The 1970 Interzonal was held in Palma de Mallorca from November 9-December 12, and was the last Interzonal held as a one-section round robin. With the tournament swelling to 24 players and further expansion on the way, future changes were inevitable. The following players vied for six slots in the candidates matches to be held in 1971: William G Addison, Miroslav Filip, Robert James Fischer, Efim Geller, Svetozar Gligoric, Vlastimil Hort, Robert Huebner, Borislav Ivkov, Eleazar Jimenez Zerquera, Bent Larsen, Milan Matulovic, Henrique Mecking, Dragoljub Minic, Renato Naranja, Oscar Panno, Lev Polugaevsky, Lajos Portisch, Samuel Reshevsky, Jorge Alberto Rubinetti, Vasily Smyslov, Duncan Suttles, Mark Taimanov, Wolfgang Uhlmann, Tudev Ujtumen..
Ujtumen from Mongolia, about as outside as an outsider could get, actually held the lead by himself after round 3. However, reality and Robert J. Fischer set in, as the American quickly soared to a dominating position. The other contenders didn't worry about it too much; after all, you only had to finish in the top six to qualify for the Candidates, and there was even a seventh spot open for a reserve. So they played it safe, while Fischer kept working hard.
At the quarter pole following round 6, Fischer had 5.5 points and a 1.5 point lead on Geller, Gligoric, Larson, Panno, and Ujtumen. But then came a bad stretch: he managed to draw lost positions in round 7 and 8, but Larsen didn't let him off the hook in round 9. By now the lead had vanished, as Geller joined Fischer at the top with 6.5.
That led to the critical round 12 encounter between the leaders, Geller holding a half-point lead and playing the White pieces. Any normal grandmaster, when Geller offered an early draw, would have accepted to get an easy half-point closer to qualification. Fischer, hungry for a win after five rounds without one, refused.
Geller played inaccurately and lost a pawn, reaching a difficult rook ending. Eventually, a hallucination and a final mistake sealed his fate, and Fischer took the lead. The rest was a matter of technique: Fischer won two more in a row, took a couple of draws for a breather, then started his famous streak with full points in his last seven games.

[@CollideAhYom]

It's funny that whenever I watch a Fischer game I always expect him to win. When the end game develops and his position starts to fade my brain starts a feedback loop of "how will he get out of this? There's no time!"

[@brinosacheryl4348]

Karpov on the right and Semyon Furman in the left.

[@eddymugira7099]

Blunder's Gambit is my favourite opening. only I have mastered it.

[@vendingdudes]

LOL!

[@Mazer19944]

Agdamator doesn't understand why Fischer resigned either. So he just skipped it. Clever move, maybe a disgusting engine line.

[@hitrapperandartistdababy]

Isnt it just Rook to B2 then after whatever Fischer plays then Rook to G1 Checkmate? Or am I missing something?

[@sortehuse]

​@@hitrapperandartistdababy It's Fischer to move when he resigned.

[@hitrapperandartistdababy]

@@sortehuse Im guessing since no matyer what Fischer does the rook will still happen. Even if he where to try and promote larsen will promote with a discovered checkmate

[@sortehuse]

@@hitrapperandartistdababy Fischer has lost no matter what, but he could play Rc2.

[@hitrapperandartistdababy]

@@sortehuse yeah, there are quite a few playable moves but mostly all including Rook C5 leads to black pawn promotion which could pick up the other rook

[@gabe6281]

2:30 It is a chess cake. You can see Bobby stick his index finger in the icing. Larsen thought about sticking in two fingers, but changed his mind halfway.

[@sebastiancruxian6518]

Why not "Why did he resign? Well, ..." part?

[@TheKrazyLobster]

There's no stopping that pawn from queening now, as the King will never leave the back rank

[@sebastiancruxian6518]

@@TheKrazyLobster I was asking because that is what Agadmator usually say after one of the players resign, not because i didnt know why Fischer resign.

[@god_lokk]

rh5 would have prevented the pawn with no repercussions?

[@hitrapperandartistdababy]

@@god_lokk Im guessing if he did that then Black would move Rook to B3 and then once white has moved move the other rook to G1 with checkmate?

[@robertpsotka3525]

@@TheKrazyLobster just what I was thinking, the king is stuck

[@lagaleriaco3294]

Bent Larsen was an incredibly creative player, a deep thinker, with an unique style and wasn´t afraid of taking risks to get the whole point. Sadly, he is forgotten now.

[@hitrapperandartistdababy]

Damn! As a Dane myself this is really cool. I really had no idea we had such a experienced chess player in Denmark!!

Anatoly Karpov and his Trainor Semyon Furman.

[@crbrearley]

Ah, you are likely right. It didn't look like Furman to me but then I've only seen a picture or two of him.

[@746246140641]

My two favorite players Larsen and Fischer Finally.

[@Brandon-a-writer]

Karpov played a couple of games against Hou Yifan recently. She won two of the games, I think. comment unrelated xD

[@Dan1elAndrade]

Our vast knowledge won't increase by itself without these comments!!!

[@lwazinkoe3886]

If a couple is 2 then Hou won all games.

[@thaddtermeer6688]

Agadmator I really love how you included those tactics from Tal and that bishop move. Really helps my game

[@BryanN4]

3:28 And here Agadmator could go for "Sorry about that", but he misses it

[@bobfree1226]

Fischer won 72% of his games Not counting his dominance in Blitzs games. he lost most of his games at 15 rys old when he ist came to Russia apr 26,1958 . he played Tal world champion at that age. kasparov won like 63% .karpov 62 % carlsen 62% fischer was the best ever!! only a few have won more than 70%

Fischer got the taste of Larsens's mix vegetable soup

[@randalcolvin1873]

nice series. looking forward every day for the next fischer beauty.

[@geuros]

poor Larsen had no idea what was coming in about a year. But that just highlights the greatness of Fischer - it wasn't like he smashed some of the worst GMs (and define poor GM lol...) in the world, he crushed 2 of the best, mainly Larsen, by 6-0. One can actually feel sad for Taimanov, because of what Soviets had done to him afterwards...

[@pikachug7335]

The guy on the right is probably Karpov whom 5 years later would become world champion

[@milosmilovanovic6664]

Hi Agandmator, this is not the Sozin. This is the setup of the Velimirovic Attack as I see. The Sozin comes from a Najdorf with a6.

[@michaelvanzyl9418]

Didn’t Fischer play that Bishop D5 move in one of his previous games you showed?

[@sankimalu]

This game was so exciting... Black played well but White was dogged to the end. The game is long past, and the outcome is known, but I was waiting for Black to screw up but he did not. Can you showcase more Bent Larsen games after the Fischer series?

[@jonathanhalloran5350]

Play this game - when viewing agad's uploads, look at the pictrures on the left and choose which one is the serial killer! :D

[@dougveganparadisebuilder5808]

So why did he resign? You have to figure it out yourself this time! With our vast knowledge it is obvious...

[@svendolepoulsen8734]

I think the picture is not from Palma, but from Beograd - USSR against the World 1970. And it is a cake, that Fischer and Larsen analyses.

[@Andyscorpio1955]

Adgamator - I cannot see the point of White's 14 f3 The Kingside pawns need to be attacking not shoring up the e4 pawn that does not need shoring up. You make a passing reference to alternatives But you say nothing about about 24 Qg4 which is a disastrous move and is followed after (as you say) the worse of two Knight moves with the loss of a piece Almost any Queen relocation on Move 24 is better eg (in my ranking) Qg6, Qg3, Qg2, Qh4, Qd2, Qe3

[@martinmullen1503]

Where is the 'So, why did he resign?' part of the video? I like to see it clearly, how the end was coming and unavoidable.
