In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov analyzes a game played by Bobby Fischer (Robert James Fischer) as White in a Simul Event in New York on May 24, 1964. Fischer played against 34 opponents in this Simul and he won against all of them!
In this game, he played the aggressive Bishop's Opening which happens after the first moves: 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4. He played an aggressive variation 4.f4 which is similar to the King's Gambit setup. He set a really cool trap and checkmated his opponent in just 16 moves!

[@twentyrothmans7308]

I think that the temptation of Nxc2+ is always too great for a weak player like I. I see it as a mini-checkmate - a major piece for a knight or nothing, if you can get him out again. But if I'm fixated on it, my opponent will attack on the kingside. These are wonderful videos. Thank you.

[@dpayO2]

You just take on g5 threatening mate on h7. black has to give up the rook. Then mate on g7 is unstoppable. A quicker mate is Rh1! avoiding issues with g5

[@mikekalish6796]

I don't see why black wouldn't push the pawn on g7 to protect the knight on h5 and prevent Qxg7. (at 5:00 into the video)

[@belmirotancredoculita1831]

Hi Igor, but here black lost the chance of forking the the knight and bishop in the 3. move of the game!

[@penismightier4303]

I didn't find either of the solutions given by other people here, which were Nf3 or Rh1, and both moves seem like valid and excellent solutions within my mediocre/impatient puzzle solving abilities. However, I did find a move for black which may technically break the puzzle for either solution, by forcing white to either mate in two, or then be unable to do any move that mates on the third. The move in either case is 1 .. Rg7??! Whatever white did for his first move, he must now capture the rook on g7 with his queen for a checkmate in two. Capturing with the pawn allows the black king an escape square on g8, from which there is no mate possible on white's third move. In fact white would blunder and lose his queen and the game if he pre-moved 2.Qxh7 on the 1.Rh1 variant. Thus the puzzle may need to state "mate in three moves or less" (or similar) to avoid pedants calling foul, but the only people I can think of who would disqualify a 2-move mate as a valid solution to a "mate in 3" puzzle are insurance brokers, gambling bookmakers, or FIDE representatives.

[@delboy9234]

It's always mate in the stated number of moves, against the defence that holds out the longest. If Black wishes to commit suicide and play 1....Rg7(?), it just means White achieves the goal quicker.

[@markhunter9303]

check mate puzzles assume best play from the losing side too, therefore R g7 is bad because as you say its mate in 2 not 3

[@TheAnshuman1974]

Rg7??!! It invites Qxg7# straightaway. What a stupid move! And such a long remark to justify that move! Invaluable! 👌👏

[@georgevelb]

With Nf3 it's a mate in four

[@jayobsioma3583]

Rh1

[@ctsirkass]

h3 was an innacuracy by Fischer! He could play fxe5 and force Bxf3 avoinding h3 and thus saving a tempo (if you do not take the night and instead you capture back on e5 then bxf7+ Kxf7 Nxe5 forking king and bishop).

[@ndubstar]

Thats a good open because youwin the horse if he takes your horse.

[@Halibut86]

Rh1 Qxh7+ Kg1++ Interesting since several other move orders don't work. If you give black 1 extra tempo, the king can slip away, however on-board black has no useful moves and MUST defend g7++ with the rook

5:46 why you want to do Rf8, king can easily escape d2 -> c1 then after knight sacrifice at max, rest of the logic doesn't make sense. Also no one would keep bishop to c4 for such long, seeing these attack it can be easily eliminated, may be pushing pawn to d5 earlier
