The old footage and music put me back 50 years and my carefree life in the late 60s growing up in the Imperial Kingdom of Iran. I loved Bobby Fischer and his primitive badassery combined with his genius and talent, a series of great American gifts to mankind in the 20th century.
@@EliasKagan you're right it wasn't a political weapon. But the Soviets did use their dominance in chess to demonstrate the superiority of communism over other forms of polity!
No computers or inflated ELO ratings in those days, Just pure ability and talent mixed with lots and lots of training and memorizing what they had remembered form chess book as well as analysis of each others games. After Karpov it all changed and all the grafting had been done for Kasparov and others after him.
@@desoztopdesoz2456 watching the match would certainly be unimaginably interesting but well.....Fischer was Fischer and the match wouldn't have been half as interesting if Fischer didn't have an eccentric personality! :)
@@SimonWilliams-y1n That’s rather harsh don’t you think? He was a world champion after all, and his exchange sacrifices and positional understanding were remarkable (I’m a big petrosian fan myself so I’m biased haha)
@@ChessIN I'm a serious student of the game. Study Petrosians games with Stockfish. He was a LOUSY player. He lost a game in 9 moves. I've have NEVER lost a game in 9 moves. How do you even accomplish that? People aren't objective. I don't believe Petrosian ever won a Tournament while he was World Champion for 6 years. Come on. 🙄
He lost game in 9 moves and u never lost a game in 9 moves . You said . 😂Well you never been a world champion like him either. Read Kasparov what he said about Petrosian . But maybe he was a lousy player as well for you.
the video is a true collection of one of the classics and as the saying goes old is gold

Glad you liked it!
This video is really a classic....the more I watch the more I love it! Thanks for the treat ChessIN!
Wow! I have watched this video of yours many times! It is absolutely brilliant and joyful to watch! Thanks a tonne for this! 👍🏻
Very interesting one; background music creating a great impact. Very creative one
There's just something so enigmatic when it comes to rare footage of chess greats
Very true!
Wow! This was such a nostalgic video!! Miss your videos, ChessIN, do give us more!
Congrats on 20k views chessIN !!
And also perhaps pained hahaha!!! Thanks for this amazing footage!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
the first video is the footage of the first game between Spassky and Petrosian in WCC 1966, a Caro-Kann
Yep, you're correct!
back when chess was for adults and had class
Shitty times❤❤
fischer showed lot of class and maturity!!
Even if Russia used chess as a political weapon, I just have to respect them for loving & respecting chess this much
Very true! They have enriched chess!
How the hell can you use it as a political weapon it’s just a game, the space race is another thing
@@EliasKagan you're right it wasn't a political weapon. But the Soviets did use their dominance in chess to demonstrate the superiority of communism over other forms of polity!
I think it was more the government who was using it, the players themselves were simply in love with the game. But yeah, I agree
You conquer Russa with go, not with chess. No towers needed, no Borg drones or Queens. Just kick the spaniards out
Congratulations on 10k views ChessIN !!!! Your channel keeps growing faster day by day !!
Thanks!
@@ChessIN welcome
Truly beautiful, subbed and liked! Stay safe always and God bless!
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Thank you for the wishes and I wish the same upon you!
Shaking with joy .... thank you !
Glad you're enjoying the video! :)
It had to be a rough time playing Petrosian in a match not only solid as a brick wall but at any moment might pull a winning exchange sac on you.
Hey bro! Hope you doing well! Cheers!
Spassky and Petrosian. ❤️❤️❤️.Golden Era.
Yes! I never did live through that era but it would be an unforgettable experience
who does meet Spassky in the airport? Looks like Fischer but it is impossible , right?
I wish we could see the time when Tal became the world champion
That would be a treat!
chess in Soviet Union post-War, up to the fall of the country was just about the most popular the sport has ever been anywhere in its history.
Very true!
Petrosyan seems like such a nice guy - his mannerisms do remind me of Levon.
It was said that Spassky looked like a movie star.
He does look fairly handsome!
The movie star was Bobby, while Spassky was the true gentleman
@@carlossimancas9867 Those were the comments from the american audience at the Second Piatigorsky Cup, Santa Monica 1966, won by Spassky.

Spassky had the most magnificent hair.
He did!
Really cool!
Thanks mate!
What is the music in the video?
Rose petals
Spassky was definitely one classy guy.
Tal sacrificed his video here😂😂😂
Magical... !
Looked like ragozin blundered a ♜.
I thought so too
BOBBY FISHER-Sorry for Waiting,Enjoy for Being Champ for now...
XD
where is the magician from riga😇
Couldn’t find the footage unfortunately
And aslo perhaps pained..lmao💀
Haha!
Interesting.
No,, I am not enjoying it till I see Mikhail Tal
Ah! Unfortunately I couldn't get footage of his

Spassky and petosian playing to an audience full of people, spassky and fiscker playing to nobody not even cameras
True
@@ChessIN its a real shame as watching the match would have been a real treat now, bobby was just an areshole
@@desoztopdesoz2456 watching the match would certainly be unimaginably interesting but well.....Fischer was Fischer and the match wouldn't have been half as interesting if Fischer didn't have an eccentric personality! :)
Spassky and Fischer did play to audiences in every game with one exception, the game in the back room of the theatre building that Fischer won.
@@swissarmytenor now that you mention it,I think you're right. My memory of the match is rather foggy likely cause I wasn't born back then! XD
I've NEVER understood how a Grandmaster could lose to Petrosian. He was a TERRIBLE Chessplayer. 😒
I hope you’re being sarcastic 😂
@@ChessIN Not at all. He was a LOUSY player and Fischer PROVED it.
