    Robert James Fischer vs Bent Larsen

    Two weeks after Fischer's sensational 6-0 shutout streak in the Fischer - Taimanov Candidates Quarterfinal (1971), at Vancouver, he met at Temple Buell College, Denver, Colorado USA to play a 10-game candidates match against Bent Larsen starting on July 6, 1971. Larsen had qualified from the Larsen - Uhlmann Candidates Quarterfinal (1971). Fischer said to a reporter before the match: "Been traveling for a year, match to match. I need a personal life. I'm not as narrow as some people think, you know. But right now all I think of is the world championship. Chess is my whole life" ... "(Larsen)'s good. But I think I'm the best around. I don't say that to brag. I think it's true. I love the game - and I hate the Russians because they've almost ruined it. They only risk the title when they have to, every three years. They play for draws with each other but play to win against the Western masters. Draws make for dull chess, wins make for fighting chess." (1)
    And fighting chess is what Fischer delivered. After six consecutive wins he dispensed with Denmark's best, repeating another amazing 6-0 performance. Preparing to face Boris Spassky in a World Championship match, he would first meet the winner of the Petrosian - Korchnoi Candidates Semifinal (1971). This turned out to be Petrosian, hence the Fischer - Petrosian Candidates Final (1971).

    In 1971, I interviewed him in New York just after he had returned from winning a chess tournament in Buenos Aires, becoming the challenger for Boris Spassky's title. In his previous candidates' matches, he had beaten the Soviet Union's Mark Taimanov by a score of 6-0, and had followed that by absolutely pulverizing Bent Larsen, the Great Dane, by another 6-0 whitewash. Taimanov I could understand. He was not in Fischer's league. But Larsen! That Danish player was the strongest in the West, aside from Fischer himself. Nobody can take Larsen by a 6-0 score. I asked him how he did it.
    ''Well,'' Fischer said, ''you have to know that Larsen is a romantic. He likes wild positions. He likes to throw you off with crazy moves. Another thing about Larsen. If he wins the first few games, he is unbeatable. He gets this confidence, you know, and you can't beat him. But if he loses the first few games, he loses confidence and sort of folds up.
    ''Anyway,'' said Fischer, ''we started our first game and around the 10th move he threw something at me. He figured to catch me by surprise. But when I looked at the position, I remembered it was something that Steinitz had tried against Lasker in the 1894 championship match. If I hadn't known that position, I might have spent a lot of time figuring it out and maybe I couldn't even have done it on my clock. But once I saw the position, I remembered that I had once analyzed it, and I knew Larsen was dead. When I played the right move, Larsen knew that I knew, and he lost the game and also the next five.'' >

It's like watching Capablanca for his endgame or Petrosion for his defence.

    • @NationalSportsEntertainmentNSE
      @NationalSportsEntertainmentNSE Рік тому

      Yeah I love knights but a pair of bishops should count as around 10. Knights are not rateable as of all of the pieces their value completely changes with positioning
      But yeah Bobby understood 2 bishops beat a bishop and rook in an endgame. The rook is incredibly valuable but he is 50% defense.
      So I’m considering an endgame where you don’t have time to move a piece with tempo it’s brilliant to set yourself up with the bishop pair

He was kind enough to speak to me even though I was just a high school student at the time. Regarding your comment on Fischer studying Russian, I also studied it in high school so I could subscribe and read the Russian newsletter "64."

    Bobby Fischer was a great combination of amazingly high IQ and an Excellent almost photographic memory. That is what I think created the genius who dominated his opponents to such a stunning degree. Rest in peace Robert J. Fischer.

      Speaking of which, Tesla would of been a great chess player. They say he could read any book no matter how big an complicated, an receit the book word for word, every page all the way till the end. Now that's photographic memory. Could you imagine having that superpower an understanding chess. Tesla would of set lightning to the boards had he taken up chess.

      I didn't know (haven't yet read) about Tesla's interest in chess. I read a brief biography of his early life and especially his struggles for realizing his new inventions, almost every single of which are a revolution on their own.
      Tesla was one of the great geniuses who has ever walked this planet. Sadly he died alone and rather poor in a hotel room in New York, despite the potential earnings he could have had through his royalties and shares that he gave up.

      @@quantummath Yes he was. Sorry, I should of written that better. I was just giving a hypothetical situation. Meaning if Tesla was into chess (which I don't know If he was either) but if he played tournaments, I don't think anyone from any age period could of beaten him because his mind was true engine like. And he knew so many languages like Ficher did and if he studied all chess magazines on opening theory an endgames an what not with his true photographic memory, no one could beat him. His mind was the great chess game of all, as he only made the right moves.

      I believe he would have been an exceptionally competent chess player as well.
      I know people who are on the genius level when it comes to aspects of mathematics or other intellectually demanding fields of study. Some of them have a strong affinity with chess; others are at best average players.
      I am not sure, but I firmly believe competence in chess strongly correlates with strengths in 1. visual memory, 2. pattern detection/recognition, 3. fluid IQ, and 4. the ability to focus intensely and patiently for a relatively long time. If one element is missing, I think one might manage to be a great player but nowhere near world-class level.
      Legends like Gary Kasparov and Bobby Fischer are certainly "all of the above."
