I knew William Lombardy well. I still have a reference letter that he wrote for me for my resume.

[@chessdawg]

Wow, that is really great! He seemed like an interesting man.

[@UlyssesDrax]

@@chessdawg Yeah, he was an interesting dude. He was a tragic figure though, sadly. He had it tough being in the shadow of Fischer. Man, he used to talk a lot. I mean a lot. We used to go to Rockaway Beach and he'd talk and talk, mostly about himself being one of the few chess prodigies, the women in his life, his issues with chess and having no money. Fascinating stories.

[@TheGrandmasterMan]

@@UlyssesDrax Interesting stuff ! Chess can take over your life if you let it.

[@joepoppy3264]

Thanks for showing this game Dawg! One of the more interesting,if fairly unknown Fischer games

[@joeb4142]

@@UlyssesDraxModern grandmasters have so many more options to pay the bills.

[@Socialdogma]

Lombardy was Fischer’s second in the 1972 championship matches.

[@thomasherbst6771]

Yes, but only pro forma. He had no advisory function in chess.

[@thomasherbst6771]

Once again a very educational game. The transition to a won pawn ending is instructive.

[@thomasherbst6771]

I'm surprised Lombardy didn't resign after the black b6. It was clear that Black would get the distant passed pawn and nothing could be done about it.

[@smegheadGOAT]

Great rundown and to the point commentary

[@shamiir1812]

Beautiful game, thank you

[@Home_of_the_Brave]

I can’t believe his parents named him William William Lombardy. That’s hilarious. You taught me some great chess trivia!

[@R.Akerman-oz1tf]

Well "James" is almost a plurality(ha).

[@jacquespineau2826]

Very good comments. Guided by clear principles without too much computer analysis only those well understood

[@AI-xi4jk]

Excellent video as always!

[@andro99991]

Great job! I am curious though-why are you only covering Bobby’s early games (1959-1962)?

[@markhughes7927]

Nice when the strategic chess mind begins to click in - feels like a rite of passage!

[@alwaysinout]

Great video

[@HRaz100]

Great video - very instructive!

[@R.Akerman-oz1tf]

Perfect explanation. But, I'd rather people refrain from saying "every other" as it is ambiguous. How about "any other" or "all other" squares.

[@Mach1Airspace]

Excellent!

[@OmarAMuhammadThM]

That was good. Thanks Chess Dawg

[@banzaiburger9589]

Love the clear plan and seemingly basic pawn and king endgame. Maybe things were different back then but after a5, it would be unseemly for a GM not to have resigned immediately if this game happened today

[@FredPlanatia]

true but nice Lombardy played a few more moves. Its easier for us peons to understand the winning strategy.

[@johnman5537]

Dude were you cast in apollo 13?

[@user-ts2co4ov5h]

More LESSER KNOWN Fischer games please

[@MrGyges]

I really enjoyed it chessdawg: you’re a pedigree.

[@beepboop204]

[@RearAdmiralTootToot]

Nice game, but the video title is misleading. For those who wanted to know, the secret to chess success is: be Magnus Carlson.

[@19037vinny]

What was the secret he got from Morphy?
