What is The Bobby Fischer Prize?

[@mandyrarsh7137]

Knowing Fischer's opinion on women chess and women in general it will be quite ironic if she eventually wins his prize :))

[@user_8982]

60 years since that interview and there's still no woman world champion

[@nicbentulan]

​@@user_8982The same Jewish Bobby Fischer who was friends with the Jewish Polgar sisters and praised the Jewish Vera Menchik and the Jewish Nona Gaprindashvili. Lol. ( Btw every female grandmaster is still alive. ) Carissa's secret second for both this & last year is her secret boyfriend Wesley So, the nephew of Bobby Fischer via Lotis Key's sister and fateful inaugural & ONLY classical WFRCC. (Hikaru is the rapid WFRCC because 45+15=60.) Bobby's biological nephew Nicholas Targ even sued Miyoko Watai and likes Magnus. Probably doesn't even know Wesley. Lol. Carissa is the future niece of Bobby Fischer. Imagine what a grandnephew or grandniece Bobby will have through Carissa x Wesley that Miyoko x Bobby don't have. Surely will be better than children of Atousa x Hikaru. Lol.

Pretty wild game It is awe inspiring seeing Carissa on this winning streak there seems to be a lot of misogynistic opinions just because she is female as well as the ratings of the players to me it shows a certain level of ignorance little boys feeling so threatened by a talented female chess player and that’s pretty much what it is regardless of what other argument they have

[@SriramRengasamy]

Agad said strong dark bishop. Why dark bishop is stronger than light bishop for black

[@frankbee2657]

The strong bishop is the bishop standing on opposite colour of most of your pawns and not obstructed by your pawns. In this case it is the dark square bishop.

[@hfcriske]

I've seen it at the gym regularly, whereas the light bishop only comes by occasionally.

[@MrSupernova111]

Bg7 is considered the dragon bishop. It controls a lot of important squares along the long diagonal. Without it black has a lot of weak dark squares around the kingside. Therefore, Bg7 is strong in both attack and defense.

[@nedmerrill5705]

Reminds me of a Nimzowitsch game. Very complicated closed position.

[@kaueadm]

Why Agad keep saying queen c6 is checkmate? I didn't saw mate over there, I must be blind (king has d8, or am I crazy?)?

[@matiasg1234]

is not mate, but a mate sequence

[@kaueadm]

@@matiasg1234 Can you share the line? I was pretty sure that after king d8 and e8 queen has no more checks, bishop, pawn and queen covers all those need squares. He said checkmate at 10:13

Hi Irina

[@ateistaeletszemlelet3492]

Often you do not explain something, like here in the beginning "black usually would not give away such a strong bishop, but here it is playable". Why? Often you claim some move is not good, or "there is not much to do here", and it is not obvious, then you show one variation that seems arbitrary. So, the position is complicated, the move is not obviously wrong, and playing one variation is not convincing. What do I expect? Of course I do not expect from you to show all the variation. I only expect some explanation. If you know so much about chess, you should be able.

[@elakstein]

🤣 do you want 1 hour long video

[@MrSupernova111]

Good observation. This video was rushed no doubt. I'm sure Agadmator can explain why Bg7 is a strong bishop and its relevance in most games. But he just rushed the video. Bg7 is considered the dragon bishop. Its strong in both attack and defense due to its immense reach in the dark color complex along the long diagonal and in the kingside. Its an oversimplification but if you review enough sicilian dragon, modern, or king indian defense games you'll realize why Bg7 is so important and black usually holds on to it to win (not always).

[@mfstewie385]

She played like a 700

Isn’t she also getting the GM title as long as she wins the whole tournament?

[@TheProdef]

Nope, you thinking about the world championship title which automatically gives you the GM title. US championship unfortunately doesn't even give her a GM norm because she isn't facing enough GMs. But she won over 25 elo thus far, so she heads closer to 2500 which is another GM title necessity.

Why women doesn't play in the open section ? I understand there are close(invitational) tournaments where only players who get invited can play but in other tournaments there shouldn't be a women section for example chess world cup. I remember Hou yifan try to play only in open tournamets like 10 years ago and judit polgar also did the same. That's what should happen otherwise there will never be a women world champion . But now they are equalling the prize fund of open and women section which will lead to no women playing in the open section because winning is much harder in open section. I see it as a backward step.

[@Calibrex_Gaming]

Exactly, and the reason why sneaky I’ll-minded trans people will shift from one category to the other. Why play in the more difficult group when both have the same prize out?

Fischer won 11 games facing no one above 2600. Many were below 2500. Fischer was a 2750+ player. We have hundreds of players today that would do the same if facing such weak players. I really don't think the 11/11 is really that impressive

Incorrect. FIDE elo wasn't established until 1970. Fischer won the US Championship in 1963-'64 long before he reached his peak in 1972. Get your facts straight.

[@MrSupernova111]

Also, your comment in general makes no sense. We have 60 years of new theory and computer engines that Fischer and his peers didn't have in 1964. Of course, today's players are stronger and 60 years from now the same will be said about those players in the future.
