The sheer physical presence of Fischer sitting across the board from you in his prime, a relatively large man compared to his peers, combined with the intense energy he exuded & his brilliant mind must have been a daunting challenge to even his most competent challengers ! Under that sort of pressure in tournament conditions it's no wonder that his opponents eventually blundered or imploded. All except Spassky, Fischer claimed, crumbled beneath him

"People have been playing against me below their strength for years" - Bobby Fischer Fischer kind of played similar to an engine; very aggressive yet extremely accurate. Even world champions were terrified of facing him as a TEENAGER (see Smyslov - Fischer in Bled 1961). As for Spassky, Karpov theorised that he admired Fischer too much to entertain defeating him. I'm not sure how true this is, but they did do a lot of prep together before the 72 Championship, so if anyone would understand Spassky, it would be Karpov. Imo we will never have such a dominant champion, at least for a very long time

It's not wonder it was said that the 3 most feared opponents in chess were Fischer, Capablanca, and Tal (Tal because of his sneaky-assery).

Absolutely fantastic how Bobby capitalizes on every small inaccuracy of his opponents, whereas his own play is totally flawless! Fischer's superiority in this short period of time from about 1970 to 1972 is almost unique in history, only Paul Morphy can maybe compared with Fischer and not even Kasparov was that much stronger than everyone else, he had always Karpov close behind him, although Kasparov's reign lasted for about two decades, not only two years...

I remember that Fischer, Capa, and Kasparov are technically the most accurate world champions, and Bobby's legendary streak is the most accurate streak of any champion ever (nearly 72% engine move correlation compared to moves played in-game). For comparison, Magnus at his BEST peaked at around 70%...while living in an era with computer engines... all Fischer had was a small room, a chess board, and a dream. The man was on a totally different level; Morphy crushed amateurs while Fischer crushed organised professionals. Magnus pathetically draws every game and wins tournaments by half a point; Fischer preferred to lose rather than draw (always pressing for an advantage) and still won tournaments by 3, 4, or 5 points. Fischer was nearly 2800 *in 1972* while his "peers" were almost 200 rating points below him

The ash tray was dedicated to Tal.

what a game by Bobby ... life isn't nice to some of the gems of our world. i started playing chess because of bobby as did many.

This game is just great, that queen litteraly blockaded the access to the f-pawn while attacking the rook by direct opposition while passively protecting his own rook without even having to guard it and litteraly spoliating white from doing any decent moves, and white is fucking Reshevsky! That game while remaining quite short and easy to tackle is briliant. This is a great mate pattern one has to keep in mind. I think it is quite possibly my favorite game ever.

Nice game.

I certainly didn't think that the brilliant Sammy Reshevsky and I had anything in common until I saw Queen to f4. I too did not see that coming. Chess is so much just seeing one move farther ahead than your opponent.

Please do a series for Grishchuk and need to see more of Ivanchuk.

That Ph2 "should " be always the next automatic step after castling 🤔

7:30 ...Qf4 WOW what a move!

wow...what a finish!!!

I wonder how long Reshevsky looked at that last position before resigning

I am no expert but moves like King H1 always seem risky in my amateur games.. It really opens up the back rank checkmate opportunities

@joel0772

I think that move would’ve lost the game for black, cause after queen to E1 from black, white queen to F7 with protected check, move the bking to H8, then move the wking from H1 to G1 to protect the rook, if black doesn’t move its queen to E7 then it’s game over cuz then the white queen moves from F7 to F8 taking the bishop with protected check, E8 rook is gonna have to take F8 Queen getting rid of check, then F1 white rook takes F8 black rook with checkmate I just got into chess around a month ago, so sorry I don’t know how to talk in chess notation yet. But these guys being highly skilled I doubt black would miss queen to E7 so who knows how it would’ve turned out, but the point is Fischer’s move was better to checkmate but who knows I’m not a gm or anything

No doubt now, Fisher was really a genius :)

I was actually thinking Q e3 at the end there. I think it would have had the same result.

@lecobra418

2 жыл бұрын

Not quite, the whole point of Qd4 is to clear the way for the rook in case white would block check with his rook meaning you can use the e8 rook to mate (Qd4+, Rf2, Re1#). With the queen on e3 the f1 rook can block the check and now the backrank mate is not possible anymore because the king remains on g1 to protect the rook and the black queen blocks the black rook and the only possibility is a perpetual check between e1 and e3 because the c1 square is guarded by the bishop so you can't even free up the rook by going on this square and you can't take the bishop because the f-pawn would be undefended as well as your rook, so Qe3 leads at best to a draw and if not (let's say you tries to grab the bishop or protect the rook while not defending the f-pawn which is impossible because of the d5 pawn) white is winning by force (Qxf7+, kh8, Qxf8+, Rxf8, Rxf8#). Also, because the king is still on g1 guarding the rook you cannot even tries the queen trick (once you set up your queen on e3) by going back to f4 because the f2 rook could simply takes it and the black rook wouldn't be able to do anything because the white rook going back to f1 would be protected by the king. The whole point of Qd4 is to push the king on h1 to isolate both the rook and the king and to allow a forced backrank mate, Qd4 is forced mate, Qe3 is forced draw (or losing). Something tells me you didn't calculate, if you want to impove you have to calculate, unless you're Tal!

e3 would have worked as well right?

It doesn't sound like much but $6,000 in 1961 was an enormous amount of money.. a years salary for some.

I found Qe3+ for Bobby. Works the same, right? Continuation is the same, Kh1 for white, then Qf2 for black. Someone let me know if I'm wrong. Thx.

Bit of a late reply. Qe3 isn't the best as it blocks the rook's access of the e-file. (Qe3+ Kh8) Also, if you were thinking of Qxa3, winning a bishop, Qxf7+ and it is game over... for Fischer.
