Bobby Fischer's OUTRAGEOUS Move Left Chess World SPEECHLESS!

- When Bobby Fischer played this CRAZY opening that was supposed to be losing, the entire chess world was in a state of utter shock! But Bobby had been secretly developing a new variation that he would unleash on his unfortunate opponent GM Svetozar Gligoric in this epic and historical game!
I love the background history of the game as opposed to an analysis of the single game. The story from 1955 preceding the Bobby Fischer game added depth to the story and made it way more interesting than just a single game. Great video!
Thanks! I love this pre-engine era when opening theory was only a theory!
Myself as well!
Without the history it's a pretty disappointing story. "Let me tell you an amazing line that often loses but one time ended in a draw..."
Alexander Pasterniak beautifully described the story about that game Gligoric-Fischer 1958 in his Book "Chess phenomenon Bobby Fischer".
When every gm analysed it as a losing position and a 13 year old kid made it a wining position. Nah It's not a disappointing story your life is @@joshuafurr6084
This guy is the best blind chess commentator on youtube.
Thanks ha ha! I am capable of blindfold chess but I am slow and it hurts my brain!
This guy once played Ray Charles and won because he was the only one able to see five moves ahead..
He does it brilliantly.
So he plays on a braille board? 🤔...asking for my blind seeing eye dog
Damn how does he read the comments??
One of the best videos I've seen lately.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
In 4th grade i won the school Chess championship then played vs the Jr high school next to us and won their Championship,.....they gave me a Trophy n Certificate stating " The Next Bobby Fischer ",.........i never forgotten that and then i studied the Man and was never the same,.........Love the Game,...!
I'm Batman.
The next Bobby Fischer huh 😂
Has Las Maletas, Te Vas A Casa
The historical reference games added so much to this. Very well done and I am happy to be the 1,000th like for this video. Great job!
Awesome! Thanks so much!
How am I just now discovering this channel? Subscribed.
I appreciate it!
Ditto. & Ditto. Stirling analysis. Stable. Steady, without embellishment. Captivates the audience. Well received.
I swear.. I may have to shake the grey dust out of my ears... I do absolutely LOVE the history... I never paid much attention this far back.. Thanks!!!!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
Eggman, that was great. The background history tied to that move was phenomenal for this video.
I vote this to be the best Chess historical story and games analysis. Any GM's would be very entertained by this if they don't already know it.
Wow thanks! and Eggman is great ha ha ha -- good song too!
Love his articulate way of spinning the historical web. Fantastic video. The next big chess stream star.
Wow thanks!
Wow, you really did some good prep for this! Thx.
Paul Keres was not Russian. Keres was born and raised in Estonia 🇪🇪. Estonia was invaded by the Soviets Russians at the beginning of WWII by Stalin.
Thanks for the clarification -- when researching this story all my sources just referred to the 3 players as Russians.
I came here to say that 🇪🇪 Eesti vabariik!
You are wrong because you see the past with the eyes of the present.
Keres was born in Parnu, a village belonging to the Saint Petersburg Oblast.
Besides, the Soviet Union was a Political System established on the territory of Russia.
The Czar was called the Emperor of All the Russias for Russia was not the name of the present day Russian Federation but of the whole country.
Your mistake is typical of people with a bias and scarce knowledge of the historic reality.
@@squareonechess6939:
You are right, please read my reply above.
@@hanswust6972 It is you quo are cherry picking time periods. Estonia has been ruled by almost every other power in Europe throughout history. Yet always they have kept their own identity. Calling them Russian is both ignorant and wrong
Your historic presentation, clarity, and train of thought,-----is what this game needs, like a light house, that points the ships out of the swamp. :)
Breath of fresh air to me sir. Kudos.
Absolutely brilliant commentary!! SUBSCRIBED!!!!!😇
Great video.. well done....,not so easy to articulate,let alone flawlessly weave in the narrative..,and showing alternate moves ,and the logic behind them..and not to mention very entertaining, cheers thanks for the video
Great One Sir, Very Interesting !
Thankyou
Jim

Thanks for watching and the comment!
Love the history behind this game, well researched
Very cool.. I had no idea about the history of this. Nicely done!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed! Makes me feel nostalgic for the days when opening theory was actually just theory!
Great video and amazing opening theory. The lines from g5 are even difficult for engines to sort out!
Yeah fascinating stuff -- there is actually a g5 line that you can play a little later that is much better for black -- are you familiar?
@@squareonechess6939 Nope. I've barely played the Sicilian and haven't seen a lot of high level games with it. I get in trouble when facing against it with the White pieces! I started out playing the Polish and now have been trying the English.
Leave it to Bobby, the GOAT. The Gothenburg line, rising from the ashes like the Phoenix. I dig the shades man; there are those that don't understand it's your brand, or are just jealous. Great commentary and analysis!
Thanks! And glad you enjoyed!
Excellent analysis and historical background. Thank you !
Your welcome, thanks for watching!
Whilst I had read about the 3 game loss, when this line got played on me, I failed to stop a nice knight on e5 and lost.
This is a really nice video.
Keep pumping those Fischer games out bro
very well crafted, well researched video. I think that this is as informative as it should be. 2-thumbs up. do some more, sir! :)
Will do! Thank you!
I am certain we could have done all this without sunglasses
You speak truth
Well researched, interesting video
I appreciate you watching and commenting!
Very interesting. Especially the story around this match!!! I enjoyed every second !!! Tanks a lot !!!
Your welcome! Thanks for watching!
Fascinating story!
I agree - thanks for watching!
your narrative is off the charts talented. Pleasure!!!
Thanks! Always appreciate your kind words and glad you are enjoying!
In spite being blind, your analysis is the best. Even youtubers with eye sight are no match for you!
Ha ha ha! Ever tried playing blindfold?
@@squareonechess6939 Thanks for playful reply. I was in doubt if you would like the comment or get offended. I once tried blind chess for 3 moves then resigned.
Blind? I thought he was just stylish.
@@loloflores123 LOL, of course, his not blind and that's why this is so funny. Glad channel owner got the joke 🙂
So informative analysis ❤😊
Glad you got something out of it!
THIS IS THE GREATEST CHESS VIDEO OF ALL TIMES! 🎉🎉
Thanks!
Your show is great. You also remind me of the blind man from curb your enthusiasm
lol I have never actually watched that but now I gotta go see who you are talking about!
@@squareonechess6939 please do
Interesting lesson inthe history of chess...!
Yeah one of my favorite chess stories!
@@squareonechess6939 do more of these
I love that picture. Is that Tal in the middle row on the far left? I think that's Tigran Petrosian in the front row second to last on the left as well. Is that Paul Keres next to him? Is that Gligoric in the middle of the second row with the white collars? Of course that's young Bobby on the far right in front. I don't recognize the rest of these guys.
This video reminded me of a beautiful game between Mikhail Tal and his coach Alexander Koblents that studies some Najdorf ideas:
Mikhail Tal vs Alexander Koblents
Riga (1961), Riga LAT
Sicilian Defense: Najdorf Variation. Main Line (B99)
1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 6. Bg5 e6 7. f4 Be7 8. Qf3 Qc7 9. O-O-O Nbd7 10. Be2 h6 11. Bh4 b5 12. e5 Bb7 13. exf6 Bxf3 14. Bxf3 d5 15. Nxe6 fxe6 16. Bh5+ g6 17. Bxg6+ Kf8 18. fxe7+ Kg7 19. Bg3 Nf6 20. Rhe1 b4 21. Rxe6 bxc3 22. f5 Qb7 23. b3 Qd7 24. Be5 Qxe6 25. fxe6 Kxg6 26. Rf1 Nh7 27.Bxh8 Rxh8 28. Rf8 Rxf8 29. exf8=Q Nxf8 30. e7 Kf7 31. exf8=Q+ Kxf8 32. Kd1
1-0
Here we see the beauty of Tal's chess genius where he sacrifices his queen on move 13. Lovely game.
I'm pleased I found Rh7. I was considering Qe8 to trade queens but the 0-0+ comes too quickly.
Superb video. Subscribed!
Thanks for the comment! You could be right on the picture -- and I will check out that game -- I am looking for some good classics to cover to balance out all the Magnus material
Great videos, dude. Really enjoying your analysis.
Much appreciated!
The fact all three games were in the exact same position is one of the reasons Fischer eventually gave up chess. Individuality and risk taking was missing from this era of chess and it took the advent of chess computers to really shake things up
Yeah, all the theory is a bit annoying -- it would be cool to see Fischer Random gain more popularity
Thank you, nicely done. Very entertaining and interesting.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
Brilliantly done video.
Youdaman 🙌
Brilliant and enhancing analysis, I suscribe on the spot.
Awesome! Thank so much!
Gligoric's thinking, "This Kid"s got Ball's!"
Interesting story and very nice analysis👏. One point : at 14:27 Gligoric not Geller
Thanks!
This is great content! Well done!
Thank you!
Very slick analysis. Early Fischer is very interesting.
Thanks! These stories fascinate me!
I repeatedly played pawn to G5 in 1968 against other teen agers....it was called pawn to knight 5 back then.
Super analysis and excellent English! (I can distinguish this at once as I am German and have studied English for more than twenty years.)
Spasskey's mother, Ekaterina, was best friend with Bono Oswald, Maria's older sister. Spasskey was acquainted with Lee Harvey and frequently met with Billy Sol Estes regarding business manipulations and appearances (wealth vs. poverty). Spasskey's mother is said to have curred syphilis with a coffee-ground, sulphur and potato mix.
Wow
I really enjoyed the preamble you shared about the origin of this variation, and I decided to subscribe to the channel because of the expertise and wealth of details you demonstrated. However, allow me to offer a suggestion: please proceed with the sequence of moves a bit more slowly to give your followers time to grasp the positions on the fly, without having to pause or rewind every time. Thank you for your work.
Thanks very much for this . Interesting and informative
Thank you for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed!
11:18 nice editing there with the time-lapse outdoor shot!
Very,very nice and well explained....beautiful...
Thank you!
Great video. Thx!
Thanks for watching!
My next move for Fischer would be D6 pawn to D5, pressing my advantage up the middle. I am very proud to say I actually guess right on the moves. Bishop to B5 was a move where I really thought, "Wow, no way he will actually play that," then he did, sick😏
I always thought ....Na4 Fischer v Byrne was considered the greatest move in chess history, at least up until that point
Thank you for this story! Really interesting!
Thanks! I thought so too and have wanted to make a video about it for awhile!
Great history lesson 😊! Entertaining and educational both, Mr. Dark Sunglasses 🕶 😎
Great video! Excellent preparation
Thank you!
Repliers here must be so much fun at parties
I've forgotten what little chess I had but this history is fascinating!
Glad you enjoyed!
Nice history of the Argentinian tragedy, where the three argentinians lost the "mini match Argentina-USSR" with their home cooked variation. During the Geller game, Najdorf approached the table and whispered to Geller: " your game is lost, we had all this anayzed " . Then Geller uncorked B-b5!!, and looking at this, Najdorf ran back to his game. All three argentinian players were crushed.
Thanks to his top six finish in the interzonal, Bobby not only qualified for the Candidates, he became the youngest GM at the time.
By the way Geller was Ukrainian, and was considered to be one of the finest theoreticians of the openings.
Ukraine was part of the ussr back then, so Geller never thought of himself as Ukrainian, he was Odessan. And btw he was one of the few with a positive balance against Bobby Fisher.
Way over my head but so enjoyable to set up a board and figure things out 😊
I wear my sunglasses at night
C.H.
Me too! Are they prescription or plano?
after watching this video...I pressed the subscribe button automatically! lol
Excellent reporting
Thank you! Its my pleasure!
🎶I wear my sunglasses when analyzing the chessboard 🎶so I can, so I can 🎶ramble on for 20 minutes about a draw 🎶
Nice story, like story telling. Thanks
Beautiful history lesson love the video
Thanks!
Crazy you’re able to make this video and move the pieces while blind. Impressive.
Very interesting, and a great analysis.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
One very strong proof of who is the best in the history of chess. Only one is the GOAT and that is Bobby.
When it comes to sheer willpower and playing strength its hard to beat Bobby, but you gotta watch my next video which will make the case for a different player being the GOAT based on a different criteria!
@@squareonechess6939 For me, the criterion is Us Championship 1963/1964 11/11, candidate tournament Taimanov 6:0, Larsen 6:0, Petrosian 6:2 and the game of the century Donald Byrne vs Robert James Fischer 1956
still nice and I want to wish you a merrty christmas and happy new year 😊😊👍👍
i
For some reason this was on my 'recomended videos' ...I'm not a chess player, I know all the movies (who doesn't)....Anyway..I had to watch this and it's bloody fascinating!
Glad you enjoyed!
after studying this opening for few seconds Fisher immediately came up with engines top choice
its amazing how many of his moves are the top choice of stockfish
Best chess video ive ever seen
Instant sub. Great work
Thanks for watching and the sub!
Whats up with the glasses? We aren't playing Texas Hold 'em.
The backwards e pawn is as definitive as one needs to get.
Inspiring and informative video
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
I'm only here because I enjoy hearing the passion this guy has from chess. So nice!.
Awesome! Do you play?
Yes, I do.
Amazing video, story and analysis. Chess was more interesting before computers got this good.
I wholeheartedly agree!
Well done, my man.
Thanks!
Sir your explanation give new life to chess player
Thanks! glad you are enjoying!
You did good 👏
Thank you so much!
Great video story. I have a great Fischer story, as well, but it's a long story. Not as long as my
IM Igor Ivanov or my Kamran Shirazi story or my Roman D story or even my Walter Browne story or my FM Mark Duckworth
story or my GM Federovich story or my GM Dmitri Gurevich story or my GM Victor Korchnoi story. The Korchnoi story was my buddy's, actually as an 'A' player, was paired round 1 vs GM Korchnoi in the '83 US Open in Pasadena, CA. All one section and Brian Zavodnik was crushed by the GM. Only to find out the next day (1 rd per day format) GM Larry Christiansen entered day 2 with a bye for rd 1. Well, Brian was at that place in the draw, he played Larry in the 2nd rd. Those two losses possibly gained a rating point as Victor was 2700 Larry was 2600 or close to it
This level of chess completely loses me
This guy is a great story teller
Thank you!
Fascinating
Thanks!
In 1958 the averages wages in America was $4,450 and the average new home was $12,750. Let that sink in. 11:28
I keep messing up the DeLorean's configuration, and I've yet to get my hands on any uranium, but when I get it running, I'll offer you a ride.
That's even crazier than Bobby's g5 move!
Means nothing. Just proves the devils running the banking system create inflation by adding dollars into the currency through bank loans. They create money out of thin air.
What was the average wage?
See?
I am a Grand Master. Here are my opening moves.
I pick up one of the horses and drop it on the guy with the pointy hat. Then I take my castle thingy and drop it on the really tall one. And then I flick over the guy with the cross on his helmet and yell "Check, mate!" Three simple moves, and I win every time!
All you need now is a name for your opening!
I'm pretty stoked, I got the rook to H7. I did benefit from all of the analysis beforehand though.
Nice!
Good video, would be interesting to identify the guys in the photo, but his move wasn't 'OUTRAGEOUS' as the opening was well known due to the games you mentioned
Kinda outrageous that he played it though!
Bobby Fisher was brilliant from childhood until his death. Every position he ever took, whether on the chessboard or in life, was perfect. He was a chest, genius and a political genius and moral 2 genius
great job !
Thank you!
Nice. Enjoyed-- I’ll check out more.
Awesome! Thanks!
I love that your sunglasses are on a slant 😂 i do this with my glasses all the time just to annoy my wife
Yeah, apparently I''m not symmetrical -- maybe that's why I love chess!
@@squareonechess6939 I thought you were channeling Magnus when he visited the Botez sisters, played online blitz with Aryan Tari at his shoulder, refusing to utter a word while the sisters wigged out as they're wont to do.
@@jasonuerkvitz3756 😆
My man looks like he had Larry David and Richard Lewis move his furniture. Its uncanny.
A mix between speed dealer sunglasses and f**k knows what 😅
Very good!!
Thanks!
I'm shocked.
really shocked.
Nice, that is the goal!
@@squareonechess6939 I mean, what's the meaning of life if people can casually do this.. I couldn't sleep last night.
Keres wasn't Russian he was Estonian
Oh wow, I didn't realize, thanks for the correction!
@@squareonechess6939 "Soviet" would have been accurate though.
Najdorf was not Argentinian, was Polish, moved to Argentina
@@adazen3496 He became an Argentine citizen in 1944. Do you mean to say that immigrants are never ("really") Argentinians, or Americans, or Canadians, or...?
@@michaelkremer9120 I don't want to generalizen. one person-one story. learn Mr Najdorf story; we was born in my hometown BTW
I wish I knew why those moves are so fascinating
