    For those confused when he said, "I dont feel like i played enough chess" he was referring to playing more GAMES, SIMULS, PROVIDING INSTRUCTION, etc. That is very different from locking yourself in your room and going over master games, variation or studying. I think he just wanted to share the game with others more. He liked being alone but us humans are social animals. Everyone needs love.

      That's actually normal if you play and analyse a lot of chess OTB, especially back in the pre-computer days. The Karpov-Kasparov Lyon 1990 televised analysis also features Kasparov doing that stuff, also for pawns on opposing sides e.g. cxd4 exd4, just remove the c and e pawns. Rook captures typically involve removing the rooks facing a particular square e.g. for Rxd8 Rxd8, just leave the d8 piece and have the capturing rooks evacuate the board. Tons of 'premove' shortcuts like that.

    • @PygmalionFaciebat
      @PygmalionFaciebat 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There is no way to remove the c-pawn. Queen and knight are guarding the d-pawn. The reason why Fischer took away the c-pawn as far i understand was: to present a theory (which neither you or i know , because we would need the context of that particular game), to say: he would have checkmated the guy if there wasnt a c-pawn there.

  • @iglooproductions

    My favorite player, his greatest contribution IMO was discovering Fischer Random (Chess960). Why only play the classical position (#580 in the list)? Play all the available positions and have allot more fun, and not have to remember opening theory (unless you want to develop it for all those positions). Brilliant. I've been playing strictly Chess960 for a couple years now.

    • @iglooproductions
      @iglooproductions 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      E.S. Slc It's more fun because you are thinking from move 1, and it requires NO memorization, as there is no opening theory (except for position #580 which is the classical position). I've been playing strictly 960 for almost 3 years and I'd never go back to playing just the classical position. A good site to play 960 is lichess.

      @iglooproductions 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      E.S. Slc Yes I play live 960 on chess.com too, but I find on lichess.org it's way faster to get a game. About the starting position; as you know online this is just randomly chosen. I've never played 960 in real life but it's also randomly chosen in tournaments, or casually you can just agree on a position. That's part of the fun of it I guess.

      We know the 'facts' yes Fischer left the chess world and isolated himself to play against himself. He did not even bother to think about 'defending' the title against Karpov, and instead made great conditions such as a bottle of fresh baby blood so that the showdown will not go its course. That's who fischer was, until later in 1992 he realized he needed money to live, and insisted he was the legitimate world champion and not kasparov.

      I realize of course that you wrote ''at the chessboard'' in regard to Fischer's ''sportsmanship'', but in fairness, his blatant gamesmanship during the 1972 World Chess Championship during which he walked right past Spassky (without acknowledging Spassky) when Fischer first arrived at the playing auditorium in Iceland, failed to show up for Game#2, demanded that the rest of the games in the match be played in the back room away from the audience and TV cameras, demanded that the TV cameras be turned off during the match, etc., was deplorable and very unsportsmanlike.

      ***** It really is, in the future when computers get way better, they'll be able to tell the best chess move, maybe e4 , e4 ,Nf3 , or c4 , everyone will start playing it, and eventually the draw percentage of game will go up way much making chess so boring. The only thing chess will need then is a good memory to memorize the computers lines, just like theory, where now 20 moves are already made up. Just makes the game more fun if it was in the 1900's when computers didn't exist and it would all be hard work to become a great chess player. That's why there's so many of these kid prodigies because of computers if computers didn't exist I expect to see atleast half of them won't be able to get their success in atleast an extra few years.

      Nothing lasts forever. Chess is actually a poor game from an international hyper competitive standpoint. It's a world championship between two genetic freaks of nature and the result is usually totally predictable. The same is true in Boxing, but Boxing at least has action and excitement for the viewers...compared to a 4 hour chess match. It really ought to have remained a sporadic pastime between gentlemen. It was twisted into a sport in the 20th century but it was never comfortable there.

    Where did it go so badly wrong for Bobby Fischer ? Ahead of his time ? Possibly, I doubt if many of todays top Grandmasters could compete with the Fischer of 1972. Who could have beaten him ? Kasparov circa 1990 would have been capable. Beyond that, the strongest programs like Deep Blue, Stockfish and Alpha Zero, would probably been strong enough. Since they must surely be able to think faster and further than Fischer ?
