All I want to do, ever... is listen to Danny King's commentary on the great games of the past :)

[@arvraghu]

What a beautiful game! Suddenly, its been like light years, since we heard the phrase "Bobby Fischer Resigns", ever since we embarked on The Road to Reykjavik, with Danny! Thank you very much DK, for a classy presentation.

[@someperson9052]

Not to be "that guy" but light years is a distance not a unit of time.

[@arvraghu]

@@someperson9052 very kind of you for the enlightening clarification!!

[@someperson9052]

@@arvraghu sorry... I just couldn't hold myself back

[@crazyim5]

Lightyear is a measure of distance, not time :)

The presentation of the Drama is so compelling. Thank you Daniel - not just a grandmaster but a teacher!

[@claudioalfaraz3445]

Thank you Daniel for your great videos. My father told me about the excitement in Buenos Aires during the match (I was not even born yet) and how the fans (most of them Fischer supporters) looked forward for each new game. Back then, one of the main Argentine newspapers (Clarín) covered the whole match with daily reports written by Miguel Najdorf. A wonderful piece of history. Warm regards from Argentina.

A thunderous applause? Why not? Somebody not only stops the machine but wins!

I always enjoy watching and watching again your old videos (and the new ones of course). It is a real pleasure for the old retired chess player that I am today. I'm going to get the book presented in the video of the first game of this match (Fischer versus Russians) and even watch "Pawn sacrifice" which I have never seen yet. Then some documentaries on Fischer. Between Kasparov's books (My Greatest Predecessors series) and your KZbin channel, a big part of my insatiable hunger for chess history is fulfilled! Thanks for all your fabulous work

[@jackkrom]

Great series. Thanks.

[@subudjj9368]

Winning 20 games in a row against the best players in the world is just insane

@@jprw Isn't it nineteen, then? A win by default doesn't really stop a winning streak, does it?

[@arnieus866]

Thanks for the upload. I am enjoying the history lessons.

[@ABDULHASIB]

Finally, I found a game on this channel where Fischer lose. It was a good analysis.

[@seyyednaserbahador6641]

Danny also anotated a win from Bent Larsen against Fischer, after he finished the 6-0 series. Solely because in the comments every one were complaining about one sided Fischer game's on the channel.

[@darsaana]

Merci Daniel !

[@oliverangermuller9827]

What a great Performance by Petrosian. He not only was a great defender. He was also a great tactician. And of course the "split rooks" were the root of Fischers problems.

[@Shockprowl]

THIS is one of the true Time Stopping moments in chess. Titans. Fischer. Petrosian. A moment in history.

[@tennisblood]

I remember this game, analyzing it live.... Soviets were going bananas, hoping their man will finally defeat Fischer. Yah, sure, we all know what happened next...

[@geonerd]

Iron Tigran will CRUSH you!

[@davidames5426]

Chess is pretty cool. Do you all play alot?

[@shauntaylor6040]

Fischer also failed to castle in his poisoned pawn loss to Spassky in the final.

[@JJ-kl7eq]

Who do you think would have won in a match between Fischer and Manticore? I think Fischer because as trainers go Siegfried and Roy were pretty weak.

[@AlonsoRules]

Fischer didn't move either rook for the whole game

[@dimitarninov5989]

Daniel, I like your presentations very much, I have been watching them for a few years now, but advertisements have gradually infested your channel to such an extent, that one could hardly watch uninterrupted for a minute or two...it is like the so-called "American football", a game that only lasts for five seconds and then everyone is on the ground; then another five seconds, and so on...no process to follow.

[@AlwaysAudacity]

Too many Queen moves by Bobby.
