Great break down of the match. The only thing I don't like is how he keeps suggesting Fischer just didn't play chess for 20 years when he more than likely spent that time deeply studying the game.
Cole Mayer Fischer stopped studying chess because he concluded "classical chess" was all played out, and instead turned his attention to his "Fischer Random" variation (chess 960). He only agreed to the "classical chess" match with Spassky because he needed the money.
Great lecture, thank you. I don't suppose GM Seirawan could be persuaded to do all of his gesturing with his mouse so as to keep all of us in the loop?
That's one thing Finegold does... uses the red and green pointers... enabling later viewers to follow along easily. Or... someone could go back through and edit these wonderful lectures, adding the missed input.
Regarding that the former world champion Anand has lost many endgames that even cost him the WCC title recently against Carlsen, I think that Bobby even after his retirement since 20 years was still as good as many strong players at that time (90s) and could have won some tournaments. I dont know why he disapeared again after his rematch in 1992.
+Earl7J7Oshman You must be specific. You cannot just say the engine says the line is winning. Why? because some people see the engine say white has advantage of x so the person thinks ok that is winning. You must be very careful with engine evaluations and spend some time trying different lines and be certain that it is winning. 22.Ng3 Rd1+ 23.Kd1 h5 24.Bg5 Kf7 Black is fine
How did he do it...did he really knew everything there was to know at that time? Cause he was a chess knowledge horder. Or did he figure something out..A new genius idear we havent figured out till this day...Hmm.
+PieterDave He knew more than everybody it seems - with no human help or computer help. He studied alone from ages 4 until 29 when he quit. It is said he had an IQ of 180, he clearly had great creative, attacking ability, will power, natural talent and a very very strong memory; a memory, talent and will power to sit at the board all day every day like none other. He is the greatest 14 year old in chess history, he was the youngest grandmaster at the time (age 15), with a higher rating at age 15, and he is ranked 3-9 or so, for almost every age, I mean, No.1 age 14, No.9 age 15, No.3 age 13, this kind of thing, he was way ahead of Carlsen when Carlsen was 16 etc and the others, and he didn't have computer like they do, and Carlsen was trained by Garry too. I mean, Bobby's rating is just so much better than everybody else's if you match it up, the only kids doing better it seems are Sam and Wei, and this is 2015, he was 15 in 1958... He simply had more talent and stored knowledge than anybody else, he played more than anybody else, every single day of his chess life. I like to state: Bobby Fischer was chess itself - the true pride and sorrow of chess. Both, to answer your question, he was a genius, one of the greatest chess genius of all time and he had more knowledge than anybody else.
+The Anti-Theist That sounds really impressive, and gives a better perspective on his chess game. I remember when a interview when he was asked if he was better then paul Morphy. He said 'of course, i have know more theory then him' Something in that direction.
At 33:49, Kg6+, why doesn't black just play Kg2 instead of Ke4. After ... Kg2, Kxh7, Bxc7, h1=Q, Kxh1, Rf1+, Kg2, Ra1... I mean I guess black is winning but materially white seemed okay when they capture the knight on c7. I'm disappointed they didn't even discuss this line in the lecture; pretty sure most of the audience didn't consider the fact that white can actually capture the knight with that line.
Have you considered Rg8 after White takes on c7? Now the Bishop on g4 is hanging. White can only protect this Bishop with his King but then the black pawn promotes. The strength of White's position is in his two Bishops. If either of them comes off the board, the remaining Bishop will have a hard time against the Rook.

Love this video!! watch it every year or so.
We're on Easy Street. And it feels so sweet. Cause the world is but a treat when you're on Easy Street.
27:46 wouldn't Fisscher be like ''Allright, let's try bishop takes h2 one more time''
i fell down laughing - wish i could like this comment 10 times.
Very instructive lecture!
Amazing. A performance like this shows that Fischer is definitely one of the greatest players ever.
Bobby himself was the first engine.

Neueregel If so then he is not the only one who hates Jews, it's a common feeling that millions around the world got :)

[34:00] Why didn't Boris Spasky take the knight instead of the pawn?
pion is queening

when explaining moves wish he would use the computer cant see what hes doing put annoying
If you see a good move (I.E. winning move) play it. No need to look for a better move and waste brain energy.
the music in the beginning is very annoying.
bit annoying
What's this guy problem? Can't he talk like a normal person?
?
He does talk like a normal person ur the one who is probably wired
