Bobby Fischer was a record-setting chess master who became the youngest player to win the U.S. Chess Championship at 14, and the first American-born player to win the World Chess Championship.
Bobby Fischer was born on March 9, 1943, in Chicago, Illinois. Fischer first learned the game of chess at age 6 and eventually became the youngest international grand master at the age of 15. In 1972, he became the first American-born world chess champion after defeating Boris Spassky. An eccentric genius, who was believed to have an I.Q. of 181, Fischer became known for his controversial public remarks in his later years. He was granted Icelandic citizenship in 2005, following legal trouble with the United States. He died on January 17, 2008.
Early Life
Robert James Fischer was born in Chicago, Illinois, on March 9, 1943. Fischer's parents divorced when he was a toddler, and he began learning chess at the age of 6 after his older sister Joan bought him a chess set. He continued to hone his skills as a youngster at the Brooklyn Chess Club and Manhattan Chess Club. Fischer had a strained relationship with his mother, who supported his chess endeavors, but preferred that he pursue other areas of interest.
A brilliant, highly competitive player who lost himself in the game, Fischer earned a place in the record books at age 14 when he became the youngest player to win the U.S. Chess Championship. Then in 1958, at 15, he became the youngest international grand master in history by winning the related tournament in Portoroz, Yugoslavia (now Slovenia).
Match of the Century
During the early 1960s, Fischer continued to be involved in U.S. and world championship matches, but was also making a name for himself with his erratic, paranoid commentary. After having a 20-game winning streak in the early 1970s, Fischer once again made chess history in 1972 with his defeat of the Soviet Union's Boris Spassky at the Reykjavik, Iceland world championships, thus marking the first time an American chess player had won the title. Fischer's defeat of a Soviet opponent, which became known as the "Match of the Century," took on iconic proportions in the midst of the Cold War and was seen as a symbolic victory of democracy over Communism. Fischer's historic win also made chess a popular game in the United States.

Bobby doesnt "give" his pieces, he loans them at 100% interest.
I am not coming back for 30%, I am coming back for everything - Eduardo Saverin
Lmao
🤣
Queen is 9 pawns.
King is 8 pawns sideways.
100% is an understatement.
OY VEY
“Hey Fischer, what did you think of e5”
Fischer: “Weak”
What a beautiful game by Fischer
Thats always Fischers' reply whenever he is asked his opinion of an opponents move,,, lol,,,
Too slow too weak
What I would do for at least a small explanation
His quote at the top being "I am boring. I am boring!"
That early e5 looks so enticing, but of course the point is your own king isn't safe yet so it's double edged
That thought "what does one play when one's life is on the line" was awesome
what line one plays when one's life is on the line
Apparently he won very easily
At the beginning, after Agadmator described the conditions of the match, he said that he could find no record of the match and would be very interested to "(above quote)."
I liked that thought and might not have considered it myself.
@@dickbrazen I just wanted to make line bit punchier
The pressure would be disgusting and terryfying, but it would stimulate you to survive and make best moves for you i think. You wouldn't even be able to choke because it's kinda like not you but your animal instinct would play. But after all who fucking knows.
As a casual player I've been binge watching videos in an attempt to get better. The fact that I didn't predict the Qf4 allowing for the mate with Bh6 stung a little but it taught me a valuable lesson. Your concise and insightful commentary is rapidly making you my favorite chess analyst on TH-cam. Much appreciated
Hanz Flackshnack to be fair I only predicted it because of the title lol there was no other queen sacrifice I completely forgot about the dragon bishop (kinda embarrassing as a KID and Sicilian Dragon player)
Buddy, you've quickly won me over with your easygoing exposition and unforgettable quotations, like "But I would be very interested to see what one would play when his life is on the line," or "This is probably the most poisonous rook ever to stroll the e-file."
Love your videos.
agad is extremely quotable yes. I hope you realise that misquoting him takes the charm out of it. "This is probably the most poisonous rook that ever strolled the e-file" Hope you see the difference
Christian Lund "d4, d3, d1, d-stroy" is my favorite. I forgot which video of his it was from, though.
I was reading it as he said it :p
@@AM-sp6je No... I don't see the difference. You can say ever to, to ever, that ever stroll/strolled. The meaning is the same. The tense is different, but nobody cares about chess tense. You can argue either way that chess is great history and that we analyze these games to celebrate great games that were played, or you can argue that chess never dies and thus the tense would be present. Him getting two or three words wrong from the quotation is forgivable, and you're the one here trying to take the charm out of it by being a grammar Nazi.
This so much. Yes.
Don't you hate it when the title gives away the winner by including words like "Fischer", "Morphy" or "Tal"
Well the tal-fischer games aren't so clear😀
nah.
Once title included Tal and Fischer at the same time and believe it or not one of them lost!
+Like You Twice actually :D
Given what we've come to expect from this channel, a game featuring Tal and Fischer would be ruled a no-contest and include a backstory about backgammon guerrillas storming the venue and making off with Princess Daisy
man, that ending is brutal. It looks as if black will be up in pieces but by capturing queen, he strands himself. By the game was over before the queen move, anyway. But that move on the surface looks so wrong and then... RESIGN. man.
8:55 ".. the most poisonous rook that ever strolled the e-file" hahaha
Fking hilarious commentary.
Dude, I love your story telling! Everything from the background at the start about the firing squad, to the way you explain the moves ("what's white planning here? Well, there are a few options..."), and your own experiences with trying different moves or priyomes. Please keep it up :D!

I would like to see the game Max van Sydow plays against Death in "THE SEVENTH SEAL."
wanted to like this comment but I couldn't.. haha
@@christianpurcariu1358 oh
5 years later and still the best chess channel going. ❤️
SO TRUE!!
Not anymore, not anymore.
The best part of this game that is often missed is that Fisher never again moves either of his initial 2 Kings Indian Def. pieces.
Your videos give me a way to learn so so much during the slow hours at my work. You've given me a way to not only get much better at chess by watching some of the best games ever played, but a way to see greater beauty in it every day. Thank you.

I'm a Chilean and I met to René Letelier. He was a truly gentleman. In one opportunity beated to Fischer in a Buenos Aires tournament :)
fake news
@@enocherone
Actually it's true.
1959, Mar del Plata, Fisher lost to Letelier.
www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1044094
Fischer was just a child in the 1950’s.
@@BarryAdams777 This game was only 1 year later lol. Also you get grandmasters at like 13 years old so being a teen isn't that bad. Hou Yifan was also world champion at the age of 16.
Fischer was already incredibly strong in1959
I feel like this kind of move defines Bobby for me. Brutal and elegant, he's waiting for his rival to come to the best move in their position knowing that they are simply walking to their doom. And Bobby simply holds the door open for them 😁
Watching this in 2022 makes me very happy for you @agadmator and your journey with the channel. Perhaps it is only appearances, but you look much happier with every new video, and although I can't say you look sad in older videos I am genuinely glad for this "serious guy" to have found success and made such a good chess channel.
Thank you and much love from an anonymous subscriber 😂
A masterpiece of a genius. A brilliant and brutal game with elegance and mastery, as you described.
Nice description
@@musa071 Thank you! I saw it quite differently to Bobby himself... "I am boring, I am boring!" One of the few times I disagree with Bobby! He's my favourite player... apology to so many other outstanding brilliant players!!!
Great, fantastic and immortal Bobby Fischer!!! Respect forever!!! 👍👍👍
Fischer was a beast at pure calculation, wish I could have seen him play, True legend of the game of chess!!
I really enjoy your videos. I love the historical background. In addition you provide just enough strategy and/or tactics to explain the complexities and encourage further research.
Thankyou so much for showing the what if moves, it really helped me understand how far ahead these masters can see the game developing. So fascinating. Wow that finishing is so brilliant
"Elegant Brutality"........ Agadmator's vocabulary is #Savage
When you see games like this, all doubts are dispelled as to whether Fischer mightn't be at the top in ANY era. Middle game clinic!
At least he was lucky that Stockfish or AlphaZero didn't exist in his era.
Had those engines existed he simply would have been an even stronger player. This was a kid who got his hands on chess books written in Russian as a teenager and learned the language so he could understand them. Fischer would have been a dominant player in any era due to his sheer desire. Can you imagine how faster his learning curve would have been with modern engines?
@@cinegraphics Can you imagine?
@@iguoyrxayananikihs9505 yeah, he'd profit from the engines, and he'd certainly be the top dog. Not because of his desire, but because of his superior logic. But.... he would only be the top dog among humans. He wouldn't be the best chess player in the world. Just like Magnus isn't the best chess player. The best chess player in the world is....... Alpha Zero. There will probably never be a human to win that title back. Fischer was lucky enough to live in the time where having the crown of the best human chess player... also meant being the best chess player on the planet. Or even the best chess player in the universe (maybe).
@@cinegraphics Honestly if the universe is infinite, there's probably a world where aliens invented chess and made a stronger chess computer than Alpha Zero
Thanks for your videos! I really enjoy your explanations of the games!
I always loved this game and your analysis just adds icing to the cake so to say! Thank you dear Agadmator, wishing you a long healthy life!
I'm 55 been playing chess since 1972 when I was 5. Never in my life would I think you could sacrifice rook then queen back to back and cause a grandmaster to resign! Bobby Fischer, THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!
I've been watching your videos for a couple of months now and while I enjoyed them, I never thought to subscribe. But you won me over with this game. I love the way you present the game, it's such a refreshing feeling to feel as though you are just "talking" with us instead of lecturing. It's entertaining and informative.
I play the Pirc so I had always wondered about that e5 push in the KID too. I love the explanation. That Queen sacrifice is stuff engines are made of. XD You totally know if Fischer played in the modern era he would so be accused of cheating every game. lol.
Thank you for doing what you do. You earned my sub today and I am the better for it. :)
I really enjoy your straightforward presentations and analysis - thank you!
I watch so many of your videos, can't give you enough credit.
Keep them coming, everyone loves them.
I don't even play chess, but again I find myself on your channel, watching match after match.
LOL
Start playing man
Bobby Fisher is the Neo of the Chess Matrix. Even the machines can’t beat him.
Watching Fischer's games is amazing. The man is brilliant. Thanks for going through these games, I appreciate you.
You are a legend. I love your videos! Thank you for all your hard work. Fischer and Tal for ever!
don't change anything about how you do your videos. you've perfected the art
There's Qh1 at 10:55
Ng4 picks up the bishop, and then the queen
@@bilzebor8457 if Nd4* picks up the bishop, then the Queen picks up the Knight on f3. Then if you trade queens, Ne3 picks up c4. White is down two pawns but it's a rook and a knight against a bishop and a knight, and that is nowhere near winning for black. If black declines the trade, the white queen picks up the Knight. Agadmator's hypotetical line for black is totally wrong.
@@francisjirons what do you do with white after Ng4?
@Francis J. Irons after black goes Ng4 (not typo) the only square for white king to move where it still defends the Bishop is g2, which blocks whites queen on h1. Then Nd4 takes and whites king can’t take back because blacks queen protects the knight.
@@kuchuyobenai9461 yes exactly, and if you move away from the bishop you lose it and after a while you're gonna have to give up your queen to survive
Love your videos and your style so much! Thank you+
Thanks for your frequent analyses, I always enjoy watching your videos.
I think Fischer is the best player, I like his games, he produces an amazing ideas. Fischer👑👑.
The Fisher King!
your commentary got me into the chess game again, you have a new subscriber :)
Welcome! :)
Love your videos. I never was a serious player but you make watching the matches interesting. I specially like when you explain the alternative lines.
great videos, i really appreciate this
Rest in peace Bobby ☘️ what a beautiful tactical blow 🌈
His accent is part of why I keep coming back
Love the videos! Just recently subscribed a couple weeks ago but, thanks so much and keep them coming!👍
Just incredible...thanks for this video
agadmator, giving me ten seconds to guess the power move Fischer is going to make: If you found it, you are a very great player, and I congratulate you.
Me, who read the title and knows that the queen will be sacrificed, and though I know little about chess, guessing correctly where the queen will move: *Intelligence 100*
Yes
The title also gave it away for me, but it still felt good when he complimented me 😂
@@Maori_Einstein You are a very great player...😂😂😂
Yes, sir, poison rook and then poison queen, back to back.
That's why Fischer stayed single so long? He suspected queens were poison.
Great thinking
lol
He was probably a weirdo with women lol. Playing chess games in his head while on a date.
@@magnafire1 😂😂😂
@@magnafire1 Most likely. At some point when something is such a huge passion of yours, it seriously never leaves your head. I'm a classical violinists and will find new bowings/fingerings in my head while I am having conversations with friends lol
You commentary throughout this video made me fall more deeply in love with Chess. What a game.
Everyone: *Say the line! Say the line*
Agad: Sorry about that.
this level of intelligence is just fucking unbelievable...great narration too, just how it's got to be done, beautiful.
Fantastic analysis as always. Thanks so much.
You are such a good communicator, this is the best youtube chess channel no doubts
I laughed out loud when I found Qf4. It just makes you giddy watching someone give up 19 points for the win
Agadmator I played a Tal move in a tournament yesterday conducted by my school and I won the tournament.. The Tal move was played by me by sacrificing my light square bishop and really ended well..😎
Tal move? Like an unsound sacrifice? :D
@ Jordan Nexhip, don't be a jerk. Besides, Tal would smash you any day of the week. Stop acting like you're in the same category as Tal or any GM for that matter.
I wasn't trying to be a jerk... I was referring to one of Tal's quotes where he himself says that his sacrifices are unsound. Just an apology please and we'll forget about this :)
@ Jordan Nexhip, Tal's moves were unsound to who? What you neglect is that he was good enough to be World Champion in an era of very tough competition. By your standards no world champion is good enough as none of them can defeat today's chess engines - not even Magnus. Again, stop acting so smug and discreting Tal simply because you have access to a computer that tells you what to play next.
MrSupernova111 He was just quoting Tal and making a bit of fun you daft ass. Only person here acting smug is you.
Just returning to the game after a long layoff, this channel is a fantastic asset to the chess inclined and I thank you as sincerely as possible. I'd say more but I'd just be repeating the well-deserved comments below mine.
Love your Bobby Fisher videos
I figured out the queen f4 move. Yay, I feel smart. I saw the knights covering those squares. First time I solved the best move in your videos 🙃
Ninnifier O.o same with me. But i would never consider it if I didn't knew it was a crazy move
Joseph Cro agreed
The title of the video kinda gives it away lol
I only figured it out because of the title
Could you please do a video on Kasparov v Karpov - Seville 1987 - Game 24... must win game for Kasparov in order to retain WC title? I think it had only happened once before that someone had to win the last game to be WC. Also, it is a game that Kasparov played very much the way Karpov would. Not a spectacular game... but spectacularly important and also relatively uncovered anywhere on TH-cam. Thanks! #suggestion
TC Candler use the hashtag #suggestion so he can see it.
hey guys
Thanks Mohamed Khaled! I added #suggestion to the original post!
TC Candler No problem. He wrote it below the board.
Kramnik also beat Leko in 2004 in the very last game to retain the title:)
Nice instruction. Enjoy the insights and presentation.
Feeding the TH-cam algorithm. Fantastic game. Great video. Thanks.
I have to admit I only guessed it right because of the title, "A Queen for a King". So I figured it had to be a Queen sacrifice, narrowed it down from there.
Still a bit proud, since I'm very new to chess.
+War Oliv Congratulations :)
Wow wonderful.
Same, I know little of chess but title gave it away, as did knowing the move wasn’t immediately obvious.
Same! Still, I too allowed myself a brief sense of satisfaction-however undeserved-for identifying the master stroke of a great master.
A detective hey ! Very clever my good man ! 😁🖒
I wouldn't have guessed the move if the title hadn't been so obvious
Wow. Amazing capture. Love ur videos
Fantastic game very clever at the end. Happy New Year all the best for 2020
It's obvious what game to play when your life is in the line. The immortal.
"Possibly the most poisonous rook who ever strolled the e-file" - at this point I snorted and realised I'm a bit of a nerd
This was the first time I correctly saw the move, and I'm quite happy that I actually paused and thought on it. Excellent game!
It's indeed a brilliant game by Fischer! Thanks for sharing this
“I am boring. I am boring!” LMAO 😂
The most poisonous pawn that ever strolled in the e-file!
Rook
Wow . elegant brutality, lol. Love it. And the intro to this was very gripping what with the talk of saving your life with the game of chess. What would one playing if the light was on the line. Already one of my favorite game analysis and you haven't even moved a piece.
Thank you alot, very good game, nice video!
If your life is on the line, you play the Kings gambit. Nothing could be more fitting
Agadmator really missed this but if I was Rene, I wouldn't have resigned because at 10:50 queen h1 is a legitimate move that actually retains white's advantage despite losing the bishop and protecting from the mate
After Qh1, I think you can just push g5 and g4 and win the bishop, 'coz white literally has no moves
Actually, after Qh1, Ng4 check wins immediately no matter where the king goes. King can only go to e1, f1, g1 or g2. 1) If kf1, then Nxf3 with a brutal discovery check coming. If say white tries a counterplay with Ne2, then best play goes Nfxh2 check, Ke1 Qf2 check, Kd1 Nf3 and the white knight will be lost because Ne3 is coming with a devasting attack still on going. 2) If Ke1, then best play goes Qe3 check. If bishop or Knight blocks, then Nc2 check, followed by Nf2 check winning the queen. 3) If Kg2, then mate in 3 with Qxf3 check, Kh3, Ng2 check, Kh4, Qg4 mate. 4) If Kg1, then Qe3 check, followed by Qxf3 check with same mating pattern as scenario 3.
But you made your point. it would have been nice if Agadmator analyzed Qh1.
Hey bud, thank you for the great content and perfect pronunciation of my home country, Chile :) Nobody gets it right! I've picked up Chess again after probably 20 years thanks to you and am enjoying myself immensely - have been playing online for a couple months now and recently picked up a board to recreate these great positions you share with us and analyse them in front of me and play with different lines.
Seeing masterpieces unfold in front of me, using the same regular pieces "us mortals" use in our everyday games has really improved my game and makes me smile with games like this one and may others you've shared. Not sure how to explain it, but thanks man. Maybe we'll play one day! #agadmator
Thank you for sharing this. Its one of the first times I kinda understood this game. Fischer seemed to be a phenomonal individual.
Is this the video where he introduces "if you found the move,you are a great player.if you just want to enjoy the show.."?
I dont think so
6:35 "Those bishops are monsters" 🤣🤣🤣
wow , i figured it out. and then i knew 4 sure when i reread the title. luring the king out. brilliant.great video.
That was beautifully played
At 10:43 what about Qh1? It still loses but it prolongs the game
Line?
Check out Nxf3
Rose B.
Nxf3 will deliver white apiece easily....
I thought it was forced mate?
If Qh1, then Ng4+ I guess, winning the bishop on f3 and maybe the queen too in several lines
Believe it or not i guessed the move of Fischer. I'm very proud of me
Amazingly amazing! Thank you!
3:15
If d captures black loses more than a pawn for sure.
The queen lol I’m not the only one who saw it
Qh1 was also a move that Rene could've tried and possibly changed the game.
That's what I thought, but Knight G4 is coming and you have to give up the bishop and and and...
Yes Qh1 continues the game. agadmator should have analysed this
@@videopetanque7436 barely
knight to g4 check will still win the bishop
Actually, after Qh1, Ng4 check wins immediately no matter where the king goes. King can only go to e1, f1, g1 or g2. 1) If kf1, then Nxf3 with a brutal discovery check coming. If say white tries a counterplay with Ne2, then best play goes Nfxh2 check, Ke1 Qf2 check, Kd1 Nf3 and the white knight will be lost because Ne3 is coming with a devasting attack still on going. 2) If Ke1, then best play goes Qe3 check. If bishop or Knight blocks, then Nc2 check, followed by Nf2 check winning the queen. 3) If Kg2, then mate in 3 with Qxf3 check, Kh3, Ng2 check, Kh4, Qg4 mate. 4) If Kg1, then Qe3 check, followed by Qxf3 check with same mating pattern as scenario 3.
But you made your point. it would have been nice if Agadmator analyzed Qh1.
I love your videos. Your commentating doesn't annoy me like many other channels. I like when you give the viewer time to guess the move.
That is elegant. :) I love your commentary.
10:50 I think he can play Queen to H1 to support the bishop
Your use of English idiomatic expressions is quite remarkable. You are more eloquent in this regard than many native English speakers.
Huh
Again rewatching this game simply evergreen.
Very good analysis.👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
"The most poisonous rook that ever strolled the D-file." :-) :-)
Grant M You mean the E-File?

"Nothing is as healing as human touch" bobby fischer's last words
That was awesome! Never ever ever saw that coming!
I got into chess bc I’m working on a novel incorporates chess and one of the characters becomes a political strategist I guess but I realized I didn’t know a damn thing about the game. Now you are my favorite creator in all of TH-cam bc you enjoy making content that is both history and educational at the same time. You’re amazing man thank you for what you do
I would love to see the synapses in Renes brain firing off when he realized what happened
I'm a chess player, just for fun, and every time I watch a Fischer's game I feel something beyond in his moves. It's more than just logic and tactics. His moves contains a brutal invisible force that can crush the opponent's mental. @.@
even though the video quality and mic quality are lower, i love your passion for these games and and enjoyed how much effort you put into each of these videos. i love going back to watch your older videos, when you barely had subs :)
Its the way you pronounce „bishop“ and „pawn“ that keeps me coming back to this channel
Can someone explain the line for Queen h1 at 10:50?
it will lead to a long mate about 14 moves
Then Ng4+ and black can capture the bishop. And after a few moves black will win
Ng4+ followed by taking bishop for check as well
Im not very good at chess but how about after the queen H1 go rook e1... ??
He will lose his rock after exchanging queen with queen knight with bishop. The knight to f2 with check to king and attacking his rock
Toward the end of the video (in the hypothetical situation), why couldn't queen play h1 to defend the bishop?
(Although, I assume black would just play Ng4 in that case. And the king would be forced to block the Queen's path.
What would follow would probably be Qxf3 check. Kh3 and then Nf2 check forking the queen and king. I think that's best 🤔)
Ninnifier O.o good question was wandering the same thing
Yeah, Black plays Ng4+ again. Bishop can't take because of the pin, so king has to move. Only way to defend bishop is with Kg2, but that leads to checkmate in 2-3 depending on where King goes (One variation: Qxf3+, Kh3, Nf2+, Kh4, Qg4#). If the King goes to e1 or g1, Nxf3+ and black loses the Bishop with a tempo. If King goes to f1, Nxf3 and the bishop is still lost and the white queen is stuck on h1.
As what you said, if Qh1 then Ng4 and the king is forced to block queen's path, black will still get the bishop for free.
Qh8 not Qh1. Qh8, g5
