Bobby Fischer: The Collapse of an American Hero

[@wolfsoldier5105]

Fischer didn't "collapse", he told the truth about a certain group that were not allowed to criticize! His words are proving VERY true now more than ever!

[@Dan1elAndrade]

Sure Wolfie, whatever u say

[@tudorm6838]

Much later, some of the Soviet grandmasters admitted that they made strategic draws in the world championship games.

[@Raventooth]

How do you guys only have 15k subscribers?? Jesus. Fucking great channel. All of it. Thanks!

They do this in every video. I’m assuming it’s a joke. I’ve noticed it in each of their videos I’ve watched.

[@Kage197]

Hell yeah, new video is out. Also 40 minutes, I’m stoked. My first video from you guys was the Norm McDonald biopic in Styrofoam Bonfire. I’m a giant fan of Norm McDonald so I jumped right on it, absolutely loved it. I checked so frequently for new videos, man what a long wait that was. But when that Conan video came out man so very worth it. Long story short I really love the videos and everything you do. Even the buffalo one people seemed to dislike on release. You guys have a vibe a lot like Jon Bois and I’m here for every one of your upcoming release

[@55Folks]

Hell yeah brother 🤝 appreciate the support! We’ll get to Norm on this channel someday

Learning about Bobby Fischer and bopping my head to the beats. Dont listen to the babys saying edit it out.

[@shooz4unme]

This video shows the chess greatness of Fischer n what separates him from Csrlsen, who is definitely talented, but no prodigy. A prodigy is more than just winning games as a youth against stronger older players.

[@oliviatree]

Fischer was also profoundly mentally ill, from a very young age. It's been said that chess saved Fischer from being institutionalized or having full blown psychosis publicly. His ability to focus on chess, under his perfect conditions, was a gift but also a symptom of his illness.

[@charlesdarwin7253]

Bobby had one of the highest IQ scores ever 'presumed' for an individual. For some reason I always confuse him with the Unabomber. He was a genius, but he was utterly devoid of emotional intelligence.

[@VVeltanschauung187]

Holy shit, I saw your comment on a David Bowie song. Wassup I disagree. I think Fischer was an emotional guy. In the interviews, he always talked about the lack of creativity in chess and contrasted chess players with songwriters

[@cliffordcrimson7124]

The most based man of all time

[@conzmoleman]

another script with “for all intensive purposes” lmao this has to be a running bit. your channel is too good to not know its “for all intents and purposes”

[@tudorm6838]

10:10 This story with Taimanov seems made up.

[@ColeWheeler4Lyfe]

But is he wrong?

[@dancooper4733]

Fischer criticized his own in group and they responded by persecuting him relentlessly.

[@tudorm6838]

"... I always wanted to write some songs I was telling Evans Larry Evans this back in the 60s I remember I said you know I listen to all these songs and I wish I could write that but I I try to write something. I try to think of something and like I guess nothing comes out. ... and he said: yeah because you haven't lived and I started thinking about it he's right this is true"

[@dancooper4733]

Whi did Fischer criticize, and then which government punished him? Sorta gives the game away on who runs what.

[@tonylove4800]

Enjoyed your video but the game of the century was against Donald Byrne, Robert's younger brother.

[@brewslidepark]

Bobby Fischer is the goat.

[@ziggygunz2447]

You guys clearly aren't fans of the late late show with Craig Ferguson because he had a bit pronouncing reykjavik on there, pretty much the only reason I know how to lol

[@Willy_Milano]

You still haven't hired a professional to write your scripts, which is why ”intensive purposes”, “foreign languages”, and your insipid Blue Man Group joke, among several other childish and embarrassing puns and mistakes (Reykjavík), seem like good editorials to you people.

[@chawmcgraw4309]

I kinda like your vids but this is the second one after you wasted my time with the 120mph pitcher (which was a funny april fools, you got me" but you have said in both FOR ALL INTENSIVE PURPOSES

[@GoZags43]

There are like 20 comments saying this. In every video I’ve seen of theirs, they say “intensive.” I’m pretty sure they are aware, and you’ve fallen pray to the engagement trap.

[@Charge0Complete]

Hero?

[@stee8345]

It's "for all INTENTS AND PURPOSES" not "intensive purposes" ...it's ok, I used to use it incorrectly too 😂

[@GoZags43]

Every one of their videos that I’ve seen has this phrase in it. My conspiracy theory is they are doing it on purpose to subtly increase engagement.

[@am2023]

Screw chess and those who control it

[@denisdooley1540]

In the middle of watching, but I have to ask how can someone be so knowledgeable about Fischer and not know how to pronounce Reykjavík?

[@denisdooley1540]

Or not know that the acronym for the International Chess Federation, officially the Fédération Internationale des Échecs, FIDE, is typically pronounced "fee-day" and not spelled out.

[@LeroyGassem-oy1ky]

He didn't collapse. He had enough of this pyscho country

[@hattorihanzo2275]

I'd like to see a re-upload without the rap music constantly in the background. It's distracting and make this a difficult watch in what would otherwise be great.

Nice work guys. I imagine you are feeling a little like Bobby, “How can we top this?” To that i say, “Your mother was right”. Anxious for the next one. Get crackin!

[@Mr.MikeBarksdale]

This is why chess isn't the greatest game ever. I'd take a game like backgammon that actually has an element of chance in it. Chess is pure strategy and literally nothing else. The greatest minds in combat study logistics, not tactics or strategy. Why? Because logistics are the human element. Chess has none of that.

[@magnussigurdsson9045]

Bobby Fischer did not collapse...American politics did. He became Icelandic citizen... a very welcome and loved one. The genius died in Iceland at 64 (what else?)😥

[@coffeetalk924]

His personality wasn't welcome and loved there. In fact, people in Iceland went from being extremely excited to have him, to generally avoiding him.
