Enjoy your approach to Chess! It reminds me of my youth when I studied games by the old masters and appreciated their different styles. You have an actual love for the game and a passion for exciting and illuminating games. It would be excellent to see your analysis of the amazing victory of Sultan Khan over JR Capablanca. Can you imagine being able to say that you'd won a tournament game over Capa? Wow!
Happy subscriber here! Noteworthy to me here is his youthful age of 16 yrs old. I'm not an obsessed with youth kind of guy but child genius is still something to observe with additional awe. The so called Game of the Century may be just that because Fischer is only 13 when he sees many move s ahead to the conclusion of the game in his mind and executes it like a boss. Please share the age of the prodigies for that reason. Many thanks for your excellent presentations!
I know that the way you asked the question gave a big hint that the move was outrageous, so maybe it was easier to find, but I sure enjoyed finding it! That is a serious beauty of a move. great vid John Thank you
Really been enjoying your efficient commentary on great historic games over thls last month of getting back into chess. Ben Finegold is no Bobby Fisher... the truth hurts.
Man, that bishop move looks like you are just handing a bishop to your opponent until you realize you can do a quick check, lose a rook but gain a queen.
In the FIDE database there is a Ruben Shocron from USA with a rating of 2260. Apparently same guy in USCF database, a NM, deceased, last played in 2005. Thanks for this game. Love your commentary of great games! 👍
great. At 4.31, could you explain why the pawn on g5 cannot just be taken by black's bishop? I'm sure Fischer had an answer but I can't see why it isn't the best move
Shocron not titled? No slouch fr. Up against one of only a few Top Dogs to ever grace a board. In such a match, not entirely embarrassing yourself is a true accolade. Of course Fischer was only 16 at the time. But it wouldn't be long before Shocron could look at this game in a whole new light...undoubtedly bringing a smile to his face.
ChessDawg, thanks for the amazing Fischer vs. Shocron match video...Errr,,,who are you, sir? :) You must be an IM or GM with that clear and concise analysis, but what is your real name?
Thanks for the compliment. I am not titled. My OTB rating is 2150. My online rating is around 2400. There are links to my online profiles in the description.
It would be nice to tabulate the number of career victories that Bobby and Mikhail Tal had when each played the move White Nd5. When either gentleman positioned the white pony, the player with the Black pieces lost.
I saw it, but I'm not going to take credit lol. I'm sure that after this game was played, analogous scenarios made their way into tactics puzzles. I've done a lot of puzzles!
The Greatest of all Time--Bobby Fischer--a self made World Champion,,,and the very last one. Those who came after were all heads of analytical/computer teams and not The Lone Wolf (A Psychological Murderer) that Bobby was. His obsession is seldom analyzed in terms of--deep in the Middlegame--how often he had "been tere before" in his homework. Bobby took those secrets to the grave in Iceland with him.
Bd7 is actually obvious, as white to play. Your eye instantly goes there. It's a simple tactic. If the queen takes, rook gives check on g6, you pick up the queen, and you have queen for rook. But I think for black to have missed it is more reasonable, since it's an unorthodox way to set up an xray, and black doesn't have the benefit of seeing the position on the board before he plays it Qc8. Shocron probably saw Bd7 the moment he let go of the queen.
It sure looks like it. It takes a computer to really show why that doesn't work. After Rc4 black plays Qd3 hitting the rook with tempo, then when the rook moves he is able to play his rook to b1 and black's threats are too great. But the moves are very hard to see. He plays Qd3 first so his queen aims at the f1 square among other things.
You make great videos. It helps that they are about Fischer, the greatest ever player.

Chess dawg underrated
true
Not by me :)
Definitely! He has a unique style of teaching that communicates ideas very clearly. 😊
Great, fantastic and immortal Bobby Fischer!!! Respect forever!!! 👍👍👍
A very beautiful game. Thank you
Fischer was straight gangster.
Exceptionally well played game, not only by Fischer but also by his opponent. Thanks for this masterpiece ❤

Your videos are great, keep it up. You're doing gods work

Shocron resigned in shoc!
Why aren't you more ashamed?
What a beautiful game. Thank you
Enjoyed that game !
That last move was insane.

USCF says he died in March 2013
Brilliant man preoccupied with impressing the wrong people.
A new ep of "Unsolved Mysteries": Who was the mysterious Ruben Shocron and why did he chess so good?
Great game by Fischer !
Literally saw that move available and immediately was like nah. Totally missed that queen skewer lol! Wow what a player!
Chess Dawg makes my game stronger.
Yes, Bobby Fischer, the all-time greatest (!) makes an all-time great move! Great chess post, too!
I like Fischer games because I can read the comments without spoiling the result.
Your commentary is the best. Which one of your videos covers 3 examples of the Fischer Focus Formations? Are you a distant relative of Scott Jennings?
I’m new to chess what does, the objective attacking and/or putting pressure on empty squares such as D5
great. At 4.31, could you explain why the pawn on g5 cannot just be taken by black's bishop? I'm sure Fischer had an answer but I can't see why it isn't the best move

My thoughts exactly. You must be a genius ;^)
Fischer moves look simple but it is more complicated than it looks.

Bishop d7 is filthy

In 1959 Fischer was not yet what he would become. He was just 16.
I saw it, but I'm not going to take credit lol. I'm sure that after this game was played, analogous scenarios made their way into tactics puzzles. I've done a lot of puzzles!
Very cool 😎
Why doesnt Shocron take the hanging pawn at G5 with his black bishop?
At 4:20, why doesn’t the dark black bishop take the pawn at g5?
@user-cs9is7mh7q wondering the same thing.
Not quite sure but I think after
Bxg5 Nd5 is strong. If Bxf1 than Nf6+. And if Bxd5 Bxg5 with tempo on rook.
Go Chess Dawg!!
What is the name and title of the youtuber? Regardless, the video is very instructive. I would definitely watch more of his videos.
I guessed wrong.
Great!

Rxc4 for white if Qd7
wins a pawn w disc attack on black's Q
can this move be called a mitrofanov attraction?
Why is it that in all these games Bobby Fischer has the white pieces? We almost never see how it handles having the black pieces!
An old chess adage "A knight on f8 prevents mate."
Bd7 is actually obvious, as white to play. Your eye instantly goes there. It's a simple tactic. If the queen takes, rook gives check on g6, you pick up the queen, and you have queen for rook.

If Qd7 instead of Qd8, surely black can play Rc4
It sure looks like it. It takes a computer to really show why that doesn't work. After Rc4 black plays Qd3 hitting the rook with tempo, then when the rook moves he is able to play his rook to b1 and black's threats are too great. But the moves are very hard to see. He plays Qd3 first so his queen aims at the f1 square among other things.
After showing it i looks quite simple - nothing sofisticated. The opponent probably was not concentrated and made the wrong last moves
The board is not perfectly square.
👍🙏
Wow
Yeah well these are just tactics his opponent missed.
Bobby Fischer abhorred computers and what they did to the game.
Just like me. The computers took away the game's secrets.
♟️🐕
Chess is a dead 💀 god Caissa ⚘🌚👍Rest in the good news ⚘ Okay bye
congrats from southern Brasil
I found Bd7! In fact I immidialaty saw it !
