almost invisible to spot because instinctively you have two defenders, Qd2 and Rd1, but the problem is that the queen would have to be traded to stop that move and that's losing. So logically, RF1 to D1 seems like a good move because you never think you need an extra defender of the f2 pawn. Truly incredible play from Fischer.

      As someone who has never really watched professional chess before, i gotta say I am actually quite appreciative for the meticulous breakdown. It points out a lot of the tactics and strategy, symmetry and other stuff going on that I probably wouldn't otherwise notice outside of the obvious - well if this piece goes here, this one can get it then its in a strong position etc. So by all means, continue being meticulous. Not everyone has studied chess extensively and its nice to have some explanation. So I at least appreciate it.

For example, from 4:15 to 6:45, he takes an entire two-and-a-half minutes to say what could have been equally expressed with, "The positions are mirrored nearly perfectly, with only these two pawns and two these knights [*highlight*] in slightly different places."
      It felt like someone padding an essay for word count. He didn't need to stop and give a detailed explanation of what 'symmetry' means. Someone who is unfamiliar with the concept of symmetry is not someone who is going to be watching a detailed analysis of a fifty-year-old chess game.

    I love chess, I never took a lesson in my life and read a book on how the pieces moved at age 7, and this is simply brilliant to me...... Not many people truly play chess in this area. Thanks for sharing!

      Thankfully, the local population of chess players isn't really a problem anymore due to online chess nowadays. Isn't it great that I can now play a match with some Canadian at 2 am and one with a Japanese at 4 pm? Around the clock, matches are available.

    Is it a liability, is it an asset, or is it owner's equity? #accountingjokes

    Hi ChessNetwork, thank you for this great explanation/tutorial on Fisher's master move! Great explanations, Ciao, L

      One grandmaster who kept losing to Fisher was asked why and he replied:
      "Because his moves DON'T MAKE any SENSE!" LOL! Which of course means that he just couldn"t see what Fisher was trying to accomplish by them until it was too late.

    This reminds me of how I usually lose, only it doesn't take that long.

      It comes from not seeing all of the available moves. Amateur players tend to forget about their pawns after they have started playing the big pieces, but as seen here, the pivotal move was a pawn attacking. Develop your pawns early for the purpose of using them later like Fischer did.
