There are the 3 great brilliancies in chess. 1) the brilliant victory over your opponent. 2) the escape from a lost game to brilliantly secure a draw. 3) the brilliant excuse for why you lost. ~ Steve Strongheart.
I want to thank you for this analysis. Of the dozens I've seen on this game, it was never laid out as well as you have done. Most just say Fischer blundered the bishop because of the pawn move and that's it.
In 1992 he admitted it was a miscalculation. Fischer was famous for trying to win, and it should still have been a draw. Fischer knew he was up against the very best of the Soviet chess machine and thus kept switching openings.
@@RMF49 That's because after black's Bxh2, there is no forced win for white. But then black blundered with 39...f5??, and Spassky found Kh4!! ~ The only move.
Not on the chess board. But he just studies about the world from the wrong places and thought it was true. Much like a "progressively" taught college student/graduate today. No shortage if insanity there, and the world is feeling it.
Another wonderful analysis, I just subscribed! And I tried to find out who you are. I figured you must be an IM or even GM, but so far I have not succeeded! Do you prefer anonymity or would you gladly share your name? Thanks for your super logical and stimulating videos!
@@RaineriHakkarainen Bobby Fischer the MJ or Chess. Bobby had moments that are just crazy, did you see his hidden games with that GM later on? Where he was moving the king, that type of stuff is just insane, that is why he's the GOAT. In my opinion which isn't worth anything but I think he's the GOAT
@@nikhildawani2913 Magnus is over rated. Imagine if Fischer had computers and theory as a kid. Everybody thinks Magnus is so good, he's just the best right now, but he's over rated IMO.
Fischer understood something that has been forgotten in over the board play against humans since engines appeared: the best move against a human is not necessarily the best engine move. It is the one that wins the game. An engine may see a very difficult reply to a less-than-best move, but a human may not.
Great presentation! Everyone at the time considered (game 2) Bxh2 a blunder but it was only a miscalculated inaccuracy that after best moves continuation could force the draw which before Bxh2 it should have just been a dead draw. Spassky still had to play accurately to avoid losing the initiative.
@Anonymous-g2s: Maybe not so ridiculous. If he had not blundered later, crazy-as-a-fox Fischer snatching a draw out of the jaws of defeat in spite of the outward craziness of the bishop for two pawns swap may have had a real flummoxing effect on Spassky and the rest of the Soviet chess brigade...
Agree, Spassky had and entire team of grandmasters helping him prep while Fischer was pretty much on his own not an easy feat to achieve. Funny you say Fischer was saying Spassky was saying he was a worse chess player. Latter Fischer said Spassky was the best player in the world the true champion 😂
You don't know how bad I wish I had chess knowledge and experience to truly appreciate these moves. I know I can think strategically, I just don't have the game experience.
I think f4 was the last move before time control and Fischer's aide Lombardy immediately knew it was a mistake. Hi was upset with himself, not with the Bishop sac. he said 'yeah yeah that was a miscalculation' (which wasn't even a losing move) but f4 he should have known better.
What if he had just decided to have some fun and it didn't work out? "What if I just do this crazy shit right here" 😊 perhaps only us 700 rated players have fun 😂😂
Fischer same tragedy as Morphy's a bit over a hundred years earlier. The amount of unplayed chess gems lost to the world by these two is unfathomable. Maybe one day some AI can recreate them...
I suppose Fischer committed the bishop mistake in a frantic, unreasonable attempt to escape the draw. The fact that, after losing his bishop, he then played the wrong pawn also indicates that he was probably nervous as hell, which could additionally explain his initial bishop error. A composed and a chess-ending expert Capablanca would never make such errors.
2 sportsmen have caused wars to pause:: war was on pause to watch Pele play soccer ()football) - he was that great. Fisher Spasky Match 2 put a halt to the war - and caused Bobby to become a fugitive. Think about that. The power to stop a war makes one a criminal.
Actually, the ridiculous demands that Fischer was making regarding this match at first delt with money. Then Fischer's undiagnosed Asperger syndrome took over. It was also believed that Fischer also had paranoid delusions issues. Fischer was a brilliant chess player but his undiagnosed psychological issues eventually took over his mind and his life.
What a trash study, psychology. Do you think there was some paranoia in his head since the FBI watching him since he was about 5 years old? If you find yourself under investigation (getting common today for even good American people), lets see how you handle it. I bet you will be looking over your shoulder for a long time. Now, according to Thomas Sowell, it is common for a person who is extremely good at one thing, falls on their face outside of that discipline. He used Noam Chomsky for an example, but that includes Fischer. He got a hold of some Jew hating material, and blamed the Jews instead of the big few, and his own mother, that followed communism. We still do that today, blame a people instead of the philosophy they follow. So there is a lot of insanity going on, that is now "normal".
You are really presumptuous to call moves blunders that are played by players vastly better than you. Your analysis is often really bogus. And who are you to say Alkekhine"s defense is inferior? Clearly Bobby showed it isn't.
"Chess world in state of shock"? Bro, that was 100 years ago. If the chess world was still in shock until today, they would all have starved to death, and chess would have died out.😂
I think at first glance, ANYONE in the chess world would be shocked to see 29...Bxh2!? played in that position, even if they only just came across this game today

Great presentation. Even though I knew most of this, you relayed it in such an interesting way. Keep up the good work.
Totally agree w/ your comments at 19:00. He knew he was the best player and remained confident, having just crushed Taimonov, Larsen, and Petrosian.
Interesting and insightful -- held my attention the whole time, even though I'm in a hurry!

pure insanity and fischer do belong in same sentence in more ways than one.

I am still in shock after learning of this pure insanity.
Just a game man. Relax.
I remember when Fischer played ...Nh5. It blew everybody's mind at the time.
I guessed it! That it was the Bishop sac for two pawns game 😀
Thanks for showing this one!
"Looks absolutely crazy, but that's only because it's genius."
Bobby fischer is the Michael Jordan of Chess, with the personality of Dennis Rodman.

Man I'm still on the first move.

Fischer was just testing spaasky by putting himself at a disadvantage. A psychological ploy.
Don't be ridiculous.

Playing against Fischer was like playing against Lurch.
Don't ever forget Fischer forgot more about chess than Magnus will ever know.

feedback: when presenting games from the point of view of black, like this one, can you flip the board? Thanks.
no, he shouldn't. This is the correct way of presenting it. Board flipping is for beginners
8:10 Fischer's move after Spasky (sp) blocks the bishop.
Fischer saves bishop in 2 moves. Pawn h5 then h4.
Stop that.
I suppose Fischer committed the bishop mistake in a frantic, unreasonable attempt to escape the draw. The fact that, after losing his bishop, he then played the wrong pawn also indicates that he was probably nervous as hell, which could additionally explain his initial bishop error.

Every chess player knows about this Fischer got his bishop trapped
Me, an intellectual, ah, yes, classic zugswam.
2 sportsmen have caused wars to pause::

Like an orange !
Spassky vs Spasticky♟️
Whites dark bishop takes knight / bishop or pawn takes bishop/ rook take light bishop… what’s wrong with that? I’m sure something but I can’t see it!
why do you always wear shades?😎
Would you be surprised if a legally blind person was teaching chess ?
@nuclearthreat545 For sure lol But I don't think this is the case. I have a couple guesses, but being legally blind is not one. lol
But is Bobby into gractal?
OH lets not forget about Sammy Reshevsky ❤❤👍👍
Why are you wearing sunglasses and taking up 1/5 on the screen?
You could say the exact same thing even if he wasnt wearing glasses and he only took up 1/8th of the screen. lol
Spassky made a mistake conceding to Fisher demands.
Well, television at that time did really make a horrendous high pitch noise.
actually fischer's proposal for how these tournaments should be ran, makes a lot of sense
He is not a whiny guy. He wanted no excuse, and Fischer although dramatic is some one you want to test to see if you're the best.
What is abouth glaseas????always
Why? Why did Spassky need a TV camera???
why do they trade when they could just go face

Not any special move or mistake by any means

Maybe take off the glasses? :)
OK sorry. It was "that move". :)
Spassky is clearly better than Bobby Fischer. 😂😂😂😂

Man just show the full game first and stop trying to copy Agadmator. It’s click bait when you portray game variations that never happened.
I disagree. This analysis was one that I've never seen out of dozens about this game.
