This game is amazing. When I was in middle school my friend and I were playing chess and he found a Fischer book, Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess. He focuses on different tactics like Pins, Back Rank Mates and other things. And it really shows in his rook plays at the end.
I think he pretty much does every video actually explains why there’s no more to be done or what the outcome will be after so and so move Agadmator=Thorough
Fischer beat the weakest chess World champion Boris Spassky only 17 wins 11 losses! You can not lose 11 times against awful blunder maker Spassky! Carlsen 100 times better than Spassky!
At 8:10 in the video, there is a better move than Kg7. Rxf6 - the rook can take the knight as a free piece. Checkmate would ensue if white captures either of Black’s rooks in this exact position. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
For your knowledge. The reason that we don't Play Bxb6 in the oppening is not because the engine says don't do it, it's because you can't give up your strongest minor piece, if you give it up, you no longer control the darksquares, and as white has already advanced f4-f5 the King becomes more fulnerable. You don't need an engine to understand this
I dont think anything was wrong with Bxb6 I mean what else are you gonna play that isnt much worse? And the early f4-f5 ideas itself doesnt seem to work to well anymore. I am by no means an expert at all but personally I think the entire Bc4 system is a bit lackluster for white if black knows their theory. I think the Bg5 is a lot more scary but that goes for both sides:) or even the g3 system can actually be dangerous if black does not know top modern theory.
@@ryoma1412 Instead of Bxb6 the usual Plan as you said is to Play Bg5 and trade on f6, another is to develop the queen to e2 Play RAd1, and prepare g4-g5
@@mrmarkstv6585 yeah but unfortunately it does not seem like white is in time at all before black bust open the queenside. Maybe the crazy 9. g5 would be interesting but alltogether maybe the a3 line is not so good
I put it into the engine because I was curious too. It's not catastrophic to take the pawn, but black goes from slightly better to slightly worse because the sequence that follows leads to white getting a little initiative: Nxe4 Nxe4 Bxe4 Ng3 Bb7 Nh5 was what looked most natural to me and white is threatening f6, Qg4 is an idea etc. Still pretty even in the engine evaluation, but black is on the back foot.
In case you don't already know, he has many videos covering Bobby's career on his channel but some of them are a few years old. Regardless, you can't go wrong with more Fischer games.
damnit, turns out i was wrong, and world champions are good at chess. who would have tought,? just realized the queen could capture the rook and black would be screwed...
That ...Qe3 move is so powerful and infiltrating, and is why Black won, but yet I could NEVER pull off a move like that in a real game. I'm still not sure why White didn't kick the Black queen away with his rook. Perhaps he thought moving his Knight was more clever, as Fischer would'nt expect that. Either way, if you allow the opponent to anchor their Queen in your ranks that early then your defeat is assured.
In the pause the moment video, I thought of Rxf6. I thought it was a free knight, but white has a deadly response which I missed. Of course, white can’t take the rook.
Can somebody explain why the e4 pawn was not taken by black when white played knight to e2? Blacks knight and bishop are attacking it with only whites knight defending and my rookie self cannot see the follow up..
after captures, captures Ng3 black has to do something about his hanging bishop. It doesn't matter much if you support it with d5 or retreat to b7. In either case, white plays f6 and gets a very nice attack. Given that Black already has a wonderful position its probably not worth ruining it for a pawn you really don't need.
Agad can I suggest trying removing the border of the chessboard from the layout? I think it might look a little bit cleaner that way. Either way great content!
At 9:32 you did not explain why White could not play Ne4. The reason is Qf4! similar to Ng4,Qf4. Now White would like to defend with Ng3 but the N is pinned to the Q.
Was Fischer in a secure facility or something when this game was played? I didn’t know correspondence games were allowed in tournaments, seems like you could easily cheat
This is explained in the excellent book, My 60 Memorable Games by Fischer. Bobby was not allowed to travel to Havana, so they arranged for him to play in the tournament via a “radio” format from New York. Bobby was put in a room, and the opponent’s moves were sent by radio from Havana to an arbiter in New York. The arbiter would then visit Bobby in the room, convey the move, and await Bobby’s reply.
#suggestion Could you do a game from Aditya Samant who just became a GM at 17? Samant-Predke 2022 looks like a decent game with an ELO spread >250, a couple of piece sacrifices and then a QRNN vs QRR ending. Maybe we will see more of Samant in the future like the other young Indian GMs.
I'm sure there is a reason.. but instead of Kg7 attacking that knight on the pause the video part of this.. why not Rxf6.. just take the knight outright

It's amazing to see how Fischer never runs out of excellent games to make videos. Goat indeed
What I like most about Fischer is how nearly chaotic his playing could be. I hold the same distaste for what chess has largely become. No imagination!

Yes if he was alive today and about 30 years old with

Rxf6 - the rook can take the knight as a free piece. Checkmate would ensue if white captures either of Black’s rooks in this exact position.
Please correct me if I’m wrong.
The problem is Qh4+ and Qxf6+
of course fishcer saw it and it doesn’t work.
That queen on E3 was like Sauron's tower.

How are you, and your family?
quite well, thank you!
"we don't argue with the engines"😅
Afther Black bishop to B7, white played pawn F5. Than black pawn E5 and Knight E2. Why Fisher didn’t grab white pawn on E4??

This layout/colour scheme is much better. An improvement not only from the update but also the original.
fisher was such a savage
I'm loving the new interface. Great job!
Fischer had a crystal clear understanding of chess.
Agadmator absolutely nailed the pronunciation of Max Euwe. That's as good as it gonna get for a non Dutch speaker.
8:45 why not simply take a rook at f2 by knight?
In the end, why could Fischer not play Rxf3 instead of Kg7 winning the knight right away?
F6
That was the move I found too (Rxf6 that is). I was surprised it wasn't played.
Qh4+ Kg7 Qxf6+ followed by Rxa8 and black gets mated
This Fischer guy was pretty good.
Why didn't Fischer capture the pawn on e4 after 12. Nde2 ?
Why not?
Too much counterplay for white, d5 would be terribly weak afterwards.
I put it into the engine because I was curious too. It's not catastrophic to take the pawn, but black goes from slightly better to slightly worse because the sequence that follows leads to white getting a little initiative:
Nxe4 Nxe4 Bxe4 Ng3 Bb7 Nh5 was what looked most natural to me and white is threatening f6, Qg4 is an idea etc. Still pretty even in the engine evaluation, but black is on the back foot.

I like the new layout
yeah it is better
at 7:36 if the rook just captures the knight on f6, what is the next move? Qh3+, then Kg7, and white has nothing? Rxa1, Rf4 almost traps queen..
damnit, turns out i was wrong, and world champions are good at chess. who would have tought,? just realized the queen could capture the rook and black would be screwed...
And it now as of move 17 that we have a completely new game
Nice layout of the screen BTW.
One could further consolidate the fonts, though.
#Suggestion - Oscar Panno v Boris Spassky. Incredible attack beginning with a knight sacrifice, ending with a total destruction against Spassky
That ...Qe3 move is so powerful and infiltrating, and is why Black won, but yet I could NEVER pull off a move like that in a real game. I'm still not sure why White didn't kick the Black queen away with his rook. Perhaps he thought moving his Knight was more clever, as Fischer would'nt expect that.

Why doesnt qe2 work before kicking away the knight
@Agadmator serious question📛📛📛
Why do I never see you commentating on live chess streams? I would really love your input during live streams! #Stan
Normally you have to be either IM or GM to be commentator on live chess, unless am missing something, at least on pro chess tournaments
I found Qe2 but I can't figure out why I need to move the King first...
In the pause the moment video, I thought of Rxf6. I thought it was a free knight, but white has a deadly response which I missed. Of course, white can’t take the rook.
I saw Ra8xra1 as a good move, as white's only choice is Rf1xra1, then black rook at f2 gets a free knight at f6.
@jimsladepoe1275 yeah I expected that as well, don't see anything wrong with that, it's pretty much forced
I was looking for this comment! I thought white had no response to to …Rxf6
But I totally missed Qh4+ following which white violates
Am I missing something, why didn’t he capture the pawn at 3:02?
Amaizing game
3:32 Hi Antonio. Fyi, Stockfish 16 at depth=40 actually does have 15.Be3xb6 as the preferred move.
Exactly so, white's game is already difficult.

Instead of Kg7, is it not M7 with the sequence Rxa1, Rxa1, Rxg2, Kxg2m Qf2, Kh3, Qf3, Kh4, Qf6, Kh3, Qf3, Kh4, Bd8# not work???

Yay Bobby content let’s goooooooooooo!
at 7:31 , why not just Rf2xKnf6 ?
You can just write Rxf6. Also its "N" not "Kn" for knight.
i will answer myself, qh4 check, is why not.......
Why not knight captures rook? Saves the knight and trades up. 8:46
Agad can I suggest trying removing the border of the chessboard from the layout? I think it might look a little bit cleaner that way. Either way great content!

7:42 I believe that ...Rxf6 is even better here
Thought so too, why does it not work?
Oh Qh4+ picks up the rook with check, so no time to capture on a1
... Rxf6 would lose terribly to Qh4 + followed by Qxf6
1:53
Instead of k-g7 why not just rook takes the knight?
