Children with Candy | Spassky vs Fischer | (1972) | Game 13

[@spaceghost7807]

This seriously is the most epic match ever. Fischer promoting to a queen, a pawn sacrifice, to get a shot at winning the match because Spassky was so low on time. And him play the end game so excellently after all that home prep.... This is amazing amazing chess. Knowing the history leading up to it too! Thank you Antonio. You're such a fucking awesome commentator, and your hard work and passion for these matches is really inspirational.

[@FirstPlace97]

There never was a queen promo though

[@alienrenders]

@FP: There most certainly was a queen promotion.

While Fischer dashed for his car, Spassky remained glued to his seat. A sympathetic Lothar Schmid came over, and the two shifted the pieces about with Boris demonstrating his careless mistakes. The two were left wondering how Bobby could have squeezed a win from a position which a night of competent analysis by a renowned Soviet team had showed to be a guaranteed draw.

[@FutbolShortsFC]

The reason he squeezed a win was because of not finding c4 taking with Tempo

[@SelfReflective]

Botvinik called this game “Fischer’s greatest creative achievment.”

Chief arbiter Lothar Schmid must have aged 10 years over the course of this match. Give this man a medal.

Here Fischer actually has 5 passed pawns so that's... that's really a lot.

Fischer getting 5 passed pawns is like an anime character whipping out a rocket launcher that fires a ridiculous volley that closes in on the hapless victim from every direction at once. There is no defence.

[@Driulinkin]

The thing that's so fascinating about this world championship is that Spassky was an absolute unit, dominating the game, and then comes Fisher and makes him shiver in his boots with a level of play never seen before.

[@mikepatrick1904]

This is the prettiest endgame I have ever seen. Thanks.

[@PankajMishra29037]

This was Fischer's best game in the world championship, better than symphony of placid beauty (game 6). Spassky could not believe that he had lost the game. Audiences thought they were shaking hand as game was drawn. Whole Soviet team analyzed adjourned game entire night and a draw was guaranteed by them. This really shows Fischer's superiority over chess players of that era.

[@NationalSportsEntertainmentNSE]

Before that they actually thought the handshake was a Bobby resignation I believe. I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure they were positive Bobby “blundered” away the Game.

[@TheQ-Continuum]

This was (for me) the best game of the match. It was the longest, most complicated and difficult game of the match. Fischer strained every sinew and took this ending to it's limits, which was typical of his style. Neither player played it with the accuracy that the position demanded - how could anyone ? This type of ending would blow a fuse, even with the strongest chess program:

[@nuggetlover9431]

[@johnmarlin7269]

I remember this game well. I watched the PBS feed with Shelby Lyman giving analysis, and the next morning played through all of the moves published in the Minneapolis Tribune about three or four times, and I waited with bated breath for the sealed move to be revealed ... Great analysis, as always; I now understand better what was going on. Five passed pawns! Amazing.

[@atulkotwal]

I wonder Mountain Everest would have been best venue for Fisher to play this match. No audience can reach there and camera will not work in -40 degree temperature.

[@manuelper]

ha ha, legit made me laugh.

[@droceretik]

How did Sir Edmund Hillary take images on the summit of Mount Everest?

[@kasparov9]

He'd complain that it's freezing, then they'd take it down to base camp and he'd complain about too many people and too much noise. Remember it has to suit what Fischer wants, fuck everyone else.

[@StahliCell]

Thanks for the free laugh :D :D

[@theF1oracle]

It was at this moment, spassky resigned the game. Why did he resign the game ? Well, it's pretty difficult to continue the game with your right hand frozen to your king, it's not ideal in a game of this magnitude

[@edog5707]

Fischer is the GOAT... No engine to learn from back in those days. tge amount if mental energy to figure this outvis amazing.

"You don't have to use all night figuring out the move" hehehe, character The sacrifices were just beautiful. The bishop sacrifice with so many passed pawns, pawn sacrifice for King to play. The sacrifice of time to tune in to this channel. Well well worth it

[@humanrightsadvocate]

Fischer's requests were always astonishing: no cameras; move the audience back, no candies for the children; make me Icelandic citizen and so on and so forth.

[@boxingjerapah]

Pretty much every time... "Spassky has a different idea" .... results in a passive move ...

[@larrylindgren9484]

It was like he was playing not to lose. I guess he could have drawn to a win after Fisher handed him 2 games. It sure seems that's what he was trying to do most games. Fisher just countered a beat him instead. Not letting him play for draws.

[@bushbarnes]

You are the best chess commentator. Not too long not too short.

[@pannikattak7533]

Black (Fischer) on move 8... a7-a5! One of the most amazing moves I have seen. I would have never have figured out what Fischer had in mind until I saw his next 4 moves.

[@sillyk6688]

Spassky asked how Bobby could win with his only rook trapped, but the comment ignores that Spassky’s bishop is also effectively trapped by trapping the rook, and more significantly, Bobby had FIVE passed pawns. “That’s a lot” is putting it mildly. Spassky seemed to make several wasted moves in the end game and it’s because he didn’t seem to consider there was even a threat. Bobby taught him, and indeed the world, that there may be threats you aren’t perceiving.

[@hyzercreek]

20:55 rook to d1 is move 69. Brady says "On the 69th move, obviously exhausted, Spassky blundered. When he realized his mistake, he could barely look at the board, turning his head away several times in humiliation. Fischer, after moving to collect Spassky's gift, sat back in his chair, staring at the Russian, studying him. For a long moment, he didn't take his eyes off Spassky. There was just a bit of compassion in Fischer's eyes...."

[@mcconlogue1898]
