Bobby is by far my favourite chess player. I'm not supporting everything he stood for as a person but regarding chess he was unreal. One thing I learned over the time especially from his behaviour is thinking you are the best, even if you are not. Respect the person you play but don't respect his or her chess which could lead to fear. That's what I think is needed to cross a certain point and beat people above own strength.
He literally could not possibly have taken more credit. When he says the maximum at everything you can either argue that he was all of that or that he was exaggerating. Not sure you can make a chase for him being better than 'literally everything positive thats said about me I agree'. I personally like it more when people are humble. Albert Einstein was possibly the greatest genius ever but he was always humble because he knew that he is in no way better or worse than anyone else.
@@user-pl9yq3fc8u Our Environment makes all of us one way or another. What's your point? I never blamed Fischer. I just said that he isn't humble which is quite factual. Also I believe that not even the worst serial killer is evil in any way because they were made what they are by their environment (which made their experiences) and their genes. They could have influenced neither. That doesn't change the fact that we have to see them as what they are regardless of them being technically responsible or not.

@@user-pl9yq3fc8u Exactly. I didn't attack you either. I liked your comment. I disagree very much that Fischer got his attitude from the chess community. He was ignored by his Father and not cared for by anyone and was desperately seeking attention from people. He first found that attention when he played chess and he got addicted to it. That's probably the main reason why he was so amazing at chess and also why he was so arrogant. He just really wanted to be complimented and recognized. I don't know why you think I disagreed with you or attacked you or anything. I just like to share knowledge and argue about things.

I think arrogance in a way drives competition to greater heights than humility. Not saying humility is bad or anything but in a competitive sport, it's a way that it pushes people to their limits and perhaps surpass it and set further limits.
@@honorscholar6692 The competitive mindset contains a hint of arrogance by its very nature. It's not competitively useful to think you stand zero chance against your opponent, there must always be an aspect that gives you an edge, which requires you to believe yourself better in some fashion. However, that doesn't mean humility is incompatible with such a mindset. Respecting your opponent doesn't mean overestimating their ability, or lying to them and telling them it was a close game if it clearly wasn't. Respecting your opponent means competing earnestly with them, and appreciating them giving you the opportunity to learn and improve regardless of the results.

Bobby defeated an entire government that was colluding against him since the age of 16 while working alone. He isn't arrogant; he understands and appreciates his greatness. As it should be. The interviews are also cut short so we don't see his justifications or full answers. This is not honest, Vasco.
Too bad Bobby went crazy. He was a breath of fresh air and put chess on the map in a big way. He would have had a fantastic career in front of him, fame, fortune, you name it. Some say it was playing blindfold chess that drove him round the bend but who knows I suppose. One thing for sure is he was one of the greats of the game and people will be studying his games for many years to come.
I think a lot of people have the wrong idea. I do not think he went crazy, I just think he saw the future. If you watch interviews of him from the 2000s for the few years before his passing he talks about how chess originally was a game of both studying but also creativity, finding interesting winning positions while inside each game. But as the years have went by, it went from reading books about tactics and positions to watching computer engines find the best move from each opening. Then it turns into a game of who can memorize the most engine moves from each opening for the longest, and then they have the more desireable end game; granted, you still have to have the ability to win said end-game, but the whole point is that the creativity of strange/uncommon positions is rarely a thing anymore with the more advanced engines and AIs. But then again, I do not see why it would matter to him considering he was the very best of his time. Idk, I just think there is a bit more to it than him going crazy. I'm only 1600 rated myself, but, still.
He was not crazy, this is simply a common smear tactic used by the heavily politicized psychiatric-industrial complex to classify any line of thinking which is dissident (or outside of what society considers 'normal') as a form of mental illness. They did the same thing to the famous writer, Knut Hamsun, and Homosexuality was considered a mental illness in the DSM until relatively recently. That doesn't mean I condone his views either
@@soul_headshot I do not think so. Take Magnus Carlsen, a player that is definitely at the same level, if not better. He rarely plays deep theoretical lines...he mostly steers towards an unknown line and uses his creativity to outclass his opponent. We are way into the future (compared to the Fisher era) too and he still finds plenty of such positions. The more likely explanation of Fisher's behavior is simply that he reached a peak (those candidates matches were astounding). He likely became paranoid with possibly losing and Karpov was a formidable opponent. There is no evidence to suggest that he did anything of significance related to Chess after he became the champion. His behavior post-Championship was hardly sane.
@@lel1433 I do not necessarily disagree. But one must consider the different generations they played in. Fisher played better than everyone in his time - with no access to computers. Today, you can set up and study an opponents' game in a few minutes. It takes that amount of time to assemble the pieces on the board in those days. You can play with a computer (which is even better than a world champion) and improve your game. Fisher did not have those resources. There is definitely some truth to the Russia v Fisher. Given these headwinds, Fisher v Magnus, is not simply an apples to apples comparison.

Guys, you need to understand that when u are the best by far at something and u can prove it, saying that u are is simply the truth, saying otherwise would just have been pretends.

That's why when he won the world chess championship he made things difficult for the Russians to gain back the title from him same as breaking the Russian ego.Fischer hated them so much that he destroyed their best players in the candidate tournament and later grabbed the title and vanished from public chessplay
He had nothing else going for him in his life. Lack of family and close friends, no ability to emotionally connect with others (possibly Asperger's?), no real experience with women, a very suspicious and angry person inside. I think he had to overcompensate the lack of confidence he had in anything else by this one area that he really dominated and where he felt comfortable and at home. He makes quite a sad impression on me with all his boasting, actually. I can't help think of who he would later become and how all that ties into his younger version.
This is all fake. Bobby had close friends at the time like Larry Evans, Will Lombardy and a guy which name I can't remember but he stayed at his home for a while.

If he'd had more modesty, Fischer might not have been burned out before he was 30. Every other world champion summoned the ability to defend the title at least once, and some played into advanced age, just for the love of the game. Carlsen is the only other one who couldn't take the pressure even before he was beaten, but he at least defended it 4 times before he reached that point.
