I noticed that Fischer oftens gives up a bishop and a knight for the opponent's 2 knights. He leaves them with the bishop pair but makes sure that on of the bishop is blocked by pawns everywhere.
I'm an American who studied chess for decades beginning with the Fischer phenomenon but played only a little in the 90s on the internet. I haven't studied for a couple of decades, but came back to view some videos on TH-cam. I can still understand a surprising amount and can follow your videos and enjoy them greatly. Well done.
Fisher's genius is reflected in his ability to find brilliant journeys even in abstract positions and not only in complex positions when there are many tools on the board .. Amazing
NOT TRUE! Fischer against The weakest chess world champion Ever Boris Spassky 17 wins 11 losses! This game=13:b4!?? 16:. Queen b8???? 17:rook b1!? ( d5!) c5???( h6!!) 23:. Rook ed8??? (axb5!) 24:Queen c1?? ( Better bxa6!) Queen c3??? 25: Knight f3?! 26: Bishop b3???? Rook d7??. better c4! One of The weakest chess games Ever! Spassky played under 2000 elo rating!!!!!!
Really historic the most dominating performance by a GM in modern chess history. And money was not his goal as he turned down millions in endorsements. His entire life people used RJF and he trusted virtually no one. It was exciting while it lasted. Bobby is chess and TH-cam gold!
I meant from the Candidates on it was unmatched. Impressive wise there are many matches in history that have been as exciting and more so. No one has dominated like Fischer did for that year or so.
I really like how you do your research with all your facts before, during and after these classic games. Well done! I've subscribed to your channel, I really like your content!
Amazing how that pawns play in the middle game controlled the result in the end. With all preparations from Fischer, Spaksy still pushing that C pawn started it all.
Expanding vast knowledge: That expansion of waters for Icelandic fishing almost started a war with England. America and the rest of NATO (they are both NATO countries) stepped in to prevent it and Iceland managed to keep most of the expanded territory.
Bobby was a simple genius. Look at the simplicity of his moves,cover the most area. Nothing crazy. Almost every game his knights,bishops are in the optimal places at all times.
Fischer was a machine in the Ruy Lopez. Very rarely does he get in trouble with the White pieces in the Ruy Lopez, something the Soviets knew, especially Petrosian. As he said, any move after 1. e4 vs Bobby was viable except for 1. ...e5.
hi agadmator on 8:43 you said rook A8 to D1 is not great but its the best move by the engine , and as you analysed it , when lets say white blays Q to C1 then black does not have to double attack the knight first but play the move A takes on B5 , then after rook takes on D5 then Q to a6 protecting the bishop and also attacking the rook and the pawn , no way white can defend the pawn and the rook so he has to move the rook , if white tries to defend the rook by plying like rook B6 attacking queen then queen takes on A5, white plays rook takes bishop on b7 , then black has double attack on the knight on D2 and queen can take it , and the material i equal and white is up a pawn . so lets go back after black played rook D1 white has to play first has to play C5 takes on A6 and black takes back with the bishop , then white can play queen to C1 , but black can double attack knight by plying queen to c3 , and white moves the knight then black captures back that pawn on A5 , in any way white will not be up a pawn , in fact , black will have passed pawn . i have analysed that variation with the engine , and white is not better in that position , any way i like your vidios an am not new subscriber , i was here when you had like 100k , i enjoy your content , when i see fitcher games i espicially in this series , i watch the vidio as i put the moves in to the engine , no surprise that most bobby fitcher moves are engine moves , this guy is true genius the only reason why spassky lost was , not playing ROOK A8 to D8 but he played ROOK E8 to D8
#suggestion , Mamedyarov - Ben Finegold, 2017 , i remember when was the incident with St.Louis, Ben show his support to you, so it will be a good way to thank him now by showing his best game, also the game itself has tactical sacrifices and is interesting. Thanks
I don't quite understand. Who knew more about who? You pointed out that Spassky had intelligence about Fischer's play in a position in one of the early games that he failed to make use of. This could have been because Spassky was being lazy or he had more confidence in his over the board play. Was it easier for Fischer to study the Russians, because they played in front of the whole world, or had the Russians been watching Fischer every since he was 14 and knew more?
It is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.
Despite your preemptively defensive and somewhat overly dramatic username, I will ask you what is your claim to fame? How many movies and books have been written about you?
yeah he sometimes was kind of a drama queen but it was all part of his psychological games, also he had problems with the cameras because he had Autism Spectrum Disorder
Hi, thanks for the commentary we enjoy a lot, my question is why Spasky hasen't played Bd4, while Fischer has played the brilliant Rb5, knowing there is some threats in the 8, 7 and 6th range with the rooks who me placed in the e & b files. Thanks
Where is the tipping point in the game? What was the move that Spassky missed, or did wrong? or it was just Fischer brillancy? i.e. not matter what Spassky played, he'd have lost regardless.
imho when you play the Breyer you need to find counter play in the queenside or open up the center and make smthg out of your light square bishop. In this game Fisher dominated the center (which is normal in the Ruy Lopez for white anw) and closed the queenside. Spassky was left in a very passive position that can be hold only by a computer but is humanly lost at the super GM lvl. my 2 cents
Tubax Why do you think your opinion is superior to warnoah? According to Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-move_advantage_in_chess , white has a 52 - 56% statistical advantage according to games recorded since 1851. What are the sources of information to support your claim?
Rd1+ forces the black king away from the d file, so his bishop will be lost, and his only reply to that would be to capture the f pawn with check, and that's still completely losing.
At 13:47, had Fischer played Rb6, that would pin the Bishop, while the other rook cuts the king from defending it, and if Spassky would play Rd1 to defend it, he could simply capture the B pawn. What you think of this play?
A rich brit actually boosted the prize fund significantly with his own money to entice fisher to come play the game, so they were always safe on that front as they didn't actually pay most of it
I was wondering the same thing at first, but I guess after Qxc1 comes Rxc1 then Rxd2 and xa6 will be a simultaneous attack on the bishop on b7 by the pawn and on the rook on e8 by the bishop on a4. So if you move the rook pawn simply wins back the piece while becoming a very dangerous past pawn on b7 while at the same time blacks own past pawn will be attacked due to Rxc1 earlier
if you go bishop to d6 you just take it with the rook. Blacks Queen or rook must take it cause you are just down the piece and that removes one of the defenders of the f7 pawn. The rest you know.
10:26 I would definitely push the move c4, feel so proud of myself afterward for have spotted and successfully thwarted the attempt by Fischer on f7, perhaps grab myself some beer, call my gf over, knowing the Grand Master would spend a good 20 minutes regretting his futile attack + another 20 minutes planning the next move.
Light square bishop is best friend of Lautier and Spassky Lautier vs Anand whole game was about Lautier's trapped light square bishop Spassky vs Fischer game 10 of world chess championship whole game was about Spassky's undefended light square bishop
Tan116A It depends on perspective and narration style. Some top narrators like Agadamator treat the audience like individials to give a more intimate style and make each viewer believe they are connected personally. This may not be deliberate but just his natural style. Others broadcast to "the masses" and you can clearly see the difference in those styles. If Agadamator was talking to one person or 10,000 it would make hardly any difference to the delivery expect for the occasional reference to "some of you". In effect he is speaking to lots of individuals rather than a mass of chess fans. I think he is a very intelligent man and a good speaker. His vocabulary may not be in the top 90% but he is way better than the majority of English speakers. In my opinion he is the best chess commentator and analyst online although I have only watched about 10.
Dilmurod Qodirov Good question ... perhaps because the rook on e4 could get to e6 (the point of the bishop being there in the first place is to blockade the rooks)? Re6 would threaten mate in 3 after all, which would have to be defended by Rd7, losing the c-pawn for black.
I was thinking Bd4 myself. I think that rook getting to e6 could be decisive, though. Two rooks mating threats on top of a passed pawn would be very hard to deal with.
3:45
Fischer knew well that Spassky would go for this, as Spassky knew that Fischer knew that he was going to go for that.
I knew you were going to say that.
So what
But Fischer didn’t know that Spassky knew that Fischer knew that Spassky would go for it.
Spassky didn’t know that Fischer didn’t know that Spassky knew that Fischer would know that Spassky would go for this.
Poor analysis as always Queen b8???, Rook c8! or h6! Much better!!
From 3:46 - 3:54, Antonio just goes into 'Phoebe' mode "They don't know that we know that they know we know" 😂😂😂
As soon as I heard that, I felt like singing the chorus of the old Kursaal Flyers song "Little does she know"
th-cam.com/video/5ZnQQF7ucdM/w-d-xo.html
And Joey, you can't say anything!
@@martinprieto9713 couldn’t if I wanted to.

Shut the hell up
I noticed that Fischer oftens gives up a bishop and a knight for the opponent's 2 knights. He leaves them with the bishop pair but makes sure that on of the bishop is blocked by pawns everywhere.
Fischer knew he could neutralize the full value of the 2 bishops with his positioning
Having either pair of bishops or knights is usually always better than one of each! Especially if you can nullify one of the bishops
😂. Man nerfed them into pawns before making the exchange
I wish Spassky had put up more of a fight. Unfortunately Fischer’s whims took a psychological toll on Spassky.
Fisher always liked to play chess and breathe air
Shut the hell
Up

"Chess is war over the board. The object is to crush your opponent's mind" and at this moment in time, Fischer is really crushing everyone's minds
Yes, this was said at the time as well.
Shit the hell up
You don’t even know how pawns move loser
Interesting how you manage to involve the The Cod Wars (Iceland vs Britain War for fishing water expansion) in a chess match.
Fisher's genius is reflected in his ability to find brilliant journeys even in abstract positions and not only in complex positions when there are many tools on the board .. Amazing
Do you even know what abstract means?

Oh really magnus
He ate a lot of salty harrings and drank even more water, sounds like a recipe for some intense electrolytes and bad breath to throw off your opponent
Really historic the most dominating performance by a GM in modern chess history. And money was not his goal as he turned down millions in endorsements. His entire life people used RJF and he trusted virtually no one. It was exciting while it lasted. Bobby is chess and TH-cam gold!
I'd say Karpov-kasparov (when he played his Kasparov gambit) was more impressive to me.
I meant from the Candidates on it was unmatched. Impressive wise there are many matches in history that have been as exciting and more so. No one has dominated like Fischer did for that year or so.
Oh yeah sure i agree. For some reason i thought you were only playing about this game.
I wish Spassky had put up more of a fight. Unfortunately Fischer’s whims took a psychological toll on Spassky.
Brilliancies galore by Bobby Fischer!
big fan of agadmator from philipppines!
hey same
Great chess players in the Philippines too...the taxi drivers in Baguio's Burnham Park are tough customers.
Thank you for the anecdotes. They give an amazing human background to the game.
"This game seems to revolve around the unprotected bishop on b7"
Much like the AlphaZero v Stockfish games?
no inaccuracy . or mistake have been made by bobby , what a genius
...and all hell brakes loose... made my late afternoon. :) All the best from the swiss mountains!
6:32 and 9:49 . I found these two moves from Fischer very impressive
11:27 'the rook is rook b to d1'
We need a compilation of agadmator's derp moments!
Nitpicking for flaws. What is your point. Can't you just enjoy his superior chess commentary and analysis?
#suggestion make a compilation of your derp moment xd
"Rook 8 to d8 is not that gr8"
@after you you regr8 it? You 8 something?
James made organisers go out for "fishing"
Viswanathan Sethuraman haha
I love this guy. He’s very prepared and a really nice guy
Always a pleasure to see you in my notifications
Not a tree hugger myself, but it was sort of sad to hear about the water
"not polluted. yet"
Woww I didn't expect such an early upload!! Thanks, agad!! Much love from Malaysia
Wow. Fischer played like an engine.
For Fischer, the money was a measurement of respect for all his hard work.
I really like how you do your research with all your facts before, during and after these classic games. Well done! I've subscribed to your channel, I really like your content!

Capture,Capture. Now my day is complete.
nice games as always antonio!

Ahhh I was waiting for this one
Love this series!!
Fisher with white so far is 4-1, with the 1 being by forfeit. Incredible
James Knapp Game 4 was a draw, so 3.5 to 1.5 in the games where he played White
Love this series!! ❤❤❤❤
Spassky blundering a pawn away so soon after the resumption just seems lazy. Had he already given up?
Thank you my man. ....good game.......

Bobby knew enough about money that he knew more was better.
Trying to understand @16:58 what's wrong with Rf7 for black I assume sacrificing white rook for bishop and pushing g5 is still winning.
Rd1+ forces the black king away from the d file, so his bishop will be lost, and his only reply to that would be to capture the f pawn with check, and that's still completely losing.
Big heart from Kurdistan 💙💙🌻🌻
At 15:27, black can go for Bd4 protecting both the pawns?
Excellent commentary
Fischer is too good in the middle game--Spassky always seems to be on his heels.
Queen b8?? by Spassky! Better ones h6! or Rook c8!
#suggestion Sibilio vs Mariotti - shortest ever stalemate in a competitive game
Who do you think is better karpov 78’ or Fischer 75’ ?

@@George-uv3ie oh, I didn't realize it.
A rich brit actually boosted the prize fund significantly with his own money to entice fisher to come play the game, so they were always safe on that front as they didn't actually pay most of it
7:29 Does Qc7 defending both minor pieces not work?
Don't see the move number so, at exactly @12:00 why douldn't queen to f5 work?
Game 8 was recorded but.. where is the recording? Can't find it on YT.
..
At 9:00 what would happen if Qxc1 instead of Qxd2
I was wondering the same thing at first, but I guess after Qxc1 comes Rxc1 then Rxd2 and xa6 will be a simultaneous attack on the bishop on b7 by the pawn and on the rook on e8 by the bishop on a4. So if you move the rook pawn simply wins back the piece while becoming a very dangerous past pawn on b7 while at the same time blacks own past pawn will be attacked due to Rxc1 earlier
why worst july for 17 years? what was 17 years earlier? didnt find anything regarding this topic
Do Rubinstein vs. Nimzowitsch, Marienbad 1925 they have 4 fianchettoed bishops if it was interesting
hi agad nice job keep going man . can you do a vedio on the game played between sherlock holms vs moriati 😂 it'll be amazing
Bobby bobby bobby
minute 11:35 : why Spassky didnt defend with bishop to d6 or even rook to d8. I am wondering why it doesnt work
if you go bishop to d6 you just take it with the rook. Blacks Queen or rook must take it cause you are just down the piece and that removes one of the defenders of the f7 pawn. The rest you know.
Are you going to conclude with Fischer vs Spassky (1992)? #suggestion
He doesn't read comments unless you flag with #suggestion. His videos are now watched by 10's of thousands of viewers.
Does Red1 work?? Because that's what I found.
really fun game :)
10:26 I would definitely push the move c4, feel so proud of myself afterward for have spotted and successfully thwarted the attempt by Fischer on f7, perhaps grab myself some beer, call my gf over, knowing the Grand Master would spend a good 20 minutes regretting his futile attack + another 20 minutes planning the next move.
oh same!
why not 15:16 Bc3, defending the pawn on b4?
finally a bloody game
15:22 ı’m sorry what about bishop to d4? That seems to save the pawn.
15:25 why doesn't Bd4 work?
You get two roocks on the 7th rank and mostlikely get mated.

On move 46 why not Bishop to c4 protecting the pawn, and not all rook on e4 to take on b4
Love the game
11:34
What if nxe7 then if rxe7 then qxc7 and you can't use rxc7 because your rook is pinned
3:45
