"I Don't Believe in Dragons" - Bobby Fischer

[@n1s7v10]

Bobby Fischer. At 16 years old he started becoming famous(16 is the number of the pieces for each side on the board) At (16x2) 32 years he stopped playing chess(half of the board) At (32x2) 64 years he died.(The number of squares on the chess board). Legendary

[@anti0918]

At 0 years old he was born. 0 is the number of pieces on an empty chess board. *BOOM*

[@ep-spdchess52]

the guy has become repititve and barely even seems to care about the games. His analysis has always been fishy, and so have his comments. There are two factors in his favor: First he is consistent, that is, he always uploads the newest games (and he is consistent in his errors, switching the person playing it even saying something like: "Carlsen tries to defend the e-pawn but now Carlsen goes in for the kill." Frequently mixing up squares, pieces and players ... horrible. The second factor is that he is so freaking average, that people just keep coming. xD

Sorry about pointing out the Tal resignation in your previous video. I hope you understand it wasn't malicious. I love Tal as well, so my heart lurched when I heard "In this position, Tal resigned the game". Wonderful content as always.

[@manigopal92]

Mister Noodle dude, you speak as if he hasn't lost a single game in his life. The BEST in any field, has to lose to become the BEST.

[@misternoodle1236]

Oh, not my intention either. I just saw the position as lost for his opponent and was shocked to hear of Tal's apparent resignation, now known to be a slip of the tongue.

[@sissyfist]

Mister Noodle how in the world did he resign with a slip of the toungue? Did he just blurt out "I resign"?

[@damiangilz]

Who cares

[@Neomalthusiano]

Tal is pure genius because of his brilliant sacrifices. However, the magic didn't pour in into every match. Unlike Fischer, Kasparov, Capablanca, etc... Tal should never be considered an undisputed player at any point. In fact, sometimes when he lost, he really lost it. Just check out the match against H. Mecking in 1975, when he begged to trade queens in order to relieve the pressure.

[@Hazeem4]

@Niranjan Rajesh you do realize that chess players get better with each generation due to computers. If carlsen and Fisher ever played I can guarantee u that carlsen would win. As kasparov (one of the greatest chess players I am sure u know of him) that each generation is better than the last it matters who dominated most in his era. Also Carlsens end game is the best ever

[@Hazeem4]

@Niranjan Rajesh but we never put that to the test lol even if Fischer was alive in top form. Also some of the stuff carlsen does in end game u cant prepare in advance

I just wanted to finally leave you a comment to say I find your channel fascinating. I've always loved games of tactics and strategy -- I play Dungeons and Dragons religiously as well as other RPGs -- but I didn't join the chess team in high school for some reason and never got into competitively playing chess. When I went back to graduate school in 2005 at the age of 35 at UWM in Milwaukee, WI, I tried playing games with the chess team there, but, one day, few people showed up, and one of the guys on the team played two of us at the same time and beat us both badly, and I never showed up again after that. It's really fascinating seeing your analyses and thought-process on the game. I had always thought about planning/tactics in chess in terms of the number of moves ahead of which one thought -- I thought one of the measures of a good computer chess program was how many moves in advance it thought -- but I now see the number of moves in advance of which one should think is variable, and one should take a sequence of moves to its sort-of "logical conclusion", however many moves in advance that may be -- 8 is not a large number of moves in advance of which to think, although that number seemed astronomical to me before I saw your channel. Chess game "analysis" is a fascinating endeavor (I'm told I use that Mr. Spock adjective too much). Please continue to post these videos, and I'll see if I can support you on Patreon or something.(Patreon would allow a monthly payment, instead of a 1-time thing; it's to what I'm used for these sorts of things.) Now, I suppose I have to find a bridge game analysis channel 😀

[@TheNickLavender]

I got my love for chess from my Uncle. He wanted to teach my sister but she showed no interest, and so I remember as a kid sliding into the seat at the table and asking him instead to teach me. That began a journey for me as a chess player. He was so good and analytical with his mind. I remember as a kid he would play me without his rooks and beat me every time! It was a horrible day when he died and I was crushed. After he passed, my grandmother gave me a chess set he had been working on. It was a beautiful porcelain set and he had been adding the felt circles to the bottoms of the pieces. When I got it he had only finished about half of the felt circles, so I completed them. That chess set was almost magical to me and I never lost a match when I used it. I keep it tucked away and each piece wrapped up. I eventually became the president of the Chess club at school and participated in a chess tournament of which I came in 3rd and had the opportunity to regularly spar with a rated master. I imagine my uncle looks down and smiles knowing that the game he passed on to me, is so greatly appreciated. I ended up passing what I knew to my younger brother and he ended up winning a tournament. Today, I play recreationally and each time I pull out a chess set, I remember my uncle and that one day when he took time out of his schedule to teach me. It is also amazing the community that exists within chess. Thanks for all the videos on this channel. I appreciate them!

A Bobby Fischer Story In 2009x, while in Rekjavík, I sought out a seat in some downtown bookstore where I'd heard Fischer would sit and nap, pretending to read, frequently before died. And one brisk summer after noon, and there I sat, held a book in my lap, and napped. "Who do you think you are, Bobby Fischer?" came the voice of Gunnar Someonesson. I bought that book, and 33 others (the Guðni Jonsson 1932 edition of the Icelandic Sagas and Eddas), and he drove me home down Laugavegr in his Iroc blastic "Cant Truss it" by Public Enemy.
