I'm not good at chess. I understand the basics and rules, but I don't play it well. Nonetheless, since I found your channel, I've grown to like the game better, understand more the history, the plays, and the games. Thanks for your great work and entertainment.
I agree! I'm from Switzerland and I like those vids very much! I didn't think chess could be funny, intelligent and beautiful at the same time but agadmator can do it! Enjoy!
I too am horrible at this noble game but it does not detract from the joy I get from watching “ The Master from Croatia “. Agad you have a gift that I do not believe can be improved upon. I now play on chess. com against the computer , on a very low level. This after a 40 year hiatus. One thing now tho , I don’t throw the pieces anymore.
*Spassky makes move* "Brilliant move by Spassky here, this gives him four openings for a devastating attack." *Fischer makes move* "The best Spassky can hope for is a draw." I have no idea what I'm watching but the fact that so much can change in one move is thrilling to me.
The actual story behind is Spassky was being poisoned with radiation by the Americans before and after games, Fischer was being fucked with by the soviets due to frequencies they had admitting from the cameras at the event. Fischer requested a different room away from the noise and Spassky agreed, probably because he knew what was going on. People don’t realize Spassky was forced to play in fear by the Russians. It was all political
Yes, I enjoyed that very much. I especially like hearing about and learning more of Spassky. Your analysis is an introduction of him to me, and has transformed my thoughts of him from that of a Soviet era, (evil empire), machine to Nice Russian guy that loves chess and competition. It's always nice to step away from ignorance :-) Thank you!
I remember enjoying his commentaries very much when there were episodes of the BBC's The Master Game on youtube. "I make this move ... with great pleasure!"
Agadmator, please pin this comment as it will give interior insight on this game from Spassky's side. Source: The book about this match by Nikolai Krogius. This variation was a novelty home-cooked by Spassky, Iivo nei, Geller and Krogius. Instead of 21.h5 they planned to play exchange rooks on d file and play Rd8, that was a home-preparation. Spassky spent 45 minutes on this move and played h5. After the game Geller interrogated Spassky about that move, he rebuked him saying "let us say the two moves are equally good, then you could spend those 45 minutes on our home prepared variant if you did not forget." Spassky replied he did not forget 21.Rd8 but said that he thought h5 is better. Then Geller rebuked even more saying "you did not forget and did not play. You did not trust us?" The book gives their home variation, I checked it via Droidfish and it says Black is winning. The score starts with -0.65 and increases the depth increases. Spassky was to exchange rooks and play Rd8 instead of h5. Karpov says in his interview (Karpov on Fischer) that that was a winning line and a novelty created by Spassky's team but Spassky did not memorize the analysis saying "I will find the moves over the board." EDIT: It has been years since I read the book in Russian, the way I recalled it might not be precise. I may be confusing the conversations but I am sure Geller rebyked Spassky and the home-prepared continuation was to exchange the rooks and play Rd8. and I recall quiet sure Spassky spent 45 minutes on that move according to Krogius.
Yes, Geller was very upset after this game, and it has something to do with game no 3. in this match after which Spassky said that he forgot the continuation in Benoni that was home prepared - he played Nc4 instead of Bb2, which was suggested to Spassky's team by young GM Vasiukov. Krogius book gives great insight in state of Spassky's psychology before and during this match. My opinion is that, in general, he wasn't any weaker than Fischer, if you compare them in their prime, but I think that Spassky was totally burned outafter two extremely difficult WC cycles and matches against Keres, Tal, Korchnoi, Petrosian, and that affected him not just in Reykyavik, but his whole later chess career, which is great pitty because, in my opinion, he was one of the greates pure chess talents you'll ever see.
Mind boggling the memory and analytical skills of these GMs. To remember and incorporate games from years before blows my mind! The number of variations of a chess match has to be in the millions. Take a very young genius who loves the game and add obsession and a tireless work ethic and years of experience and you may become great. Maybe learn 3 or 4 foreign languages so you peruse other countries chess literature and maybe you play for the world championship. I understand why these guys had so many demands as they were playing for chicken feed in sub par conditions for Masters of their craft who should have a been granted any atmosphere they wanted. I guess chess has never had the respect it deserves. Another superior analysis from a Master of the youtube!!!
As an American teenager in 1972 I'll never forget Shelby Lyman and his live presentation of these games on PBS (in New York, it was channel 13, lol). By far the most fun I've ever had regarding chess!
Because of the information you shared on Fischer, I Googled his name to see why he was so weird! I was shocked by his personal history and his unstable state of mind! Poor crazy genius!
brilliant analysis, really enjoyed your breakdown of the lines as the middle devolved into the endgame. and man, your dog loves that couch! thanks for all your amazing work, only found you since being locked in because of the virus, makes me want to play again!

Stupid Arpad Elo tough wrongly that the chess rating average is 1400 and standard devotion SD=282,8 the correct numbers are the chess rating average is 1650 and SD=256 how Stupid Arpad Elo got this wrong SD=282,8 So we get 200x200+200x200=80000 and square root 80000 is 282,8! Really Shocking stupid Arpad Elo! We can not trust these 1970-1972 elo ratings!! Carlsen is 100xtimes better than Spassky! Carlsen would beat Fischer 30 times easily because weak Spassky beat Fischer 10 times!
I've been following your videos and series for a long while now, but I've never commented for some reason. You're doing an amazing job with these analyses. I just wanted to say thank you for the content! Good job!
You are the only channel that I turned notifications for AND also watched all the channel's videos. Really there's no bad video here, while I was waiting for you to upload the Fischer series I went to see if there was a video that I could watch from your channel but found that I already watched them all! Needless to say I had to re-watch some Tal games again, they never lose their magic.
Thank you. I was actually alive during this match; it was an electric time in my life and in the U.S. Your commentary on these games have really helped me to understand them.
After noticing someone with a Chess Academy T shirt, I started a 10 minute conversation about this game. That conversation got my attention again for Chess after about 30 years of not playing. All I knew was how to move the pieces. So after a little research, I am very grateful to have found this channel. Although I am not very good at this game, I have come to love it even more. I very much appreciate the history. I have learned a few new things about this game I had no idea about before. Thank you agadmator!!
I’m loving the Fischer series! As a long time supporter, your channel has grown so much. Genuinely good content. I hope to buy you a beer over some chess games one day. Cheers!
Hadnt play for 30! years, now i play everyday since 3 months lose 90% of the matches and will never stop:) Agadmators channel initially fueled my passion Big Time. Much respect and love to Aga and all the "excellent subscribers".
Hey agadmator, we really appreciate you putting so much work into your videos and increasing our vast knowledge of the past (so we may not repeat their mistakes in our own games!), you have really improved over time and brighten our every day!
What a game ! You do an excellent job displaying all of these games ! Amazing,, TY So much ! I loved this game since the age of 7 when my dad taught me, that was 50 yrs ago ! Lol,, I am retired now and enjoying the time I have playing and learning,, Thanks to you and others, there is so much to learn ! Its just great !!! 😁✌🕇❤
Great analysis for a great game! When someone says that draws are always boring, show them this game. This game is excellent. Just 2 great players playing great moves back and forth. I feel like Spassky is often forgot about when we talk about great players because he lost to Fischer but he really was an excellent player, but Bobby Fischer from 1970-1972 was one of, if not the strongest chess player in history and he was nearly unstoppable.
Bobby Fischer against The weakest chess world champion Ever Boris Spassky 17 wins 11 losses!!! My old computer tought 5:22 minutes Capablanca-Reti game move and solved! Same computer tought 4:37 minutes Kasparov-Kramnik game move and solved! The computer telling The Truth! Capablanca better than Kasparov!

Thank you for your excellent posts and insights; I have been enjoying your videos and you are making me enjoy chess again too. Your patient dog is also delightful!
I remember I was impressed with how well Fischer played in the series, but I didn't understand how well Spassky played in these games. Truly the match of the century.
Hello Agadmator! Your coverage of these matches are like seasons of Game of Thrones to me Every season more intriguing than the previous one And as expected the final season starts with a bang P.S: If Fischer's series was made into a TV series, what will the title be? A song of white and black may be
Hi Antonio. Important note for Game 6: Spassky's Immortal Gesture I would very much like that, during the coverage of the game 6 Spassky x Fischer, you mention the fact when Spassky stood up and aplauded Fischer's briliancy in the game known as "The Synfony of Placid Beauty". In my opinion this was the greatest moment in chess history. It shows how much Spassky is a real sportsmen and, above all, a great human being. It has to be remenbered that it was the times of the Cold War and as is well know the atmosphere wasnt all calm for a soviet world champion to confront an American genius. Nevertheless, Spassky succed in demonstrate what was really important among all external tensions: The Art of playing chess. Definietly, a gesture to be properly remembered for the benefit of the new generations. Thanks. P.S. #suggestion "The Uruguayan Immortal". (Uruguayan Championship, 1943 B. Molinari x Luis Roux Cabral)
Hello Alan: I agree that Spassky behaved like a real gentleman, a fine human being, and was very brave. That very human and admirable gesture was the beginning of a lifelong friendship between Spassky and Fischer, and also Fischer's love of Iceland, as the only place he had experienced such a spontaneous and unexpected outburst of acceptance and appreciation. p.s. Bobby was still a total nutcase.
Thank you agadmator for another excellent video, really enjoying the Fischer series & catching up on older videos... I’ve only seen a review of one 960 game, any plans to review some in the future? Or are they just difficult/not fun to review? Thank you & keep up the stellar work!
Well done my friend im always fan of people who improve they possition.Long time i following you and the best leason i learn from you is : if you want to be someone better stronger epic even legendary you have to lose a lot no winner understand the importance of losing possitions no winner have the experince to go foward and be someone
Man that Qc3 move to force a queen trade is just nasty, I don’t blame Spassky for missing that move so far ahead in the variation. You can’t give Fischer an inch it seems.
You are right, Spassky is quite the gentleman. Dealing with all of Fischer's antics, and and playing Fischer's favorite openings, seems like really wanted to know who was the better chess player. Like you said, he could have already been named the winner by default.
I respectfully disagree with you on the camera point Agad. Part of being a competitor, a sportsman is being able to do it just as well if not better on the biggest stage, with the world watching. I understand noise being a valid complain, but 'sensing' a silent camera is not. Performing when everyone's watching is a requirement of a champion.
Every time I comment I regret most of it by watching your next vid. First, let me say, I’ve been enjoying your work, and especially the commentary and mostly when u allow the audience to pause and figure out a key move. I’m learning a ton more about the game, thanks to you. Ok, having said that, BF prob showed up on time because he probably also heard the same kids and cars etc. I take back the ADHD comment in place for intense shyness? I’m not sure.
You are very talented in your presentations, speech, etc. Much smarter than I. I watch a lot of your shows. That being said, I have never heard the expression "I don't think anyone could FINDED it!?!? (I don't think anyone could have FOUND it... :) Don't feel bad. I only speak one language... Texan.
Agadmator: "It will put both players in a better mood for the match!" What is Lothar Schmid's quote referring to? Thank you for your videos they are very educational, informative and entertaining.
12:05 , why in this position knight e4 doeasn't work? i think it would stop Spassky's bishops pair and his idea. I'm sure i'm wrong but tell me why, please :)
I am really enjoying this series. Of course I know about Fischer, but I am eager to learn about Spassky. This game shows he was a really strong player. I am sure Fischer had a lot of respect for him. He doesn't try to go for anything more than a draw with the white pieces, that speaks volumes.
I'm not good at chess. I understand the basics and rules, but I don't play it well. Nonetheless, since I found your channel, I've grown to like the game better, understand more the history, the plays, and the games.
Thanks for your great work and entertainment.
Same for me. I was afraid to be the only one noob in the middle of a crowd of chess geniuses. We should play together once :-))
I agree! I'm from Switzerland and I like those vids very much! I didn't think chess could be funny, intelligent and beautiful at the same time but agadmator can do it! Enjoy!
Remember to simply have fun! At the end of the day, it's just a game.
Indeed it is. And it is so beautifull to watch and play that I don't mind losing :-)
I too am horrible at this noble game but it does not detract from the joy I get from watching “ The Master from Croatia “. Agad you have a gift that I do not believe can be improved upon. I now play on chess. com against the computer , on a very low level. This after a 40 year hiatus. One thing now tho , I don’t throw the pieces anymore.
*Spassky makes move* "Brilliant move by Spassky here, this gives him four openings for a devastating attack."
*Fischer makes move* "The best Spassky can hope for is a draw."
I have no idea what I'm watching but the fact that so much can change in one move is thrilling to me.
I can't think of another game where so much can change in an instant.
"It's not all black and white"
Agadmator even cracked himself up with that one haha
Were you watching him when his videos kept getting put down by the algorithm cuz he it kept hearing white beats black 🤣
Spassky complies under fischer's conditionds but also plays with openings fischer's good at. Definitely a very nice guy!!
Kept Fischer on his toes. But both are legends..
The actual story behind is Spassky was being poisoned with radiation by the Americans before and after games, Fischer was being fucked with by the soviets due to frequencies they had admitting from the cameras at the event. Fischer requested a different room away from the noise and Spassky agreed, probably because he knew what was going on. People don’t realize Spassky was forced to play in fear by the Russians.

@@RaineriHakkarainen A. Where are you getting this information? B. Who cares about 1 tournament performance ratings? C. Did you account for Elo inflation? D. Fischer was away from chess for 20 years. Lasker was still playing actively, big difference. E. Why are you getting so hostile and aggressive for no reason? Chill out

@@RaineriHakkarainen A. That’s one tournament, that doesn’t give you an accurate representation of Caruana in general. B. What info are you getting from this source? Your facts don’t make much sense. C. Ok, great, Carlsen’s record against Caruana, cool. What does that have to do with what we are talking about?
That was a brilliant, deep and clever game, with excellent analysis.
Thank you Agadmator.
Thank you for your excellent posts and insights; I have been enjoying your videos and you are making me enjoy chess again too. Your patient dog is also delightful!
"Although he wouldn't do it against spassky ".... I doubt that one 😂
Just like he wouldn't play 11.Nxd5
I remember I was impressed with how well Fischer played in the series, but I didn't understand how well Spassky played in these games. Truly the match of the century.
World class play by both. Terrific analysis as well. Chess brought to life!
Agad: “this was spassky’s best move”
Also Agad: “But fischer had an answer to this” 🤣
Hello Agadmator!
Your coverage of these matches are like seasons of Game of Thrones to me
Every season more intriguing than the previous one
And as expected the final season starts with a bang
P.S:
If Fischer's series was made into a TV series, what will the title be?
A song of white and black may be
Ugh Snap! This goes into my cringe compilation!
U are complete nerd like me.. hahahah
Boo Radley are you a 9 yr old or a normal redditor?
#nineyearoldarmy 👏👏
Except season eight would be a massive disappointment!
thanks for the great content Agad! my favourite youtuber :)
I woke up, and there is already a new video from Agadmator :D
Thank you again for another informative and well done video.
Awesome video as always!
Nice work agad i'm really loving this series
These videos are my favorite part of the day.
I love your commentary, keep up !
It's amazing how Fisher took on the entire Soviet system with the juggernaugt team around Spasky.
Sent him crazy in the process though
Chess is so infinitely complicated. The rook interaction between d8 h8 is insanity.
I enjoy this series very much! Much Longer videos but will increase my vast knowledge greatly.
This is just getting better and better
Your level of analysis of chess games is Too Goood! Loved it!
16:04 Stops checkmate with queen trade using a pin - what a move to see in advance !!
This channel is doing gods work
Most eagerly waited series from agadmator.. Enjoying it.
5:36 he calls a pawn a bishop
3rd time watching through this series, always a treat to get to watch the World Championship at the end of the saga.
Hi Antonio. Important note for Game 6: Spassky's Immortal Gesture
I would very much like that, during the coverage of the game 6 Spassky x Fischer, you mention the fact when Spassky stood up and aplauded Fischer's briliancy in the game known as "The Synfony of Placid Beauty".
In my opinion this was the greatest moment in chess history. It shows how much Spassky is a real sportsmen and, above all, a great human being.
It has to be remenbered that it was the times of the Cold War and as is well know the atmosphere wasnt all calm for a soviet world champion to confront an American genius.
Nevertheless, Spassky succed in demonstrate what was really important among all external tensions: The Art of playing chess. Definietly, a gesture to be properly remembered for the benefit of the new generations.
Thanks.
P.S. #suggestion "The Uruguayan Immortal". (Uruguayan Championship, 1943 B. Molinari x Luis Roux Cabral)
Hello Alan: I agree that Spassky behaved like a real gentleman, a fine human being, and was very brave.
That very human and admirable gesture was the beginning of a lifelong friendship between Spassky and Fischer, and also Fischer's love of Iceland, as the only place he had experienced such a spontaneous and unexpected outburst of acceptance and appreciation.
p.s. Bobby was still a total nutcase.
Thank you agadmator for another excellent video, really enjoying the Fischer series & catching up on older videos... I’ve only seen a review of one 960 game, any plans to review some in the future? Or are they just difficult/not fun to review? Thank you & keep up the stellar work!
Great video series! Thanks
Love the videos. Thank you
5:37 Spassky has 3 bishops!!🐪🐪🐪
merci pour cette publication...TERRIFIC!!!
Love this series!! ❤❤❤
excellent video as always!!!!
Well done my friend im always fan of people who improve they possition.Long time i following you and the best leason i learn from you is : if you want to be someone better stronger epic even legendary you have to lose a lot no winner understand the importance of losing possitions no winner have the experince to go foward and be someone
I was hoping to see this game today . I watched game three yesterday . Love your vids . Nice haircut ! In Soviet Russia king captures queen . Lol
Very good and entertaining videos, thanks
Man that Qc3 move to force a queen trade is just nasty, I don’t blame Spassky for missing that move so far ahead in the variation. You can’t give Fischer an inch it seems.
You are right, Spassky is quite the gentleman. Dealing with all of Fischer's antics, and and playing Fischer's favorite openings, seems like really wanted to know who was the better chess player. Like you said, he could have already been named the winner by default.
And this is why you're the best chess commentator
I try to comment on agadmator’s videos to support the channel. He deserves it.
16:40 “but it’s not all that black and white” LOL actually, it kinda is 🤣
By watching and studying these and all your videos i have become an chess player with some new vast knowledge. ...your the best
Bobby Fischer best of all 😍😍
Carlsen is the best.
@@mhoadievdelapaz3703 Some will suggest Kasparov was the best.
18:29 I couldn't have found that move in a lifetime, let alone in such a tense moment and limited time..
Rd8 doesn't work at 16:21 because of Kxe6+. Fischer would be up the exchange and then the king can escape or rook can capture if Bd6
Yeah. I just saw that and all the variations that follow favour white immensely
Spassky - "Hey Bobby, Geller said this not good opening.."
Fischer - "ahh F'em!"
Man Fischer is love doesn't matter if he wins or not I want more of him
I respectfully disagree with you on the camera point Agad. Part of being a competitor, a sportsman is being able to do it just as well if not better on the biggest stage, with the world watching. I understand noise being a valid complain, but 'sensing' a silent camera is not. Performing when everyone's watching is a requirement of a champion.
Every time I comment I regret most of it by watching your next vid. First, let me say, I’ve been enjoying your work, and especially the commentary and mostly when u allow the audience to pause and figure out a key move. I’m learning a ton more about the game, thanks to you. Ok, having said that, BF prob showed up on time because he probably also heard the same kids and cars etc. I take back the ADHD comment in place for intense shyness? I’m not sure.
gledam te neko vrijeme i primjetih da dobro izgovaras slavenska imena i prezimena al ono nism uopce mogo pomislit da si Hrvat. Svaka cast :)
You are very talented in your presentations, speech, etc. Much smarter than I. I watch a lot of your shows. That being said, I have never heard the expression "I don't think anyone could FINDED it!?!? (I don't think anyone could have FOUND it... :) Don't feel bad. I only speak one language... Texan.
I love your videos!
Game organizers: *sneaks a camera in the middle of the game*
Fischer: I CAN SENSE THAT CAMERA!!!!🤨😠😤
The sultan from Dracula is showing us chess moves. Great video.
Thanks I was waiting
Thanks for the video!
Match of century would be agadmator vs suren
Yess😂😂
remember when you were doing your examination paper and your teacher was watching you from behind? it felt unpleasant
Agadmator:
"It will put both players in a better mood for the match!"
What is Lothar Schmid's quote referring to?
Thank you for your videos they are very educational, informative and entertaining.
I liked this video on my friends account and this account because I wanted to show you some love
12:05 , why in this position knight e4 doeasn't work? i think it would stop Spassky's bishops pair and his idea. I'm sure i'm wrong but tell me why, please :)
you are narrating the whole sequence like a lively drama. love it!! especially, when the camera to record the board and when to record the players? :)
I am really enjoying this series. Of course I know about Fischer, but I am eager to learn about Spassky. This game shows he was a really strong player. I am sure Fischer had a lot of respect for him. He doesn't try to go for anything more than a draw with the white pieces, that speaks volumes.
