I now play on chess. com against the computer , on a very low level. This after a 40 year hiatus. One thing now tho , I don’t throw the pieces anymore.

The actual story behind is Spassky was being poisoned with radiation by the Americans before and after games, Fischer was being fucked with by the soviets due to frequencies they had admitting from the cameras at the event. Fischer requested a different room away from the noise and Spassky agreed, probably because he knew what was going on. People don’t realize Spassky was forced to play in fear by the Russians. It was all political

There’s something quite brag-able about beating someone at their own game.

*Spassky makes move* "Brilliant move by Spassky here, this gives him four openings for a devastating attack." *Fischer makes move* "The best Spassky can hope for is a draw." I have no idea what I'm watching but the fact that so much can change in one move is thrilling to me.

I remember enjoying his commentaries very much when there were episodes of the BBC's The Master Game on youtube. "I make this move ... with great pleasure!"

Agadmator, please pin this comment as it will give interior insight on this game from Spassky's side. Source: The book about this match by Nikolai Krogius. This variation was a novelty home-cooked by Spassky, Iivo nei, Geller and Krogius. Instead of 21.h5 they planned to play exchange rooks on d file and play Rd8, that was a home-preparation. Spassky spent 45 minutes on this move and played h5. After the game Geller interrogated Spassky about that move, he rebuked him saying "let us say the two moves are equally good, then you could spend those 45 minutes on our home prepared variant if you did not forget." Spassky replied he did not forget 21.Rd8 but said that he thought h5 is better. Then Geller rebuked even more saying "you did not forget and did not play. You did not trust us?" The book gives their home variation, I checked it via Droidfish and it says Black is winning. The score starts with -0.65 and increases the depth increases. Spassky was to exchange rooks and play Rd8 instead of h5. Karpov says in his interview (Karpov on Fischer) that that was a winning line and a novelty created by Spassky's team but Spassky did not memorize the analysis saying "I will find the moves over the board." EDIT: It has been years since I read the book in Russian, the way I recalled it might not be precise. I may be confusing the conversations but I am sure Geller rebyked Spassky and the home-prepared continuation was to exchange the rooks and play Rd8. and I recall quiet sure Spassky spent 45 minutes on that move according to Krogius.

Yes, Geller was very upset after this game, and it has something to do with game no 3. in this match after which Spassky said that he forgot the continuation in Benoni that was home prepared - he played Nc4 instead of Bb2, which was suggested to Spassky's team by young GM Vasiukov. Krogius book gives great insight in state of Spassky's psychology before and during this match. My opinion is that, in general, he wasn't any weaker than Fischer, if you compare them in their prime, but I think that Spassky was totally burned outafter two extremely difficult WC cycles and matches against Keres, Tal, Korchnoi, Petrosian, and that affected him not just in Reykyavik, but his whole later chess career, which is great pitty because, in my opinion, he was one of the greates pure chess talents you'll ever see.

Mind boggling the memory and analytical skills of these GMs. To remember and incorporate games from years before blows my mind! The number of variations of a chess match has to be in the millions. Take a very young genius who loves the game and add obsession and a tireless work ethic and years of experience and you may become great. Maybe learn 3 or 4 foreign languages so you peruse other countries chess literature and maybe you play for the world championship. I understand why these guys had so many demands as they were playing for chicken feed in sub par conditions for Masters of their craft who should have a been granted any atmosphere they wanted. I guess chess has never had the respect it deserves. Another superior analysis from a Master of the youtube!!!

This Fischer series is fantastic. Thank you for doing it.

I've been following your videos and series for a long while now, but I've never commented for some reason. You're doing an amazing job with these analyses. I just wanted to say thank you for the content! Good job!

When Fischer attack, no one could resist, its beautiful.

Hey agadmator, we really appreciate you putting so much work into your videos and increasing our vast knowledge of the past (so we may not repeat their mistakes in our own games!), you have really improved over time and brighten our every day!

Agad: “this was spassky’s best move” Also Agad: “But fischer had an answer to this” 🤣

Finally! The best game I've seen so far. Thank you.

I like watching this guys evaluations of matches. Great analysis and program. Thank you!

It's amazing how Fisher took on the entire Soviet system with the juggernaugt team around Spasky.

Hadnt play for 30! years, now i play everyday since 3 months lose 90% of the matches and will never stop:) Agadmators channel initially fueled my passion Big Time. Much respect and love to Aga and all the "excellent subscribers".

You are the only channel that I turned notifications for AND also watched all the channel's videos. Really there's no bad video here, while I was waiting for you to upload the Fischer series I went to see if there was a video that I could watch from your channel but found that I already watched them all! Needless to say I had to re-watch some Tal games again, they never lose their magic.

18:36...captures captures. Love hearing it every time!

one of the best commentary by agad. thx so much. what a strong game it was

Never been more interested in chess games before, great series agadmator

After noticing someone with a Chess Academy T shirt, I started a 10 minute conversation about this game. That conversation got my attention again for Chess after about 30 years of not playing. All I knew was how to move the pieces. So after a little research, I am very grateful to have found this channel. Although I am not very good at this game, I have come to love it even more. I very much appreciate the history. I have learned a few new things about this game I had no idea about before. Thank you agadmator!!

Hello Agadmator! Your coverage of these matches are like seasons of Game of Thrones to me Every season more intriguing than the previous one And as expected the final season starts with a bang P.S: If Fischer's series was made into a TV series, what will the title be?

World class play by both. Terrific analysis as well. Chess brought to life!

Lol,, I am retired now and enjoying the time I have playing and learning,, Thanks to you and others, there is so much to learn ! Its just great !!! 😁✌🕇❤

Loving the Fischer series. Great stuff!

I click like on every video so I know which ones I've watched, and because I like them. It's always good when a move has more than one purpose.

These videos are my favorite part of the day.

Chess is so infinitely complicated. The rook interaction between d8 h8 is insanity.

Great analysis for a great game! When someone says that draws are always boring, show them this game. This game is excellent. Just 2 great players playing great moves back and forth. I feel like Spassky is often forgot about when we talk about great players because he lost to Fischer but he really was an excellent player, but Bobby Fischer from 1970-1972 was one of, if not the strongest chess player in history and he was nearly unstoppable.

You are right, Spassky is quite the gentleman. Dealing with all of Fischer's antics, and and playing Fischer's favorite openings, seems like really wanted to know who was the better chess player. Like you said, he could have already been named the winner by default.

Man that Qc3 move to force a queen trade is just nasty, I don’t blame Spassky for missing that move so far ahead in the variation. You can’t give Fischer an inch it seems.

Awesome video as always!

16:04 Stops checkmate with queen trade using a pin - what a move to see in advance !!

Spassky - "Hey Bobby, Geller said this not good opening.." Fischer - "ahh F'em!"

I watched all the Reykjavik games in '72. It was my good fortune.

Hi Antonio. Important note for Game 6: Spassky's Immortal Gesture I would very much like that, during the coverage of the game 6 Spassky x Fischer, you mention the fact when Spassky stood up and aplauded Fischer's briliancy in the game known as "The Synfony of Placid Beauty". In my opinion this was the greatest moment in chess history. It shows how much Spassky is a real sportsmen and, above all, a great human being. It has to be remenbered that it was the times of the Cold War and as is well know the atmosphere wasnt all calm for a soviet world champion to confront an American genius. Nevertheless, Spassky succed in demonstrate what was really important among all external tensions: The Art of playing chess. Definietly, a gesture to be properly remembered for the benefit of the new generations. Thanks. P.S. #suggestion "The Uruguayan Immortal". (Uruguayan Championship, 1943 B. Molinari x Luis Roux Cabral)

Hello Alan: I agree that Spassky behaved like a real gentleman, a fine human being, and was very brave. That very human and admirable gesture was the beginning of a lifelong friendship between Spassky and Fischer, and also Fischer's love of Iceland, as the only place he had experienced such a spontaneous and unexpected outburst of acceptance and appreciation. p.s. Bobby was still a total nutcase.
