15-year-old Bobby Fischer defeats Argentine Chess Champion

Featured is the game between Argentine Chess Champion Raúl Sanguineti and 15-year-old Bobby Fischer from the 1958 Portoroz Interzonal. In response to Sanguineti’s 4th rank pawn duo, Fischer coordinates his pieces to not only reinforce his kingside, but also cover his most sensitive square d5. After cycling through this 25-move game a few times, something grabbed my attention. What does Sanguineti do on more than one occasion that Fischer does not do through the first 20 moves?

Wow.! Just wow! How on earth you were able to make this analysis..I'm a fan of Bobby and a Najdorf afficionado and i know white has too many options against it and this is one of them. Your explanation is so crystal clear that despite the complexity of the Najdorf, you made it so simple for us to comprehend..which resulted me appreciating the strength of the Najdorf, this game is a gem, and realizes how strong Bobby was. Thank you man. God Bless.

Glad you enjoyed it. 👍

Thanks Jerry!

Jerry, I don't know if you read comments, but I thought I'd tell you that you sound like a really good man.

Thank you 👍

Raul had to be sanguine about losing to a teenager.

[@bluefin.64]

Fischer was already US Champion, so Sanguineti knew he was a threat and probably underrated. I bet it still galled him, though. 🙂

Thanks Jerry, you are uploading lots of GM game analysis these days which is very good. Really appreciate your efforts

[@grouchomcgrouch4150]

Thanks Jerry, always happy to hear your thoughts and insights, I learn so much from them

[@brennenhiatt8459]

Bobby really bullied all these Argentinian champions

[@travisnobleart]

Please look at the amazing game Fischer vs Anderson 1970. In the entire 43 moves, Fischer only makes 2 retreating moves and one of them is a recapture. It was through this extraordinary game alone, I realized this powerful aspect of Fischer's play.

[@travisnobleart]

Also, I've just found there is Carlsen Vs Abdusattorov in the World Rapid 2022. Carlsen plays similar lines, but only needing to make just one retreating move the entire game! Birds of a feather...

Good grief, Fisher had such vision. Thanks Jerry.

For once I would like to see a game of Fischer where he is outplayed! The man was a beast!!

[@ForteGX]

I recommend reading Fischer's My 60 Memorable Games. It includes some losses and Fischer doesn't shy away from the analysis.

[@arizthaimoor543]

[@plusplusplus9837]

I thought the answer was making rook moves… I guess there’s a reason I’m not as good as Fisher!

[@WtItCbtLoR]

Thank you, Jerry.

[@RicardGomes76]

97% accurate. No AI. TY GM!

[@jeffersonthomas1269]

The black knight on c5 could have been challenged with Na4 at 8:49 and move 21, The black knight is preventing the rooks from forking the Q and King of black with white Rd7. Thus it can not move. What is the answer ? The black bishop can be the victim of the rook fork if the Queen leaves to recaptures after a knight capture on c5.

[@gm1590]

Black has Bxe4 as Nxc5 Qxc5 is check.

[@kevinmalone3210]

After losing, the Argentine champion goes home, has a few drinks, then starts pounding his fist against the nearest wall, and starts shouting, "Never again, never again, never again!"

[@joemsa]

Thank you.

[@fuzbuzz00]

8:30 I love getting the pop quizzes right. My first thought was "In this position, black has made significantly more pawn moves" and usually a high number of pawn moves results in a number of pawn-and-piece exchanges, OR one side retreats, giving the other side space. After 20 moves, only 2 pawns and one bishop is missing from each side, and given the state of the board, even without knowing what the action was beforehand, you can conclude that white did a lot more retreating/rotating than black.

[@edntz]

Could white not have put the rook on D4? Sure blacks pawn would take the rook but then he can take the knight on f4 in return. Better to trade a rook for a knight, than to lose a clean rook imo.

[@RMF49]

He exchanged the R for N in the game.

[@uniktbrukernavn]

10:12 Interesting that the computer suggests kh1 at 4:06. Such a simple, boring move.

[@grantcivyt]

I was also surprised but mainly because it's in the bishop's line of sight

[@fuzbuzz00]

When you have multiple pieces in tension with one another, you want to remove as many checks on your king as you can. Checks are how you lose material to tactical shots
