A nice story behind this game: After eleven rounds, approx. halfway through the tournamemt, Fischer was ranked 2nd. Half a point behind Jefim Geller. Geller hasn't lost one game yet this tournament and even more important was that Geller won his last three games against Fischer. Geller has won more games against Bobby than any other player in the world. This was a true test for Bobby. After a few minutes - 7 moves had been played - Geller insulted Fischer by offering a draw. Fischer started laughing and Geller had to laugh aswell. After that Bobby said something and Geller became red. Fischer said that early draws are "prerogative" for the Soviet Union. (Implying the quick fixed draws between russians to collude against him). It is strange that he offered a draw because everbody knew that Fischers philosophy was " no draws before move 40 ".
Mc Mcx That is what originally was taught. However no-one could really confirm because he whispered it. But because he turned red most people speculated it was something about early draws between russians to collude against fischer - which has been done in 1962 -
I never took the time to consider how BRUTAL professional chess is. Even if you successfully reach a theoretically drawn endgame, as in this game, your opponent can take you through a trial of stamina by playing on for 7 HOURS in a position that, while drawn, takes precise play every.... single... move!!! I can only imagine the frustration that Geller must have felt when he made a mistake after an entire DAY of solid endgame play.
I can attest to that. I have been on both ends in 5 hour games. The truth is that performance eventually drops. I remember one game that I should have lost. My opponent had me beaten from the opening in a stranglehold. At one point all my king pawns were gone with his pieces swirling all around but I refused to give in and instead gave up the exchange. But then... he started getting tired and opted to simplify the game in what appeared to be a drawn game - even though I was down the exchange. Suddenly he unraveled and left himself open to a back rank mate with rook + bishop + 2 pawns that was unstoppable. All because he moved his rook from the back rank and he didn't bother to see how my rook would be supported. Chess is ruthless. Some people will purposely distract, intimidate, or refuse to resign in lost positions hoping that you will blunder.
Yea I'm typically the player to fall victim to that sort of exhaustion and attempt sacrifices to speed the game up (only to lose). However, I did have an experience in the Paul Morphy open tournament in Louisiana where my opponent, in a completely winning king and pawn endgame with two connected passed pawns, pushed the back pawn and lost the pair of runners and the game. I felt terrible for him... but you have to be as ruthless as chess and just take the win when you can get it. That game was only about 2 and a half hours long, seven hours must be devastating.
Great reads both. Thanks. Been away from chess for a long, long while. I played a lichess game the other day for the first time. Lasted less than 10 min. Heart was racing so fast I thought it was gonna explode. Got my ass kicked. Great to be back ♘
aubrey stewart My opnion is that the game is a draw in the first move, so isn't a evil thing to play a total draw position. Your opponent knows that is a draw, but he knows why and how he can really draw the game? If you have a Rook + Pawn + King against a Rook + King and your opponent don't knows that's a draw and don't play the right moves, losing the game, this is a blunder like to lose a piece or get checkmated in the middlegame, so win in the endgame just becouse your opponent blundered isn't bad, becouse you just win if your opponent makes a mistake.
Niranjan Rajesh Doubtful. Fischer’s highest rating was 2810. Carlson’s AVERAGE rating over the last 10 years is 2878. But even if Fischer’s rating was that high, how could he CRUSH a player with generally the same rating? You don’t realize how unrealistic that sounds? We all love Fischer, but you need to subtract the fanboy mentality from the equation and stick to reality.
Can I just say one thing? I actually found Kg4 and I have never been a strong endgame player. I'm honestly convinced that watching this channel has made me vastly stronger. My rating is up about 200-300 points and I'm winning more endgames in daily chess and OTB games as well. Just the pattern recognition from watching the best players in history do their thing is really super helpful. I've got a lot left to learn but this has just been great. Thanks man.
It does help a lot. However, improvement from let's say 1000-1200 is much easier than from 1800-2000. Once you get close to expert level you will need more than daily chess videos to improve. I'm rated above 1800 USCF and watch Agad's channel daily for entertainment. Anything that improves my game I consider a plus. Good luck in your games.
Thanks man, and totally agreed. My improvement has basically taken me from low-1600's to mid-1800's (and hopefully still climbing, but we'll see). I've always loved tactical puzzles, but I never had the patience for studying master games. This has made that so much easier for me. I feel like I have a decent foundation in all aspects of the game now, so improvements are going to be much more difficult from here, but it's been rewarding. And yeah, totally entertaining too.
It's also a matter of consistency. On the pro scene ivanchunk is probably the best example of this, He is probably the best player in perfect circumstances but in practice though incredibly strong he often bottoms out of strong tournaments. On a more personal note (humble brag incoming) I played an engine perfect game a few days ago (centipawn loss was still 15 but 0 inaccuracies blunders or mistakes) even though im only rated 1400, however I have analyzed over 300 of my own games and it is the only time that that has happened including later games I played. In all likelyhood mr nova who also replied has a lower net avg centipawn loss and mistake count which correlates with his higher rating :)
Fascinating. I came to the video 3 minutes after it was posted. 50 views. 14 minutes later, I refreshed the page. 873 views. Fascinating game, excellent presentation, and a good example of why you should play on in many a theoretically drawn end game played by two humans, not computers. So many factors. Fatigue, tunnel vision, and error all play a role.
It's not an example of why you should have played in, if fischer played in 2019 he would have offered a draw. In Fischer's day you didn't get paid unless you won hence it was worth playing on, now you get paid anyway and it's pointless
I have never been into chess my whole life sadly. But thanks to you, there's such an interest growing in me towards the game. Appreciate the content. Keep it up.

Easiest subs ever! Thank you for your excellent work, besides there’s something about your voice that makes it easy to follow! Great channel! Keep it up!
Love this RJF games ! Fischer had the extraordinary ability to find the strongest offensive play and strongest defensive play in one move. In this one , RJF simply wore super GM Geller out...what a beast !
Lil' Josh W. Inspired me to learn chess at an early age, then taught me through his book, Attacking Chess, and his annotated games on Chessmaster. I learned so much from him.
Very suspenseful game. Had me on the edge of my seat the whole time on who was going to blunder first. Fischer was known for his invincibility during this time, but Geller was always a difficult opponent for him; one of the very few to have a positive score against Fischer...
On the photo it's of course Joshua Waitzkin. This game was really amazing, how Bobby Fischer capitalizes again on the first mistake his opponent made, just awesome!

Fifty years later Fischer's mastery of the endgame is still almost unbelievable. Surely he had to blunder at least one game away in his prime with the pieces being even? If he did, I'd love to see it.
Yeah good example. No excuses but he was clearly rattled by the conditions of the match enough to forfeit game two. Pretty sure Spassky won only one more game after that and Fischer won like 7, mostly by playing aggressively and waiting for Boris to blunder. That seems to be a common theme among his opponents at the time, as it appears that he somehow brought out the worst chess in his rivals, if solely because he made far fewer mistakes in comparison to the other top players in the world. Must have pretty daunting to square off against Fischer in that era.
@@greggallucci607 I've said it before. Fischer took players out of the way they wanted to play. They were always (mostly) on their heels. The pressure got to them. Fischer never seemed to ever make a mistake. So if you waited him out you lost. If you pushed this seemed to be in Fischer's wheel house. He just beat you down until you made any tiny mistake. Then it was over. Chess is about mistakes. Fischer made very few.
Great endgame always enjoy a Fischer game what a legendary player a word I think describes his chess is Finesse he always has a finesse filled game having that extra something his opponents did not possess
At this point before the game, Geller was ahead by half a point in first place, Bobby was in second. During the game, Geller offered a draw and Bobby refused the draw even though the game was a dead draw. This was a battle for first place. Eventually Geller lost the game, Bobby took first place and went on a rampage by destroying the field and winning the Interzonal by 3.5 points. He won the last six games, and adding those games to the string of wins in the candidates, he won a record of 19 straight games. Great analysis.
in the end game Geller 'did not see all of this'. He got confused about the the position, thought Fischer's move was illegal. This is well documented, so it's weird you would say the exact opposite of what happened. Also, at 10:09 you say after Rg6 'you will not be able to push this anywhere with the black pieces'. What if black goes Kh3? Threatens Rf1 followed by g1=Q. Rh6 Kg3 followed by Kf3
When you said that kh3 was a tying move since the white pawn could simply push around 12:20, could the black rook have gone to f2 before the pawn was pushed in order to block the white rook from capturing the pawn and pawn protecting rook if rook captures making it a winning move?
@TranniesRBetter ThanRealWomen Some people say, "Fischer got lucky there in this game when X screwed up." Funny how like Fischer said they seemed to do it for 15 years. Must be nice to win 72% of your games on luck and a world title as well. I wish I was that lucky:)
6:27 -- Very hard (for Black) to push, unless White now plays Raa6 (which he did), and the engine perks up. After Rf4, Ra2, Fischer let an opportunity pass by when he did not then play g4 right then. But, by 8:28, when he finally did push a pawn, Geller should have been able to hold it, and lost only after further inaccuracies.
Starting position is also pretty much a draw. It's very good that Fisher, and now Carlsen, play those drawn endgames. If you expect your opponent to play perfectly, why even bother showing up to a game? At least try to win, if a position is a draw, make your opponent work for it!
Sir, In your comments at 10.15s I see there is an error. You say, after if Fisher plays g2, Gellar plays Rg6 and Fisher cannot make a queen. I see instead of Rg6, Gellar will play Rh6 mate!
Yeah, I'm purple with a couple of stripes. I went to NYC to train with Marcelo too, but the class I got into wasn't taught by him (still really super good jits though).
I'm not that good at chess so I wanted to ask: Why didn't Geller block the last check of Fischer with his own rook? - Offering an exchange that leads into a draw and/or protecting his own pawn to push it further? Because Fischer would have to move his rook or he would lose it and then Geller can simply move his own pawn while Fischer needs atleast 2 more moves to check Geller again so Geller can simply play around his own rook for a draw or get Fischer's rook if he blunders.
Geller had an overall plus score against four world champions: Mikhail Botvinnik +4−1=7, Vasily Smyslov +11−8=37, Tigran Petrosian +5−3=32, Bobby Fischer +5−3=2.[3] In total, Geller played ten and beat eight world chess champions, and his overall record in games in classical chess against world champions is positive: +39−36=131 (Max Euwe +1−1, Mikhail Botvinnik +4−1=7, Vassily Smyslov +11−8=37, Mikhail Tal +6−6=23, Tigran Petrosian +5−3=32, Boris Spassky +6−10=22, Bobby Fischer +5−3=2, Anatoly Karpov +1−2=5, Gary Kasparov +0−1=2, Viswanathan Anand +0−1=1). Geller did rather badly against Korchnoi (+6−11=16) and Polugaevsky (+4−11=21). So, he was very good player. Almost 20 years older than Fisher. And had better score vs Fisher.
Well, bare king mates are basics you should study. Rook or Queen are definitely able to deliver mate with help from your King. In the case of minor pieces you need at least 2. As someone said, UA-cam is crawling with such lessons. Cheers
Who's the guy on the top right on all of your videos? I am guessing he is your idol chess player , but who is he? Sorry , but I am completely new to the chess professional scene.

Where did you hear that story?
It's in the book - Profile of a Prodigy.
By the way what Fischer said was this: "Too Early" and that's why Geller turned red.

the immortal rook lift by eleven years old *Josh Waitzkin* . One of my favorite videos
Awesome!
Endgames, man. Endgames. One seemingly obvious move and you've just turned a draw into a loss, or a win into a draw.
Keep making videos like this!
in the end game Geller 'did not see all of this'. He got confused about the the position, thought Fischer's move was illegal. This is well documented, so it's weird you would say the exact opposite of what happened. Also, at 10:09 you say after Rg6 'you will not be able to push this anywhere with the black pieces'. What if black goes Kh3? Threatens Rf1 followed by g1=Q. Rh6 Kg3 followed by Kf3
The kid in the picture is Josh Waitzkin. I remembered that you can made a video with a game that he had played and from there I just searched.
When you said that kh3 was a tying move since the white pawn could simply push around 12:20, could the black rook have gone to f2 before the pawn was pushed in order to block the white rook from capturing the pawn and pawn protecting rook if rook captures making it a winning move?
"So Fischer just made a nice trip with his king" Hahahahaha
This is why I almost never resign or offer a draw. Even grandmasters make blunders!
9:18 That's not a drawn position. Once the black pawn moves, the white king has to move away from F3.
what was that strange noise at 14:21 ? I don't see the dog.
Feeding the UA-cam algorithm. Great game
Really hard to push for any advantage,.. bt! Fischer is relentless..😂😂 excellent commentary
What is the context of the Bobby Fischer quote? 😊
@TranniesRBetter ThanRealWomen Some people say, "Fischer got lucky there in this game when X screwed up." Funny how like Fischer said they seemed to do it for 15 years. Must be nice to win 72% of your games on luck and a world title as well. I wish I was that lucky:)
Back in those days there were adjournments, and I think this game was completed over a couple of days.
Hello everyone !! It sounds great
09:17 you push pawn to queen and win tho. Pawn, king and so on until you promote or did I mist something here?
Josh Waitzkin of course. I actually met someone who went to the same highschool as him.
I'm starting to feel spoiled with the Fischer/Biel simulcast. Me Likey ヅ
You likey tsu?
Me likey twice.
7:11 why after the rook to g1 white doesn't capture with the pawn?
The pawn on f2 can only capture to e3 or g3.
At 10:49, why wouldn't Geller just go RH7#? I swear that would be mate, right? Am I just going crazy??
Was there any match played between ALEKHINE AND CARLOS TORRE REPETTO..? IF found I suggest to have it here
That was a compelling match
6:27 -- Very hard (for Black) to push, unless White now plays Raa6 (which he did), and the engine perks up. After Rf4, Ra2, Fischer let an opportunity pass by when he did not then play g4 right then. But, by 8:28, when he finally did push a pawn, Geller should have been able to hold it, and lost only after further inaccuracies.
13:30 Why not rook d5 after rook a5 check ?? It blocks the check and saves the pawn too...
Aniket Dey Sarkar after Rxd5+ Kxd5 Kxf5 easy win for black
Guilherme Oliveira Pinheiro ---ohhh yes
So after Rook to a5 check, "F"..'ing Geller resigned the game. Love the way Agadmator pronounces Geller's first name...
Starting position is also pretty much a draw. It's very good that Fisher, and now Carlsen, play those drawn endgames. If you expect your opponent to play perfectly, why even bother showing up to a game? At least try to win, if a position is a draw, make your opponent work for it!
Sir, In your comments at 10.15s I see there is an error. You say, after if Fisher plays g2, Gellar plays Rg6 and Fisher cannot make a queen. I see instead of Rg6, Gellar will play Rh6 mate!
At 12:00, when you said "if you found Kh3..." I was wondering what I missed.
Was that Waitzkin? Fun fact: I train BJJ as well and he's a black belt under Marcelo Garcia.
plectrumura it is waitzkin I think too. Purple belt here you? I went to nyc to train with marcelo.
Yeah, I'm purple with a couple of stripes. I went to NYC to train with Marcelo too, but the class I got into wasn't taught by him (still really super good jits though).
I'm not that good at chess so I wanted to ask: Why didn't Geller block the last check of Fischer with his own rook? - Offering an exchange that leads into a draw and/or protecting his own pawn to push it further? Because Fischer would have to move his rook or he would lose it and then Geller can simply move his own pawn while Fischer needs atleast 2 more moves to check Geller again so Geller can simply play around his own rook for a draw or get Fischer's rook if he blunders.
After A5 check
White Rook stop by D5
But fisher captures the rook at D5
white king captures back then
Fisher captures the Pawn at F5
That was a pretty good hint - it must be Josh Waitzkin.
7:43 “made a nice *Medo* -“ i mean *trip* with his king
Fisher just made a nice trip with the queen 🤣
Looks like Josh Waizkin. Searching for Bobby Fischer. Good film.
actually at 10:12 if u push g2 Rh6 is still checkmate
Geller had an overall plus score against four world champions: Mikhail Botvinnik +4−1=7, Vasily Smyslov +11−8=37, Tigran Petrosian +5−3=32, Bobby Fischer +5−3=2.[3] In total, Geller played ten and beat eight world chess champions, and his overall record in games in classical chess against world champions is positive: +39−36=131 (Max Euwe +1−1, Mikhail Botvinnik +4−1=7, Vassily Smyslov +11−8=37, Mikhail Tal +6−6=23, Tigran Petrosian +5−3=32, Boris Spassky +6−10=22, Bobby Fischer +5−3=2, Anatoly Karpov +1−2=5, Gary Kasparov +0−1=2, Viswanathan Anand +0−1=1). Geller did rather badly against Korchnoi (+6−11=16) and Polugaevsky (+4−11=21).
So, he was very good player. Almost 20 years older than Fisher. And had better score vs Fisher.
Is it possible to have only a rook and a king to checkmate your opponent without any other pieces ??
Of course. Look it up on UA-cam.
Yes, it's one of the first techniques you should learn.
Well, bare king mates are basics you should study. Rook or Queen are definitely able to deliver mate with help from your King. In the case of minor pieces you need at least 2. As someone said, UA-cam is crawling with such lessons. Cheers
I'm too busy trying to beat stockfish 9 at suicidal level strength 20

That quote shows how strong Fischer's will power was ...
Josh waitzkin or something like that, searching for Bobby fisher was the movie that inspired me to progress in chess.
Josh Waitzkin is the kid, movie is Searching for Bobby Fischer.
Who's the guy on the top right on all of your videos? I am guessing he is your idol chess player , but who is he?
Sorry , but I am completely new to the chess professional scene.
little lion Mikhail Tal, former world champion
Can someone explain the meaning behind the quote please?
Photo is josh waitzkin as a young boy!
How about if he blocked with the rook?
Quick question. I thought you could mate with a rook and a King so how is it a draw if rook manages to take their last pawn?
the rook sacrifices itself for the pawn so its only two kings on the board it's a draw by insufficient mating material
Where from you brother
What if Geller had played Rook to d5 to block the check?
This grind is like Fisher begging please let me win and geller let him generously
Can't imagine how he can blunder this game
Jedi are relentless!
What if rook blocks Fischer’s check with d5?
#suggestion atleast one in between game of col. Alexander and botvinnik, when it was WW2 and Alexander was although IM but crushed botvinnik.
Joshua Waitzkin is it ?
Why is Rook to D5 no opportunity for Geller ?
Woah!
Joshua Waitzkin !! A very old video of urs had it...he lost interest in chess after achieving a lot...i also have the chess software he has developed
