Comment + like for algo. Great work by Viktor the Terrible. He had an even score with Fischer. Tough stuff

[@RaineriHakkarainen]

Korchnoi was a late boomer.Korchnoi his best years were from 1973-1984.Korchnoi won at age 52 years old in 1984 super grand master tournament a scoring rating about 2900 points.Only Lasker in New York at age 56 years old have may be better rating score of the 50s older players.Lasker beat the chess machine winning that New York tournament

It's interesting that Fischer used the Pirc in his match vs Spassky 1972.

[@DeuceGenius]

Wow this popped up on my recommended. Been so long. Gonna watch all these againe

[@HegelsOwl]

I'd forgotten that game. You did an excellent presentation. Thank you very kindly, sir.

[@dynasty4851]

Damn I love this opening. I'm glad someone beat Fischer with the pirc.

[@Radix.Strategy]

Very instructive, thank you sir LOVED the quotes in the beginning, perfect! .. "extent of [their] madness"

[@QDem19]

Thanks - I liked the quotes you had on the side!

[@stolenhandle]

Well delivered. Thank you for this.

[@gerrytol]

"Korchnoi is known for soaking up attacking resources"... Ha! Thanks for posting this beautiful Korchnoi game. I think Korchnoi became the true anti-soviet cold warrior with his two matches v. Karpov while the KGB was harrasssing his family.... well i'm just a Korchnoi fan what can i say

[@1Ma9iN8tive]

Wow - I loved this game. Thank you.

[@beloglavisup2]

Korchnoi, Taimanov, Reti, Keres, Unzicher and Bogoljubov were GMs tha never became world champions. Never the less, Louis Paulsen was really good GM as well

[@kingscrusher]

Thanks I thought maybe I had gone overboard a bit - but as long as they are in the Player Bio chat part of the video, I am not sure they do any harm for optional content to check out.

[@gerrytol]

hmm that would be a metaphor for Korchnoi's formative years experience during the seige of leningrad? Watching red army: "soaking up attacking resources"? This might become my new motto.

[@CheekyVimto08]

Your questions and explanations are always helpful. I think I found every key move in this one.

[@matjazmazi8405]

"Peertz" is a correct pronunciation of Pirc !... ( Vasja Pirc - Slovenian GM ).

[@dharpbend2801]

Mighty Fine...much appreciated

[@buffguy86]

i like korchnois quotes on the side

[@tonykora1715]

wt a mad game. thank you Sir.

[@dannygjk]

Korchnoi was one of the GM's who thought Fischer would have won in 1975.

[@kingscrusher]

I had to re-upload this one in case anyone is confused - a little bit of editting was needed. Cheers, K

[@AhmedSharata]

thank you

[@nicholasgranat2999]

I'm surprised he opened his king position like that

[@kingscrusher]

"Christer Nilsson 18 minutes ago At 10:38, doesnt white win with bh6? " ... Good resource attempt and something I considered too, but just Qxb2 saves black here with advantage.

[@jozefserf2024]

Pillsbury and Sultan Khan too were very strong talents.

[@kevinserafin5237]

Amazing game.

[@manuelodabashian1089]

Didn't think fisher would be beaten like that by Korchnoi even though he was a wonderful player

[@kingscrusher]

Nice one :)

[@danielgautreau161]

Analysis at 16:23 Black has ... Qb1+ / Qg1, QxQ+ / RxQ, a2.

[@kimw200blaze4]

I think it is one of the great tragedies of World Chess was that Viktor never became the World Champion. It is good to see the Pirc played at this level. However, this game has probably been analysed at the highest levels. Kasparov has said that the Pirc is not worth using at the highest levels.

[@kingscrusher]

Just Bxf6 I think because Rxg6 fxg6 Nxf6 seems hopeless for white. E.g. Re6 coming next as well as e3 if needed.

[@noidelaplatja]

Don't forget Vassily Ivanchuk. Kasparov says he is the stronger player never to become a WC

[@MrMorlaf]

Qc6, Qc4, Qa4 is amazing.............

[@buzzclark]

Hi. Question: Would the Gurgenidze System have been better against the f4 variation (Austrian Attack)? Thank You.

[@nathancobb6050]

You know I really respect Magnus he is a true champion Tip of my hat to a true champion but Fischer is my fav too bad he went off into the deep end mentally

[@ronwilliams357]

I hate when chess tutorials ask you to pause and find the amazing move (like at 06:20). If Bobby Fischer couldn't find that amazing move, how would any of us patzers?

[@erwinjoseph1600]

😂😁😂

[@veruslupus]

I was under the impression Keres was regarded as the strongest player ever not to be champion?

[@TheZombieSlayerWave]

yeah he was

[@Socrates...]

can you annotate the game Korchnoi played against Polgar?

[@tastybrain]

Question: At 14:27ish, Qg6 why not Bf6+ with a revealed attack on the Queen? Seems to be winning the Queen.

[@TheRomanianWolf]

Winning the queen... but 2 rooks + a lot of free pawns worth more then a queen + knight. White will LOOSE after winning the queen.

[@GiacomoCalabrese]

Nice

[@b9humor]

So what? What if White plays B-f6 check @ 14:27? How does Black respond?

[@TheRomanianWolf]

Bishop takes, only move.

[@RaineriHakkarainen]

Korchnoi his move a5 was a home preparation(it was not Korchnoi`s own some his coaches or some one gave his the a5 move.And the move Bxg4! wa not a difficult one my old computer from 1992 solved it 1.50 minutes.Korchnoi did not selected this game in his book my best games as black.Korchnoi knew that it was his home work and a novelty a5 which beat 19 year old Fischer.Korchnoi would had liked the tough fight game not beating by home analysis

[@gerrytol]

what a slippery queen

[@HoodiesanSnapbacks24]

kingscrusher must really not like bobby fischer lol

[@dmaster20ify]

Why they acting like Fischer just desimated the Russians

[@dannygjk]

because he did. btw it's spelled decimated.

[@CaptainAndrewWiggins]

wooooooooooooow bobby fischer actually lost??!?!?!

[@logant44]

Korchnoi was no joke!

[@stupidpdj]

I seem to be a fan of the weakest variation of the weakest gambit of the WEAK opening!

[@pardeepnegi9086]

i m the weakest player not to become a world champion

[@logant44]

Pardeep Negi I’m the strongest player to disagree with your statement

[@krapulaaudet1927]

gxf5, just mocking..

[@jamesking1550]

Stop talking.

[@InquiringJoe]

:)

[@timclark6439]

[@mikkelskjoldan1291]

How Can Yo be the best player if you lost candidates to Karpov.

[@mikkelskjoldan1291]

There are 3 Kasparov, Fisher. And Karpov.

[@mikkelskjoldan1291]

And Morphy of, course ..

[@mikkelskjoldan1291]
