Bobby Fischer STINGS Lombardy
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 гру 2023
- Featured is the chess game between William Lombardy and Bobby Fischer from the 1960/61 United States Chess Championship. This is the 25th game in Fischer’s famous book, “My 60 Memorable Games”. In the middlegame, Fischer executes an excellent combination, with the standout move described as "The scorpion's sting at the tail-end of the combination." The game proceeds to an instructive endgame, ultimately simplifying into a winning king and pawn endgame.
I'm a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.

crazy to see the chart, 98% accuracy for a game played in the 60s, even his opponent, 93% accuracy is awesome! these numbers are amazing today even.
Even the one inaccuracy ends up creating an advantage.
Awesome moves, except perhaps for Re1 allowing Rxc3 which is easy win for player of Fisher’s calliber
What does the accuracy percentage mean in chess?
@@markiyanhapyak349 they analyze the game using modern chess computers (called engines). The higher the score the more the computer thinks you made a good move and vise versa. Computers are much stronger than humans.
The high score means that those players were playing pretty much like a computer.
Mh; nice. And what would be the differenze between 98 and 99 %? 😇 …could It be notised?
Bobby Fischer was on another level. Love his games the most.
- Study the Prince Variation to control key squares (start: 0:48).
- Consider gambits for development and psychological advantage (start: 2:30).
- Evaluate the middle game for combination opportunities (start: 4:16).
- Use tactical moves like B4 to challenge your opponent's strategy (start: 4:20).
- Recognize the 'scorpion's sting' in a combination for a winning edge (start: 5:58).
- In endgames, aim for active rooks and king centralization (start: 7:10).
- Leverage material advantage to transition into a winning endgame (start: 9:32).
- Recognize the power of an outside passed rook pawn in king and pawn endings (start: 10:13).
- Be precise in pawn structure manipulation even with a winning advantage (start: 10:47).
It's Prins variation
I liked how you could somewhat see Fishers personality in his chess play. Very interesting video.
I am always mesmerized by how simple and strong Fischer’s play is
Thank you Jerry!
98% acuracy. No engines. Nufsaid. GOAT. TY GM 👍
If Fischer were born in 1990 he'd have crushed Magnus.
When I read Bobby Fisher's books, I gained a lot of new knowledge from what he wrote. He was a very talented chess player.
"B4 you can play knight B4" really scrambled my brain
I feel bad not meeting Bobby in my life time.
Jerry, I’m from Brazil! My favorite chess channel is yours here! I like the way you analyze all the games. Keep up the good work, bro! Cheers from Brazil!
👍😎
nice work as usual
Thanks for another review, followed your channel since 2012
👍
Have the book and love it, this is a great game. Your analysis brings something fresh to it. Thanks Jerry.
Awesome, thanks Jerry!
Thanks Jerry, Cool Analysis as Usual. !!!!!!!!!!!!
Incredible video, thank you Gary ❤
LOL 🤣
What's up Jerry! Just got back into chess and you've always been my favorite / go-to chess channel throughout all the years. Hope you're doing well broski!
good analysis as always
Please cover more of Fischer games , they r fire 🔥and ur analysis too🔥
Every 60 games from book please.
wonderful one
I thought Lombardy had A LOT to play FOR with the pawns in the last stage. Black pawn from G7 to G5 should have been taken en passant White H5). But his mistake was also to chase his white pawns in C3 and D4. That was a huge miscalculation. It might have ended up in a draw. But still Fischer lucidity in the mid-game truly sensational. NO RESPITE to the opponent. Thank you Jerry
Against a player like fischer, not really. hxg6 can be met with hxg6 and nothing changes. if white abandons defense of c3 to rush the kingside, it would be much too slow to match the a pawn. a chess player of fischers caliber (or even just a chess player with solid endgame fundamentals) should pretty much never not win a position like that
Further to the discussion of 37… f4: Fischer was also a complete sadist on the board! This is complete speculation, but I think he derived a bit of pleasure from his opponent’s helplessness, and had no problem taking his time and making his opponent watch as he closes in for the kill.
Eventually, CAN YOU (please) display the chart in full-size, one screen. As I watch most of your videos on my cell phone!
The scorpion's tail is a combination I've just learned from this video. I even considered giving that check, but dismissed it because White can block it with a counterattack, still leaving Black with 2 hanging bishops. Hanging a piece is different from hanging it in a checking square, though. The latter is a full free piece (if there is no counterattacking response to the check) while the former is just half a free piece (because the opponent actually has to spend a move to get it). Half pieces can be counted as belonging to the player to move next, and since the original situation was a full free piece (bishop on E7) plus a half one (bishop on B5) - 1.5 free pieces with black to move are 2 free pieces, and white can only offset it by 1 by taking a bishop. But inserting the scorpion's tail the situation is converted into 2 half free pieces, which equals 1, and that is perfectly offset by capturing one.
This, by the way, only works with an even number of hanging pieces. If a single piece is hanging, and it's on a checking square, it costs a move to save it, just as it costs a move to save it even if it's not on a checking square. 1 and 0.5 both round up to 1. But 0.5 + 0.5 round up to 1, while 1 + 0.5 round up to 2. Let's say though that we have 3 hanging pieces - one of them on a checking square. Then we will lose 1 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 2 pieces, and even if we use a scorpion's tail to convert 1 to 0.5, 3 times 0.5 still rounds up to 2. This corresponds to the fact that the moves will be (take 1 +), (escape check); (take 1), (save 1); in the original case, and (take 1), (save 1); (take 1) in the other.
This was a great game. Both players were attacking with traps and counters
Great as always Jerry! This might be the first time I've gotten every "pause the video". Nice tactics to find!
brilliant bishop h4 check, thank you for the video. I always have read that fischer books weren't written by him. Do you recommend his books? Are truly his? Thank you
Extra pawn moves available with Fischer made him winner in my opinion.Thanks.
🔥
Jerry, should the upcoming 2024 WFRCC be classical?
Jerry!
Can you show a game where the tarasch defense is used
I got the final combo with …RxBch, and - for once - all the followup.
I think I’d have to go through the middle game again with its 2 minors for 1 Rook exchange to really appreciate this one tho. Because otherwise, even “getting” the final combination, it struck me as kind of ugly.
Thanks Jerry.
You're right, Nf4 is better. Black's response is ...g4 though.
🎉
Hi Jerry.
Could White have played any moves instead of (29)Rg1 - (30)Re1 that would have averted this winning Black combi? Which?
outflanked
There is much beauty in Fischer's play but the main thing I take from his games is... despite being titled, most of his opponents were severely lacking in fundamentals.
Agreed. This plays out like a blitz game. Bobby was the greatest of his era and did it without computers
White didn't castle all game
stockfischer
He made beating GMs look simple.
True, but these days these people would not be GMs. They were lacking fundamentals these days even 1800s would posses.
1st ❤
Bobby Fischer, more like Bob-bee Fischer. Hahaha given the title 🤣🐝
EDIT: Oh it's a scorpion not a bee lmao
white wasted too many moves with the same peace, in the opening stage, instead of castling...
2nd almost first lol
Everyone, , cheat cheat cheat 💻📳
Bro you got the best chess recaps but instead you choose to cover spme 30 year old stuff thats already covered by dozens of chess chanels like common cover some of the recent events in the chess world
Jerry provides true content. Everyone else just immediately blitz out a video 5 seconds after a game is over, so they can be the first on youtube and gain the most views. For others, it's a business. For Jerry, it's a hobby. Big difference in content quality.

cry cry cry wah wah wah
This is why I like him, the OG of YT chess scene. No BS, minimal "clickbait" (titles made interesting enough to attract viewers, without overusing hyperboles), no controversies. Jerry deserves the "Internet chess teacher" much more than Levy.
