Portoroz was the fourth FIDE interzonal, and the first one played outside of Sweden. It was a 21-player round robin, with the top six players qualifying for the Bled-Zagreb-Belgrade Candidates (1959) tournament, with the provisio that no more than four players from any one country could advance. (1) Chief arbiter: Harry Golombek, assisted by Vladimir Vukovic. (2) The tournament committee was composed of Gligoric, Averbakh, Neikirch, Rossetto and Ozren Nedeljkovic. The prize money for 1st through 12th places was 300.000, 225.000, 200.000, 150.000, 120.000, 100.000, 80.000, 60.000, 50.000, 45.000, 40.000, and 30.000 "dinarer". In addition, the remaining players received 2.000 dinarer for each point scored. Several special prizes were also offered. The opening ceremony featured the debut of the FIDE Hymn, composed by Dal Verme. (2)

[@samkachar]

Sometimes I can't tell who's having more fun. Agadmator or his dog.

[@nikithaamith6376]

Hahaha

[@mightybatillo]

Larsen: gives Fischer the bishop pair. Fischer: so you have chosen death?

[@themargrave]

One of the better analysis of a Fischer vs Taimanov game that I've ever seen. A worthy addition to his legacy. Thank you.

[@kylen6430]

Lol…I see what you did there

[@15chagO]

Taimanov is suffering even in the games he isn't playing :(

[@evi9740]

15chagO Taimanov was a good player.

[@schwebor]

Yea poor guy...

[@15chagO]

evi of course he was, I was refering to how he is mentioned in this vídeo even though he isn't playing, ironically against Fischer.

[@denislejeune9218]

eheh, nice one

[@priyanavthakur7014]

😂😂😂

[@siddharthjain8526]

Breakfast with Sicilian defense and lots of vast knowledge Lunch with Sicilian accelerated dragon and happiness and Dinner with Sicilian defense dragon variation and a tough game .that's how your day goes

[@abdullaahsan264]

najdorf variation missed?

[@gonzalo4658]

Abdulla Ahsan shut up

[@OriginalAimbot]

It's been so long we need to see the standings of 1959 candidates again.😂😂😂

[@sujaykherdekar7541]

Flamboyant Thug hahaha

[@12jswilson]

How will we know that Tal finished 20/28 (1.5 points clear first) if he doesn't show it in every video?

[@michaelhart7569]

8:03 Here White has a forced mate in 7, but that is too weak and too slow for Fischer. So instead he chooses the line that forces his opponent to resign in 3.

[@sujaykherdekar7541]

This was an easy win for Fischer compared to his other games against 'Taimanov'.😁

[@davidcopson5800]

@1:37, "Just a glimpse." That was certainly the truth!

[@qendrimsyla6495]

Thank you Agad. My love for chess is continuously growing mostly because of you. Thank you in the name of all because i know i'm not the only one.

[@cervgiovanni]

Thank you. The book said mate in 3. You helped clarify the endgame

[@joseenriquemunar8901]

Agad is so consistent with "Hello Everyone" just wow O.O

[@anom3778]

I am impressed how the opponents know they are going to lose ahead of time.

[@arrowghost]

Nice prologue to start Fischer's game against Larsen. Nice work! :)

[@gheffz]

Loved the game! And this comp was great prep for Tal in his 1960 world title.

[@rohansharma5487]

She's *Jennifer Shahade* offical commentator of Saint Louis chess coverage. 😍😀

[@tranduong6976]

[@alrik2148]

That's an understatement

[@pamansaru327]

Thanks for adding my knowledge about 1958 Portoroz Interzonal.

[@hubertsang7418]

Good work as always, the 1958 PORTOROZ INTERZONAL, the top six players qualified for the candidates, and also by this qualification, Fischer became a grandmaster.

[@gxfr795]

I’m an 18 year old player rated around 1500 lol, honestly Agad I love your content man, I probably watch 3-4 of your videos everyday before bed, keep up the great work man!

[@lauraoskene6992]

Compliments for the great Channel and for the series dedicated to the book of Fischer.

[@BennyBlawnk]

Shit I started playing less and watching ur videos more. Feels better to watch brilliance than blundering my queen away.

[@jamieqroberts]

Good episode for the dog. Some nice floor work.

[@meatonthetable1602]

Love that dog

[@AITullball8833]

Someone is having a lot of fun in the background!

[@sooooooooDark]

9:12 rook h1 checkmate is more devastating imo

[@scottjohnson7783]

More devastating than check mate?

[@sooooooooDark]

@@scottjohnson7783 its also mate but a cooler looking one

[@mikeock2087]

Scott you fuckin idiot

[@dimitrioskyriazis3817]

Antonio, I love how often you post! I get to watch your videos while having both lunch and dinner! Thank you! #ChessPlusFoodIsBliss

[@felixreim657]

I like that in your recent videos you widened the angle your camera is recording you ^^

[@sortehuse]

I hope you show more Fischer ca Larsen game. I think their styles fit each other well.

[@RaphaelKrutLandau]

I believe I have discovered the most relaxing sound in the world: the Agadmator Motet. To create your own, just play two to three agadmator chess commentaries at the same time.

[@RamiroLeiva]

I can't wait to see the video titled "Captures captures and mate"

[@jabastinrenu]

Agadmator videos are faster and timely like Japan bullet 🚆

[@techmath3628]

Your Pet is quite an expert in background music

[@richardfeynman5560]

Fischer was very young in 1958, but already a tough customer!

[@lagaleriaco3294]

Fischer vs Herman Pilnik from Santiago de Chile International Tournament in 1959, one of the most brutal attacks in Fischer´s legacy.

[@jimclercx4208]

I'm somewhat concerned that I haven't seen your sidekick the hilarious dog for a while! BRING BACK THE DOG!! :)

[@pawngrabber226]

With the super hyper accelerated dragon,the Sicilian Dragon is back,and with vengeance!

[@zeflinchess7728]

can never have enough fischer games :)

[@raygordonteacheschess5501]

Kasparov-Topalov 1999 is the defining game for this approach for White.

[@PwnyboyGolden]

Have you ever covered any great games featuring the “hippopotamus defense” (the modern) played via the black pieces. I am having trouble finding one but I know they are out there. This strategy for black interests me very much, I would love to see it played by a grandmaster

[@egayabiera7000]

Slaying the dragon!

[@raghuveersingh2319]

nice game thanks for such entertainment

[@dontmessat_chess8661]

I like that rook Captures Nh5 move

[@tomislavblazevic2742]

As a sidenote, it's worth mentioning that Dragon Sicilian proved to be a decisive weapon for Kasparov in his match with Anand, in 1995. Those two wins with black ultimately broke Anand's resistance. Obviously, he wasn't prepared for that variation at all.

[@vivek_yt]

Wow, Bobby played this game at 14 yrs of age.What a guy !!

[@Moonscope]

Dev Sarkar what a kid**

[@vivek_yt]

It doesn't matter. He was matured beyond his age.

[@michaelacevedo8921]

Please do all 60 Fisher Memorable games, it's mean to be!!

[@paulsummerfield6357]

Hi Agad,have you done any of Fischer's games from the 1970 Inter-Zonal tournament-his rating was over 2800 for that competition.

[@caiorolando8330]

3:00 - Actually, the Rauser variation against the Dragon Sicilian (9.O-O-O) was recommended in many recent grandmaster-level repertoire books, like Modernized: the Open Sicilian and the second edition of Dismantling the Sicilian. It is also the main line at the top level.

[@bleach4038]

fischer liked the Bc4 move, especially in the sicilian :)

[@SvetoslavBatsoev]

"Not you, Jennifer. Jennifer Yu."

[@WilliamJonesChess]

07:25 Sac on h5 starts here, then using the pin on the b3-g8 diagonal to play g6. A nice way to break through in this Dragon. 08:16 Beautiful move to swing the rook over.

[@dontmessat_chess8661]

I found only queen h6 not further moves

[@dontmessat_chess8661]

It was came to mind first

[@WilliamJonesChess]

@@dontmessat_chess8661 Fair enough. Rg1!! is a brilliant finish. It is hard to see.

[@dontmessat_chess8661]

William Jones Chess Show yeah

[@JHarder1000]

You should do Santa Monica 1966. It was there that Larsen played his two favorite games, both against Petrosian. and where Fischer had his brilliant second half, beating Najdorf, Portisch, Reshevsky , Ivkov, Donner and Larsen, and drawing only against, Unzicker, Petrosian, and Spassky.

[@timmykenny717]

What is your dog's name? How long have you lived together and his or her age? And is it a strong connection for you?

[@manu-ox4fe]

Larsen was Fisher's punching bag.

[@capablanca1412]

Can you analyse the 60 games from fishers book as along term series maybe ?

[@ulyssesvercosa6196]

He is not your employee lol

[@ferdinandmunoz3731]

When knight to c3 check, why doesn’t the bishop capture the knight ?

[@cygnustsp]

Very cool

[@christianhennessey1191]

Good photo challenge. Two active bishops.

[@stiliyaniliev9171]

Medo was very active today as well

[@kylen6430]

A line that Fischer fails to mention is after Rxh5, instead of taking immediately black can play Bxd4, qxd4 and only then play gxh5. After g6, Fischer gives the move Qe5…but doesn’t mention Rc4, closing down the bishops diagonal and offering material back.

[@Wally780]

Good assessment really interesting

[@NiteMeir]

Kek. Its the first time I've seen ads in your videos

[@Virgoak]

Jennifer Schadee! Wrong spelled may b but definitely her

[@dkn.205]

Jennifer Shahade. The picture is 4k, very clear :D

Anyone know a place that sells Larson style glasses like those?

[@someguyIvan]

yep

[@spmcdade901]

I think some more Taimarnov games are welcome. They might be easier to commentate on also:)

@agadmator I am from India. State - Kerala. Your hard core fan and of chess. Please help us. KeralaNeedsYourSupport #StandWithKerala #KeralaFloods As you may know, Kerala, a state in India, is going through the worst time of its history. We are exposed to tumultuous and disastrous flooding which have destroyed both our life and living. All the rivers, streams and lakes are overflowing throughout the states due to heavy rainfall. The shutter of all the dams have been opened and the water rush have washed away the towns and villages on it's flood path. The situation is much more frightening than we can explain. Over 1.5 lakh people are in rehabilitation camps. Even hospitals are under water. The count of the lives that we have lost and people missing are still not confirmed yet. The roads, bridges and homes damaged are beyond repair. Rivers have been spilling over and the hills are crashing down in landslides to thickly-populated settlements. Our government and rescue bodies are doing commendable work for saving each and every life, but are facing severe shortage of funds and resources. This has affected the efficiency of the rescue efforts, which also contribute to the increasing death toll. It is estimated unofficially that the cost of disaster can be up to 100 billion INR, which seems to be a huge fund for our small state. So hereby we are requesting your kind donation and aid towards relief fund of the state.Your valuable donations will grossly help us to ease our efforts for relief, re-habitilationand re-building. Unlike donations to national organizations that can take months to begin distributing funds, your support to us will have an immediate and substantial impact in our state. With your help,we can feed families who have lost everything in the aftermath of the flood, give them a warm place to stay and help rebuild the landmarks that make our Kerala such an amazing place to lives. So we kindly request you to join our effort to reclaim and rebuild our state . Any amount you decide to donate will be very much appreciated and will make a huge difference in the lives of our neighbors whose lives have been upended. Together, we can restore the place that we all know and love. We love you and we expect your kind effort towards this natural calamity.

agadmator's Chess Channel, done.

[@faridfares8338]

Hi agad first of all you are the best chess youtuber. Please make the crazy game Rapport /Jobava in Olympiad 2016 in Baku. Really an amazing game. Thanks from France

[@searchalexander5991]

The life and games of Mikhail Tal, page 104, about the Portoroz Interzonal 1958: "Great interest was also roused by the debut in the international arena of the youthful (15 years old) Robert Fischer. [...] He was often asked to give interviews and everyone was startled by the fact that Fischer, answering the question quite freely, said that on the whole he would have expected to take first place, but that this would be difficult, since first place could be taken by Bronstein. As far as I am aware, this is the first and the last time that Fischer voluntarily put someone else ahead of himself. However, Fischer had no doubt at all that he would finish in the first six. "But how will you do this", correspondents asked him. "Very simple. I reckon that I have to find five opponents against whom I can win. This means that I will win five games, and drew the rest", Fischer replied. "And suppose you lose to someone?" "That's nothing to worry about; them I will have to win six games". An incredible book, Tal was really a literature man and the book looks like a novel. Thanks Agadmator for brought me here!

[@istalonmingming9764]

4:12 you can captured back with the dark bishop?

[@bravo3808]

Its better to capture with pawn because you will win a pawn as white. If you capture with a bishop you will have double pawn after. Bxc3, bxc3

[@SoloDragonsDen]

Can anyone please explain why he at 04:12 is doing bxc3 instead of Bxc3 by bringing back the Black Bishop from g7?

[@daniel67797]

Hey Agad do you ever show fan games?

[@spoder22]

4:09 why not bishop takes knight?

[@chessvibes3182]

Coz ultimately pawn structure will be messed up by bishop takes knight pawn takes bishop queen takes pawn queen takes queen and pawn takes queen

[@fabiogaucho77]

How do you feel about doing all the games from Fischer's 60 memorables? Not in a row, of course, but your channes has such high output that you could do it in a couple of years without sacrificing the other games you want to show.

[@ahmadshokry5945]

That was the 14 years old Fischer !!

[@benashley2955]

what is it about the Pirc/Dragon that means you can 'just push h4 and win' that's different from the KID?

[@uwu-bk9te]

Anyone got the source of the thumbnail? (the picture of bobby Fischer smirking)

Sorry agadmator it's 11:30 PM in my country. So I couldn't see the video😉. But i saw it in my dream & I didn't recognise the person in the photo. But finally I can say my dream came true. Bent Larsen vs Bobby Fischer from 1958. I swear I didn't see the video 😜🤣

[@fl00ds]

At 4:12 why not bishop takes knight on b3?

[@armaanmalhotra9042]

🔥🔥🔥

[@suparthghimire1644]

Larsen in the Picture seems like Leonardo DiCaprio from Revenant!

[@amitbharati8941]

[@richarddennis365]

#suggestion Nice prelude to Fischer-Larsen there. As a prelude to Fischer-Petrosian which will be coming up, how about the Fischer-Petrosian 4 Queens Game?

[@yasir5422]

those minor mistake makes the video more realistic nice game by Taimanov and bobby

[@jurjenvanderhoek316]

9:13 Rh1++ is a much nicer checkmate (the lower the piece the better)

[@anand.s.manjeri9278]

@agadmator Pls add the helpless situation of our state in today's video. Just 1 min. So that anyone who can might support us. Please. - Love and regards.

[@ryczardpetroo2458]

Well, Larsen could force a draw-line but instead he preferred to choose a losing one :) still interesting game, even for 1265+ players

[@ggidd4322]

1265+, is this a joke?

[@mstfici2685]

6:13 why not taking the pawn with knight instead of moving the rook??

[@hammondvoodoo9555]

If you take on h5 with the knight instead of Rc8 then you lose the "dragon" bishop. You can take back with that same knight but then Qh6 should be winning. If the black king takes back the bishop on g7 it's not much better either.

[@real_anil9688]

Wish you would say in title ,whether match was Won, or Drawn. I prefer wins to watch - thanks.

[@martinprieto9713]

I was hoping to improve my... "vast" knowledge... Why is it so good for black to push d5 in the sicilian?

[@ziadoonahmed9160]

Taking space in the center also close the diagonal of the white square bishop

[@ziadoonahmed9160]

And u saw that white square bishop was stronger than rock and equal to queen in strength 😁

[@sujoysengupta2734]

@4:03 after Bxg7 Nc3+ why not Bxc3?

[@minhtrinh7440]

Bxc3 then Black would play bxc3 attack the Queen, and the Black's King is safe on g8 instead of g7

[@saratkumar2009]

At 7:07 of video, can't we try Nh5 to break Queen's support to Rook, n may get Rooks guard the F pawn from White Q n Bishop n also black queen to the black square diagonal to rescue the king; may lead to a draw..still a variation

[@SnazzyZubloids]

Larsen had great hair for a while there lol Oh and also... I think that's Jen Shahade and she's here in STL right now. Not sure if she's a resident at the StlCC&SC or just there for commentating.

[@davidcopson5800]

Tal had nice hair up to the age of 23. Soon after it was terrible. Best hair in chess = Spassky; worst hair =Tal.

[@InvalidFingerprint]

At 6:56, black has Kf7 no?

[@isaacgonzalez7909]

At 4:08, why not Bxc3, instead of bxc3?

[@dr.eisenmenger8605]

Wow i didnt know if 15 years old bobby was looking like that

[@groovybuddha667]

At 4:10 why not bishop recaptures knight on c3?

[@kylen6430]

Fischer mentions this line in his book. Basically as the line goes, white does win a pawn, but it’s a doubled c pawn and as black moves rook to c8, it’s rendered worthless
