[@SuedeStonn]

I've been playing the KIA for the last few weeks and done well with it. Afaict there are no tricks or traps in the opening to look out for, or at least no one has tried any on me... its a 'long play' type of opening, which I prefer anyway, lol. The white bishop is hemmed in for a little while but I like to open the center at a time of my choosing and use it to attack and play on the queenside.

[@panthershockey4453]

You know, it's like the great Bobby Fischer once said: "I dont believe in psychology, I believe in good moves"

[@TheGamerAdventurersX]

really well detailed chess game explanation m8! Keep up the good work :) This video really helped me with my chess matches :)

[@W65B61S]

Can you dig some ancient chess tactics.. like in first century or older? It be cool to see.

[@paullillebo3969]

Thanks. A great game by Bobby Fischer. 1970 was a defining year for him. He won everything in sight. Yet, he was a difficult person, he refused to bow to FIDE's rules, and it took Pal Benko's voluntarily vacating his US spot in the 1970 candidates' tournament for Fischer to get the chance to play in the 1972 world championship. Let's not forget Benko's unselfish gesture. Without it, Fischer would not have become world champion. Benko understood Fischer's unique talent, and he sacrificed his own opportunity in order to support Bobby's superior chance for the world championship. Thank you Pal.

[@saisusato2871]

what didnt he like about fides rules? ive never heard this story

[@tongpoo8985]

That's pretty classy from Mr. Benko.

[@Speersy1]

Wow i love that Fisher quote, "tactics flow from a superior position"

[@markritchie8874]

Yes, if you can see them. I considered Be4 (having been told there was a combination there, which of course makes it easier) but I couldn't calculate through to the end and would never dared to play it.

[@gioraos5084]

I just saw where the knight wanted to be, but couldnt understand how to place it there, didnt see the bishop sacrifice lol

[@ericgrimes341]

Me too. That resonated

[@AtEboli]

Thank you- I appreciate the fact that not only do you play out the game, but you show why alternative moves were not taken, and do so at a level that explains things that might be obvious to very highly rated players, but are not to many of us.

[@sp00kiestchannelevah76]

As weird as it may sound, King's Indian is actually nostalgic for me. It was the opening I used in maybe 80% of my games when I was about 11

[@manassarpatwar]

you are on complete fire Jerry! If you keep doing this, I won't be able to concentrate on my exams XD! Keep it up. Love from INDIA :)

[@martm216]

Good commentary - thank you.

[@mettataurr]

Fischer games are so educational!

[@gamemeister27]

Thank you so much for all these analysis uploads, they're my favorite

[@posh0610]

Brilliantly clear explanation and a real learning experience for me! Thanks Jerry from England.

[@davidbatchelder85]

With your commentary and the view of the moves. I learned quite a bit in this overview. Very well done, my hat is off to you. Nice

[@donovan264]

I love how at move 25 all of Oscar's pieces are on the queen side and all of Bobby's pieces are on the king side

[@mikevaldez7684]

Awesome--killer commentary! I was looking for something on this game, glad I stumbled upon this.😊

[@ChristianP1999]

3:58 Jerry says "Everything but a rook or king" Nigel Short would say: "Everything, especially a king!"

[@alephnull4044]

Ayyy

[@JordanNexhip]

Was thinking same thing hahaha classic meme

[@Narrowcros]

lol true and Shirov as well

[@fluffygiant9060]

Alphazero:especially the rook

[@TWPO]

You have a heart of gold, Jerry. Have a merry day :)

[@plzcat3474]

Your upload rate is incredible Jerry. Big THANKS!!!!

[@mariusweber4990]

I love pausing in these videos and thinking about what moves i would have chosen (e.g. 10:49 I'd have gone for g6 to rip that defence open, but Fischer's move is much more elegant). Thanks for all the great content!

[@LeoMatisse]

Thank you very much for posting this video. I really appreciate the world-class commentating and analysis you provide in all your video lectures. Cheers!

[@ChessNetwork]

+James Radovich Thank you James.

[@vasilivanich3842]

I swear Jerry says "hi everyone it's Jerry" in the saddest of voices.

[@thromboid]

It fascinates me...to me the tone sounds like a welcoming humility. A simple opening, barely hinting at the complexity and struggle to come... ;)

[@bozkurtburhan6]

i agree

[@mojakoquiton3703]

Fischer the real chess genius.

[@Euquila]

i know right? every time he says "hi everyone it's Jerry" I feel crushed with depression

[@ClaíomhDClover]

i think it’s normal, we are watching too many zoomer vlogtubers.

[@superlative_custard]

Loved this game and analysis thank you

[@ChessNetwork]

👍

[@swankitydankity297]

I love your videos! I was taking a break from my homework to have my dinner and what do I see but a new video from you to watch while eating! You cover the game thoroughly and make it very fun to watch. Thanks

[@simonrjelliott6119]

Once again... thanks v much. V. helpful, well-paced, commentary...

[@rickknowlton9990]

Thanks, a very enjoyable presentation. As you said, very smooth, logical. Great video!

[@katewild2194]

wow what a game I would have gone wrong so many times the way fischer gives up pieces just amazing.

[@michaelbailey1578]

I enjoyed that and the presentation was excellent. Thanks

[@myashins0]

You're the best chess commentator out there Jerry! Thanks for everything!

[@ddmannion]

Another excellent and instructive video from Jerry. Thanks man!

[@ChessNetwork]

+Daniel M Thank you Daniel. 👍🏼

[@ddmannion]

Another excellent and instructional video from Jerry. Thanks man!

[@fikunmiajayi]

Hey Jerry You're my favorite chess player. You're extremely surgical and it's really helping me grow. I adore you

[@Brian3xm]

Great game, and even better presentation, as usual. Thank you; very instructional.

[@emmettbalogun5374]

The presentation is not greater than the game!!!

[@gavinegil4417]

Wow great analysis hope you do more videos. Happy new year.

[@sacthequeen4295]

14:02 "A really smooth game" Jerry's been taking commentary notes from Maurice Ashley :P

[@ChessNetwork]

+Sac The Queen 😁

[@KARTIKEYA007]

oh man I hope not

[@stevenxu5747]

"Well what did me to do? I took the control of f6 square in the opening, and I pushed my advantage!!"

[@ice_man81]

I can only dream to play chess like Bobby.

[@Ebobster]

I’ve heard it said that the King’s Indian Attack does not work well vs Black’s Kingside fianchetto, but (judging by this game) clearly the attack does work well if White has a pawn entrenched on e5. Very strange Panno didn’t snap off White’s Knight on e2 when he had the chance. In any case, Fischer’s brilliant Be4!! is the star move of the game, highly instructive & frankly an unforgettable tactical shot. Thank you for sharing this little-known but highly instructive gem of a game.

[@jasjitsingh8539]

Love watching your videos...such pleasure

[@iamthomasleffler]

Love the new videos Jerry! Thank you!

[@superfisto]

I love your analyses of classics.

[@fodolocraigo8426]

I'm new to chess, this Fischer guy seems pretty good

[@robmorr23]

Bobby Fischer was world champion from 1972 to 1975. American.

[@pbezunartea]

As usual, great video and commentary!

[@tonytrautz4150]

I never understand people saying "Why do they resign? They should accept checkmate." Are you kidding? If you're playing in a tournament and a man or woman reaches across to shake your hand saying they resign, you accept it without any unhappiness. They see it, you see it. End of story. There's no need for this masturbatory checkmate to happen. Sorry if you as the viewer don't get to really see it out, but get over it. The game is over, and high level players know it when they see it. That's honor enough, to know that you've won.

[@EugeneOneguine]

This takes even more sense when you're playing go. To resign before the 100 last moves that just close the stones hahaha

[@RecalcitrantBiznis]

@@EugeneOneguine Hi, somebody told me about the game go. I'd never heard of it until the other day. Do you know of any go apps/websites that are any good? Kind regards.

[@EugeneOneguine]

There are 2 main apps to play this game. KGS go and Panda go. I use KGS. If you want we can meet on this one and I can briefly explain it.

[@RecalcitrantBiznis]

@@EugeneOneguine That's brilliant! Thank you very much! I hope to find time to play soon, between work and parenting. I will certainly be in touch once I have downloaded the app. Thank you very much Eugène. Jamie.

[@looinrims]

One thing that they avoid by resigning is having to keep notating moves and clock times for each player as well, it’s just easier

[@johnryder557]

Thanks for posting

[@HDNoName]

I really enjoyed this. And I was blown away when I watched you play 1 minute matches. I have really high respect for you. Appriciate the work you put into these videos. I'd love to see you review a more flawed match, we're both sides do more mistakes. I just think it would be interesting to see the difference to what you normally review.

[@ChessNetwork]

+Felix Konrad Thank you. Maybe this is a worthwhile playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLQsLDm9Rq9bF7cm5sNvyKV174AzWBSqQN

[@HDNoName]

Thanks a lot :-)

[@jeremyharris7811]

Fisher's sacrifice game is on point.

[@ldeans5620]

Jerry, you've made it onto my list of best chess commentators of all time.

[@ethangreyling553]

I don't even like Chess... Why am I here enjoying watching these plays and strategies so much?? How did I even get here

[@FuncraftVideos]

Start playing chess already!

[@looinrims]

It is Bobby Fischer that was on the board, Fischer is a legend

[@contactkeithstack]

10:37 "this knight, what's he up to? Nobody knows." Haha

[@majluke]

exactlly, funny

[@FloraM44]

Ngl that lead to me subscribing.. hoping the narration is usually this enjoyable :)

[@stndupforusa8964]

Thnks for video..enjoyd it very much

[@arthurbalado6022]

There is a potential counter-offensive here for Blacks. h6, then g5 followed by Ng6 and then undermine White pawns at e5 and d4. As these white pawns described by Jerry remained unchanged during the whole match. So the strategy here which is CRUCIAL, it is about to crumble these 2 white PAWNS (14:48) (d4&e5) which are pivotal in Fischer's attack. The counter-offensive idea here is to promote Black d5 and e6 to d4 & e5 (by placing both knights to attack e5 square) so once this takes places then the roles have been reversed. But all these (my nonsense haha!!) is in hindsight and Fischer like many times before demonstrated here that is it is all about SUPERIOR positioning and IT IS ALL ABOUT PAWNS to support the other minor pieces. Brilliant Jerry and thank you from Down-under :))

[@stevenorth1564]

another wonderful video 28. Be4 very instructive -- looked at it as a candidate move, but did not look deep enough. thanks!

[@henley.cheata]

I love your channel. I've been watching your videos and I love how in depth you are. I'm learning so much. I can tell you love the sport. Keep up the good work.

[@ChessNetwork]

+Henley Cheata Thank you Henley

I love your pop quizzes!

[@mohd1nagyyyyy]

I'm a simple man, i see Fischer, i like.

[@dyl715]

Wow, great content Jerry!

[@AcVinicious]

i love to see bobby fischer games ! i would loved to see magnus playing against him :D

[@ldeans5620]

Great game together with insightful commentary. My idea of a good time.

[@moniqueheubel8970]

Great commentary. I thought it flowed as well. Black not being able to create counter play at every turn.

[@duryeal26]

Keep it up, jerry. Love love love

[@inigomontoya603]

completely off my radar, i was seeing pawn takes pawn, and then a possible win with combination of further moves... This was amazing

[@woodenfences]

You make it seem simple enough for me to believe I would have certainly played like Bobby.

[@luisyfonsy711]

Bobby fischer's chess makes it seem simple enough.

[@Jan123.]

Thank you!

[@circleviii1801]

Hey Jerry would you be willing to cover Tal vs Hjartarson 1987? I think it's one of the most fascinating games I've seen and there is no good coverage of it! You do a great job with your coverage of classic games and I definitely think it would be a challenge even for you to explain this game to anyone that isn't a wizard :)

[@ruialves4903]

You rule Jerry! Cheers from Portugal

[@carlo_cali]

The gravity of when Fischer built up these attacks is just amazing. I know it may sound crazy, but it was just like or at least similar to the play of Tal and Mophy.

[@Psyfi85]

Why I always loved Fischer’s play. Constant pressure applied, then when he releases the pressure the opponent is left wondering where it all went wrong.

[@littlezimty]

It's easy to overlook tactics involving a square that is defended by a pawn. Fisher makes this game look so simple.

[@mitsarashoulio7707]

Great vid! What if at 13.20 min black played bishop to e8 to challenge the white bishop, instead of playing knight to g5? wouldn't that be better?

[@angoor101]

Jerry, where are you? Why aren’t you posting more chess videos. You’re the best voice for chess on KZbin

[@AmishWebmaster]

Nice commentary. Some guys are hard to follow when they explain the scenarios apart from the real game.

[@TonyGStarcraft]

LIKED AND COMMENTED! you're welcome you gosu chess master!!! love you jerry and your tricky knights ! xoxo

[@jean-charlesfidinde8131]

What is the name of the little music at the end? Im in love

[@TheNiceguy1156]

I love that all the pieces are on the king side

[@pacuraralexandru4135]

This flow.. 👌Noice 😍😍😍

[@ateela3191]

13:17 why didnt oscar play Be8?

[@StephenBroadfoot]

Thank you Jerry!

[@SylarTheBest]

At 13:48 shouldn't black just take the knight with the queen?

[@valentijnraw]

I knew the move because another chess channel made a puzzle about it not too long ago. Awesome game

[@brendanhall3265]

Pretty bad at chess but still spotted that e 4 bishop move (only cause you said there was tactics). Love your videos Jerry!

[@saamspam6127]

14:02 really smooth game. Maurice Ashley would approve (edit) someone already made the same joke lol

[@piescespiesces602]

YOU ARE THE BEST ! THE BEST !! BEST !!!

[@alephnull4044]

I don't particularly understand Black's decision to resign just one move before mate. You may as well play the final move; resigning just one move before mate seems to do nothing but suggest that you took that long to actually realise you were lost. Nonetheless a brilliant game by Fischer. Definitely going to try play the KIA having seen this game (and some of his others).

[@nicksamek12]

3:11 Fischer and AlphaZero alike loving that e5

[@Eric-xt3os]

In that pawn structure, Black needed to be more active on the queenside but way too slow. Na5 flicked aside by b3. How Panno wasn’t concerned about Ng3 and the flood of pieces? a5 not even necessary in terms of guarding b4.. Black just seemed out to lunch on that one

[@Onoins425]

VERY instructive! 🖒

[@charlesfleury100]

Jerry.. big thanks for this and all your many outstanding other videos. I play agaist a computer set at maximum force..what our your thoughts on losing as a way to learn big thanks

[@Flightofphenomena]

Interesting, I had a similar Be4 move in a blitz game earlier today, but to exploit a pin on the Queen on e7 (which also matches the black Queen's square here). However, I was too enamored with the crazy Nf5 move, trying to "make it work."

[@tensor131]

23 ... Bxh6 This is unusual. Normally the bishop sits there and exchange occurs on g7, which would prevent Qh6. Is this another error by Panno?

[@RecalcitrantBiznis]

Excellent!

[@jeffsmith1895]

I enjoyed watching but Id like to see some current games analyst

[@ericgrimes341]

Total masterclass.

[@mathematicalparables898]

Be4!! What a move!

[@neilparker2310]

Even rooks can 'camp' on f6 to blockade f pawn nd in rare instances transfer from there to h6 forcing mate on g or h file.

[@waynemiller6070]

thanks Jerry

[@eliasparker5113]

Hey Jerry! I just want to thank you for uploading these videos, especially your beginner to master series videos in order to help new chess players get better. If you had time to follow up on this question i would greatly appreciate it. I am just wondering what you feel the best way for a new player to get better is. I've watched pretty much all your videos in that learner's playlist and i play quite frequently, every day that is. I just started getting into chess heavily and trying to get better probably two weeks ago. Would it be beneficial to just play as much as possible, or do you think certain learning devices such as tactics, online lessons etc would be more beneficial than just playing for a beginner? Your suggestions would be awesome! Thank you.

[@valen771]

i feel like i had the most improvement when i started doing tactic puzzles frequently, after some time you recognize some patterns for the tactics, especially on a beginners level it can win u a lot of games no matter how good or bad your positional/strategic play is.

[@prinsallan]

8.33: What a force on the kingside. I would actually, as black, have traded the bishop for the knight a move earlier, but then again, I am one of the few who values knights higher than bishops, Also, I don't have as strong opponents as Oscar Panno ;D

[@Jay_Scheme]

I think it would be cool if you had the evaluation on the side

[@user-jv9qz2bu1r]

awesome thanks
