Bobby Fischer wins AGAIN with the Fischer-Sozin Attack in 19 moves

This is a game between Bobby Fischer and Jovan Sofrevski from the 1967 Skopje Tournament. Nearly 4 years ago, I uploaded a game review ( • Bobby Fischer wins wit... ) from this very tournament highlighting Fischer's 17-move win with the Fischer-Sozin Attack against Peter Dely. Only recently did I realize Fischer won a 2nd brief game (19 moves) later on in the tournament with the same opening variation he helped pioneer, the Fischer-Sozin Attack.

    I want to thank you for not adding "your moves", as other YT chess gurus do consistently when it comes to games of these top players of the time, (those guys don't understand their place). I can't learn anything from those guys as they rattle off options, (and there is probably good reason why the best in the world did not choose "their" option.). That is very distracting when I am trying to figure out what "Fischer", (for example), is thinking. Kudos for showing the game with out trying to show up the best in the world. Some people,---just don't know their place. :) Doug in Michigan You YT gurus should have a on-line chess tournament, funded by go-fund me donations for money, (that could get big. Think about it), and put everybody in their proper place. :)

    i have seen so many of your vids that not only did I get the moves(apart from Qe2) but I could also guess the exact explanation that you gave. You have really changed my thinking style when it comes to chess, the only problem is I am too slow, and even 15 min games are not long enough for me to come up with the correct idea(That is even if I can find the correct ideas). I am practicing blindfold chess right now along with puzzles at 2500 rating in lichess, but that is not helping me avoid simple blunders I make because I want to save time or am simply too lazy to calculate all the way through. I am working on it tho, hopefully, one day I can cross the 2000 mark(currently 1950). Thank you ChessNetwork!!!

    It is worth mentioning that this game comes from round 17 of the 1967 Skopje tournament and that Fischer actually had the exact same position after 12 Kb1 in round 2 against Efim Geller but lost a wild tactical game in just 23 moves. It is therefore quite likely that he had run some analysis of the position in advance of the Sofrevski game and quite possible that this Qe3+Nd5 idea could have been preparation. Unfortunately it is rare for Fischer's losses to get videos - putting these 2 miniatures together might have made for a more interesting arrangement.

    I especially appreciate the point about the e6 pawn being worth more than a point, and as much as 2.5 points, since it really is the lynchpin of black's defense, and without it all black's pawns in the middle of the board are isolated, which is fatal.
