I'm only a teenager but I much prefer the talk shows of Cavett and Carson to those of Fallon or Kimmel. The only person today who is somewhat good at doing a talk show is Conan. He's very funny but doesn't have the same grasp on pacing that the greats do. I also don't particularly mind Steven Colbert. He's kind of engaging and he'll drop a good joke from time to time. Though nothing beats what was happening 40-50 years ago. Dick Cavett forever. (Also David Letterman is really great)

[@SThompsonRAMM_1203]

@@zacharylubin533 , not sure exactly how old you are in your teenage years but I was watching Dick Cavett when I was 12 and was lucky enough to see this when it aired as I was a huge Bobby Fischer fan and started playing (poorly I might add) at the age of 6. The Dick Cavett show was an extremely progressive talk show with guests that were popular in culture as well as very unpopular. Dick Cavett's show was known, even then, to be highly intellectual and in the end too intellectual for the common viewer. Well, at least to the critics. Dick Cavett's show was canceled even though the show was very popular. I'm thankful for these videos so we can see that there is more to learn from guests by letting them talk and say what they feel is important to say.

He was just tough to beat, and he knew it, and knew why as well..

[@eliasvonbrille]

He was almost 200 rating points above Spassky if I am not mistaken. The winner was pretty much determined before it started. There is no way someone can win a best of 12 or whatever it was in a game of chess where there is no luck involved if he is that much lower rated. Fischer knew that he couldn't lose if he Competes.

[@rishab0B]

@@eliasvonbrille 125 points and it wasn't a landslide. Bobby did lose a few games out of the 21 game match. Also Spassky had a winning record against Bobby before that competition 3 wins 2 draws.

@@hyzercreek he didn’t “go crazy”. He was always pretty caustic. He was pretty anti Semitic even in his younger days. You didn’t know about because we didn’t have instant access to everything back then. There is no denying his chess skill though. He is rightly considered one the best of all time.

[@fiandrhi]

I agree with what he says about the welcoming nature of the chess community. As near as I can tell, chess has remarkably little toxicity, especially compared with other gamers.

[@willbrechin9181]

The chess community is actually surprisingly toxic when it comes to new players. Just look up GM Ben Finegold insulting GM Hikaru for playing with famous streamers.

@Timmy L I'm saying Bobby isn't being disrespectful, but people of today feel some horrible need to interject their useless political commentary into every discussion.

Vale Bobby Fischer - Bobby was so great and watching this I sense that I like him as a person. Reading his life story recently in detail I wondered if he might have become a different person if he had even one real and selfless lifelong friend who stuck with him from an early age. He seemed to have lived a very lonely life. I wish I could have been that friend.

Even Einstein said that when he was having free time or sitting somewhere relaxing, things would just come up in his head and he would start writing them down. It's weird!
