I think people are overlooking the fact that Larsen detested Fischer and the pair were great rivals, only recently Larsen had played as board one for The Rest of the World Vs USSR match with Fischer as board two. Larsen had been very critical of Fischer not only for his play but personally too, so Larsen felt he had something to prove in this match, losing 6 - 0 was not acceptable to him. Opting for Bird's opening was likely an attempt to draw Fischer onto less well known ground to him, but with Larsen being considered an expert in 'flank openings' it is far less a strange choice than it appears at first glance.

There was a period from 1965-1968 where Fischer was probably the strongest player in the world. The only reason why he didn't become world champion sooner was his odd tantrums. By the time of the USSR vs The World in 1970, Fischer had basically been out of top level chess for 2 years. This is what allowed Larsen to lobby for board one. Larsen was probably of the opinion that Fischer would be out of form. Going 3/4 against Petrosian and crushing the Interzonal should have dispelled this myth, but Larsen still thought of himself as the best non-soviet. He did, after all, go 1.5/3 against Spassky and put fear into the Soviets that he could win game 4 against their world champion. However, there's no real way to look at the evidence and claim Larsen was even equal to Fischer after about 1963.

''...attack the king, but what else would Tal suggest?''. Beautiful.

Okay I've heard about this Bobby Fischer guy before and heard that he's good but I was like "how good can he be really?" and then I saw this series and holy shit this is what Bobby Fischer is - the absolute machine. Thank you so much for expanding my vast knowledge mate.

He had a 11-0 in the US chess championship 63/64. And then in the Herceg Novi unofficial blitz tournament in 1970, considered one of the greatest blitz tournaments ever held, Ficher scored 19/22, 4 an half points ahead of Tal for first place, and his only loss was to Korchnoi which he split with him, and he beat all the Russians that played in that tournament 8½/1½. And in all 22 games from Herceq, Fischer only spent 2 an half minutes per game as they didn't have time increments then either. Then many months later in a Manhattan blitz tournament, Ficher scored 21½/22, and with those two blitz tournaments, he would of had a 2950 rating, and the obvious other achievements like 8-0 vs Nigel Short an what have you.

It’s like when you see George Carlin for the 1st time

Fischer was so far ahead of his time. He just dominates the competition. It is truly awe inspiring to watch these classic games of his. Just wow!!

As I've said, I sat near Larsen when he won a big international tournament in Snowmass, Co. before this match. He had no problems with altitude or anything else then. Larsen's only real problem was facing the great Bobby Fischer over the board in 1971. Wonderful analysis of these games! Bravo!!

A draw against fisher is a victory.

There will never be anyone like Fischer.

i love that i can go back and watch these finally. i am astonished at the volume of great videos you have made over the years, and no mid roll ads!

Fischer was of course by far the better player than Larsen, not because Larsen was a weak player, but because Fischer was far above any other player. But even keeping this in mind, 6:0 was not a olausible result. Larsen was just mentally destroyed and losed faith in his own abilities at some point.

Not only that but the more games you lose the more you are pressured because drawing all other games isnt enough you simply have to win and the more you lose the more you have to win. This spiral of mental destruction is what imo caused the drop. Larsen simply had no other choice but to play for win every game with the sharpest lines but simply he couldnt do it.

Fischer's score of 17½ out of 30 (counting draws) against Spassky, rated 2545 at the time, gave him a performance rating of 2645,[10] which would have put him at No. 12 in the world on the July 1992 list. Yasser Seirawan believed that the match proved that Fischer's playing strength was "somewhere in the top ten in the world". Kasparov himself was dismissive of Fischer, stating that "Bobby is playing OK, nothing more. Maybe his strength is 2600 or 2650. It wouldn't be close between us He never lost his skill just his stamina ( age ) He retreated to Iceland and trained the Polgar sisters to be the strongest female players . Ever

Great vid agad. I always looks forward to see a chess video everytime i look on my sub box. Thanks a lot!

Coming back to how Korchnoi was a tougher opponent was Petrosian than Larsen was for Fischer (which he most likely was, Korchnoi has a very good score against all top Soviet players including World Champions except for Karpov and - from those few games he played with - against Kasparov), I went and check the ratings list. Curiously the Jan 1971 list, which still was in effect during those matches, Fischer is rated 2740 (#1 in the world), Petrosian 2640 (#5) and Korchnoi AND Larsen are tied for the 3rd place on the list with 2660. So even ratings agree, even though in a weird manner - both Fischer and Tigran were playing opponents of supposedly the same strength, but for Fischer his opponent was rated 100 lower and for Petrosian his was rated 20 point higher. On the July lists (right after these matches), Fischer gained 20 points to reach 2760 (#1), Petrosian stayed at 2640 (5=), Korchnoi gained 10 to reach 2670 (#3) and Bent Larsen stayed on 2660 and #4. Those aside, it turns out that outside or the player rated #2 in the world (WC Spassky at 2690), the final four contenders were the other top 4 players from the world's top 5.

I've had an excellent Saturday, thank you, and it's about to get better!

6 great games by Fischer. I feel bad for poor Larsen. I hope you will show a game that he wins at some point in future to redeem him.

Loving the hair cut. Looking spiffy!

Your videos got me into chess

So far Fishers streak of winning is 19 games in a row. He won his last 7 games from his previous tournament.

I would like to see a series on Lasker, since no one before or since ever played in the style of Lasker. It was never said about any other great chess player that it was hard to play against his bad moves!!!!

The fact that Fischer basically invented the modern chess clock, an entirely new and recognized game of Fischer Random, the complete annihilation of the soviet chess machine single handedly, and the fact he was 120-130 points ahead of his closest competition cements the fact for that period of time, without any debate or question, he was and is the greatest chess player who ever lived..I think you need a category for "Other" when talking about the greatest ..in other words, Fischer was of course without question and for all time the greatest: but who could be classified below him? Watching Magnus play is like kissing ur sister.. his games are uninspired, robotic, obviously computer theory, and little to no creativity

@larrylindgren9484

Жыл бұрын

Magnus wins because he plays the engine moves better. He doesn't make a mistake forgetting what move the engine would make. Most chess players now never think they just move the piece they are supposed to. The engine takes out any thought of, "let's move this piece." You don't move a piece trying a different defense or attack now. You move what the engine says you to move. The loser of a game makes a mistake. Getting away from the engine. Magnus pretty much never makes that mistake. As Fischer never much made a mistake to lose a game. Magnus bores his way to a match win. But that's the way chess it played now. The player that loses misses an engine move. The other didn't.

C4 to D3 isn’t a possible move by the knight. He could go either to D2 or E3. But if the knight is moved, even to E3 to fork the rooks, D1 attacks the bishop which could threaten checkmate if they capture the rook on F1. So the threat doesn’t materialize

is that picture in the newspaper of Fischer and Larsen really the 6'th game ? When was black's bishop on H8 during the game ?
