Many people believe this is one of the greatest games ever played. Larson, matched him move for move only to falter at the end. Larson N .21 was beautiful. Even more astounding is how Fischer held the game together with the Danish Master all over him, According to L. Christiansen, Larson played the losing move g4 .34. I would love for you to analyze this game. All the time you commit to this site is a gift for chess fans.
Is this Larsen guy a grandmaster? I really remember only few famous chess players i never bothered learning who is who.
Anyway what bothers me is the initial response of the black to the king's pawn opening.
The whites open with a move that shows intention to establish a strong center of the board. How does e6 help as a response? It seems useless to me. For me only two moves seem appropriate in such an opening. Ether e5 or C5. Does he play e6 just to confuse the opponent?
seriously though, what do you study? Make sure you know the basic mates (2 rooks, 1 rook, 1 queen, 2 bishops), some pawn end games, some openings. I know gameknot has a lot of chess puzzles if you're not very good at mates. Irving and Casablanca have excellent books for improving tactics as well.
@Opps1991 keep playing and keep thinking understand that one move leads to many more and never think that one move doesnt count a good opening is the kings pawn bring out minor peices and then slowly work your queen in castle early to prevent an attack against the king donot get king involved in fighting unless absolutely neccessary double your rooks and place knights and bishops in front of rooks so when you move them you can attack with a double check or take your opponents queen
the knight is influencing a number of squares, this bishop can go left or right side of the board, the sky is blue, bananas are yellow and there are sixty minutes in an hour.
i personally like whole games, maybe you can do games in segments, because i like the opening theory as well but if we don't see how to play it in the middle and end game then i dont you learn about the opening
some people seem to think larsen was some patz. he lost the match 6-0, but after being down 2-0, after having a good position in game 2 he blundered and never really recovered. Don't forget in the 1970 USSR vs the World match, Larsen played board 1 (scoring 1.5-1.5 vs Spassky, plus beating reserve Leonid Stein in game 4) and Fischer played board 2 (crushing petrosian 3-1)
redhotpawn is an awesome online chess site. You can log in and play 1 move a day if you want (or play a live game, tournaments, ladders....) so you arent tied down for a full game every time you want to play and you have as much time as you want really to think out the game and not make as many mistakes to help get better.
Fischer seems to be the best when he focused on chess Im all about learning how he played. Thanks for the vid keep em coming jrobi!
How do I grasp the idea behind a move instead of copying his every move as I analyze all the grand masters. I'm a beginner, and I don't want to be sucked into following their exact moves, I would rather understand what they thought.
I want to see the video of Kpawn's opening offer the gambit pawn move the bishop to F4 and get checked with Qh4. Where is this vid why can't I find this without going into a chess database? Fischer must have been checked a lot after such a move, why not show this line.
I played that same few moves against someone on chesscube. But instead of moving the queen's pawn, he pushed the king pawn first to e5 then pushed the queen pawn.
i would suggest that you dont need to say the moves, like when you move a pawn and say f6. you could use descriptive verbs of what is actaully happening like, black challenges the e5 with the threat of, the strategy of... and explain the drama going on.
You don't explain the reasons for the moves, and a beginner couldn't understand this very tactical line anyway. You should address a more skilled audience or use a different game as your example.
Your presentation is effective. However, when you are moving a piece on the board, it is hard to see the indicator arrow pointing to where you moved the piece. Make it a bolder color like bright red. Also, consider giving entire game presentations of Fischer.
Of course this is great stuff! You are analyzing one of the greatest players of all time with their opening moves and counter moves! GREAT JOB! IT really helps the ones who watch these videos!
Hi Jrobichess. Nice tutorial. It would be really cool if you could include a link to the pgn file for the games you comment on. Or just copy and paste the pgn into the description. Thanks.
@Heredero6 Fisher looks far from screwed. He has a powerful bishop pair in a wide-open board, and his rook is preventing any back-rank threats. I'd say Fisher has a rather significant advantage in the position at 5:30
@Lastmanstanding72604 at 5:30 although he's not losing, he has let his advantage go, wheras earlier he had a forced continuation which would have left him with a large advantage
@Heredero6 Dude it isn't fisher... It is Fischer! But he is actually winning in that position. Bishops are 3 points and rooks are 5. They both have a queen but Fischer's queen can easily even out pawns.
i have to say that i feel it would have been more powerful if fischer had instead moved his kings pawn to E5, protecting his pawn. later on if larson decided to put the king into check, queens bishop could have been placed on D2, but im entirely not sure what the best way to handle the famous bishop to B4/B5, any suggestions from your own experiences perhaps?
The Free Internet Chess server is one of the best free sites, especially when you use a graphical interface that has a lot of features you can use after the game. I have a video on how to get setup there on my channel. Thanks for checking out the vid!
@kawowski We have Chess at Wat (War and Tactics Forum) with around 5-10 active players (chess implemented since a month), highest player around ELO 1500-1700. Feel free to drop by: warandtactics(dot)com/smf/ We play for fun and reacreation, most are military.
fisher wants black to attack the bishop so that the center is locked. he knows that double pawns are weak on c file esp. when black queen is on c7...on BE2 there's a possibility that black will exchange his pawn on D4 and with black queen on C7 and RC8 black is on attacking postion.
well im not fischer so i cant be sure, but from what i can see Bd3 develops the bishop more. on e2 all it does is guard the a6-f1 diagonal which it already does. so its like wasting a move. on D3 the bishop not only gets that diagonal but also gets the b1- h7 diagonal. if we didnt move it, then the bishop would have been taken out by the pawn. a pawn is worth 1 points and bishop is 3 points so fischer would be losing after the trade. D4 is because he want to control the center.
Had Fischer taken the pawn on G7, then Larsen would have taken the pawn on A4 because his rook is protected by his knight and his knight is protected by his H pawn
Why bishop to D3 seems like developing the rook would be more beneficial B7 is unguarded wereas H7 is guarded, I suppose it was a move to develope bishop for later mobility? Do you playonline at all chees. com etc? Like to have a friendly match
You seem to use the word "match" to mean game. As a backgammon player, I distinctly define match as a set of games played towards one outcome. Not sure if there is a standard difference in chess.
IMO, of all the players of his caliber, Fischer had by far the most predictable opening moves, and the narrowest repertoire.
I wouldn't really call this an analysis of how Fischer played as a whole against the French, but would certainly call it an excellent analysis of the strategy behind a typical French Winawer. Also of note is that the Winawer is a lot less common today than it was in the 60s: the 7 Qg4 line gives White an advantage against the old 7...Qc7 and the newer 7...0-0.
Strength in Chess is nothing more than an idea, an idea which really has nothing to do with the game...
Each move is either Offensive, Defensive, or both. My style is to play as many Offensive and Defensive moves as possible, the best Defense in chess for me, is my Offense.
Great quote by Fischer - he was the first player who really took the study of chess to new levels of intensity. His study of a variety of things (openings, game analysis, etc) was unmatched when he dominated the chess world and laid the groundwork for many who followed.
Now with the inclusion of technology thrown into the mix, the chess world has exploded with young and very strong players from all over the world.
Fisher's intense studying of opening,games may have been the groundwork which would, in his adult life, sprout his paranoid behaviors. He spent to much of his childhood in isolation playing chess by himself. It's no great wonder he went off the deep end.
5in- Personally, I feel that Fischer's own countries government stabbing him in the back, for daring to have a rematch against Spassky, (give me a break, two ole men playing chess!!), forcing him to live in exile from the country he loved for the rest of his life and won the Chess World Championshiop for and then having him set up and arrested in Japan, spending almost a year in jail before Iceland granted him citizenship and giving him a place to call home, broke his heart and his mind too.
Unfortunately you either don't know, or have forgotten, Fishers history. Fisher showed signs of Paranoia while growing up. After he won the championship he turned into a full blown paranoid schizophrenic. A guy with a Jewish mom shouldn't be calling Hitler a hero. You may appreciate his chess mind but unfortunately he was a sick pup.
5in - I never read of Bobby being diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic. I have read though that his IQ was higher than Albert Einstein's. Yes, to everyone else, Bobby acted weird after winning the World Championship. However, I think it prudent to keep in mind the situation revolving around that. Here we had a high school drop out defeat the entire chess empire of the Soviet Union. Fischer had embarrassed the Soviet's. The KGB had a file on him, which means they watched him too. Who knows.
Strength has to be developed, and studying grandmaster games, along with many other chess training activities, does that. Thanks for checking out the vid!
you shouldn't use moves that master use because it isn't the move that is good but it is the idea behind the move and without that you are just playing a move and after your opponent plays something different then you know you are lost
No, Bobby Fischer was not Bill Walsh. Bobby Fischer was arguably the greatest chess player who ever lived and had a wonderful ability to think outside the box. This is what made his chess a work of art and a pleasure, (as well as a great learning experience) , to go over his games and become a better chess player because of it. It's not about learning Bobby Fischer's moves, but the way he thought that *led* to those moves. We all miss you Bobby. RIP and hopefully God has blessed your soul.
Its not about how grandmasters or any other good chess players plays out moves or openings (I'm not saying that's bad) but you have to have your own style in chess that's the only good way in chess how you can become a successful chess player from my point of view.
this would be true for "go", but not for chess, unfortunately. Studying always overcome imagination in chess, because its, while in wide variety, still limited.
Hey thanks for posting all your great videos! I got hustled playing chess a few weeks ago! I'm an average player, i lost a few hundred dollars playing some one who was better then he led on to be! I found out after he won the games we played. But i studied all your u tube posts and became such a better player, Thanks to you i got my money back with interest from that joker! And now i'm starting to become a really strong player! Keep them coming and thanks for all the free work you put in here
I always start the game pawn to king 4, if i am right. then i try either the liver gambit, or the queens gambis. but most of time, they never work, haha.
You say that the doubled c-pawns won't stay doubled for too long, but once black is able to play c4 its hard to trade one of them off. As you see in the continuation of the game, the pawns stay doubled for a while. Not sure what to make of that...but just an observation.
yeah but theres no point knowing an opening and not knowing if its anygood. i want to know if fischer won the game :S, and if so how did the opening help him win
Chess has 3 main phases - the opening, the middle game, and the end game. Generally you want to come out of the opening with at least an equal position to give good opportunities in the middle game.
The Bh5 line gives (+0.62), slightly less than these other two lines. With perfect/very strong defense, black is better off with this line than the other two, according to Fritz 11
Ive had a quick look at this and Qxg7 looks possible, but Fischers move is stronger. Take a look and you'll see that by Bh5 Fischer threatens Qxd5, also smashing up the kingside with the attack on the Knight, plus the attack on g7 is still on.

5in- Personally, I feel that Fischer's own countries government stabbing him in the back, for daring to have a rematch against Spassky, (give me a break, two ole men playing chess!!), forcing him to live in exile from the country he loved for the rest of his life and won the Chess World Championshiop for and then having him set up and arrested in Japan, spending almost a year in jail before Iceland granted him citizenship and giving him a place to call home, broke his heart and his mind too.

Unfortunately you either don't know, or have forgotten, Fishers history. Fisher showed signs of Paranoia while growing up. After he won the championship he turned into a full blown paranoid schizophrenic. A guy with a Jewish mom shouldn't be calling Hitler a hero. You may appreciate his chess mind but unfortunately he was a sick pup.

5in - I never read of Bobby being diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic. I have read though that his IQ was higher than Albert Einstein's. Yes, to everyone else, Bobby acted weird after winning the World Championship. However, I think it prudent to keep in mind the situation revolving around that. Here we had a high school drop out defeat the entire chess empire of the Soviet Union. Fischer had embarrassed the Soviet's. The KGB had a file on him, which means they watched him too. Who knows.

@jrobichess i want to ask you a question in your opinion doesnt fisher look a little closed in with his peices
jabrightlefthook 1 year ago
The game of chess is not about copying anyone for your own use, even if it is Bobby Fischer.
What is this, the NFL? Is Bobby Fischer Bill Walsh?
Play the game with your strengths, not anothers.
Just my advice

Strength has to be developed, and studying grandmaster games, along with many other chess training activities, does that. Thanks for checking out the vid!
jrobichess 2 years ago
you shouldn't use moves that master use because it isn't the move that is good but it is the idea behind the move and without that you are just playing a move and after your opponent plays something different then you know you are lost

No, Bobby Fischer was not Bill Walsh. Bobby Fischer was arguably the greatest chess player who ever lived and had a wonderful ability to think outside the box. This is what made his chess a work of art and a pleasure, (as well as a great learning experience) , to go over his games and become a better chess player because of it. It's not about learning Bobby Fischer's moves, but the way he thought that *led* to those moves. We all miss you Bobby. RIP and hopefully God has blessed your soul.

Its not about how grandmasters or any other good chess players plays out moves or openings (I'm not saying that's bad) but you have to have your own style in chess that's the only good way in chess how you can become a successful chess player from my point of view.

this would be true for "go", but not for chess, unfortunately. Studying always overcome imagination in chess, because its, while in wide variety, still limited.

And now i'm starting to become a really strong player! Keep them coming and thanks for all the free work you put in here

what is the reason behind 5:12 black Kf7?
isn't it better for black to castle to get rid of the pin on the knight?
I'm a beginner so this question might be stupid but i dont understand.
ekibasya 3 years ago
Black can't castle Kingside due to White's Bishop on A3. And if he castles Queenside, he likely loses the pawn on either a7 or g7.

I always start the game pawn to king 4, if i am right. then i try either the liver gambit, or the queens gambis. but most of time, they never work, haha.

Interesting analysis, I personally don't like the doubled pawns but it's a good game, thanks for the lesson!

mariwanakid 3 years ago 3
You say that the doubled c-pawns won't stay doubled for too long, but once black is able to play c4 its hard to trade one of them off. As you see in the continuation of the game, the pawns stay doubled for a while. Not sure what to make of that...but just an observation.

Fisher was one slick player. Didn't seem to me to be big on 'gamble' which is scary considering his book knowledge, eh?
If in Iceland, would I even get a chess board out?
YEAH!
I would be ever so glad to lose to Mr. Fisher!

Being cut off from the real world (they only let us use crayons in here) means I don't always get to stay up to par on news.
Did I hear right?
Capablanca died?!?
Yeah, and so did Fisher, so the only thing stopping me from going to Iceland and looking for Robert Fisher?
I'm afraid of flying.
He continues to teach, though, so in an odd sort of way, he still lives.
It's kind of like, in an odd sort of way, the one move checkmate. (yeah, from the opening)

good opening tutorial (or whatsitcalled) This is exactly what I want to learn right now, the Bishops and how Fischer uses them.
mickek77 3 years ago
Go through the entire game. The openings are helpful but it's a lot more beneficial when the game goes through to the end.

jrobichess 3 years ago
yeah but theres no point knowing an opening and not knowing if its anygood. i want to know if fischer won the game :S, and if so how did the opening help him win
chr1sred 3 years ago
Chess has 3 main phases - the opening, the middle game, and the end game. Generally you want to come out of the opening with at least an equal position to give good opportunities in the middle game.
jrobichess 3 years ago
The match was played in 1971 in Denver, with Fischer winning.
Next time keep your eyes open, this sentence can be found in the description.

the opening is much more meaningful when it we see how it translates into the rest of the game
fucummings 3 years ago
This series has more time of the youtube time limit devoted to the opening itself, from Fischer's play.
jrobichess 3 years ago
Also:
The Bh5 line gives (+0.62), slightly less than these other two lines. With perfect/very strong defense, black is better off with this line than the other two, according to Fritz 11

My apologies, 4 Bc5 Rxg2+ = 5 Bc5 Rxg2+
5 Qd4+ Kf7 for the second line, to include the same number of moves for both...

Why does Fischer avoid Qxg7?
wmhunter 3 years ago
Ive had a quick look at this and Qxg7 looks possible, but Fischers move is stronger. Take a look and you'll see that by Bh5 Fischer threatens Qxd5, also smashing up the kingside with the attack on the Knight, plus the attack on g7 is still on.
