Pawn storm by Bobby Fischer: Fischer vs Cardoso

[@tedceldor]

Striking the centah and taking out the defendah. Nice video Mato.

[@mychannel594]

HI THIS IS MATO

[@user-ts2co4ov5h]

Fisher was only fourteen when he played this beautiful game

[@FaheemKudo]

I spent like 3 hours watching your videos. I can't stop. It's addicting.

[@messioftheguitar]

I saw that bishop sacrifice was promising...but seeing all the combination past the queen exchange...wow,that is much beyond my reach. Good job Mato, as usual.

[@MatoJelic]

Thank you for your comment

[@bobfree1226]

Fischer all the way. Aside from what James said, I also want to add that Fischer was largely self taught and never worked with anyone ,that included his training for the world championship match! Fischer's strongest tournament finishes, including his 6-0 whitewash against Taimanov and another 6-0 against Larsen, was lauded by Kasparov himself who wrote that no World Champion had ever shown a superiority over his rivals comparable to Fischer's "incredible" 12-0 score in the two matches. Simply put , What Fischer did was remarkable. His passion for the game was unmatched..While Lasker was a Mathematician, Smyslov an Opera Singer, even Kasparov a politician today, Fischer lived and breathed for the game and his universe resided purely within the 64 Squares of the Chess board. In his own words "Chess is life". Had he had access to chess engines and further knowledge of opening theory that arose in the last two decades, I believe could have shred anyone to bits in his prime , (26-28 yrs)

[@benjohnk622]

Fischer is a waste...

[@drmohamedelhakem9903]

yes he was great but the movie pawn sacrifice didnt give him what he deserve

[@stylezofom]

My dad's favorite player is Bobby Fischer. He was a champion in Kuwait. After watching your videos I can see why. What a player. After watching almost every video you've posted My 2 favorite players are Fischer and Tal. Keep up the good work.

[@perodronjic8933]

Mato Respekt svaki dan pratim ove Igre a i tvoje su klasicne

[@willwroble9904]

Sozin attack is extremely effective against air benders.

[@icervoid]

:D:D:D:D Have seen the movie.

[@lepredator189]

Air bendah

[@xXxBladeStormxXx]

+icervoid get outta here idiot we're talking about the tv show, one of the best shows ever made. Not that abomination of a movie.

[@MatoJelic]

Thank you for this very instructive comment

[@MatoJelic]

The reason for this is that Bobby Fischer loves to eye down the f-pawn, putting pressure on black.

[@MatoJelic]

Thanks

[@MatoJelic]

Thank you

[@ADREANO1]

I have been playing chess for many years and you, Mato,are the best teacher I have come across.Keep up the good work

[@zolikoff]

Yes, the second "guess the best move" part that I figure out! I'm getting in the hang of this...

[@sampadabhangaonkar5719]

Dear Sir, your game inthis session of the most superlative grandmaster Bobby Fischer is interest ing and instructive as sozin attack against sicilian defense is popularised by him and he had won many games which entitled him as Sicilian killer. The pawn storm attack followed by well calculated Bishop sacrifice is noteworthy feature of his attacking style. Such games provide excellent guidelines of how to launch stormy attack even in same castle position.

[@MrSimonvk]

It is fascinating how good these guys can play. When Mato asked about the winning move I thought about sacrifising the bishop too but could not see how to win after that.

[@dragondomestifier]

Watching your videos is by far better than watching the newest Hollywood blockbusters. Thank you for all the effort.

[@7mean7bunny7]

Mato, I haven't been watching your videos for very long, but I must say your voice is very relaxing and the way you emphasize on unexpected good moves is very entertaining. Very good game. It was fun to see Fischer utilize the pawn storm successfully. It is a tactic you do not see every day. Great video.

[@markbutler6788]

Wow those were some good defensive moves...Fischer was just too relentless.

[@TheCamillusvickerman]

Excellent, as usual, but one of my personal favorites...Mato, you are a commendable storyteller with chess pieces...my friend.

[@123youknowme]

Love it! Thanks so much for explaining and giving us a great example of a perfect pawn storm.

[@MatoJelic]

Viva Brazil

[@MatoJelic]

20. Rh3! is good move and so is 20. Nd5! Why he didn't play it I don't know.

[@MatoJelic]

Viva Portugal

[@ashishleomessi]

The thing that makes bobby fisher is that he had very different playing styles.. He had a variety of game plan.. Anyways great video and great commentary..

[@LvJols]

Bravo Mato. Very clear. Thanks

[@MrTimbonator]

My english is not very good, but i understand everything. Your videos are very nice to watch and hear.

[@mozartslittleboy]

Awesome videos Mato! Keep it up always, big fan

[@DexterHaven]

Cardoso was a young prodigy too, so this match was much anticipated.

[@willv1079]

Call me crazy, but the pawn is my favorite piece. They have so many uses, and you have 8 of them!

[@aseolin]

Hello from Brazil!!!

[@Pablo66616]

that was so powerful attacking pawn, sometimes that strategies are one way to deal with Sicilian dragon play especially when combining sozen attack @ 1st then followed by pawn storm =) good video

[@donlimmortale]

fischer proves that chess is an art,slowly knitting the game in a glorious way

[@crisra8721]

you know mato you could actually be a real pro commentator you have the voice!

[@MEME-qe4ze]

CrisRaن٠mato is awesome!

[@rubix71]

and where is new york?

[@madbeast15]

Very instructive, thank you.

[@johnlado4856]

What is the best way to learn how to play chess .. is there a good online site to play on?

[@hahahiko]

Great video Mato! Bobby Fisher games are always really interesting.

[@TheCamillusvickerman]

My favorite game of all time, ever, is Laskers immortal kingwalk, Mato made exxxxxcellent video

[@paperpopper1290]

Wow, I only remembered that the queens were off the board when you said it

[@drnantz]

I love Mato! Very concise.

[@djst2good137]

Nice job Mato, keep it up

[@TheElectricShaman]

I think there is another simpler move at 3:32 Fischer can move his queen to H6, and the only way to defend it is BF6, which, after BxF6 and E7xF6, leads to the same structure in a quicker sequence of steps. Please tell me if there is a serious problem with this. Pawn can't take queen as there is a discovered check by the bishop at D4.

[@L4wLiP0p]

instead of Bf6 you can play f6 can't you?

[@mattherzberg991]

I was looking at this too. f6 with the pawn just stops the attack

[@mattherzberg991]

Rg8 loses instantly. Qxh7! KxQ Rh3#

[@hqwebsolutions]

Great pawn storm :)

[@Squelch133]

Got it! Saw the attack though I would not have been able to give that end game.

[@DexterHaven]

Hehe, I liked your fake out with Ne2 before BxP+.

[@D3ADR1GHT]

at 4:13 would f6 work too?

[@josephroda7110]

Thank sir mato CARDOSO IS OUR CHESS FILIPINO PLAYER❤

[@maartenwestermann8229]

At 23, why not g6 or QH6? Leads to mate.

[@jefersonxadrez]

mais um excente video

[@drkapilpianist2792]

At 4:47 what if bishop or rook takes at F3

[@venusgjemini5497]

Sir ! ; how are you ! ; very lovely vedio 👌 ! .

[@johncraftenworth7847]

PAWN STORM!!!

[@SurrogateSelf01]

Where the moves on the black side forced after the bishop sacrifice or did he have a way out?

[@ahmadomari1000]

9.Bb3 Nc6 mato i saw fischer play Bb3 in many games , whats the aim of this move ??

[@thefuckinvoodoo]

very nice vid. thank you mato

[@little3ndler]

I love a good pawn storm :D

[@drchelebi]

3:47 pawn f6

[@tanveeraliawan3046]

F6 definitely would b checkmate soon

[@subitarionutgard2803]

And where is New York?...

[@diosdadoapias]

+Insomnus Utgard New York is in New york North America.

[@mrfreem110]

am i missing something, before they exchanged queens. Fischer had mate if he takes pawn at H7 with queen

[@FALCONo9i]

there was check so he couldnt do it

[@Streamwalker1000]

Very nice

[@shirshakbt]

What if instead of Bxg7 QH6?

[@joakimcullin2757]

Why did Cardoso resign? Could've captured the pawn with the king?

[@atakancelik8656]

at 2.38 why pawn takes pawn why not castle to H3 am i missing something

[@MrSupernova111]

2:42 Is that a lightsaber I hear in the background? Mato, are you a Jedi?

[@mattherzberg991]

At the pause was thinking Qh6 ...Rg8 Qxh7 ...KxQ Rh3# but black can simply play f6 instead of Rg8

[@jacktheknife100]

I am probably missing something (or a lot of things) but instead of 23. Bxg7+ at "the critical position", how about 23. Qh6. ? Then 23... Rb8 I believe is forced due to... (if 23... Bf6??, 24. Bxf6, now 24... Rb8 is forced, 25. R1f2 with Rh3 coming and no defence that I can see) So we have 23... Rb8, 24. g6, fxg6 25. fxg6 and Qxh7# is coming next move. Please tell me what I'm missing :)

[@lepredator189]

Your variation tree isn't wide enough (Qh6? f6), and your board vision sucks (there's a rook on b8 already).

[@jacktheknife100]

At 3:59, there's not a rook on b8 already (unless we're watching different videos!), I concede that at the time of posting the comment I hadn't considered 23... f6. However the position is still interesting after 24. gxf6, gxh6 25. fxe7+, Kb8 26 exf8=Q, then either king or rook takes the newly promoted queen. Not sure who has the edge there, haven't put it into the computer yet :).

[@delsub2]

at 4.44 why not Rf3 ?? the rook at f2 is pinned.

[@benjoles9623]

Why does black play B4? Why not Queen takes rook?

[@aaronwalderslade]

I find mate on h1 more elegant. and I did guess the move but only instinctively

[@Mr.DeeJay954]

Mato I love your videos, and you need to train me, seems like you know a lot about chess

[@paoyang1992]

At 04:43 H7 why not just check mate on H7?

[@rongo6690]

White was in check from the Black Queen.

[@paoyang1992]

James Padfield wow thank :D

[@Enigmaprince]

***** lol :))

[@dariodesansebastian]

***** I thought about that too. As I'm not very experienced on chess I presumed there was a better move

[@TheBlazingshinobi]

what if Qh7 at 3:42?

[@LJLMETAL]

Great game. I wonder who would win in a game between Fischer and Kasparov? That would of been a match I would pay to see

[@NYCBG]

+Lawrence Lepes would HAVE been

[@diosdadoapias]

+Lawrence Lepes what i want to see is Tal and Kasparov in a regular game of chess not blitz. because in a regular match both will be critically think for each of their move.

[@NYCBG]

There would have been a terrific match between Fisch and Tall. No meatillisn about it.

[@miretchin]

after queen h6, why not pawn to f6?

[@hans8254]

Good

[@danielayub6342]

Why didn't he play 24. f6 instead of 24.Qh6+?

[@gigas81]

I think Cardoso was sticking to whatever game plan he had but he could tried a different line towards the middle of the game to keep fischer back a little while. Fischer just went on ahead and just attacked that castled side not even caring what was going on. hehe

[@khaledalshehri788]

at 4:20 why not pawn to f6 then queen to g7 checkmate?

[@khaledalshehri788]

John Smith you are right .. thanks

[@abdullaalkobaisi2126]

After Rg8 then pawn takes bishop and queen to f6 check mate

[@Crax0r]

fischer is my fav. player

[@khairiomer3629]

Fisher is really talented but Tal is coming from another universe

[@diabl2master]

after black pawn takes F5 white can bring the rook to H3 no?

[@valerierouse9224]

There is no mate. Blacks h7-h6 defends it well enough as a (g5xh6) pawn capture would expose the white queen to attack from the bishop on e7. Whites queen is forced to retreat.

[@diabl2master]

+Valerie Rouse true

[@kevinbyrne4538]

@5:09 -- I would not have thought of gxh7, confronting Black's king with a dilemma: take the rook and lose, or take the pawn and lose.

[@samlarson48]

After queen h6, why not queen h7? isn't that checkmate? *around the 4:50 mark

[@Frostgaming335]

What happen if in critical position king not take the bishop (move to g8)

[@PaulDormody]

f6 covers the bishop and attacks e7.

[@jorik0907]

at 4:22, wouldnt f6 have been good?

[@locutusdborg126]

Fischer was a true genius. He had deep chess intuition.

[@wanomarfwanmahmudk891]

why not just move pawn at 4:10 from f5 to f6

[@reteipdevries]

Stockfish gives a draw after 25.g6- (fxg6-fxg6-Rf7!)

[@soccerfreak29292]

At 3:46 what if Fischer moved F5 pawn forward to F6. The capturing would commence and end with his queen on F6, protected by the bishop on D4, and putting the black king in check. From here it would rather simple to put black in checkmate.

[@Enigmaprince]

I actually thought about the same move becoz it has lots of tempo the bishop is aligned with king and queen is there to support as well. Even if black plays pawn g6 it wont save him

[@zerussianrcoming2227]

gxf6 gxf6 Bd8 Qh6 Rg8 and the attack is over.

[@isaiahgabrieltabu8789]

Hey Mato Please make a video about Cardoso beating Fischer + Cardoso is the only player from the Philippines to defeat bobby fischer

[@rasputozen]

Instead of 23. Bxg7, why not 23. Qh6? The logical move for black from there is Rg8 and then white would play g4, how can black stop the mate?

[@v1991c]

This was a fantastic game, since after 25...Qc5+, both players played the perfect move for each position in the board! The problem is 25...Qc5 is kind of a blunder! After that, what happened in the game was unavoidable..even though black played every move perfectly! Its hard to play being black after move 25.g6 But in my opinion, after the exchange[25...fxg6 26.fxg6] black should instead play 26...Rf7. loses a rook but stops white's attack and gets counterplay, even winning the rook back later!

[@kakababaasd123]

now we have reeched kreetical possesion

[@PatrickRecordon]

A good way is to watch Mato's vids and stay patient

[@MatoJelic]

Illegal move

[@davidtraveller]

I thought so too, but ... Rg8.

[@michatroschka]

fischer plays very sharp!

[@user-pm4ko9uk8g]

At 4:51 why cant queen take h7?
