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. :)

Jerry has the best analysis. Move the piece with the fewest options first. Why didn't I think of that.
@beaconite4249

I agree. Another way to look at it might be to say move the piece that can be threatened first (rook) over the one that can’t be (queen). At least in this case.

And what he mentioned earlier, look for intersecting squares (squares that more than one piece is watching and likely to mount)

We are so blessed to have Jerry, what did we do to deserve so many uploads
Jerry, you are the King!!! Thank you for the helpful tips!
It's not only the wisdom of choosing, among dozens, the most brilliant game of the genius Fischer (as in this case), but the skillful narration explained it in detail, that makes this video a Chess lesson. Thank you, sir.
Your game analysis videos are by far my favorites! Thanks! So educating and entertaining. The subtle humor is the cherry on top
I got a lot out of it. Thanks as always Jerry. The way you think in terms of principles is something I strive to emulate in my own games.
Thank you Jerry. I'm so happy you are uploading videos man!
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!!!

Fantastic breakdown!
Fascinating match. Excellent breakdown of the game. You`re the best
Thank you for this wonderful analysis.
How I love and enjoy your content! I really missed these reviews. Yours are the best comments one can find on yt. Thanks for your work!
Really instructional analysis! Being aware of the value of individual pawns and piece flexibility is something hard to think of consciously during a game. Thanks for bringing it up
It's been years. You're still my fav. You explain things so well 💪
Awesome explanation of the knight sac. Great video, thank you Jerry!
Enjoyed the fewest option rule or thought process. I’m definitely going to keep that in mind.
Finally a new Fischer game! your analysis is the best. Hoping for more to come
I really got a lot from your teaching about piece convergence squares and the possibility of piece flexibility in attack in determing move order.
The final thing working against black on move 19 was that he was playing against Bobby Fischer.
Thanks for all the explanations! Much appreciated…
Excellent analysis, as always
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.

Fascinating game! Please keep up the good work. 20 minutes in the channel and already subscribed!
Note to self: decisive attacks on critical pawns are really fun moves to play. The other day my opponent moved the bishop to defend the pawn preventing mate, but I had a revealed Double check #2 and their bishop couldn't even help. So much fun. Thanks for showing this Fischer game. Watch all of your vids.

thanks for the video jerry!
Learned two new things in this video: First sacrificing to make a major weakness...but this one would be hard for me to convert. The second is reserving the piece with most mobility to move last.

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.

I also like your point about moving the piece with fewer options first; hence, the rook before the queen in the present game. I'm not sure I understand that concept yet, but it gives me something to think about!
By the way Jerry I started watching since I joined my school's chess club and I'm still watching this as a NM a few years later, this channel has been great :)
Very interesting game played by the great Bobby. 👍👏👏👏👏
what a great tutorial. Fascinating.
Just a thought. If you linked up with Ben Finegold, we could have Ben and Jerry's chess analysis whilst we ate ice-cream.
I had to (and thankfully did) find a similar just in time light squared bishop move not even an hour ago to save a game in an exchange French. So naturally my pop quiz answer was to move the queen first :-/. Great video Jerry!
Very helpful rule. Thanks.
Hey Jerry. Just watching all your “Bobby” videos again. 👍
Really enjoyed this breakdown Jerry. I've been digging this channel for a while now and appreciate the extra tips. I shared this video with my brother and signed off with "check you later." If it isn't, I feel like "check you later" should be used as parting words amongst chess nerds (like us) all the time. Thanks for all the great breakdowns. Check ya later.
Great tutorial! Badass!

Hey Jerry! Really enjoying your videos for so many years, because in each there is at least one thing I can take away. Today for example was your rule of thumb regarding the flexibility stuff with the rook and queen. I will definitely remember that! Keep it up! :)
very cool thanks for the teaching
Very instructive.
Great video! I thought this was going to be a Agadmator video by the look of the video photo. I have stumbled upon another great chess channel. Looking forward to watching more of your videos!
