The commentary is great though. And you're treating Larsen respectfully. As a Danish person, who had Bent Larsen as a childhood hero, sometimes "Fischer-Larsen '71" video commentaries can be a bit hurtful to watch.
Why are you not the most popular Chess channel ? I subscribe to several of the top names. But your videos convey the knowledge in an easy and entertaining way to understand. Agamantor is darn good too but I think you slightly edge him out. Plus your vocal delivery and emphasis help steer the consumption of the concepts you're explaining down the mental hatch. I've been watching your videos for months and just wanted to compliment your wonderful style. Please don't stop .... You make chess interesting and fun to learn. And I say thankyou!!!
LOL. Nobody forgets it, it's mentioned at every opportunity, and it isn't even true. Fischer was actually the best-booked player of his generation. He didn't write the books, he just absorbed them better than anyone else. Not since Steinitz, if not earlier, could any champion claim to have done it all himself. It is true that Fischer was the last of the so-called "Old School Champions", who worked mostly without a large entourage, and one of the last one to work without computer assistance. The Old School Champions definitely cut a more heroic figure than the modern ones, but they also don't win very often, which is why nobody plays that way today. Fischer-Spassky was the last hurrah for that crowd.
Fischer always put heavy pressure on opponents. He played the sharpest lines with both colors, and played extremely quickly. He could play positionally, tactically, and was an endgame monster. He towered above his rivals like no one else in modern times.
Well stated sir. He could play all aspects of chess better than anyone around and indeed he played extremely quickly. He was once asked why he never got into time trouble? He replied: "Then it isn't chess anymore!!" Wow, what would Bobby think about all the "time increments" today. Wait, What?Adding time to your clock while you are playing!? I wonder if he would again say: "Then it isn't chess anymore!!" Here's a thought: Bobby (in his prime!) vs Hikaru in BULLET! I think Bobby would love Bullet Chess!! Imagine how the pieces would fly!!!
FIDE Chess just posted a video where they asked this year's candidates What historical player from the past would you most like to play? 10 out of 14 said Fischer. Nepo said Alekhine.😮
By making the Candidates a set of matches instead of a tournament they get the ultimate challenger used to playing matches so they have a better chance in the championship match, whereas in the tournament format the only match they play is the championship one. This favors the champion who already has one match experience at the highest level. I think this advantage is worth at least 1/2 a point. Bring back the Candidate Matches!!
All of y'all complaining about that little mistake on the screen when he clearly says Fischer is black and does commentary as if Fischer is black. For such a small mistake on screen all of y'all need to get over yourselves. It in no way takes away from the scope and context of the video.
@@Josh-c2d The aggressiveness in this comment is very telling of your demeanor in life. The video was excellently commentated. My suggestion to you is not to be so hard on yourself. You are human. Enjoy life and bring life to others and not death.
@user-px2dr2kn4v The fact that you act this entitled over something you're getting for free says an awful lot about you as a person. Plus you're being very unkind to someone who's sharing his knowledge of chess with us here. Be better.
Fischer beat the weakest chess World champion Boris Spassky only 17 wins 10 losses! Capablanca would beat Spassky easily 8 wins 6 draws zero losses! Carlsen would beat Spassky easily 6 wins 6 draws zero losses! Carlsen 100xtimes better than blunder maker Spassky so Carlsen would win 30 times against Fischer!
Hi, I enjoy your videos. I would encourage you to be a bit more even in the rhythm with which you display moves. Sometimes you'll show 2-3 moves during the time you normally use to show only one, which requires me to hit the rewind button - not pleasant.
If Fischer doesn't have the mental endurance or whatever required to hold the world title over multiple years, wouldn't Karpov, Kasparov, Carlsen, and Anand rank higher than Fischer?
It depends on what you're measuring. Fischer's reign was definitely shorter than Anand, Kasparov, and Carlsen's, but no player has ever been so far ahead of his contemporaries as Fischer was when he was at his best. Not even Carlsen or Kasparov. The gap wasn't anywhere near as big.
No. Carlsen wasn't world champ as long as Lasker. So by your logic, Lasker is better than Magnus. We all know this isn't true. Bobby came to the same conclusion as Magnus. Just much faster.
@@anderslarsen4412 uh, just trying to get some decent content. Ya know because we're supposed to care about this stuff. But you go ahead and keep being an ass, contributing nothing in the process.
@@cccc9299Fischer was not 3000! Fischer his best tournament score only 2990! The highest tournament elo rating score is Fabiano Caruana 8,5/10 StLouis 3100!!Karpov 11/13 Linares 1994 elo score 3040!

How stupid Arpad Elo got this wrong SD=282,8 So we get 200x200+200x200=80000 and we get square root 80000 is 282,8! Jeff Sonas chess metrics founder used wrong SD=166?? We can not trust Arpad Elo or Jeff Sonas!!
The image at the bottom right is obviously incorrect. Fischer has the black pieces in this game.
The commentary is great though. And you're treating Larsen respectfully. As a Danish person, who had Bent Larsen as a childhood hero, sometimes "Fischer-Larsen '71" video commentaries can be a bit hurtful to watch.
Noticed the switched names too. But it's so obvious that ots not distracting.
Good analysis!

Been loving these fischer vids. People today still don't understand how ridiculous fischer was. Thanks for shedding some light on the subject.
People forget what an incredible achievement it was for Bobby to win the title and defeat the entire Soviet Chess system by himself.

The players exchanged pieces, but they forgot to change seats. 😂

@@FischerFan-cw7rg Bobby invented the increment when he invented the Fischer Clock. So he could not complain.
Great video, as usual. Keep it up, please, you're one of the best chess channels, if not the best one!
Great game! Thank you.
I think you got your colours mixed up on the game details at bottom right of screen. Fischer was playing Black.
Great, fantastic and immortal Bobby Fischer!!! Respect forever!!! 👍👍👍
That ending was a pile on! Wow. Domination
Greatings from Argentina! Thank you very much for the analysis and for to bring us the memorie of the greatest player of all ages!
It just occurred to me that those events were more than 50 years ago. Of all those heroes of those days, only Spasski is still alive.
FIDE Chess just posted a video where they asked this year's candidates What historical player from the past would you most like to play? 10 out of 14 said Fischer. Nepo said Alekhine.😮
#1 Fisher, close 2nd Tal.
Nepo being the black sheep, gotta love the guy.
Recently found your channel. Loving your content!
i love to watch these videos at 2 in the morning, honestly make my day lol.
2:08 am here
Yep 😂
Great game! Your channel is excellent!
I wonder how much Larsen’s decisions were influenced by the fact that he was already down 3-0

Robert Fisher is my favorite chess master! He was my hero the time my country was under communist dictatorship!
I always enjoy your commentary
Great video.
Dear John,thanks for your clear explanation.without which it would mostly be Greek and Latin for me.!
Thanks too much ❤
0:15 -- how could he have won 6.5 - 2.5 against Petrosian, when a score of 5.5 is enough to qualify you through ??
.
In the Taimanov and Larsen matches one needed 5.5 to win. Since the Petrosian match was the final candidates match the requirement was 6.5.
Total destruction
He IS the greatest..
Big fan of your content. As a joke, next time you flip the board you should say “ In case Mike Hummer walks in.”
I thought this was going to be about Fabi Fischer, not Bobby Fischer
What a game.

Wrong. For all the resources out there, the absolute very least a chess commentator can do is get the very least correct.

i thought Fischer had the lite pieces??
You didn't capitalise "I" or spell "light" correctly.

His previous incarnation as Paul Morphy was greater. Apart from that no USA-ian can be the best at anything.

I would love to see Fisher and Magnus in time machine..... ?????🤔🤔

@@RaineriHakkarainen those are tangibles. Intangibles are immeasurable so your opinion is moot
Hey Chess dawg. Great content but I think you may need to do some editing on this one.
It says Fisher white/Larsen Black.
Just a heads up.
Another series of games where Larsen gets destroyed.
Games even harder when your rooting for the wrong color.
mistake showing fishers name having white...
Got confused
"The best of the best"!!! 👑🔥♟️🙏❤️

You forgot Taimanov 6-0

Man, too much too much of Fisher.
Was Fischer black? You are speaking more energetically, speaking louder and more clearly, much better.
Fischer was Black
@@mohammadnaufal1027 Thank you. The video graphic said he was white.
