Bobby Fischer Makes Quick Work of Paul Keres || 1959. Candidates

[@WannesMalfait]

Yesterday i had a mini tournament. Luckily I managed to beat my oppponents psychologically with my knowledge of 1959 candidates.

[@myriadshalaks]

No ladies are safe around you

[@jeremyhulbert3343]

Through the 1959 Candidates Tournament, things you will see. Other places. The future....the past. Old friends long gone.

[@JoeBarron1027]

"hey ladies, wanna see my vast knowledge?"

[@The_Kirk_Lazarus]

Good for you. Was this held in a bar or a library?

[@briangerra5236]

I have a test on the 1959 candidates tomorrow and your videos are a life saver.

[@nigelfarage4119]

A test friom who?

[@nicolasjalon9063]

Test for which subject?

[@xRafinha]

It was a joke, fools haha

[@jontyvictor]

Your videos get better and better with a natural flow and fluent analysis. Thank you for giving me a 10 minute daily break.

[@martinprieto9713]

Damn Bobby, let the man castle!

[@SuedeStonn]

no

[@Timeless_Trader]

Ha ha ha... @BraiNDEAD. Bobby was such a hungry beast! He swallowed the Keres alive. Great Game!

[@DzahierulAliemy]

omg, i laugh so much on this

[@markongaro4319]

🤣🤣🤣

[@manigopal92]

Wow. I will remember that 1959 candidates scoreboard even in my dreams now !

[@gyokeres31]

I can't explain how good it was for our vast knowledge of the 1959 Candidates tournament. It is too amazing

[@Shockprowl]

Brilliant series. I love the photo of Keres and Fischer with Benko and the scoreboard guy looking on. Marvelous.

[@Anacronian]

A friend of mine told me about the 1959 candidates tournament, I was impressed.

[@spaceghost7807]

I would like to see more of Keres cause I know his wins are usually pretty instructional.

[@smhollanshead]

Oh what a time it was. A time of innocence. A time of Robert James Fisher confidences. Fisher was one of the greats in chess. I’m astounded by his game and blow away by his genius. I can’t believe there was such a player.

[@kikaze2000]

I think Fischer's disproportionate wins with black not just against Keres but most players when he was very young was due to the fact of is limited knowledge of opening lines. Since he insisted on opening e4 it was opening himself up to a zillion different possible defenses each with a zillion different lines. Instead when he played black he could more or less force white to play games he was more familiar with that led to more even positions were is creative middle game was on par or better than most players. I for one when I was young and played competitively always opened Nf3 limiting the options for black and reducing dramatically the number of openings I had to learn.

[@stopwritingthatreplyjohnat6638]

I would agree in part but I think it was mainly against the caro kann and the french. that's why I hate 1.e4

[@morfi3395]

Clear as mud and it doesn't make much sense too. E4 is just best by test which Bobby proved. And with black he was able to crush too no matter what opening they played. His theoretical knowledge was phenomenal.

[@MrSupernova111]

Fischer won a 20 game streak against the best players in the world at the height of his powers. I doubt he had "limited knowledge of openings." Fischer went as far as learning other languages to learn chess from foreign media. Fischer had an insatiable thirst for chess knowledge. I'm sure he knew opening theory as good as anyone starting from a young age.

[@martinprieto9713]

#suggestion bring back the 'What is this sorcery?' series, that featured some crazy games man!

[@denestomek9082]

6:30 Mate in 2 with sac the queen is a typical Agadmator move. For me Qxd1 mate in 1 is good enough. Otherwise: Keep working, this is the best chess channel, I love it!

[@slidenaway]

oh so white doesn't move after queen captures bishop? lol what a special version of chess you must be playing! To be clear, assume white moves the rook to the left anywhere. That's why you'd have to sac the queen then checkmate with the rook

[@mohammadwafiq4993]

*New to this tournament* good one!

[@Philopantheon82]

Legend says Keres still dreams of castling

[@sarthaksharma1783]

Great game agad, One of the finest attacking games by fisher

[@edmunddantes5657]

My hero,Iearned from his book ,got my love chess from him.The best ever for me,a chess God.

[@morfi3395]

Together with the other Chess God....Morphy

[@amitbharati8941]

Amazing game by fischer. Always a move ahead

[@st.jimmy0244]

I got the Qd5 move! First time I ever figured out one of Agadmator's "pause the video and see if you can find the move" moments. Stopped clocks and all...good analogy for my chess skills lol

[@devonmacdonald4439]

great videos learning a lot from you thank you!

[@terrapin52]

Great video! This was very interesting to watch!

[@mauricior.t.7098]

I love your channel agadmator, very entertaining! I wish you wouldn't give out the winner before the match starts, or in the video title, but it's still a great channel. Cheers!

[@andrejhendelja6227]

hello everyone!

[@agadmator]

:D

[@andrejhendelja6227]

Making "first" comments is a hard job but someone has to do it.

[@michaelbrent6099]

I was about to do this

[@dust9787]

hey, just you! how ya doing, how's ya mother?

[@ravindramaan1092]

As of this comment we have a totally new comment section on the video

[@WRARRior]

"1959 candidate's tournament" - Agadmator, 2018

[@chimimoryo2187]

AH YES ANOTHER FINE GAME FROM THE 1959 CANDIDATES TOURNAMENT, thank you agadmator, I fear the day in which we will cover them all and there will be none left.

[@QED_]

Total of 28 rounds. After 14 rounds: Keres (10.0), Tal (9.5), Petrosian (8.5). Tal then went (6.5/7.0) in the next 7 games . . .

[@JimKalpa-qd9zr]

They had no clue what was coming down the road.

[@CaradhrasAiguo49]

1:50 Almost as if the a7 were a Poisoned pawn. Of course, Fischer was not insusceptible to unjustified Queen movements in the opening, as we saw in the excellently narrated 1971 #CandidatesFinal Game 2 loss to Petrosian

[@nemrodbaterna345]

Hi Antonio That was like textbook lecture for a beautiful attack by Bobby, that's why your lectures is hardly missed here. Care Nemrod from tiny Saipan

[@2lazy2namebutwhatever21]

Another great video : ) I've been trying to catch up on videos I've been busy lately

[@kaushiktechno]

Great idea agad! Whenever you decide to cover Botviniik Tal world chess championship match 1960, do look for very sharp tactical combinations of Tal in most of the games in the match as there are plenty of them there!!!!!!

[@oni_thefirst]

The second I saw Bb5 I thought of Qd5, and when Agad said that it was the strongest move I was like HELL YEAAHH , I'M GOOOD!!

[@gfweis]

If Keres wasn't a little shaken by his first loss to Bobby in the prior tournament, surely he must have been a bit straightened up in his chair by this loss. Relentless Bobby.

[@AM-sp6je]

Don't upload so many videos man I got so much work :(

[@wescomone]

I disagree. I think the videos are short, clean and conscience. The analysis are always straight to heart of the features of the position.

[@AM-sp6je]

Wayne Smith absolutely. I love them. It's just that I'm addicted to them. I keep rewatching them and don't do anything else 😀

[@raygoldstein4133]

Boo Radley i

[@albusseverus5648]

Probably I will learn this tournament....

[@volodymyrgelfand7764]

at 8:37 it technically isn't a checkmate, because white can still block with a queen. But then, within a few moves there's a total carnage of remaining white pieces.

[@contactdavidfair]

Thanks dude, enjoyed this

[@mohamadhijazi9797]

Even though keres is one of my favorite players Bobby is spectacular

[@rggndfw]

Not only was Bobby relentless, he wouldn't even let the poor man castle.

[@alcoholfree6381]

You do such a great job! Sometimes I have a hard time following when you go through the variations but I’m slowly getting better. There are so many great games. It must have been scary playing Fischer? It was too bad that Fischer went strange and didn’t play longer. I could not understand that until I became an adult and found out personally how easy it is to lose your grip. Thanks 😊

[@Hrvojeatyoutube]

Bas sam analizirao Bobijevu Spanjolsku partiju sa Keresom sa kandidatskog turnira 1962 .Izvrsna partija.Hvala.

[@bobfree1226]

great pics agamator your the Best

[@likeyou3317]

3:15 What about Queen takes on d5? Then Bc6 and Qa5 protected by knight.

[@royalkelin]

The move I found was rook to e1, coming with check, forcing rook captures on e1, followed either by King captures bishop and rook c1 checkmate or king g2 checkmate, but this doesn't really work because of g2 immediately or bishop e2 after the dark square bishop recaptures the rook on e1

[@ahmadhissanfarrukh3954]

Pressed the like button before watching the video.

[@diorsesh]

Hey agadmator, Antonio Radic, or whatever you want me to call you. I wanna say thank you for uploading such entertaining chess content, while still being such a great person. I have schizophrenia, but your videos sometimes make my delusions easier to handle, so thank you. I hope one day you can live off of this. I'm already giving my speech about the 1959 candidates at home and about the pirate of Riga. -Andrew, a proud subscriber.

[@zacharycat603]

I didn't know this game but was glad to see it. actually i was looking for the game where keres sacrificed his queen but fischer refuted it.

[@joez203]

Keres never recovered from that ill-advised pawn grab early in the game.

[@Lazy.y]

Thanq agad ~

[@Bloodman42]

Just as I wanted to learn something new about 1959 candidates tournament

[@travism8597]

I paused the video for about 20 min and found that move correctly!!! YES!

[@malemmutum5049]

I'm a beginner and so happy that I figured out the move!!

[@JumpO89]

Found the move. Today was a good day!

[@mattbeckwith]

Amazing attack by Fischer.

[@clover4523]

Looking good Antonio!

[@denny1006]

Yes do that! Step by step! Chamionship match, then 1960.etc...

[@itskmillz]

I found it though without realizing it was a double attack. Just looked logical to attack the rook.

[@Rainbowhotpocket]

Hey man. Been around since about 15k subs. I really appreciate the analysis you provide. Keep it up and i hope my "likes" can somehow help you provide for your family!

[@Andyson986]

Not a checkmate on 08:35.

[@biljanakovacevic8232]

Odlicna partija,meni omiljena na turniru kandidata 1959.Interesantna je I partija Smislov vs Gligoric,gde je Gligoric pobedio Smislova na istom turniru..Mislim da je igrana kraljeva indijka..

[@Guzmicu]

If I'm not mistaken, you have not covered any of the immortals of Akiba Rubinstein. One of the most intriguing grandmasters of chess history.

[@michaelmendillo4614]

Bravo young man ! 😁🖒✌

[@williamalexander3731]

At 1:30, did you mean Keres goes for the London System?

[@exoplanet11]

Yes, Keres, with white, plays the London System here. Does anyone know of a game in which Fischer played the London system? It doesn't seem like his style...so it would be interesting if he ever tried it.

[@omariqbal7833]

It's like that one time he said that Tal resigned the game

[@agadmator]

Yes, sometimes I do that. My bad

[@williamalexander3731]

No problem, just making sure. Love your channel, thank you for the content.

[@Abram08KF]

at 5:21 after white queen captured the bishop, what happens when Bxe3 instead of Bxb2?

[@KabeloMoiloa]

What is black's response at 10:40 to Qe2? Black cannot check white with the dark square bishop as the king is on a light square. Also, there are two possible queen moves resulting in check, both cause black to lose the exchange. The natural response for a weak player like me is Rxe2, followed by Kxe2. I found Qe4+ as a response by black but the white king can flee to f1.

[@irnickkkknowles]

Bobby's opponents are always in time trouble which probably says a lot

[@fear1509]

At 8:38 he said rook to c1 check mate. Couldn’t Paul put queen to c2? And if rook captures Paul captures with king preventing checkmate. Please correct me if I’m wrong

[@lazaryoukhanna1851]

Did you mean defend it with Queen to d1? If so, It's checkmate because after you defend Rook to c1 with Queen to d1, you get Queen to c2, that's a double attack on the white queen and there's no defending it. If you capture the rook with the queen, then queen will capture queen with a check, the king moves and that wins the white rook as well. Queen vs Bishop endgame, black is completely winning

[@kettalyamine6968]

l love the quote ♥

[@ronaktali]

I wish we cover games from 1953 Zurich Inter zonal following the coverage of 1959 Candidates

[@jonwill]

Well presented.

[@armaanmalhotra9042]

🔥🔥🔥

[@MrMenDake]

the more agadmator videos i watch, the more I am curious about how do Shawn Wilcoxen, Johnathan Davis and Gregory Harfst look.

[@CerebralAssassin]

Qd5!!what a move!:)

[@boaconstrictor3754]

I'm an excellent player, I saw that queen d5 move without pausing.

[@andrewlivingstone5479]

ante juricev Me too!! 😁

[@davidbjacobs3598]

Wow! I didn't know Stephen Colbert and Ben Affleck were watching the 1959 Candidates Tournament. 0:58

[@ilyasmirnov1694]

Still waiting for the videos of games from Karpov-Kasparov 1984-85-86, e.g. the one called "White key symphony" is so beautiful, but unknown for the majority of viewers

[@ricflair4934]

I finally found a move that you requested, yaay :)

[@locutusdborg126]

Which candidates did Fischer dominate - 1960?

[@agadmator]

1971

[@locutusdborg126]

Wow. I hope you someday do a series on that candidates' tournament.

[@agadmator]

Of course I will :)

[@dust9787]

Another Very interesting game! gimme couple dozen Hello There! tees & hoodies assorted all black though nice game man

[@marianpalko2531]

11:01 Tal won the tournament. 12:04 Whoever won this tournament will face Mikhail Botvinnik.

[@ennshenn]

How do you say “And Tal resigns” in Croatian?

[@zarifshoeb]

Yesss I found the winning move !!

[@minhanhmaihoang90]

8:36 rc1 checkmate???

[@markwichman1319]

#suggestion can you teach us openings for a couple videos and different variations? Like an comment if you agree!

[@christianpaeznegron]

any advice on improving my endgame? what books or trainers can I use? im a beginner 1250

[@rezganger]

Thanks for sharing! I woulød very much like to see Fischers worst game ,to see what level that game is on!Maybe something u could make a video on? Cheers.

[@MrDannyg77]

It’s important to note Fischer’s age in your opening narration when you’re showing some of his early years games. In 59 he was around 16 years old. As Tal said Fischer wasn’t Fischer yet at that time.

[@morfi3395]

Duh.....still kicking them hard. If the rules were a bit more fair and the commies were not cheating.......Fischer could have placed higher or perhaps even became the youngest WC contender then.

[@solosaroman]

At the end mistake disade the outcome.all that presure could be avoided if Keres play bishop at g2

[@maxpower789z]

Cover a game from the 1959 Candidates Tournament...would be refreshing! #suggestion

[@eyto96]

Has anyone seen the movie on Bobby Fischer? And do you recommend it?

[@s.mendoza5705]

Erick Tapia pawn sacrifice? I liked it, it's definitely worth watching

[@philswiftreligioussect9619]

YES I FOUND THE MOVE I AM SUCH A GOOD PLAYER!! THE MOVE WAS D5

[@semiawesomatic6064]

4:40 why not Qb4?

[@edsoncezar20]

It is answered by Bf6 and you are simply down a piece

[@williamfrench3724]

Can you cover a patzer game?

[@jmtluimem6427]

10 thousands a week.. you're officially a monster.

[@dond2830]

Can you show Vassily Ivanchuk vs Wesley So / Tata Steel 2015 #

[@Nichtzukennen]

Which books about Chess do you recommend for beginners? I can always weasel my way through the opening and midgame but at the endgame I blunder very often and draw or lose when I have a winning position.

[@nikolapacker]

On 3:12, what's wrong with Qxd5?

[@michaelmaffei8139]

He was adding another defender to the d-pawn, i think

[@nikolapacker]

Qxd5 also protects the d-pawn. Queen can't get kicked arround, if black moves the lightsquare bishop , white trades queeens and castles and plays the endgame with two pawns up. Aslo, after Qxd5, black b-pawn is attacked.

[@WRARRior]

Also; I'm tormented at nights by what the Fat Chocobo means... I can't figure it out. I've never delved so deeply into final fantasy lore and how it may or may not relate to chess or a chess channel's actions.

[@agadmator]

All the clues are on the screen :)

[@monojitdhar1124]

3:00 can't this be countered with rook f to c1

[@lazaryoukhanna1851]

If rook f to c1, then queen captures rook on c1. Now if Keres captures the rook as well then Fischer captures the other rook and checks the king, the Fischer captures Keres' queen. After the exchange he's a whole rook up. And if Keres simply moves the queen away after Fischer captures rook on c1, then Fischer moves his queen away as well and he's up a whole piece (rook)

[@siddhantdash3902]

hey agadmator do a survey on who will win candidates 2018 tournament

[@joonanatanlepik9638]

Is not pawn to f3 the best move for Keres in 9.20?
