Agadmator's introduction of unpopular players is always nice. He made Salamanca sound like a super strong opponent for any master to go up against...and then you remember his opponent is Bobby Fischer so it might as well haven't been said (of course, Agad is too classy to not)

Salamanca before acting as a cartel boss

[@patrickhutchison6465]

I always enjoy playing an opponent who doesn’t realize, in most situations, just how powerful two connected passed pawns are. I had an opponent who had only a rook and king on the board. after I sacrificed my rook to create 3 connected passers in the C, D and E files, I only has those 3 pawns and my king right behind them on the board. As we started to play that endgame, my opponent began to get irritated. He angrily asked me why I didn’t just resign since my composition was “completely lost. He said I was a bad sport for making him waste him time to win. About 5 min later, after he was defeated, he through his room into the floor before knocking his chair over and storming out of the library. There were many other regulars there and , for obvious reasons, as his behavior here was FAR from a one time thing, most didn’t like the guy I’d just beaten. I saw many smiles and got many pats on the back. Gotta admit it felt really good.

[@AshenElk]

"Why don't you just resign?" "Because you're about to lose."

Bobby Fischer is MTOAT if not GOAT. Source: A52UXLpplTw However ... Bobby Fischer if alive today would support Hans Niemann over Magnus Carlsen ... Apparently not?! Sources: 1 - sl-P3vCZFqA 2 - ZS4ZPF

I happen to agree, Ray. I rate him above Carlsen and Kasparov. Fischer's stats support that, too.

@@gheffz Actually it's quite easy to rate: Garry & Magnus are unapologetic cheaters. Bobby isn't. Can you be valedictorian if you cheated in your final year of school?

[@thembadube9589]

In his book "My 60 Memorable Games", Fischer wrote: "I have never opened with the QP -- on principle". I have always wondered if the real reason was not perhaps that he associated 1. d4 with the Soviets. Never can tell with Robert James Fischer.

The star of this tournament in La Habana was the World Chess Champion Petrosian, he played magnificently, probably his best Olympiad.

[@gooddognigel9992]

Fischer sat in his room in New York and played the tournament via teletype which was a disadvantage for him, as the U.S. government did not allow players to travel to Cuba.

[@gheffz]

Great coverage. Thank you. Love the quote, too... yes, there's plenty of scope for a 400 player and a 3000 grandmaster can play chess and there's also room for Stockfish, Leela and Alphazero and the ocean still lies beyond the horizon.

Thank you for covering the game. I think the proper response 3:51 if 10. e5 would follow your example except after 10. ... dxe5 11. fxe5 Ng4 (not Nfd2) therefore when 12. e6 fxe6 13. Bg5 (or d6) and the game has equal chances.

Salamanca breaking principals

[@lagaleriaco3294]

Arturo Pomar Salamanca was having the tournament of his life at the Interzonal Tournament of 1962 . He leaded the tournament for half and beyond, but he had no seconds to help him prepared the games and the games adjourned. He crashed in the last rounds, and even dropped from the qualifications places. Arturo was a mailman in his native Spain, with zero support from the government and the spanish society.

[@simonmultiverse6349]

[@JW-qd3ol]

Crazy stuff. He was built different.

[@angoor101]

I’ve watched a lot of Carlsen’s games. He’s one of the best chess masters. However, Fischer played at another times when modern chess wasn’t developed yet. What I see in his games are moves that boggles my mind. He probably wasn’t aware, but I tend to believe he was inspired. Bobby Fischer was the best chess player ever.

[@animalntelligence3170]

interesting about his opponent (whom fischer, showing his lack of character, ridiculed for being a postman) died only recently, almost certainly the last human who had any close relationship with Alekhine -- Alekhine would be 130 now and his most famous student lived 80 years beyond Alekhine's death -- Alekhine was a direct link with 19th century chess and while he never played Steinitz (probably) he knew and played every subsequent world champ until his death required selecting a new one who ended up being Botvinnik.
