@@tominmo8865 I tell other players that I have beaten a certain local grandmaster twice. I don't bother to mention that he was five years old at the time.
My father bought me Fischers 60 when I was 15 or 16 years old after Fischer became WC. My very first chess book! I studied every page and wore the book apart, broke the books spine, pages falling out, etc. Prior to that, playing at age 5 I only had our encyclopedia with the main line Ruy with variations to about the 20th move. I cried at age five after losing to my father who snickered at me. I memorized all of the Ruy in the encyclopedia and with a really pissed determination I told him "You will NEVER beat me again! He died in 2008 at the age of 86. He never did. After ripping him with the Ruy 3 games in a row, he finally conceded that I was a much better player. I asked him hundreds of times to play chess with me over several decades and he would say "Youre too good!" His 2 chess buddies felt my wrath too. Now in my 60th year of The Game Of Kings, I REALLY APPRECIATE THESE FISCHER VIDEOS! THANKS DAWG!!
@@DaleLeisenring To think that Fischer had to learn Russian to get the latest theory, relying on actual books and bulletins, all before the internet. The younger generations of players don't realise the vast volumes of chess knowledge and theory that are immediately available to them via their smartphones/devices. My condolences regarding your father's passing. *Some people cast a long shadow via an almost tangible void of memories and love*
@@fanciticklerI’m a chess fanatic but hated to play against my father in any competition. Just don’t think it’s right for a son to beat his father. In chess I would always let my father win. Maybe I’m too soft but that’s just me.
@@luatala8008 I agree with you 100%. I lay the blame on the tournament organisers. You'd think that they would have some scruples or reservations of family members playing against each other. Very unpleasant situation to force family into doing. FIDE could of course put some recommendations or preferred practices to eliminate that, but that would be common sense.
Wolfgang Unzicker's son, Alexander, is an interesting physicist -- anti-LHC for one thing. Anyway, one of the very few I admire. Thanks for another great video, CD.
6:55 -- actually it was March the same year (1962). Whereas *THIS* game here is from October 1962. So it's really just a *~~half-year difference.* :) .
I've wanted to make a suggestion for your channel, because I love your videos. I try to click 'like' early in your videos, but sometimes forget, as my habit is to watch a video, and then click 'like' at the ned of the video. But when your content ends, immediately, the video ends. That makes common sense, but I think most people wait until a video completes, before they click 'like'. So most videos leave a little time at the end for that purpose. Your video content is outstanding. I literally take the time to pick back in, and go thru a commercial just to make sure I click 'like' for you and the algorithms. I just want to see your channel be rewarded justly. Best wishes, and continued success.
The greatest exponent of this type of strategy is none other than Magnus Carlsen. Perhaps Capablanca also. I noticed post this game Fischer would always play B-K2 instead of B-K3 after White knight is kicked from Q5 square.
Hi chess fans. These elite masters puts me to shame. Another universe. I wish to recommend to John (and others) to watch "The Most Dangerous Match" episode of "Columbo". Ficticious chess rivalry, entertaining.
Fischer had built up an incremental lead, but white's only real mistake was 24. g3, which Fischer punished with the absolute best move Qa7. That gave him a >+2 advantage in the position.
He started his clock against Fischer :^) Chessdawg made a great point which is why I don't criticize hose who lost to Fischer: even an Elite Player will have have problems with a Super Elite Player and, at one time i'd have given up just about anything to be an Elite Player. Humbling..
Fischer hardly made mistakes. He was only 19 here in 1962. Fischer would squeeze any tiny advantage out of the position and wait for his opponent to crumble under pressure
Excellent video. I have one correction though - Seigen Olympiad was in 1970, not 1962. Varna was 1962.
Yes, you are correct.
Best strategies against Fischer: 1. Offer a Draw on move one. 2. Prayer. 😂
The latter would certainly not work.
The former would also not work. Fischer would laugh at your draw offer and say "You're kidding, right?" He has already beaten you psychologically.
Good assessment of Fischer. He was the Greatest.
3. Avoid him altogether, then brag that he has never beaten you.

ChessDawg Posts, I watch. It’s as simple as that 👾

what a profound, but "simple" game. every move by fischer is logical and 'just in time.' well explained by ChessDawg. VERY interesting. Thanks!

Thanks very much. I have followed your vids for a while. This was a brilliant game excellently presented.

Thank you, Chessdawg. I like your videos. 😊
Yeah, Bobby's heavy pieces drove white nuts in this.
Uniziker, "I got nowhere to move; it's like playing Joy Behar in Twister."
Or Donald Trump, can you imagine that?🤣💙💙
I'm not sure I get it
@@zazenwind She's an obnoxious, oafish broad on "The View" who would take up half the board after her fist move, 'left hand blue'.
Great analysis - thanks for sharing!

Bobby is evidence that being self-taught is highly beneficial. People who are not geniuses should learn from his industrious example.
BTW, Bobby had an IQ of 190!
Could we get some Korchnoi games, particularly some of his victories in the Winawer French?
I love the Fischer games, please also do an Alekhine series
always love watching a Fischer game.
I feel bad for Unzicker, he got paired up with a lot of monsters

Chessdawggg!!
"Luft" is German for "Air" and is pronounced "looft" with the oo spoken like in "loop". ❤ Great vid!
In days of olde when knights were bold and toilet paper wasn’t invented, man wiped his a*s on a tuft of grass and walked away contented!
A Zwischenzug or Zugzwang anyone? Every time I hear luft in my mind I hear Nena singing 99 luftballoons!

For my first 3 moves, I'm as good as Fischer!
WHY had a few moves that shoulda not been made...
Not at those times with the board set as it was...
The Chuck Norris of chess.
What is the name of your dog in your profile pic?

What was exactly white's mistake for things to go so horribly wrong?
Fischer had built up an incremental lead, but white's only real mistake was 24. g3, which Fischer punished with the absolute best move Qa7. That gave him a >+2 advantage in the position.
He started his clock against Fischer :^)

There was no big mistake. A game against Fischer is like playing with stockfish. A small inaccuracy is enough to lose.
Fischer hardly made mistakes. He was only 19 here in 1962. Fischer would squeeze any tiny advantage out of the position and wait for his opponent to crumble under pressure
