Bobby Plays 1.b3 | Fischer vs Filip | Palma de Mallorca Interzonal (1970)

Follow MprooV on Twitter / mproovapp The 1970 Interzonal was held in Palma de Mallorca from November 9-December 12, and was the last Interzonal held as a one-section round robin. With the tournament swelling to 24 players and further expansion on the way, future changes were inevitable. The following players vied for six slots in the candidates matches to be held in 1971: William G Addison, Miroslav Filip, Robert James Fischer, Efim Geller, Svetozar Gligoric, Vlastimil Hort, Robert Huebner, Borislav Ivkov, Eleazar Jimenez Zerquera, Bent Larsen, Milan Matulovic, Henrique Mecking, Dragoljub Minic, Renato Naranja, Oscar Panno, Lev Polugaevsky, Lajos Portisch, Samuel Reshevsky, Jorge Alberto Rubinetti, Vasily Smyslov, Duncan Suttles, Mark Taimanov, Wolfgang Uhlmann, Tudev Ujtumen..
Ujtumen from Mongolia, about as outside as an outsider could get, actually held the lead by himself after round 3. However, reality and Robert J. Fischer set in, as the American quickly soared to a dominating position. The other contenders didn't worry about it too much; after all, you only had to finish in the top six to qualify for the Candidates, and there was even a seventh spot open for a reserve. So they played it safe, while Fischer kept working hard.
At the quarter pole following round 6, Fischer had 5.5 points and a 1.5 point lead on Geller, Gligoric, Larson, Panno, and Ujtumen. But then came a bad stretch: he managed to draw lost positions in round 7 and 8, but Larsen didn't let him off the hook in round 9. By now the lead had vanished, as Geller joined Fischer at the top with 6.5.
That led to the critical round 12 encounter between the leaders, Geller holding a half-point lead and playing the White pieces. Any normal grandmaster, when Geller offered an early draw, would have accepted to get an easy half-point closer to qualification. Fischer, hungry for a win after five rounds without one, refused.
Geller played inaccurately and lost a pawn, reaching a difficult rook ending. Eventually, a hallucination and a final mistake sealed his fate, and Fischer took the lead. The rest was a matter of technique: Fischer won two more in a row, took a couple of draws for a breather, then started his famous streak with full points in his last seven games.

[@markhughes2556]

I also liked "You have to be confident. And this confidence has to be based on fact".

[@mikevaldez7684]

This tournament was simply breathtaking with regard to Fischer's performance; you couldn't have written a better script with the ups & downs , twists & turns...Fischer, what can you say, magnificent, enigmatic, inscrutable, uncompromising, brilliant, fascinating, & yet tragic...there will never be another player more captivating, riveting , & exciting than Bobby Fischer in his prime!

[@AbdulBasit0044]

Rightly said ✅👍

[@ravirawat6856]

Bobby is always my favourite player, and I can't express how happy I'm to see his journey to world chess championship. Thank you agadmator

[@groussac]

Right. What's so great about Bobby is how seamlessly he gets his pieces to coordinate in a unified attack. He makes it look so easy that you end up scratching your head asking yourself "why can't I play like that?" Of course there was a lot of work that went into the end results. He complained later on about the brute memorization necessary to play the game well, and came up with Fischer Random Chess as an alternative. Quite a guy. It's just a shame that his personal life went to hell. But as far as him being my favourite player, I'm not so sure. Right now I'm leaning toward Tigran Petrosian, simply because his strategy and tactics are easier for me to follow. But give me a few months and I'll probably have another favourite player or maybe even switch my loyalty to a favourite chess engine. But right now it's Petrosian. I can understand what the guy is trying to do. Petrosian vs Fischer - 1971 Candidates Chess Match - Game 2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnyvlod3o82DoJo

Today's ELO ratings may or may not be inflated, that's a debate that neither side would win, but I contend that none of today's players could play Bobby Fischer at his peak. He was perfection from 1970 - 1972. Thanks for the series, Antonio.

[@feliscorax]

Maybe, maybe not. I think peak Kasparov and peak Anand squeeze the life out of him, though.

[@alucard4974]

I really wish there was a match between bobby and magnus. I wonder what could have happened.

[@builderphill1361]

Magnus now would certainly fare better as he has a much better opening understanding due to engine analysis and the internet, but if Fischer had access to everything we had now I bet he'd be #1 again

[@ThomasJohansson-mo5gf]

But young Fischer if teletransported to 2023 and given a year to catch up with openings and engines would perhaps win. He was extremely focused and hard-working.

[@lakinther7183]

8 games 5 wins 5 draws what?

[@keegand5082]

it was in this position math resigned the game

[@smarem]

Thank goodness for fisher

[@SamuelPearlman]

He obviously misspoke, as earlier in the video at 0:58 he said it was 5 draws, 2 wins for Fischer up to this point. So now 5 draws, 3 wins.

[@mohammedbouchcoucha890]

[@usptact]

[@alieskandari6036]

Nice game. Subtle but sustained attack

[@thesmoothwater_1445]

I missed this too

[@LJLMETAL]

@7:19; Black also has an attack on the g3 pawn with R×g3. The f2 pawn is pinned. I'm guessing that is one of the reasons why Fischer moved his pawn to b4.

[@jamesmartin1659]

congrats on 200,000. i joined in the early days 40,000 or so. how about a top ten all time games. start at number 10 and one each day..i'd love it

Take some time to study one of the unknown players who played in this tournament: Lev Polugaevsky. He beat Mikael Tal in RIGA playing with the Black Pieces. His lifetime score against Tal was Positive.

[@wbskr3216]

Perfect game only Bobby can play

[@Birdy890]

Why did Filip move to Qf3 and not Qg4?? Is there something I'm missing? Was he wanting to defend his f file pawn? g4 would provide and attack and a defense of rooks so im puzzled why its not a good move?

[@martineller4672]

did fischer say somthing about his move? #1: e4 best he study this over years as he played over 1000 games against himself (was said in one of his books)

[@bobfree1226]

never seen so many players versus fischer resign with big pieces left on the board.

[@sage5296]

If you’re getting mated in 3 ur getting mated in 3. And otherwise being down a queen for a rook is still resignable with no counterplay. Fischer’s king was very safe

i agree but ive seen all the games on you tube an ive never seen the mastery the fischer showed against the best players.

[@lmntcrnstn4970]

At 9:06 would R1-d3 work?

[@mariovanderwal1695]

at 9:10 why not rook to d3, as the rook on c3 is pinned because of the checkmate

[@Sameer_S_Kulkarni]

Rook d7 is better than rook d3

[@puremercury]

A decent idea, but if White's queen ever comes off the second rank without checking Black's king, Qxf2+ would lead to perpetual check.

[@juliatruchsess1019]

@@puremercury But it wouldn't have to come off the second rank. Rd3 picks up black's c3 rook while maintaining the threat of mate on H8.

[@nudelsuppe2090]

#suggestion. Fisher-anderdon 1970 where fisher went for a hedgehog kind of position with white, played g4 doubled his rocks on the g phile and attacked

[@therandom8313]

What’s the disadvantage of taking knight on f6 with that bishop 2 give double pawn on move 3

[@MegaTenser]

Bishop tends to be a little better than a knight as the game goes on. I think black would recapture with the e pawn, and it actually helps black develop his pieces very quickly. The doubled pawns in this case wouldn't be very weak or easy to attack, so there isn't much reason for white to go for this.

[@Gruesome_j]

I miss bobby

[@PushyPawn]

Filip may have had a chance to try for a draw on move 25 with Kh7-Kg7 (instead of Kg6). This would force Bobby to take 26: (with either) Rook x f7+ Qxf7, 27: Rxf7+ Kxf7, 28: hxg5 ... This would leave Filip with 2 Rooks against a Queen and 3 pawns down. Bobby still most likely go on to win but at least Filip would go down with a bit more dignity left on the board.

[@dariofabian8819]

9:04 Why not Qf6 attacking the rook on d8 and also adding a 2nd defender to the c3 rook.

[@Birdy890]

This drove me nuts as well, it must be something I'm missing because its seems such a better move, and often when something in chess is obvious to me its because my lil brain cant calculate far enough ahead.

[@dariofabian8819]

After seeing your comment i found the obvious answer it is because the Rook on d8 can capture the c8 rook and you cant capture it with your c3 rook because the Quin on f6 is hanging.

[@teemusa5846]

True, usually it is not a good idea to add more unprotected pieces to the same pin, it will just make it all the more difficult to get out of it
