[@teddymagcawas1332]

Why magnus did not take knight on his first game..ruy lopez.. against petrov in fide rapid and blitz games..and petrov used his uncle defense petrov defense...i like ruy lopez of your uncle RJ.. bobby Fisher..He always reminds me.

[@kimbirch1202]

How anyone could foresee all those possible combinations is mind boggling.

[@themindasmusic]

Fischer also played one of the greatest attacking tactical moves ever against Benko, 19. Rf6 in another game.

[@rpralica]

I just can't believe how Bobby played at only 16 years old and I can't even think that anyone is ever better than him. Thank you Bobby for everything.

[@cpaniaguam]

Enjoying the Fischer games. Thanks!

[@alieskandari633]

Relentless attack from Fischer 😮. Thank you for sharing this beautiful game with us

[@gaius68]

Great analysis - thanks for sharing!

[@jamesdelb6885]

You could create a chess course on this game alone.

[@alphonseblackwood2930]

Thanks for the game and extra lines CD! Very fun

[@user-ob1sb1wf5p]

Amazed I could follow most of these lines. Nice job explaining 👍

[@VinsterGtag]

This is a really good video and a great analysis. Keep making videos, I really enjoy them and hope to see you get lots of subscribers one day! Underrated channel to be honest.

[@TELECHESS]

Great presentation!

[@cronoscraiss330]

Awesome and instructive.. beautiful games you show. Thank you! :)

[@youngc570]

Seemed like Benko was oblivious to Fischer setting up the kingside attack for a bit, which he immediately jumped on.

[@zhara2585]

I enjoy the analysis, especially these great games

[@howardking3601]

Your commentary illuminates. I see things I otherwise would not have. This is the GREAT Bobby Fischer whose brilliant, exciting play put chess on the front page. Great study!

[@SwaniZubayeer22]

Thank you ChessDawg. This is astonishing. Really appreciate your uploads and explanations.

[@hba12]

thanks great

[@denisrho1019]

OUF ! My head spins after watching all those moves !

Stockfischer! 😀

[@RS-np2bk]

Awesome!!

[@adamblumke2478]

Great stuff.

[@thomasherbst6771]

The variations are fantastic and actually worth taking a closer look at. But I know that many people don't have the time or patience these days.

[@columkenn]

Certainly was outstanding by both players

[@rolandoorro1741]

Of all the players (then and now) Fischer is the best!

[@dhal22]

Amazing game.

[@banzaiburger9589]

Really enjoyed this one, great game. It seems to me and my untrained eye that Fischer never seems to have enough resources to win, but magically he makes something out of nothing, if that makes any sense.

[@ivanmaric-fg7ey]

Damn tough day for benko

[@TruthSurge]

14:28 ok, but Benko could then play kn to d7 which protects the rook and saves the kn. Now what's the queen going to do? she can't check on f6 because of that kn that just moved into town. if Q to g row, then rook to g8, bish.... etc. no?

[@leoleone166]

Nd7 would be met by R:d7 and game over.

[@RafaelSang-tq8ur]

1959 candidates: the first time for Bobby in the candidates. In this candidates cycle, Bobby was still dressed like a boy in jeans and sweaters. By 1960, he started wearing suits.

[@ToxicGamer86454]

What is your elo rating?

[@Kingdonomics]

I love how Chessdawg sells the game prior to his observant commentary.

[@tritorch]

Masterful as always ChessDawg. Is your memory eidetic?

[@chessdawg]

I had to look that word up, lol. I'm afraid it is not.

[@noegojimmy]

Black was practically playing 1 to 2 pieces down... A rook and a light square bishop.

[@SebastianKopacz]

14:27 I believe knight to d7 survives for black, although that's all it does...survives...barely...haha

[@YonaNgambi]

I've been watching chess on different medea platform. There only two chess players that normally amazing me with their attack. Baby Fischer and Garry Kasparov. As for Fischer is slightly better than Garry in such that he was a complete player.

[@michalziober]

♔ Fisher did not want to step in the Benko Gambit. This is why e4 move is better when you play with ♔ Benko.

[@Rspknlikeab0ssxd]

Well, seeing as Bobby pretty much opened with 1.e4 until the 70s, I'm not sure you're correct at all lol

[@michalziober]

@@Rspknlikeab0ssxd Well, fan fact: The name Benko Gambit also was created in the 70s (after the book written by Benko). It is also named as the Volga Gambit. My comment was not about e4 od d4 moves. It was a joke.

[@Rspknlikeab0ssxd]

@@michalziober I knew of there being a Benko Gambit (I think in the Benoni?) but cool info. Sorry for the woosh. Was just defending Bobby 😂

[@paulbloemen7256]

Extraordinary game, and what a player! By some lucky chance I replayed the game Karpov - Unzicker 1974 today. A totally different kind of game, I didn’t get much about it, and maybe Unzicker didn’t either, he lost after, yes, after, what happened? I wonder what Fischer would have thought about this game, and about this player Karpov. To be honest, I’m not sure Fischer would like to play against this kind of Karpov, playing chess from a different planet.

[@gooddognigel9992]

“Fischer is the greatest genius to descend from the chessic heavens.” -Mikhail Tal Fischer was afraid of nothing.

[@paulbloemen7256]

@@gooddognigel9992 Well, Fischer didn’t play Karpov, where he could have if he had wanted to. In my opinion, Fischer was afraid of Karpov, which he should: my guess is, Fischer would have lost that match.

[@banzaiburger9589]

@@paulbloemen7256Fischer had nothing else to prove, that’s why he quit. The idea that he was afraid of Karpov is simply absurd

[@paulbloemen7256]

@@banzaiburger9589 Oh, but here you are wrong. Karpov was the upcoming star with a totally different style, the talk of the chess town, all the more because Fischer didn’t play at all. Of course, Fischer, as the current world champion, had to prove he could beat Karpov. He just chickened out with quite irrelevant arguments.

[@Rspknlikeab0ssxd]

​@@paulbloemen7256Bobby argued his whole life with tournament organizers and officials, and would withdraw when his conditions were not met. As the well-deserved champion of the world, I think it's especially fair to hear out his demands. He wanted the match to be like the first world chess championship- Steinitz Zukertort. So, he wanted it to be first to 10 wins, draws not counting. The original match had a stipulation that a 9-9 score would be a draw. Fischer wanted the prize money to be split at a 9-9 score, but he'd retain his title. To me, that seems somewhat like a fair way to treat the situation. For Bobby was already world champion, Karpov not so. Neither were Steinitz and Zukertort before that match, so neither had claim to have or retain the crown at 9-9. Since Fischer was already world champ, I don't see it as crazy to request he remain champ at such a score. As for if Bobby was afraid of Karpov, the truth is we'll probably never know. Bobby's psychology was unreal, he could have had no worries at all, or been paranoid beyond believe he'd lose. But the fact is that Karpov was still developing, and despite his strength, I think it's highly unlikely young Karpov could have enough positional ability to beat against Bobby, who was just as positionally strong as Karpov, and probably stronger in most other senses then

[@RS-np2bk]

Fischer was 16 or 17 years old.

[@erikskov8759]

16

[@Pucerons]
