This game was played in 1970, modern computers weren't even invented yet, this wasn't played online but in person. He didn't mouse-slip, but just miscalculated
Yes, that garbage article is on every news portal in Croatia, and I've seen some in Bosnia and Serbia as well :) There is a decent one on krizevci.info, although, also in Croatian. But Google translate should do the job :D
I'm not only watching this videos to watch the match, but also for the fantastic commentary and the learning part. I'm not a very good player, but I'm sure this is pushing me in the right direction. Love from Denmark❤
Meanwhile the "world" team had Portisch on board 3. Portisch had never won a candidates match at that time. He got demolished by Tal in 1965. Tal was board 9 for the soviets by comparison
Hey I love your videos man. I’m a rare commenter but I watch you all the time and appreciate all the content you provide... I only comment now because your explanation of Fishers Queen dance to put his opponents bishop and knight on weaker squares kind of opened a door to my chess game. I’m a complete novice player and my knowledge of the history is not all that deep. I as an American can name more than 1 GM/Champion level chess player and I won’t brag more than that. Thanks for all the good time and work that you put into your channel.
1970-72 was Fischer at the absolute height of his powers....perhaps the greatest period of any chess player ever....and somehow he winds up on board #2 behind Bent Larson.
Raghuveer Dubagunta He's an idiot. After he got destroyed 6-0 by Bobby, he later in an interview said that the weather was hot and that was his excuse for that annihilation 🤣
Larsen was having an outstanding run. If you look at his 1969 and 1970 tournament results he was never stronger. Obviously Fischer was the stronger player but that wasn’t Larsen’s argument. His argument was that Fischer might be the stronger player overall but he, Larsen had proven to be the best non Soviet player in terms of results that year. Which it’s hard to argue with.
@@dylan8670 so his argument is that hes not stronger than Bobby, but hes the best non Soviet player, Bobby being an American meaning he thinks hes stronger than bovb
You have a great chess channel, Agad ... and great commentary, examples along the way ... very much appreciated ... I tend to watch your chess videos more than other channels ... so something you are doing right draws me back!
Bobby Fischer was in BEAST mode in the 1970 candidates games. Or should I call it God mode ?🤔 NO one was able to Stop him on his way to challenging the world championship against Boris Spassky including Bent Larsen, Tigran Petrosian & Mikhail Tal himself 👍🏻😎. Literally Fischer against the world !
To be fair, Tal was very sick during this time due largely to his periodic destruction of his kidneys because of his alcoholism. Tal and Fischer held a deep lifelong respect for each other. I mean, can you imagine any other Soviet player at that time openly and flatly stating, "Fischer is the greatest genius ever to descend from the chess heavens"? Had Tal not been sick at this time, the world would've witnessed perhaps the greatest match of the 20th century. The championship would've been an asterisk.
Larsen played his beloved Sicilian Dragon when Fischer defeated him in the Interzonal in Portoroz (1958). Fischer was only 15 years old by then and was awarded the title of GM as a consequence of that tournament. One year later, the 24-year old Larsen did nothing to support Bobby as his second in the candidates. What a petty-minded guy ...
Hey agadmator thanks foe all the Caro-Kann games recently, I'm a Caro player and it feels great to get some regocnition and maybe learn something in the process
Forgive the naivety of this question: is Bobby Fischer renowned more for his positional mastery a la Petrosian, Karpov, etc or was Fischer regarded as a supreme tactician/attacker a la Tal? I can’t seem to pin down Bobby’s style - or is it that he was an “all-rounder”?
Surely there's reason to see him as an all rounder, but in my opinion he was more inclined to attacking chess than positional chess. For example, he disliked people who played the mostly positional Caro-Kann as black. He also always played e4, whereas d4 would be a positional approach. You'd expect that an all rounder would mix in some positional openings from time to time, and he never played d4. But his attacking style is different than Tal's - it's more reserved and correct. Obviously it's safe to say that Fischer also knew his two cents about positional chess, but I say his personal taste led him to more active chess.
Fischer was 1970's Stockfish. Extremely accurate with positional ideas purely based on logic and clarity. He would detect slight inaccuracy and exploit it with all the force in the world and never let go. He could be a tactician depending on the position, but as others have pointed out he was an "All rounder".
Go see Byrne vs Fischer 1963 to get an answer. He demolishes black in 21 moves. But in all seriousness he was good at everything. Probably was a mixture of Kasparov/Karpov.
That 11.a4 move maybe should be given much emphasis on this analysis coz that changes the game as in maroczy vs capablanca. Blacks light bishop was less active compared to white. Thus made capa to exchange it..bit fischer really prepared this and he pushed 11.a4
At 9:58 after ... Ke6, W can play Qf5+ (instead of QxPg7) winning the N. Fischer's annotation of this game is in Chess Informant IV. At 4:13 he gives ...Kf8 a "?" and suggests ...O-O but with no analysis.
What if Petrosian had played Queen to E7 @6:40? Wouldn't that have halted Fisher's attack? What am I missing? (Oh...and @agadmator; thanks for getting me back into the game!)
This was a similar game with maroczy vs capablanca 1926 0-1..fischer analyzed that game and prepared the move 11.a4 to prohibit 11....Bb5 the exchange of light squared bishops by Black ..which capa did in his game and won the endgame very nice.
Hey, the audio is a bit ahead of the image, probably an error recording. video is still amazing, just to make sure you keep the quality as you have for a long time! cheers
Does anyone know who created the term “immortal game” and who called the immortal drawn game “the immortal drawn game”? I mean, who was the first chess player to called the immortal drawn game like that?
Adolf Anderson played a beautiful game in 19th century. That game was called Immortal game where he sacrificed a ton of material . Since then every fiery and amazing game with sacrifices was called immortal game of the player who won by sacrificing.
Yes M8 Yes I think we all can see that. What Antonio says is that the picture is from the match of four games. But he doesn't know if the picture is from the game he just showed us since Fischer had the white pieces in two out of the four games.
I've noticed that A2 Pawn could technically make its way to the G8 square. So that position has got to have been never achieved. Let alone Queen to H1, which is only sort of rare.
You whizzed over what could've been an early advantage for Fischer...@4:02...B/ N-f6. Why not: NxB(d7)?!! Fischer gets a point advantage, as well as tempi?!!
Because he wants to maintain the g and h lines for his rook, since he has a potentially good center with his bishops directly pointing to black kingside. Instead of moving the King to f8, it would be better for Petrosian if he played rook to f8 and only then, King to d8 trying to protect him at Queenside while also clearing up his f, g, h attack field.
This is the fantastic game that featured in the 'Pawn Sacrifice' film in the scene where the priest says Holy Shit and Fischer said "Hey, I didn't know a priest could use bad language. I like this guy."

4:10 i bet Petrosian wanted to castle but misclicked. Happens to me all the time
Ivan pruks ha ha
😂
HAHAHAHA can relate so much to this, poor petrosian
This game was played in 1970, modern computers weren't even invented yet, this wasn't played online but in person. He didn't mouse-slip, but just miscalculated
Micheal are you serious !
Congratulations on having the biggest UA-cam channel ever in the history of the world !!!! Well deserved in my opinion.
Akams Razor lol WTF?
Don't you know? This channel gets more views than any UA-cam channel in history. I read it in a Croatian newspaper.
There is an online article all about Antonio and his youtube channel on dnevnik. But its in Croatian :)
Yes, that garbage article is on every news portal in Croatia, and I've seen some in Bosnia and Serbia as well :) There is a decent one on krizevci.info, although, also in Croatian. But Google translate should do the job :D
Is it accurate Antonio? Jeli vridi.....
I'm not only watching this videos to watch the match, but also for the fantastic commentary and the learning part. I'm not a very good player, but I'm sure this is pushing me in the right direction. Love from Denmark❤
Imagine having a team so strong that Petrosian is on board 2
Imagine a Team where Bobby Fisher is on table 2
And then Bent was Bent over, despite being an amazing player.
Meanwhile the "world" team had Portisch on board 3. Portisch had never won a candidates match at that time. He got demolished by Tal in 1965. Tal was board 9 for the soviets by comparison
Stein and Bronstein only got to sit on the bench.
8:25 I really like the way Fischer almost resigned in a winning position like Tal ;)
lol
Keep working like that!!! U've made me come back to chess!
Thanks for the info about the match in description, stuff like that really makes vids over the top in terms of effort:)

Fischer opens with e4 and "IMMEDIATELY!".......it's all over. .............. #Gangsta
Agadmator legenda stvarno da si total amater i da nikad u zivotu nisi znao otvaranje nema sta ne zna genijalno
1970-72 was Fischer at the absolute height of his powers....perhaps the greatest period of any chess player ever....and somehow he winds up on board #2 behind Bent Larson.
Love it, more of Bobby!
Yes, please more Bobby! Seeing Petrosian picked apart like this is otherworldly.
"Bent Larsen thinks he is stronger than Fischer" 😂😂🤦🏻♂️
Raghuveer Dubagunta He's an idiot. After he got destroyed 6-0 by Bobby, he later in an interview said that the weather was hot and that was his excuse for that annihilation 🤣
RIP in piece to Bent

Straight larsen is weaker than fischer though..😁😁😁
You have a great chess channel, Agad ... and great commentary, examples along the way ... very much appreciated ... I tend to watch your chess videos more than other channels ... so something you are doing right draws me back!
Thank you! And thanks an actual picture from the tournament, a nice touch! :)

Dr. MG M and then Vladimir Kovačević jumps in and ends Bobby Fischers reign of terror. 90 something win streak
To be fair, Tal was very sick during this time due largely to his periodic destruction of his kidneys because of his alcoholism. Tal and Fischer held a deep lifelong respect for each other. I mean, can you imagine any other Soviet player at that time openly and flatly stating, "Fischer is the greatest genius ever to descend from the chess heavens"?

Love the Fischer videos, Antonio.
Keep it up!
Hey agadmator thanks foe all the Caro-Kann games recently, I'm a Caro player and it feels great to get some regocnition and maybe learn something in the process
ive seen almost every chess game on youtube an i would say Agadmator is the best analyst an commentator on chess imho. thanks
Looking at the line up for the russians in the description is no less terrifying, imagine the pressure
Great commentary and analyses. Thank you.
In the 1959 tournament wasn’t fisher only a teenager
Excellent work as always what is there more to say
I can't wait for you to cover Fischer Petrosian match!!!
kf8 was a mouse slip, he was trying to castle you know!
I love it every time i see this game and he says "Fischer kind of anhilated Larsen with a result of 6-0" 🤣
Unbelievable that man of this genious went silent for so long. Thats waste of decades of this talent.
Such a shame he didn't play on and face Karpov in 1975. Would have been one of the great matches in chess history!
Your Analysis is fantastic very interesting and intelligent. You show all the the possibilities and share your wisdom. It makes watching chess fun
at 9:48 more human is 1.Qf8+ Ke6 2. Qf5+ picking up the knight. or just trade down to a winning endgame: 2.Qf5+ Kd6 3.Rd1+ Kc7 4.Rxd7+ Qxd7 5. Qxe4

BMessemer All rounder

I think he played neither tactically nor positionally, but rather correctly :-)
Bobby is by far the greatest of all time!
Tal better not sacrifice that chocobo
And tal resigned the game
All fischers movea are with tempo.. still after him..nonody plays like him.. his games are like mozart symphonies
Leonid Stein's best games deserve to be in Agad's channel.
That 11.a4 move maybe should be given much emphasis on this analysis coz that changes the game as in maroczy vs capablanca. Blacks light bishop was less active compared to white. Thus made capa to exchange it..bit fischer really prepared this and he pushed 11.a4
Very kind of you to mention Paul Keres' result as well.
At 9:58 after ... Ke6, W can play Qf5+ (instead of QxPg7) winning the N. Fischer's annotation of this game is in Chess Informant IV. At 4:13 he gives ...Kf8 a "?" and suggests ...O-O but with no analysis.
Now instead of "And in this position, Mikhail Tal resigned." It's now "In this position, Bobby Fischer resigned."
fantastic videos as always
Is there any video of Fischer actually playing in the interzonals or final challenger match?
hey Antonio. a like before even watching. keep it up
But maybe he got tired while you watched this video, as he already had had the like. ;-----(
Bobby was unbeatable in 1970 he crushed them all plus blitz games were unbelievable.
always love your commentary ur the best
Thanks a lot dude!
9:53
If black plays rook D4 defending the knight, white queen E5 check.
Thanks for the review of Fischer's conquest.
5:01 Why not queen b6 with check, also attacking that nasty pawn? I really don ´t know, thanks for any replies.
After queen e6, Bishop f5 wins the rook
@@PikinesA7X Ah, thank You. Still, isn´t rook for pawn, bishop and persitent pawn structure on kings side sort of reasonable price?
What if Petrosian had played Queen to E7 @6:40? Wouldn't that have halted Fisher's attack? What am I missing?
(Oh...and @agadmator; thanks for getting me back into the game!)
2:54 that is just pure insane genius
This Kf8 literally lost him the game... just castle Petrosian CASTLE
Nice game
Thanks sir
This was a similar game with maroczy vs capablanca 1926 0-1..fischer analyzed that game and prepared the move 11.a4 to prohibit 11....Bb5 the exchange of light squared bishops by Black ..which capa did in his game and won the endgame very nice.
Agadmator what do you think about movie pawn sacrifice
At 4:09, why doesn't Petrosian play NxN or BxN?
...instead of Kf8.
Do you have any tips for young beginners?
Don't expect miracles
Can you make a video on Colorado gambit??? Advanced thanks with regards 😊😊😊
Fischer almost resigned his winning position too. Tal would be mad.
Hey, the audio is a bit ahead of the image, probably an error recording. video is still amazing, just to make sure you keep the quality as you have for a long time! cheers
I don't think so. I checked it before upload
agadmator's Chess Channel well, so it must have happened during the upload because something is definitely a bit off here
BTW what a fast response! Thanks for that
It is true, the audio is a bit ahead.
BObby in the 70ties was invincible-probably the best chess I ever saw. nobody could beat him.then and now imho
Yes
Does anyone know who created the term “immortal game” and who called the immortal drawn game “the immortal drawn game”?
I mean, who was the first chess player to called the immortal drawn game like that?
Me
Nice to meet you.
In case you wanted to achieve that, i can call you an "immortal drawn game" as well.
Adolf Anderson played a beautiful game in 19th century. That game was called Immortal game where he sacrificed a ton of material . Since then every fiery and amazing game with sacrifices was called immortal game of the player who won by sacrificing.
I wonder if Agadmator has any videos where Fischer loses, not counting games with Spassky
Might be wrong, yet my amateur intuition tells me Petrosian didn't handle f4-f5 properly, which gave Bobby the initiative to further develop
12:15 the position on the board is actually the starting position :P
Yes M8 Yes I think we all can see that. What Antonio says is that the picture is from the match of four games. But he doesn't know if the picture is from the game he just showed us since Fischer had the white pieces in two out of the four games.
it actually depends on the opening.
Nice work
8:17 why didn't petrosian capture with his knight that was no longer pinned?
check-mate on Rf8
8:54 why not scewer King and Queen?
Nxf8
Fischer is an artist
The match was played exactly 23 years before i was born
Best chess analysis
YAY! thanks aggy
2:35 I’m rusty on opening theory, but why would 1... b7 not work?
Because 2. a3 is coming.
(I'm joking, never mind me 😂).
#suggestion Can you show us a game between Boris Spassky and Mikhail Tal?
Great vod by the way ;)
at 8:10 why not Nd7?
Hi, I have exactly the same question , why not defend with Night first ? seems to me a more expected move.
I got it , if Rf8 check-mate
Soviets: we have an army
Rest of the world: we have a hulk
The Hand Slip Immortal
#suggestion maybe some more Spassky games, if there aren't any on your channel :) Pozdrav z zagorja !
How do you find all these games man?
Google
I've noticed that A2 Pawn could technically make its way to the G8 square. So that position has got to have been never achieved. Let alone Queen to H1, which is only sort of rare.
Who has won this tournament
- " There was no way out, NO WAY OUT !!! " (Petrosian)
You whizzed over what could've been an early advantage for Fischer...@4:02...B/ N-f6. Why not: NxB(d7)?!! Fischer gets a point advantage, as well as tempi?!!
only thing I don't like is Fischer losing ....and I enjoyed this ... really loved this treat
FYI, at this time Fischer agreed that Larsen represented them better and should be on board 1 as opposed to himself.
4:33 black could have exchange knights and be a pawn up.. why he didn't do it?
in this position Fischer resigned the game :)
Thanq Agad ~
Whats is the reason for petrosian not yo castle???
Because he wants to maintain the g and h lines for his rook, since he has a potentially good center with his bishops directly pointing to black kingside. Instead of moving the King to f8, it would be better for Petrosian if he played rook to f8 and only then, King to d8 trying to protect him at Queenside while also clearing up his f, g, h attack field.
Rafael Stroggilos damn, saying it like that makes lots of sense, thanks mate
He was trying to castle but his hand trembled (in fear of Fischer?) and dropped his king on the wrong square.
please make a video for the game magnus carlsen vs harestad 2003
That Kf8 move seemed very strange. I don't think there was anything wrong with casting
That wasn't a game, that was a slaughter
#suggestion Could you analyse Kasparov VS Pigusov on 1-1-1977?
You should make a video showing the chess game from the movie "Blade Runner", just for fun 😉
I have, actually :)
agadmator's Chess Channel Really? Cool!👍 I'll look for it better, I bet it's a nice video like always in your channel 😉
This is the fantastic game that featured in the 'Pawn Sacrifice' film in the scene where the priest says Holy Shit and Fischer said "Hey, I didn't know a priest could use bad language. I like this guy."
There is a better move @ 9:46 if Ke4 then Qe5 picks up the piece immediately
K means King, N is for knight
Can you make a vedio with anand and fisher
In keeping with the recent videos on Tal games, "In this position, Tal resigned the game."
Why didn't Petrosian castle?
Tigran was my chess teacher for some time
you re very lucky
I love Fischers moves
