In 1957-58 at the age of 14 Bobby Fischer played in his first US Championship. He would win the tournament and become an International master soon after. His opponent in this featured game is Edmar Mednis, one of the 3 people ever to beat Fischer at a US Championship.
This is the 2nd video for the upcoming graphic novel "Bobby Fischer, the Knight who killed the Kings."

Kevin, not only you are an excellent chess commentator but also you comment one of many memorable games of the chess legend Bobby Fischer the Great. This is a gift for me, thank you so much.
Excellent analysis of an excellent game by Bobby Fischer.
Thanks John
i'm not even that into chess, but i love the guy who narrates this video. i watched a bunch of other chess matches that he narrates too. he's just fun to listen too. and i learn a bit about chess. great work!
I can't believe I just watched a 40 minute video, and didn't feel one moment of boredom. Splendid commentary. Great match. Excellent video. Subscribed.
damn felt like 10

I fell asleep but I pulled an all nighter playing chess though . Just found out how to play

The American Chess Congress was the official sponsor of the BOBBY FISCHER INT’L CHESS PARK proposed to be built in Santa Monica to honor the only American to have won the World Chess Championship. Bobby had an impressive career and for many is considered the greatest in chess. He began to study chess at the age of six and became a voracious student of the game. Fischer won the United States Chess Championship at the age of fourteen and at fifteen became the youngest Grandmaster at that time. In two consecutive years, he won the United States Chess Championship with a perfect score and has held the title eight times. In 1972, he captured the World Chess Championship with a decisive lead. In 1975, the Soviets and the International Chess Federation [FIDE] claimed the title on forfeiture in what is still a controversial issue and thus began the FIDE World Chess Championship. In 1992, Fischer emerged to play a rematch for the real title and won in good fashion. He died in 2008.
The chess tables at the foot of the pier in Santa Monica, California are known of internationally. It was the former site of the old Santa Monica Bay Chess Club. Bobby first played in Santa Monica during the Piatigorsky Cup [a strong international tournament] in 1966. When Fischer lived in Pasadena in the late eighties, he would delight many with his visits to the tables. For these reasons, the tables have been selected to honor a great American chess hero.
Thanks so much! I must have played over this game many many times from Fischer's 60 memorable games (as well as the game you did between Fischer and Pal Benko)! You're explanations were great it makes the game really come alive and it's so easy to appreciate the genius of Bobby Fischer even at 14!
Great job with commentating. You brought out several lines and suggested the more correct way to play in several situations. Thanks.
Thanks for the video. The explanation for why certain moves and seeing the variations was very helpful.
@RxZ95sssPG I completely agree. At 14 I was playing tournament at school, learning basic strategy. Bobby Fischer was winning US Championships playing amazing chess. Pretty incredible.
your videos are excellent thanks for putting them up!
There will never be another Bobby Fischer! He revolutionized chess. Opponents couldn't figure him out, and he could see so many moves ahead. Not as much specific moves, as much as seeing where weaknesses in position would be opening up later on. I remember how his match against Spassky really catapulted the game with the general public, and I watched the games during my high school senior year. Great times, as I played on my high school chess club, as well. RIP Mr. Fischer.
Ummm Magnus is Magnus is
I just love how you go step by step explaining each move, love your video’s.
Glad you enjoy my style, Kenneth.
So many people complaining in the comments... no one is forcing you to watch it... I think the commentary and analysis of this channel is awesome!
I've been a chess geek for a number of years. I find his game and thinking better than any other chess players in history.
Great commentary!! Ive learned more here than watching ten other GM commentaries. Must be due to you talking in clean English and describing the different variances with clarity. Well done!!
I like the talk you explain very well
I feel I can learn from you explaining thanks
Clear and informative commentary. As always.
Great, fantastic and immortal Bobby Fischer!!! Respect forever!!!
What a sound , marvellous game on behalf of both players, simple and down to earth 🤣
I have never admired a chess player. The only chess player I have ever admired is Bobby Fischer. His games are out of this world.
Nice vid, good presentation with a strong subject. My c/c would be that the overall length of the vid is longer than necessary.
great commentary and a great tool for getting better..
always a pleasure to watch your videos!! Thanks a lot to take that time!!!
I enjoy your videos. Yes, Commentating and Public Speaking skills are an art form and can be learned and improved; However, I really appreciate that you take your time with the explanations and you offer explanation for why moves are good or bad. I appreciate the variations. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.
Thanks for that clear analysis. I'm a big Fischer fan.
I won my chess championship in my school and this game helped me alot thanks alot for this.
Kevin, there’s a very exciting game to review; Fischer vs. J Bennett, 1956. The last 10 moves of a 40 move game, display Fischer’s brilliance. It’s a game for the All Star list. Fischer check mates Bennett with his last move takes Bennett’s Queen. I’d like to hear your comments. If you have Tiger Pro Chess it’s in that library as Fischer, game 26.
This channel is amazing guys but always watch at 1.25x 😂
Excellent commentary! Thank you so much.
hey kevin. thanks for putting all these videos up. ive started chess with your video and ive watched all of them. i like the basics. and i love the games that uve been posting lately. i would really like to see some more advanced stuff from you. maybe some off- beat variations of some openings and maybe some of your insight on middlegame tactics. thank you for your time and videos!! ur the best!
Great Commentary and selection of players to choose from to study there games,i enjoy these games very much.
I recently started studying chess and these commentaries have been helpful, thank you.
All Chess players. Worldwide. Thankyou.
You are a very excellent teacher!
Nicely explained! Question: Fischer was 6 years younger; how old was the opponent when He began playing(etc)?
Top commentary as always.
at 14:12 Kevin really wants to say "fuckload of material"
Very good commentary about Bobby Fischer; as result, this video was just awesome.
@Jkaimakides Glad you enjoyed. I always learn a lot from studying Fischer's games. Hopefully everyone else does as well.
thanks for another great video!
Thankyou.
3 moves done and its almost 4 minutes... But well detailed and i learned a lot.
What a wonderful player...
excellent analysis and entertaining in the process....
Great commentary, thank you!
The videos are great and great analysis, I loaded the game up played black against the computer right where the King goes to the center instead of the A8; I am watching all of the videos... it seems like BF always camps out with the three pawns on the same side of the castle action, its like your broadcasting the games and its more exciting than an NBA game...
excellent stuff!
i can't believe a person with that kind of play was one of the 3 people the same person to defeat Bobby Fischer in another game
great commentary, thanks Kevin
Great video. A point though: @ 24:08 when black plays Rg8 it's also a defensive play against Ng5 because if 1. Ng5 -- pxg5 2. Rxh8. Another possibility is 1. Ng5 -- bd7 and black loses a pawn after Qxf7.
I hope he takes your advice. Couldn't agree more.
Usually watch agadmator's chess channel. Explains the game just as well but in less than half the time. Good information but it's so dragged out here.
The significance of the Rook in the 2nd rank as a mode of defense is only mentioned in your analysis but not explored further. It is a vital move in the defense. Analyze deeper.
There's an interesting anecdote regarding this (Rook in 2nd rank as defense) in Fischer's life.
He played an important game against the Yugoslavian GM Gligoric using this strategy. It is very famous.
He was 15 when he played that.
Look up "Sicilian Vespers Fischer Gligoric" in google. There's an article on Chessbase.
Very instructive!
The more I look at Fischer’s games the more I’m convinced his skills were inspired.
I agree with you.
awesome videos dude, amazing commentary
very nice analysis. ty
24:53 Fischer's decision to trade the light-square bishop for the knight is crucial. If he passed on that, black's next move would be Ba3, which would disintegrate the defence around the white king.
I enjoyed that analysis. Thank you.
I noticed a lot of future thought in the move choices of the players. I know video length reduces commentary time but it could help others if those future attacks were mentioned. Some moves don't make sense unless the threat that developes 3 moves forward is revealed in the analysis. In any case, thanks for the replay and thoughts!
Chess is about decision trees. This is how computers beat human players.
i enjoy your videos alot!
i've noticed the level of the sound varies a lot from video to video - keep having to readjust my volume..
not sure what the solution is.. just thought i'd mention it in case you werent aware.
thanks for the game!
It would have been better to cut the video time in half and get to the point more quickly. I prefer Agamador's analyses.
We talked about it b4
nice pun
Thanks!
Great video
Damn that 4 queen game needed a conclusion instead it ended like it didn't exist
Great insight!
@DJDhananjayK this is definitely playable and still give white an advantage. White would gain the pawn but keep in mind that this locks the pawn structure and makes it more difficult to break through for an attack where as Qxg4 and then exchanging pawns allows white to open the door for an attack later.
Also, at 35:21
After Kf8, Qg6 leads to unavoidable mate but more forceful is Rf2+ which leads to mate in a series of checks rather than wait for black to let you mate.
After Rf2+, the variations are:
... Ke8
Qg8+ Bf8
Qf8++
... Bf6
Rf6+ Ke7
Qg7+ K**
Qd7++
(That is, Any move by the King (forced) will be met by checkmate by Qd7)
Although your analysis is right and will lead to mate, it is best to not allow time for the opponent to retaliate. Rather mate forcefully in a series of checks.
Awesome. Please tell me more.
20:40 he could've always push forward with b4, we've talked about this b4 ;D
i like the way how mednis has to castle queen side also. early in the game black wasnt going to be able to castle kingside. blacks strategy largely becomes to push his queenside pawns because white castles q-side, but in-so-doing, his defence is already broken WHEN he castles queenside! a magician at the chessboard. one of my best friends...
Thanks Kevin I am truly a better chess player and a force to be reckon with. I have really improve and I study fisher games all the time. Harlem NYC
Great commentary!!
just one thing:
At 36:47 you said there isn't no great move, BUT:
If Edmar took the horse with queen, Fischer's king is forst to flee to B1 (can't take the queen with pawn because of checkmate by rooks). Then black queen goes to A1 checking again. king moves to C2. black tower goes to B2 checking the king resulting in a victory by Edmar!!!
Instead of taking with the horse, Fischer should have played queen to F7 checking the king and then tower to E8, checkmate in 2 moves.
Great analysis thanks :)
Comment the 1972 Fischer vs. Spassky. Please.
great video as always :)
These are really helpful
At 36:46 i disagree with your analysis of Mednis's move to bring black bishop to a3. he could have capitalized on it once fisher had taken the bishop with the knight by bringing his rook to b2, bishop's rook then moves to b2 taking mednis rook, mednis responds by moving queen to a3, which forces bishop to either move his rook to a2 to block or move his king to b1, if bishop had moved his rook to a2 it would be checkmate in the next move with mednis moving his queen to c1 securing the mate
Because if black moves his rook to b2 to capture the b2 pawn then
fischer would move his queen to f7 which would force black to move his king to c8 to avoid chekmate and then fischer would check with R to e8 and force black to bring his queen to d8 and then he would loose his queen.
1st viewer, whooooohaaaaaaa!!!!!!! Bobby Fischer is my favorite player, I love the Queen sacrifice. Best player and human ever
And human? You must be joking.
can you make video that only show the moves of bobby fisher games?
@guitarfella581 There is at least one better option to defend against that attack.
The danger is that when the black rook has room to come to the b-file, the bishop can go to a3 and then the knight on c3 will fall, right? (25:00)
What if White just ignores that threat for one move while black goes all out on the attack?
I came up with something like this: Nf4-Rd7, Ka1-Rb7, Rb2-Ba3, Qe3
Black will of course have already seen that such attack won't work, meanwhile white is getting more active.
clever play. people underestimate just how good that kid is...
HEy mayne, I would jst like to say HEY MAYNE can you use a 3 hour on bobby fischer's chess games..or basically can i request a video to be recorded like, BOBBY FISCHERS GAMES and Magnus carlsens games and KASPAROV! :) also BROWNSTEIN!
It almost seems to me that Fischer's retreating and passive playing was another way of him saying "I'm Bobby Fischer, and I'm better than you at Chess. So here... have a few free tempos!" LOL.
at about 17:30, the best move for black is to move the g5 pawn to g4. If he had not done that, white could have taken the pawn for free (black could not take because white would have taken the h8 rook with h1 (or taken a free pawn with the queen) or white could have continued the pressure (completely opening up kings side) and attacked the next pawn seeing as rook and queen were both angled on h6.)
best way to watch these videos is at 2 times speed
Try 0.5 x speed more preschool friendly
Shadi Gif lol
@jkayron It doesn't do much. Let's say Rb2 then Qg7+ and king can only go to d8 or e8 and in both cases Rf8 is checkmate.
I learned a lot!! Thank you
hehe, I'm honored I beat all the religious comments too :)
Ugly is subjective and machine-like is a metaphor. Karpov plays (at least the games I saw) very structured. He gets diagonals, creates a positional advantage and crushes his opponents. That's what I mean by machine-like, the same structure occurring over and over again (and it works).
Some other players make clever sacrifices and create a devastating attack out of nowhere. While not every game can have them, I think that's true beauty
What if after white knight captures black bishop black rook takes white pawn b2? Then white rook must take black rook and then black queen takes white knight on a3. I just saw that all white would need to do is after black rook takes white pawn, white queen moves to f7 check, and then it's over for black. It's been a while since my chess playing days and it was during the Fischer v Spassky era so this video is close to home. Great job and I have subscribed. Thanks for sharing.
Uploaded on my birthday!
He was down a knight and resigned?
What can you learn from resigning?
I think there's some mistakes in your commentary. i.e. missing the attack on f5 at 19:15 and missing Fischer's defence ideas via Ka1 Nb1 c3 a3, which essentially won the game. I guess missing these ideas is where your downvotes are coming from.
37:13 There was a moves for Mednis but he didn't see them by: 1.Rf2 Qf3+ 2. bxq3 Rf3
bxq3? I didnt know theres a chess board that long
I didn't catch the name of either person playing this game. Can you please repeat each player's name every single time a piece is moved? Thanks. That would be very helpful.
@subscribian it's a 40 minute video. I'm sorry if a made a small mistake and called something the wrong thing and then corrected myself.
You’re a GREAT commentator
Amazing how a 14 years old boy can come up with stuff like this.
I couldn't finish this post due to the terrible commentary .
