A Queen for a King - One of my Favorite Bobby Fischer Games

[@Brooklyn_Raleigh]

“Hey Fischer, what did you think of e5” Fischer: “Weak” What a beautiful game by Fischer

[@michaelmendillo4614]

Thats always Fischers' reply whenever he is asked his opinion of an opponents move,,, lol,,,

Too slow too weak

[@logant44]

What I would do for at least a small explanation

[@Faust4541]

His quote at the top being "I am boring. I am boring!"

[@johnduncan5117]

That early e5 looks so enticing, but of course the point is your own king isn't safe yet so it's double edged

Bobby doesnt "give" his pieces, he loans them at 100% interest.

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.

[@WiseSam95]

@@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.

As a casual player I've been binge watching videos in an attempt to get better.

[@greggallucci607]

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?

[@iguoyrxayananikihs9505]

@@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.

​@@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.

[@soumajitsen1395]

After Qh1, I think you can just push g5 and g4 and win the bishop, 'coz white literally has no moves

[@skyhighvenus6311]

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.

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 🤔)

[@ameenamohamed942]

Ninnifier O.o good question was wandering the same thing

[@johndibaise198]

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

[@jx14aby]

That was awesome! Never ever ever saw that coming!

[@notjustadulting705]

Qh1 was also a move that Rene could've tried and possibly changed the game.

[@SteadmanKlondike]

That's what I thought, but Knight G4 is coming and you have to give up the bishop and and and...

[@videopetanque7436]

Yes Qh1 continues the game. agadmator should have analysed this

knight to g4 check will still win the bishop

[@skyhighvenus6311]

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.

Again rewatching this game simply evergreen.
