Bobby Fischer was a record-setting chess master who became the youngest player to win the U.S. Chess Championship at 14, and the first American-born player to win the World Chess Championship.
Bobby Fischer was born on March 9, 1943, in Chicago, Illinois. Fischer first learned the game of chess at age 6 and eventually became the youngest international grand master at the age of 15. In 1972, he became the first American-born world chess champion after defeating Boris Spassky. An eccentric genius, who was believed to have an I.Q. of 181, Fischer became known for his controversial public remarks in his later years. He was granted Icelandic citizenship in 2005, following legal trouble with the United States. He died on January 17, 2008.
Early Life
Robert James Fischer was born in Chicago, Illinois, on March 9, 1943. Fischer's parents divorced when he was a toddler, and he began learning chess at the age of 6 after his older sister Joan bought him a chess set. He continued to hone his skills as a youngster at the Brooklyn Chess Club and Manhattan Chess Club. Fischer had a strained relationship with his mother, who supported his chess endeavors, but preferred that he pursue other areas of interest.
A brilliant, highly competitive player who lost himself in the game, Fischer earned a place in the record books at age 14 when he became the youngest player to win the U.S. Chess Championship. Then in 1958, at 15, he became the youngest international grand master in history by winning the related tournament in Portoroz, Yugoslavia (now Slovenia).
Match of the Century
During the early 1960s, Fischer continued to be involved in U.S. and world championship matches, but was also making a name for himself with his erratic, paranoid commentary. After having a 20-game winning streak in the early 1970s, Fischer once again made chess history in 1972 with his defeat of the Soviet Union's Boris Spassky at the Reykjavik, Iceland world championships, thus marking the first time an American chess player had won the title. Fischer's defeat of a Soviet opponent, which became known as the "Match of the Century," took on iconic proportions in the midst of the Cold War and was seen as a symbolic victory of democracy over Communism. Fischer's historic win also made chess a popular game in the United States.

So there is one thing in common between Bobby Fischer and myself: we make moves not considered by grandmasters!

[@hammondvoodoo9555]

The fact that Bobby reached 2785 ELO in 1971 while no other player was in the 2700-range explains his superiority when he played the other top 10 players. The way Fischer played the candidates matches in 1971 made it clear that Spasski's reign will be a short one (the gap between Fischer and 2nd place Bent Larsen was 3 1/2 points!). Interestingly he had never beaten Spasski until game 3 of their 1972 world championship match, playing the Modern Benoni!

[@derventio2860]

Most of the top GM's back then would be 2700 plus now. .It's called chess ratings inflation. Fischer would be on another planet regarding ratings if playing now in his 20's/30's. There's inflation in ratings just as in money ect...

[@UnleashTheGreen]

Derventio all things being equal, do you think fischer would dominate carlsen?

[@masterxiangqi]

yes

[@paulsummerfield6357]

Leading up to the match with Petrosian in 1971,he had a rating of 2800+ during the candidates tournament of that year during a 20 game winning streak! Imagine that today,it would be unthinkable. Give him an engine like today's players and he would have been over 2900 in my opinion.

[@derventio2860]

a 25 year old Fischer given access to the net and engines would be beyond any player alive now.

[@pelida77]

My father saw Fischer once. He told me he was a very lonely man. In the Chess Club dinner room he used to sit with a chessboard, analyzing positions, all day, in a very long table (made for 12 people but he was all there by himself), nobody would sit with him. He'd become so absorbed with the game, that forgot to use the cutlery and eat spaghetti from a bowl with his very own hands... All the players admire him but nobody dare to speak with him (he was famous for being quite rude)... I don't know why this image of the Genius, deeply thinking and at the same time eating like an animal :) stick with my dad (and also through his tale with me)

[@bennysaravi149]

In fact he was a polite person and good looking.He just lived in his own world and could not stand all those people who tried to have his autograph and photograph or interview him.

[@aaronsmith6632]

Let's not forget that Fischer had autism.

[@jairofonseca1597]

He was a little mad.

[@yeeyoh]

This all makes me think of how interesting it would be if the Bobby Fischer experience was going on in the days of instagram/twitter.

[@lbvprasad5495]

Dear Mr Pelida Duli, You father is a great man to have seen another great man BOBBY FISCHER. All of us wish that he rather approached and said Hello to Bobby. Surely Fischer would have happily responded with his polite HELLO and shook hands as well. Anyway thanks for informing the world. All the best!!!!!

[@joedorben3504]

One of the largest reasons why I think Bobby Fischer is the greatest player ever is because of how he was consistently able to manhandle and actually defeat Petrosian, not many other players played as well against Petrosian on as consistent a basis as Fischer did

[@pabzdc9539]

i love this. by creating isolated pawns in the middle game, one can create weaknesses in the pawn structure which will later affect the game in the end game. wow.

[@myopenmind527]

Incredibly deep play by Fischer, on a completely different level. Petrosian had no clue that he was lost.

[@howardsmith9342]

I saw Fischer once, too. I was at the American Open in 1972, and he walked into the tournament room during one of the middle rounds. He was fresh from his victory over Spassky, and I remember he had on a red suit with a green shirt. He got mobbed and only stayed a few minutes.

[@jessejordache1869]

I love this game - it's ironically a lot like the Fischer-Tal game in round 13 of the 1959 candidates tournament. One player dominates the other so completely that you can see the iron logic of each move. (I personally like this game a little bit more because of 22.Nxd7!, and the descriptions of the reaction from the press room when they saw that move).

no one could have beat bobby in the 1970 seventies -matured and the greatest that i ever saw. no one could best him then in any series. not carlsen,kasparov no one.

[@kasparov937]

Bob Free So because Spassky couldnt beat him Kasparov and Carlsen couldnt too? Nice logic. Fischer's opponents were much stronger than Kasparov.and Carlsen....not.

[@kasparov937]

Bob Free Remember Karpov beat Spassky 4-1 in the 1974 candidates, better than Fischer's 7-2 vs Spassky in 1972. Don't tell me Karpov would not have given Fischer problems.

[@kasparov937]

Bob Free It's hard to beat Fischer when he didnt play a single game as Champion and ducked the 1975 match.

[@barracuda7018]

Fischer in 1971- 72 was the greatest player ever !! Even Carlsen openly admitted that this was the case ...

[@barracuda7018]

Karpov wouldn't stand a chance against Fischer in 1975 ... Karpov barely survived a prolonged battle against 47 year old Kortchnoi in Manila 1978 .. Many experts say that in the game 32 Kortchnoi made a big mistake by choosing Pirc defence e4-d7 had he played French defence ( he is an expert in this one ) e4-e6 instead he could have won the game and the championship .. Had Fischer decided to play with the same focus, intensity and fanatic approach to chess nobody could have beaten him until 1984 ... He would have beaten Karpov in 1975, 1978 and 1981..

[@jerimmybendle1648]

this dude is cool keep it up as native I like storys

[@petrabanjarnahor229]

Petrosian lost because of defending a pawn.

[@tohnic441]

If he let the a-pawn go he wouldn't have been able to stop the a and b connected passed pawns :P

[@jefflittle8913]

I would agree. Two passed pawns that can protect each other with the King locked on the other side? I would imagine you would have to sacrifice a larger piece to clean those up.

[@frankenstein01]

30. after kd2, a6-a5 :) nb6 was probably his worst move of the game

[@joedorben3504]

If he stopped defending the pawn and gave it up he wouldve lost even worse.

[@joseparra1097]

Would have lost either way giving up that pawn is like resigning the game

[@bigboyxxxXxxx]

thank you so much, what do you think of a fischer vs morphy match? who would win? it would take some "mad" skills to beat either one

[@ansoncjm]

I'm Getting Deja Vu. Nice Video

[@lbvprasad5495]

Bobby Fischer was not a chess player - He was a chess magician....able to do the impossible tricks which even grand masters' brains could not comprehend. Had he continued his play, he would have whipped many more asses in the world of chess championship play. He was a messenger of god specially sent to the chess world. His lack of defending his title rematch with Anatoly Karpov is still regretted by all his fans throughout the world.

[@kasparov937]

Lbv Prasad Unfortunately he didnt, was more afraid of losing his title than anything, with that prospect would rather forfeit the title. Thats not a true chess champion, I dont know what you would call that. Coward?

[@michelangeloadamantiel7685]

My first thought was to play Nxd7 and then said to myself, "Oh that's probably not the move cus I thought of it."

[@rogerl9877]

Hello, my suggestion is for Mr. Agadmator to type the time in the video the move he is reffering to is displayed, instead of typing the number of the move (22). Thanks.

[@leslassiter6378]

It did not occur to me because I thought the knight was stronger than the bishop.

[@zainierizal3807]

i think so

[@thephilosopherofculture4559]

In my view, Fisher was not "one of the strongest players in the history of chess", as you say, but THE strongest player. We stsill marvel at his games and also, we should not forget how he played against Nigel Short where he started with seemingly crazy moves and still won all games. Fisher quit chess because he had mastered it, perhaps the first human to do so. If something has no challenge anymore, it is no fun. Today, a machine has mastered it, too, Leela Alpha Zero. It threatens to destroy the fun in chess. Leela plays a bit like Fisher, denying space and forcing the opponent into self-destructive moves. See, e.g. his sixth game against Spassky in 1972. Humans can still play chess because it is difficult to master but it seems to me we are at the closing end of the game. At a certain point, there will be no mystery any more of how to win and white will always win. It is only human frailty, the emotions and prowess of human kind that will continue the game playable, for you know the score, every human being thinks he knows best, at least better than the opponent. And that is the essence of the fun of chess, not the game itself. There is a psychological factor that is not in the rule book but is the essence of the game of chess.

[@kingcarisma]

The future brought me here

[@5inthehole]

You said in the video that Fisher beat The Tiger 4 straight times after this match....Wow, is that correct?

[@buf4wil]

Considering the two wipeouts that Fischer had visited on Taimanov and Larsen in the previous rounds, 6.5-2.5 was almost a *good* result for Petrosian in this Candidates' Final. I would play 8…d4, and look to support it with either …c5 or …e5. Lock up the centre, contain the white-squared bishop (blocked by its own pawns) and make it harder for Fischer to pressure the passed d-pawn. Surprising because Petrosian is known as the positional player, and you'd think he'd incline towards the closed game. I would have played 12…Bd7 to gain a tempo, rather than seek to remove the queens with …Qd7, as in the game. That said, I understand Fischer scorning the proposed 13. Bb5 a:b5 14. Q:a8, as after 0-0 the attack goes over to black, with …Bb7, …d4, and …Ne4 all shortly to follow, while the white queen is uselessly out on a7/a5. For example: 15. Re1 Bb7 16. Qa7 d4 17. Nd1 (if Ne2, then …d3 18. Nd4 Ne4) Ne4 And black has the advantage, with …Bc5 lurking in reserve. I'm sure engines and better players (not to mention Bobby Fischer!) could improve on white's play here, but the point is that the exchange-grabbing doesn't seem to be the best idea on offer, IMO. Keep up the good work!

[@teteusinho123]

what software do you use for the board?

[@gonzalo4658]

Back then where you could here the computer keys every time he played the next move 😊

[@tachyonhummingbird1107]

I knew that was gonna happen on 3:49!

[@lukebaer116]

@agadmator I love the idea of Fischer seeing a move the engines didn't see but then as a technology person I thought the idea was far-fetched in this modern age. Don't you think taking with the rook on D7 is a mistake by Tigran? If he takes with the knight, he attacks the white rook on E5, meaning white can't immediately slip into the C file. And after white rook moves (probably taking the D5 pawn), now the black rook on A8 is free to grab the C file which changes everything. One pawn for one C file. I'd love to be wrong about this, but if black plays optimally is this move from Carlson really that strong?

[@luisfilipedesouzagomes9545]

Hi Medo

[@SimonTeSlime]

At the end of the game, is it not possible to play 34. ...g5 35. Rh7 Ng6 or some variant thereof to avoid the Rh8 mate? If 35. Rg7 instead then would 35. ...Rg6 help? (Or am I missing something? I'm fairly new to chess, loving the channel btw)

[@olasek7972]

Sai_Fye yes, this is my question too.

[@NotQuiteFirst]

Why not just move the A6 pawn to A5? Even if Fischer takes it and black goes a pawn down, it means he doesn't have to used all his pieces to defend the pawn at A6, and it removes the defence of the "monster" knight. (but I am a total noob so I'm sure he had a good reason)

[@frankenstein01]

this is correct

Why wasn't Fischer's last move rook to h7? Seems to me it would accelerate the win condition by a turn. I mean it didn't matter, but just curious. Thanks! Also great videos keep them up! JK I figured it out while typing, it's cause the knight can defend on e6 without the bishops supporting attack.

Pierre Groussac yes, the king cannot capture on d5.

[@groussac]

Sorry, I meant N (knight) captures on d5.

[@yugen042]

Why didn't Petrosian ever play a5? It would've given white a passed a pawn, but also would've freed his rook.

[@polynikes5631]

Did you know you have a catchphrase? "If you do X, it will be devastating for you."

[@AhmadJustin]

Why did Petrosian took with his e pawn during the exchanges in the centre? He could have captured with his f6-knight.

[@edwinguerra8892]

at 1:43, why would white play Bb5?? after xb5, Qxa8, white is just up material?

[@maulerXX]

On move 19, why not just push the a6 pawn to a5??? No need to go to crazy efforts to defend the pawn, just push it! That would also ruin the knight's outpost...

[@cocancola]

min. 1:42: Why not for Fischer move Bd3-b5 ?

[@mclaughlinja1995]

at 5:27, anyone know why Petrosian can’t simply push a5? After bxa5 Rxa5, the material is equal. Fischer has a passed pawn, but it’s way back on a2 and certainly better for Petrosian than what he played. What am I missing? b5 rather than bxa5 for Fischer?

[@adflicto1]

[@Tizohip]

i,m view the same move ahahahaha

[@smith_und]

Stockfish actually doesn't give it as much better than 13. Re1. ...axb5 14. Qxa8 o-o 15. Qa5 d4! 16. Nxb2 Bb7 and suddenly White's king is a little drafty. There's absolutely compensation for the material imbalance.

[@billebrooks]

I do not understand why Petrosian did not play 10. .. Nxd5 instead of exd5 to avoid the isolated pawn.

[@LJLMETAL]

With the Bd3 move, could this opening be considered the Kopec System?

[@mithunraj6529]

Lawrence Lepes Kopec system starts with Bd3 with an idea to put it on c2 via c3 and Bc2.So no, It's not considered as Kopec system

[@LJLMETAL]

Mithun Raj Oh ok. Got it. Thanks!

[@benjaminbutler4381]

im pretty sure in the Kopec system c3 is played rather then c4 with the idea of parking the bishop on c2 to create long term pressure if black castles king side

[@pelimies1818]

How about instead of Knight f4, rook f6 and then rook f8?

[@Siyumate]

Why not Bb5 after Qd7? Doesn't that win the exchange?

[@ytmndman]

It looks like black gets a very strong attack as compensation

[@ytmndman]

Instead of b4, black could play Bb7 or d4. For example d4 Nxb5 Bb7 (threatens Bxg2 with perpetual) f3 Bc6 Na3 Ra8 Qe1 Re8 Nc4 (Qa5 repeats moves) d3 and black can draw or possibly win

[@Siyumate]

ytmndman I analysed this deeply. Result was, yes white does win in the end. But white has to find the only moves troughout the game. Black has iniative.

[@joedorben3504]

Youre telling me you accurately analyzed a game between World Champions from move 12 to its finish? That's bullshit your analysis was either inaccurate or you did a bang up job of using an engine to find all the moves

I agree with such statement, especially after reading biographies of Fisher and Tal, the most ingenious chess players so far (and watching interview with Carlsen during London sightseeing).
