Outclassed! - Legendary Streak Continues | Fischer vs Larsen | (1971) | Game 1

[@markhamilton3477]

In 1971, I interviewed him in New York just after he had returned from winning a chess tournament in Buenos Aires, becoming the challenger for Boris Spassky's title. In his previous candidates' matches, he had beaten the Soviet Union's Mark Taimanov by a score of 6-0, and had followed that by absolutely pulverizing Bent Larsen, the Great Dane, by another 6-0 whitewash. Taimanov I could understand. He was not in Fischer's league. But Larsen! That Danish player was the strongest in the West, aside from Fischer himself. Nobody can take Larsen by a 6-0 score. I asked him how he did it. ''Well,'' Fischer said, ''you have to know that Larsen is a romantic. He likes wild positions. He likes to throw you off with crazy moves. Another thing about Larsen. If he wins the first few games, he is unbeatable. He gets this confidence, you know, and you can't beat him. But if he loses the first few games, he loses confidence and sort of folds up. ''Anyway,'' said Fischer, ''we started our first game and around the 10th move he threw something at me. He figured to catch me by surprise. But when I looked at the position, I remembered it was something that Steinitz had tried against Lasker in the 1894 championship match. If I hadn't known that position, I might have spent a lot of time figuring it out and maybe I couldn't even have done it on my clock. But once I saw the position, I remembered that I had once analyzed it, and I knew Larsen was dead. When I played the right move, Larsen knew that I knew, and he lost the game and also the next five.'' > Source: NYTIMES, "Cold War in the World of Chess" by HAROLD C. SCHONBERG, Sept 27, 1981.

[@richardbird4784]

I and other's, including many World Champions, including Anand, Agree Fischer was the Best, ever was! Fischer, Really thought highly of Morphy, 'Morphy was Very Accurate.'

[@robd1339]

Such a deep exchange sacrifice. The power of those 2 bishops on the long diagonal both protecting the king and simultaneously supporting the advance of the passed pawn is remarkable.

[@NationalSportsEntertainmentNSE]

Yeah I love knights but a pair of bishops should count as around 10. Knights are not rateable as of all of the pieces their value completely changes with positioning But yeah Bobby understood 2 bishops beat a bishop and rook in an endgame. The rook is incredibly valuable but he is 50% defense. So I’m considering an endgame where you don’t have time to move a piece with tempo it’s brilliant to set yourself up with the bishop pair

The most beautiful game I've ever seen. It's truly different. The way Fisher figured the way to solve varying problems such as promoting the pawn, protecting check from Queen or even potential tricks. This is calculation at its finest. Our world champion today, Carlsen, wouldn't come close to his precision. Ive seen too much one way calculations. This game really displayed multiple way calculations. I am truly stumped by his true potential.

Regarding your comment on Fischer studying Russian, I also studied it in high school so I could subscribe and read the Russian newsletter "64."

Bobby Fischer was a great combination of amazingly high IQ and an Excellent almost photographic memory. That is what I think created the genius who dominated his opponents to such a stunning degree. Rest in peace Robert J. Fischer.

[@quantummath]

I didn't know (haven't yet read) about Tesla's interest in chess. I read a brief biography of his early life and especially his struggles for realizing his new inventions, almost every single of which are a revolution on their own. Tesla was one of the great geniuses who has ever walked this planet. Sadly he died alone and rather poor in a hotel room in New York, despite the potential earnings he could have had through his royalties and shares that he gave up. @Arminius Hermann @@arminiushermann09

[@arminiushermann09]

@@quantummath Yes he was. Sorry, I should of written that better. I was just giving a hypothetical situation. Meaning if Tesla was into chess (which I don't know If he was either) but if he played tournaments, I don't think anyone from any age period could of beaten him because his mind was true engine like. And he knew so many languages like Ficher did and if he studied all chess magazines on opening theory an endgames an what not with his true photographic memory, no one could beat him. His mind was the great chess game of all, as he only made the right moves.

[@quantummath]

I believe he would have been an exceptionally competent chess player as well. I know people who are on the genius level when it comes to aspects of mathematics or other intellectually demanding fields of study. Some of them have a strong affinity with chess; others are at best average players. I am not sure, but I firmly believe competence in chess strongly correlates with strengths in 1. visual memory, 2. pattern detection/recognition, 3. fluid IQ, and 4. the ability to focus intensely and patiently for a relatively long time. If one element is missing, I think one might manage to be a great player but nowhere near world-class level.
