The name Bobby Fischer, at least to Americans, is synonymous with chess. A prodigy in the 50s, a world class player in the 60s, the 70s saw Fischer at his pinnacle. He earned the right to challenge Boris Spassky in a title run without comparison, defeating Mark Taimanov and Bent Larsen with perfect scores of 6-0, and ex-champion Petrosian 6½-2½. Now the stage was set, and the only thing standing between Fischer and Spassky was Fischer himself.
The match was mired in political overtones, during the height of the Cold War. The Soviet chess system had a monopoly on the title since 1948, and the expectations on Spassky were enormous. While Fischer studied chess virtually in seclusion, Spassky had the full resources of the USSR. Victor Baturinsky, head of Soviet Chess Sports Committee, said: "Basically, the Soviet leadership and the powers that be in sport, were interested in just one issue: how to stop Fischer from becoming World Champion.
With the match set to begin in Reykjavik, Iceland, Fischer (who had not signed any documents confirming his participation) began to make a number of demands, including a percentage of television rights, a larger prize fund, and all manner of conditions covering everything from the lighting to the chair cushions. To satisfy Bobby's demands of a larger prize fund, British chess promoter James Slater donated a dazzling $125,000 to be added to the prize fund. Fischer still needed more convincing by Bill Lombardy (Fischer's last-minute choice as second), and one famously persuasive telephone call from Henry Kissinger. Mere hours before he would be forfeited, Fischer arrived in Iceland.

I'm not good at chess. I understand the basics and rules, but I don't play it well. Nonetheless, since I found your channel, I've grown to like the game better, understand more the history, the plays, and the games.
Thanks for your great work and entertainment.
Same for me. I was afraid to be the only one noob in the middle of a crowd of chess geniuses. We should play together once :-))
I agree! I'm from Switzerland and I like those vids very much! I didn't think chess could be funny, intelligent and beautiful at the same time but agadmator can do it! Enjoy!
Remember to simply have fun! At the end of the day, it's just a game.
Indeed it is. And it is so beautifull to watch and play that I don't mind losing :-)
I too am horrible at this noble game but it does not detract from the joy I get from watching “ The Master from Croatia “. Agad you have a gift that I do not believe can be improved upon. I now play on chess. com against the computer , on a very low level. This after a 40 year hiatus. One thing now tho , I don’t throw the pieces anymore.
"It's not all black and white"
Agadmator even cracked himself up with that one haha
Were you watching him when his videos kept getting put down by the algorithm cuz he it kept hearing white beats black 🤣
Spassky complies under fischer's conditionds but also plays with openings fischer's good at. Definitely a very nice guy!!
Kept Fischer on his toes. But both are legends..
The actual story behind is Spassky was being poisoned with radiation by the Americans before and after games, Fischer was being fucked with by the soviets due to frequencies they had admitting from the cameras at the event. Fischer requested a different room away from the noise and Spassky agreed, probably because he knew what was going on. People don’t realize Spassky was forced to play in fear by the Russians. It was all political
@@erikkummerfield8701 where did you get that info? Source please? I would like to read about that
@@jakeyork8519 it was in bobby fischer vs the world the documentary
There’s something quite brag-able about beating someone at their own game.
"Fischer was actually there on time"
The full time on the clock variation....interesting
*Spassky makes move* "Brilliant move by Spassky here, this gives him four openings for a devastating attack."
*Fischer makes move* "The best Spassky can hope for is a draw."
I have no idea what I'm watching but the fact that so much can change in one move is thrilling to me.
I can't think of another game where so much can change in an instant.
14:57 when you cant decide whether to say covering or guarding so you say governing :D
Zsuzsanna Vas technically a poetic way to say occupying or... the same thing
Very perceptive of you to notice that
Very perceptive, congratulations you are an excellent language inspector
Pedro, I'm not an excellent language inspector, I'm just here for the show.
It works!
Yes, I enjoyed that very much.
I especially like hearing about and learning more of Spassky. Your analysis is an introduction of him to me, and has transformed my thoughts of him from that of a Soviet era, (evil empire), machine to Nice Russian guy that loves chess and competition.
It's always nice to step away from ignorance :-) Thank you!
If you dig deeper you will also transform your thoughts about Soviet Union.
Yeah, right.
zhilber21 * our thoughts.. ;)
"Big trouble for moose and squirrel"
even the kiddie cartoons were/are propaganda
love this channel
I remember enjoying his commentaries very much when there were episodes of the BBC's The Master Game on youtube. "I make this move ... with great pleasure!"
Agadmator, please pin this comment as it will give interior insight on this game from Spassky's side. Source: The book about this match by Nikolai Krogius.
This variation was a novelty home-cooked by Spassky, Iivo nei, Geller and Krogius. Instead of 21.h5 they planned to play exchange rooks on d file and play Rd8, that was a home-preparation. Spassky spent 45 minutes on this move and played h5. After the game Geller interrogated Spassky about that move, he rebuked him saying "let us say the two moves are equally good, then you could spend those 45 minutes on our home prepared variant if you did not forget." Spassky replied he did not forget 21.Rd8 but said that he thought h5 is better. Then Geller rebuked even more saying "you did not forget and did not play. You did not trust us?"
The book gives their home variation, I checked it via Droidfish and it says Black is winning. The score starts with -0.65 and increases the depth increases. Spassky was to exchange rooks and play Rd8 instead of h5.
Karpov says in his interview (Karpov on Fischer) that that was a winning line and a novelty created by Spassky's team but Spassky did not memorize the analysis saying "I will find the moves over the board."
EDIT: It has been years since I read the book in Russian, the way I recalled it might not be precise. I may be confusing the conversations but I am sure Geller rebyked Spassky and the home-prepared continuation was to exchange the rooks and play Rd8. and I recall quiet sure Spassky spent 45 minutes on that move according to Krogius.
Yes, Geller was very upset after this game, and it has something to do with game no 3. in this match after which Spassky said that he forgot the continuation in Benoni that was home prepared - he played Nc4 instead of Bb2, which was suggested to Spassky's team by young GM Vasiukov.
Krogius book gives great insight in state of Spassky's psychology before and during this match. My opinion is that, in general, he wasn't any weaker than Fischer, if you compare them in their prime, but I think that Spassky was totally burned outafter two extremely difficult WC cycles and matches against Keres, Tal, Korchnoi, Petrosian, and that affected him not just in Reykyavik, but his whole later chess career, which is great pitty because, in my opinion, he was one of the greates pure chess talents you'll ever see.
Mind boggling the memory and analytical skills of these GMs. To remember and incorporate games from years before blows my mind! The number of variations of a chess match has to be in the millions. Take a very young genius who loves the game and add obsession and a tireless work ethic and years of experience and you may become great. Maybe learn 3 or 4 foreign languages so you peruse other countries chess literature and maybe you play for the world championship. I understand why these guys had so many demands as they were playing for chicken feed in sub par conditions for Masters of their craft who should have a been granted any atmosphere they wanted. I guess chess has never had the respect it deserves. Another superior analysis from a Master of the youtube!!!
to be fair the sponsors needed the footage for revenue, otherwise the championship could never be set up
Once again amazing job on your preparation, makes me think if you have an Efim helping on the background too. Cheers!
The only thing that's faster than light is me when I click on Agadmator's notifications for this amazing series
Same
What's the idea here?
Then your mass is not constant 😂😂
@Osama Canaan
😂No , not in this life.....😋
@Osama Canaan 🤦🏻♂️ you draw some wild conclusions
As an American teenager in 1972 I'll never forget Shelby Lyman and his live presentation of these games on PBS (in New York, it was channel 13, lol). By far the most fun I've ever had regarding chess!
"Although he wouldn't do it against spassky ".... I doubt that one 😂
Just like he wouldn't play 11.Nxd5
Hell of a good game, hell of a good series as were all the previous series. Look forward to your videos every day.
brilliant analysis, really enjoyed your breakdown of the lines as the middle devolved into the endgame. and man, your dog loves that couch! thanks for all your amazing work, only found you since being locked in because of the virus, makes me want to play again!
Because of the information you shared on Fischer, I Googled his name to see why he was so weird! I was shocked by his personal history and his unstable state of mind! Poor crazy genius!
fischer was normal
Especially the orange Jews!
@@nebojsazakic He was actually woke
I've been following your videos and series for a long while now, but I've never commented for some reason. You're doing an amazing job with these analyses. I just wanted to say thank you for the content!
Good job!
This Fischer series is fantastic. Thank you for doing it.
You are the only channel that I turned notifications for AND also watched all the channel's videos.
Really there's no bad video here, while I was waiting for you to upload the Fischer series I went to see if there was a video that I could watch from your channel but found that I already watched them all!
Needless to say I had to re-watch some Tal games again, they never lose their magic.
Hey agadmator, we really appreciate you putting so much work into your videos and increasing our vast knowledge of the past (so we may not repeat their mistakes in our own games!), you have really improved over time and brighten our every day!
I like watching this guys evaluations of matches. Great analysis and program. Thank you!
I’m loving the Fischer series! As a long time supporter, your channel has grown so much. Genuinely good content. I hope to buy you a beer over some chess games one day. Cheers!
This particular game is impressive. It's like game between two powerful engines
one of the best commentary by agad. thx so much.
what a strong game it was
18:36...captures captures. Love hearing it every time!
Thank you. I was actually alive during this match; it was an electric time in my life and in the U.S. Your commentary on these games have really helped me to understand them.
@Descartes' Apparition A lot of people thought something like that.
When Fischer attack, no one could resist, its beautiful.
Finally! The best game I've seen so far. Thank you.
Hello Agadmator!
Your coverage of these matches are like seasons of Game of Thrones to me
Every season more intriguing than the previous one
And as expected the final season starts with a bang
P.S:
If Fischer's series was made into a TV series, what will the title be?
A song of white and black may be
Ugh Snap! This goes into my cringe compilation!
U are complete nerd like me.. hahahah
Boo Radley are you a 9 yr old or a normal redditor?
#nineyearoldarmy 👏👏
Except season eight would be a massive disappointment!
Thank you for your excellent posts and insights; I have been enjoying your videos and you are making me enjoy chess again too. Your patient dog is also delightful!
That was a brilliant, deep and clever game, with excellent analysis.
Thank you Agadmator.
Hadnt play for 30! years, now i play everyday since 3 months lose 90% of the matches and will never stop:) Agadmators channel initially fueled my passion Big Time. Much respect and love to Aga and all the "excellent subscribers".
What a game ! You do an excellent job displaying all of these games ! Amazing,, TY So much ! I loved this game since the age of 7 when my dad taught me, that was 50 yrs ago ! Lol,, I am retired now and enjoying the time I have playing and learning,, Thanks to you and others, there is so much to learn ! Its just great !!! 😁✌🕇❤
Loving the Fischer series. Great stuff!
Thank you agadmator for another excellent video, really enjoying the Fischer series & catching up on older videos... I’ve only seen a review of one 960 game, any plans to review some in the future? Or are they just difficult/not fun to review? Thank you & keep up the stellar work!
thanks for the great content Agad! my favourite youtuber :)
After noticing someone with a Chess Academy T shirt, I started a 10 minute conversation about this game. That conversation got my attention again for Chess after about 30 years of not playing. All I knew was how to move the pieces. So after a little research, I am very grateful to have found this channel. Although I am not very good at this game, I have come to love it even more. I very much appreciate the history. I have learned a few new things about this game I had no idea about before. Thank you agadmator!!
Agad: “this was spassky’s best move”
Also Agad: “But fischer had an answer to this” 🤣
Thank you again for another informative and well done video.
I never tire of seeing these games analyzed and their commentary! Thank you for a great series! You are the best!
It's amazing how Fisher took on the entire Soviet system with the juggernaugt team around Spasky.
Sent him crazy in the process though
Shows starting position
Asks in Slavic accent, "So, what's the idea here?"
Gets 200k followers, profits.
Thumbs up agadmator love your channel, your commentary, and your sense of humor. :D
I remember I was impressed with how well Fischer played in the series, but I didn't understand how well Spassky played in these games. Truly the match of the century.
World class play by both. Terrific analysis as well. Chess brought to life!
5:37 Spassky has 3 bishops!!🐪🐪🐪
Im not even on notification squad Im just addicted
Nice work agad i'm really loving this series
Great analysis for a great game! When someone says that draws are always boring, show them this game. This game is excellent. Just 2 great players playing great moves back and forth. I feel like Spassky is often forgot about when we talk about great players because he lost to Fischer but he really was an excellent player, but Bobby Fischer from 1970-1972 was one of, if not the strongest chess player in history and he was nearly unstoppable.

Never been more interested in chess games before, great series agadmator
you are narrating the whole sequence like a lively drama. love it!! especially, when the camera to record the board and when to record the players? :)
Chess is so infinitely complicated. The rook interaction between d8 h8 is insanity.
Awesome video as always!
I click like on every video so I know which ones I've watched, and because I like them. It's always good when a move has more than one purpose.
Great video series! Thanks
These videos are my favorite part of the day.
I woke up, and there is already a new video from Agadmator :D
3rd time watching through this series, always a treat to get to watch the World Championship at the end of the saga.
16:04 Stops checkmate with queen trade using a pin - what a move to see in advance !!
Man that Qc3 move to force a queen trade is just nasty, I don’t blame Spassky for missing that move so far ahead in the variation. You can’t give Fischer an inch it seems.
Your level of analysis of chess games is Too Goood! Loved it!
This is just getting better and better
Hi Antonio. Important note for Game 6: Spassky's Immortal Gesture
I would very much like that, during the coverage of the game 6 Spassky x Fischer, you mention the fact when Spassky stood up and aplauded Fischer's briliancy in the game known as "The Synfony of Placid Beauty".
In my opinion this was the greatest moment in chess history. It shows how much Spassky is a real sportsmen and, above all, a great human being.
It has to be remenbered that it was the times of the Cold War and as is well know the atmosphere wasnt all calm for a soviet world champion to confront an American genius.
Nevertheless, Spassky succed in demonstrate what was really important among all external tensions: The Art of playing chess. Definietly, a gesture to be properly remembered for the benefit of the new generations.
Thanks.
P.S. #suggestion "The Uruguayan Immortal". (Uruguayan Championship, 1943 B. Molinari x Luis Roux Cabral)
Hello Alan: I agree that Spassky behaved like a real gentleman, a fine human being, and was very brave.
That very human and admirable gesture was the beginning of a lifelong friendship between Spassky and Fischer, and also Fischer's love of Iceland, as the only place he had experienced such a spontaneous and unexpected outburst of acceptance and appreciation.
p.s. Bobby was still a total nutcase.
I enjoy this series very much! Much Longer videos but will increase my vast knowledge greatly.
I love your commentary, keep up !
excellent video as always!!!!
Bobby Fischer best of all 😍😍
Carlsen is the best.
@@mhoadievdelapaz3703 Some will suggest Kasparov was the best.
You are right, Spassky is quite the gentleman. Dealing with all of Fischer's antics, and and playing Fischer's favorite openings, seems like really wanted to know who was the better chess player. Like you said, he could have already been named the winner by default.
Most eagerly waited series from agadmator.. Enjoying it.
Bro I’m loving this Fischer Spassky series!
Quick question: you going for Mcgregor or Khabib?
Agadmator:
"It will put both players in a better mood for the match!"
What is Lothar Schmid's quote referring to?
Thank you for your videos they are very educational, informative and entertaining.
I was hoping to see this game today . I watched game three yesterday . Love your vids . Nice haircut ! In Soviet Russia king captures queen . Lol
I've been waiting all morning xD
Love the videos. Thank you
Love this series!! ❤❤❤
merci pour cette publication...TERRIFIC!!!
Well done my friend im always fan of people who improve they possition.Long time i following you and the best leason i learn from you is : if you want to be someone better stronger epic even legendary you have to lose a lot no winner understand the importance of losing possitions no winner have the experince to go foward and be someone
Thanks for the video!
Spassky - "Hey Bobby, Geller said this not good opening.."
Fischer - "ahh F'em!"
Nice work keep it going. Btw what's the ranking of your own agad?
Wow. That was an impressive game. Both players.
Very good and entertaining videos, thanks
16:40 “but it’s not all that black and white” LOL actually, it kinda is 🤣
Thanks I was waiting
18:29 I couldn't have found that move in a lifetime, let alone in such a tense moment and limited time..
By watching and studying these and all your videos i have become an chess player with some new vast knowledge. ...your the best
This channel is doing gods work
Great show agadmator :) what about if you show us the points of the players during the tournament?
Thanks for the vid
Btw how are you Antonio
The sultan from Dracula is showing us chess moves. Great video.
After the Fischer series, your next should be the 1991 Linares Tournament. I know you already have a few games covered from it but the field was so deep for the tournament there had to be a ton of amazing games! Plus I love peak Ivanchuk. #suggestion
And this is why you're the best chess commentator
I watched all the Reykjavik games in '72. It was my good fortune.
Just finished Game 3 and here is Game 4 already 😍😍
Match of century would be agadmator vs suren
Yess😂😂
I try to comment on agadmator’s videos to support the channel. He deserves it.
Could you mentioned the time they each had for every move they both made on this game, because like you mentioned - Time was a big factor for Spassky in figuring out the good and bad for attacking with the rook on the h-square. Question for you, if time wasn't a factor who is the better chess player of the two: Spassky or Fisher?
Hard question because chess is chess because of time. If you have more time than your enemy you can calculate more deeply . So it's weird chess without time (this means one can think for a move for days? Lol). I know that fischer hated rapid chess saying: rapid chess kills your ideas. Probably spassky was out of theory and that's why he started to thinking and calculating and maybe fischer had a natural talent for calculation
Man Fischer is love doesn't matter if he wins or not I want more of him
I am really enjoying this series. Of course I know about Fischer, but I am eager to learn about Spassky. This game shows he was a really strong player. I am sure Fischer had a lot of respect for him. He doesn't try to go for anything more than a draw with the white pieces, that speaks volumes.
Thanks again!
