Magnus Carlsen vs Bobby Fischer - The Greatest Chess Game of All Time

This is the classic chess game between Magnus Carlsen and Bobby Fischer that made them both Grandmasters. Many chess experts consider this to be the greatest chess game of all time.
I've been commentating and analyzing chess games professionally for over 40 years and have finally decided to delve into the greatest chess game the world has ever seen.

This video helped elevate my chess game to a whole new level. I could never figure out why my king couldn't move like a knight. Now I know it is because it is a king, not a knight. Thanks a ton!

Honestly one of the funniest videos I've seen in a long time. The way you hold back laughter when the queen takes the king killed me.

[@dumbgirl8]

Ah yes, knight to h12, a classic.

[@Skurk12498]

This game is the highlight of Bobby's entire chess career. The fact that he was able to think of some of these moves is just simply brilliant and outstanding.

[@bengoldberg6198]

"Bobby is playing white and Magnus is playing black which is usually what happens in these scenarios." That line really tickled me.

[@MichaelKnight-y8m]

@ 4:00 . This is possibly the King with the biggest balls of all coz he just simply shakes off the bishop check and proceeded to capture the pawn which is protected by a rook.

[@MikeVR180]

My son and I really enjoyed this video. We didn't even know the rule about getting three additional moves after losing your king. Thank you!

[@xekind]

You had me at "Knight to h12"

[@Steveross2851]

There was one small error in this video. This game was actually played between Chat GPT and Alexa Chess when they were first starting out and a few years before they each became much stronger than Stockfish 16.

[@MichaelKnight-y8m]

Bishop takes queen while its actually a knight that made the move got me.

This is what my algorithm serves up when there's nothing from agadmator, GothamChess, or Eric Rosen. Or Hikaru, Anna Cramling, Alexandra Botez...

At the 4 min mark Bobby's king is in check, or am I wrong?

[@jamesgowing3856]

I don't understand this game as Bobby Fisher was in check for two moves without addressing the check

[@rmp3yt]

2:50 how did the white made two consecutive moves??? Ke5 and Qe6

[@johnmatthes8608]

I mean obviously Magnus was using Stockfish 3000....

[@davidanderson_surrey_bc]

Yep. You definitely do NOT want to move your king from e to 2.

[@RedMachineR9]

The way you just laugh in the end🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jeanherve3027]

7:54, mistake by fisher when he promotes his pawn to a queen. He miss this great sequence : a8 promote to knight, then knight b7, knight d5 take the king, knight c3 take the rook, knight d4 take the pawn and then magnus cant play any move so this is stalemate 1-0 for bobby. He was so upset he didnt saw this lane that he renamed himself Nakamura Hikaru and started to stream video game on twitch. Great analysis tho.

[@Davidbrownactor]

That's some alpha zero wizardy. No way Bobby could have calculated all that with his time constraints.

[@ugwokesullivan4751]

There was a move error....the black bishop put the king on check but you continued playing?.... Please review it

[@omarantar9132]

Why are people disliking, its a game between legends, can’t wait to apply these moves in my incoming games !

7:35 I think the White King just declared a tarantula wooden shield which makes him invincible for next 5 moves.

[@h3llpro]

One can realize the geniuses those two gentlemen are when they keep taking!

[@theroom1862]

@3.59 Black bishop checks white king. So how can white rook then take the pawn?

[@FMDoubleYou]

You can tell that you are definetly aware of chess rules and probably have watched some analysis videos. The puns like "Knight to H 12", "Takes takes" , "up a whole rook" show your knowledge.

[@yfitv]

H12 isn't even possible....What's the pun here ?

I don't see any logical reason why the two bishop sacrificing for nothing.

Edit: read the playlist title. I love you bro 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@manojmanjunath171]

I was lucky enough to watch this live!

[@reecewood1918]

So Magnus just ignores that he's in check for 11 turns. That's one way to win I guess...

[@JesseSpeaksclips]

5:55 when bobby moves the bishop and forgets what the pawn can do 🤣🤣🤣 this is funny tho

you got it wrong. Carlsen played the bong cloud in this game.
