  • Featured is a Round 8 game from the Leipzig Olympiad of 1960. It was played between Chilean chess champion Rene Letelier Martner and Bobby Fischer on October 24th. International Master Letelier won the Chilean Chess Championship 5 times (1957, 1959, 1960, 1964 & 1972). With 4...0-0, rather than the most popular d6, Fischer invited Letelier's e-pawn into his house. That invitation was accepted and soon Fischer would be confronted with an optically menacing white pawn center of 4. How one ought to handle such a central structure is especially valuable for chess minds who look to improve. Fischer demonstrates how to dismantle white's center, and adds double exclamation marks with his flashy final move.

    I had the honor of speaking personally with René Letelier, and he was a true gentleman. The great thing about him is that he became an International Master without even being a professional chess player. He worked in a bank, and in his free time or vacations he played tournaments. Regarding this game, he mentioned that he just enjoyed every move that Fischer made on the board (Letelier played 3 times against Fischer, being defeated 2 times, and beating Bobby 1 time).

    Jerry, your videos are some of the most instructive on the internet. My top 3 favorite UA-camrs are you, Gotham and Daniel Naroditsky. Gotham teaches you how to understand broad, overarching concepts like a master. Daniel teaches you how to understand the fine details like a master. And you teach us how to realize what master-level thinking even looks like. Seriously. I studied tactics and positional chess for years and couldn't advance past 1200. But your Beginner to GM series totally revolutionized the way I looked at the board. I gained more in the 2 years since I watched those videos than I did in my previous 5+ years of serious chess study.

    I was very pleased with how you could analyze the game without really distracting from the game itself. That is a gift that many You Tube Chess analysts do NOT have. For some reason, you were able to get me to see the brilliance of each Fischer move without getting me "lost."
    Before your video, I watched an interview with a grey-bearded Bobby Fischer from sometime in the 1980s or early 90s. In the interview he professed to HATE what the game of chess had become. He said that the study of Openings variations had turned the game into a contest of memorization and it had eliminated most of the creativity from the game.
    In this game you analyzed, you demonstrate what made Fischer great. He reveled in diverging from a standard opening line and exploiting the confusion of his opponent who continued in the standard line, believing it had been proven the best way to proceed. Here Fischer showed the superiority of the creative mind over a standard opening book.
    In current times, computers can sometimes reveal new lines of analysis that humans may have abandoned. But many computer programs adhere to Opening Books just like humans.

I was under his coaching for a while, but he - and me- expended most of the time with little and funny histories of his life and chess player. I will never forget a sight of him analyzing a game with a bottle at his side....

    Thank you very much, this is a great video. Your analysis is very helpful for improving one's understanding of strategic and positional concepts. In this case, it was a study of how to deal with an immediate mass advance of center pawns in the very beginning of the game, using a Fischer game for illustration. Using classical games like this as a way to illustrate important strategic concepts is a very good idea. I will start following your videos.

      No, and they all do this. They are not analyzing the moves of these worlds best chess players, or they would just stick to their moves, trying to explain why they moved there, and not interject what else could have been done. Not one game have I seen anybody describe as a Bobby Fisher game, tries to explain what Fischer was thinking only, (and his opponent). They always have to add their own options, that the best in the world rejected. Not one of these guys will beat my computer game on line either, (grand master chess 3). Come on, "show me what you would do", even at the easy adult level, with your own game. These guys are as worthless as a philosophy class.

      "feel"? What does that mean? Is that some psychic power that makes better decisions than thinking/knowing?
      Do you use a braille chess board? Still need to think. Don't replace thinking with feeling, (as we are actually taught to do today), and get used to feeling good when you figure out winning. I think the best feelings comes from the brains achievement, (your achievement from thinking)---and it makes us human. In fact, it makes it worth being human. :) My opinion,---after a lot of thinking about it. :)
