"These bishops are absolute assassins..." hahahahahahaha!!!

[kbzero5]

@KarlW24 I loved that line!

[biernico]

why did u stepped over bd6 after qc8 seems weird and a computer move but maybe it has hidden points

[RollinLikeABetch]

best game ive ever seen. and ive seen em all

[MVDrudge]

One day I hope my bishops can become "absolute assassins." :-)

[jaileroflove]

cool to see how much of kasparov there is in this game. i'm in the "kasparov would have crushed fischer" camp, but you can also see that kasparov learned a lot and found many of his creative ideas from fischer games.

[johncenaa7]

double fianchetoo bishops

[johncenaa7]

yeah..good video.the last position was nice.Black was a piece down.Bishops are good in open positions.!!!

[cenationrocker77]

wow..great video..nice one kingscrusher..

[alphakraker]

Its incredible to see Fischer treat grand masters like amateurs and at the same time avoid clinical playing.

[theyoungac]

Bobby Fischer was way ahead of his time!

[hypersphere]

One of the greatest games ever!  Fischer was a genius without equal

[zatnicatienth]

Bobby Fischer, making bishops heroes of epic proportions, long before my parents were going to school.......

[majorsromo]

I recently looked up this game on chessgames. This is fantastic coverage, thanks a lot!

[TheOneBlackSheep1973]

Nice to return to a classic for a more in-depth look .

[Mathview]

Nice work on this amazing game. Some notes about GM Robert Byrne from memory. He became the chess columnist for the New York Times and covered many international chess events as a player and journalist. He reached the world championship candidates matches. Some years ago the NY Times had a financial crisis and the paper discontinued columns on chess and stamp collecting among others. I believe Robert Byrne was the last (regularly appearing) chess columnist at the  NY Times.

[ThePublicPolemic]

Amazing.

[Brycefied]

This game is just baffling. I would have played all those moves as white. The position looks totally solid and black's attack seems to come from nowhere.

[pawnscrusher]

that shows how hopeless kings and horses get without the protection of pawns when most central lines and diagonals are cleared. but it still requires great depth of analysis to make it work. Ive seen the game many times and still can only guess the moves and still get surprised of their massive effect. great video :)

[MrInalbert]

the final position is so amazing. black is a minor piece down, all of his pieces are not further advanced than the second rank and white has to resign!

this shows also, how good and dangerous bishops are in open positions and without their counterparts. Great Game! Thanks KC!

[Viksnikker]

I'm in love with this game

[MrSniggles1]

im not that good at chess, but i could watch this stuff all day!

[kingscrusher]

If any of you are on Twitter, please feel free to retweet any interesting video posts. I am of course kingscrusher on twitter. Cheers, K

[milchkanne21]

wonderfull! thanks and regards from Germany

[beatroot09]

I really like the way you analyze in this vid. You keep the 'narrative' of the game going and then go back and do some variations. That is a much clearer way of showing the dynamics of the game than going through endless computer variations of each significant position. You are a star, KC!

[AlanWattParrot]

Byrne featured in the BBC TV's Master Series from 1980 -83 vs Korchnoi, each player narrating his thoughts on the game as if live. Korchnoi spent all his time getting his ducks in a row before blitzing out the rest of his moves, the ultimate in 'strategic crush' . It's on SirB0b1's channe

[familyguy1231]

At 3:30, i would say more along the lines of QGD rather than english opening

[Herkull14]

KC u should delete all comments from this video,seriously,u should.

[Opeeumm]

how did you learn so much about chess

[damthatriver09]

@Opeeumm stfu

[PetrichorAllegory]

These analyses of the classics have been wonderful, I hope you continue to keep doing videos like this in the future!

[selfoe]

first for the first time!...espectacular game and nice analysis as usual...it's incredible how Fischer look at every exact variation long before engines appeared...thanks a lot KC!...cheers

[Immortalassassin1]
