    Now I understand how Bobby Fischer played so well in his career. Not many people know this but he had an older brother who helped him throughout his chess journey. His name was Stock Fischer.

      @@verasinha7863 Ok did he think the 13 year old would make a mistake and he'll beat him. I'd say he thought Bobby would miss play before he got to the mate. You don't want to lose. You don't want to lose to a so called child. Of course no one knew this was The Bobby Fischer at 13 who'd becoming probably the great chess player in history. If Bobby wasn't there were few in front of him. When you ask all the chess masters of today if they could play anyone in chess history. Who would it be. Hands down most say Bobby Fischer. He was a master at getting you to move the pieces he wanted you to move. If Fischer moved a piece and it looked like he was giving it to you and you took it you probably lost. Fischer gave pieces for a reason. He wanted you take that seemly blunder. Fischer did make mistakes. But they were few a far between. Between 1967-1972 I don't think anyone ever played better chess. He crushed everyone. He didn't just win. He crushed people. Winning 20 games in a row against GMs. I don't care who your playing. If you win 20 in a row against the people Bobby played it was impossible yet he did it. They should have been able to play to a draw somewhere along the line.

    One of Byrne's chess students related later why he played on:
    "First of all, you have to remember that in 1956 no one knew that Bobby Fischer was going to become Bobby Fischer! He was just a very promising 13-year-old kid who played a great game against me. When it got to the position where I was lost, I asked some of the other competitors if it might be a nice thing to let the kid mate me, as a kind of tribute to the fine game he played. They said, 'Sure, why not?' and so I did."

    As an older guy just getting interested in Chess, you move a bit fast for me but I've found myself going down a rabbit hole of your videos because of your capability for entertainment and being straight forward with what you're talking about. I can always pick up the pieces with a quick google or watch elsewhere, but when it comes to pacing I actually think you're the top notch for a learning player. It doesn't take too long, it's never boring, and it's always a bit of challenge. I guess that makes it fun.

    Our cat died today, so I am just trying to get my mind off his death watching some YT vids, I cried a lot today.
    He came at our home somewhere in the beginning of this year.. My sister brought him in and named him 'Casper' after a few days. We had a lot of fun together, he would often get in my blanket for warmth, would come over to our door everyday at 4-6 AM and my mother would open up to invite him in and provide him warm milk which he would happily drink.
    Today, I carried his dead body to his final resting place...

    Levy is right about the importance of a confidence boost you get when beating a stronger player.

I'm not scared to play say a 1500 rated player anymore because I know I can beat them. I'm more confident to make bold moves when before I'd try to play it safe.

    As friend of one of Donald Byrne's sons, I would like to mention a few things. Firstly the family name is pronounced "burn". Second, it is indeed true that Donald allowed Bobby to finish the game because his play was so brilliant. Bobby and Donald played together on the U.S. Chess team during the cold war and were friends until Donald's untimely death due to complications from Lupus in 1976.

    Glad you decided to cover this game. I first watched it nearly a decade ago when I was just getting into chess and it always stuck with me :)
    After 17...Be6, I was wondering if 18. Qxc3 would've been better than what Byrne played. After plugging the position into the lichess engine, it seems it IS the best move. That said, the position after 18. Qxc3 is still -8.5, despite black being up 5 points of material (1 bishop and 2 pawns) in this variation.

    It was reported that Donald Byrne, in a sporting gesture, said to his colleague who was observing the game: will I let the boy mate me? His friend apparently agreed that he should. Afterwards, Donald also said to his friend “We must keep an eye on this boy”. I, like so many others around the world was enthralled to follow the drama in 1972 when Fisher played Spassky.
