Bobby Fischer's OUTRAGEOUS Move Left Chess World SPEECHLESS!

[@davidmartin7163]

I love the background history of the game as opposed to an analysis of the single game. The story from 1955 preceding the Bobby Fischer game added depth to the story and made it way more interesting than just a single game. Great video!

[@squareonechess6939]

Thanks! I love this pre-engine era when opening theory was only a theory!

Without the history it's a pretty disappointing story. "Let me tell you an amazing line that often loses but one time ended in a draw..."

[@sharegreats2157]

Alexander Pasterniak beautifully described the story about that game Gligoric-Fischer 1958 in his Book "Chess phenomenon Bobby Fischer".

[@rulerffyt7285]

When every gm analysed it as a losing position and a 13 year old kid made it a wining position. Nah It's not a disappointing story your life is ​@@joshuafurr6084

Paul Keres was not Russian. Keres was born and raised in Estonia 🇪🇪. Estonia was invaded by the Soviets Russians at the beginning of WWII by Stalin.

[@squareonechess6939]

Thanks for the clarification -- when researching this story all my sources just referred to the 3 players as Russians.

[@kriskool3095]

I came here to say that 🇪🇪 Eesti vabariik!

[@hanswust6972]

You are wrong because you see the past with the eyes of the present. Keres was born in Parnu, a village belonging to the Saint Petersburg Oblast. Besides, the Soviet Union was a Political System established on the territory of Russia. The Czar was called the Emperor of All the Russias for Russia was not the name of the present day Russian Federation but of the whole country. Your mistake is typical of people with a bias and scarce knowledge of the historic reality.

Wow thanks! and Eggman is great ha ha ha -- good song too!

[@reefalefunk1244]

The fact all three games were in the exact same position is one of the reasons Fischer eventually gave up chess. Individuality and risk taking was missing from this era of chess and it took the advent of chess computers to really shake things up

I love that picture. Is that Tal in the middle row on the far left? I think that's Tigran Petrosian in the front row second to last on the left as well. Is that Paul Keres next to him? Is that Gligoric in the middle of the second row with the white collars? Of course that's young Bobby on the far right in front. I don't recognize the rest of these guys. This video reminded me of a beautiful game between Mikhail Tal and his coach Alexander Koblents that studies some Najdorf ideas: Mikhail Tal vs Alexander Koblents Riga (1961), Riga LAT Sicilian Defense: Najdorf Variation. Main Line (B99) 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 6. Bg5 e6 7. f4 Be7 8. Qf3 Qc7 9. O-O-O Nbd7 10. Be2 h6 11. Bh4 b5 12. e5 Bb7 13. exf6 Bxf3 14. Bxf3 d5 15. Nxe6 fxe6 16.

Nice history of the Argentinian tragedy, where the three argentinians lost the "mini match Argentina-USSR" with their home cooked variation. During the Geller game, Najdorf approached the table and whispered to Geller: " your game is lost, we had all this anayzed " . Then Geller uncorked B-b5!!, and looking at this, Najdorf ran back to his game. All three argentinian players were crushed. Thanks to his top six finish in the interzonal, Bobby not only qualified for the Candidates, he became the youngest GM at the time. By the way Geller was Ukrainian, and was considered to be one of the finest theoreticians of the openings.

[@krysarak]

Ukraine was part of the ussr back then, so Geller never thought of himself as Ukrainian, he was Odessan. And btw he was one of the few with a positive balance against Bobby Fisher.

The Korchnoi story was my buddy's, actually as an 'A' player, was paired round 1 vs GM Korchnoi in the '83 US Open in Pasadena, CA. All one section and Brian Zavodnik was crushed by the GM. Only to find out the next day (1 rd per day format) GM Larry Christiansen entered day 2 with a bye for rd 1. Well, Brian was at that place in the draw, he played Larry in the 2nd rd.
