Documentary Fischer VS Spassky Part 4

[angellicvoices]

Isnt it wierd that both great players are exiled. Bobby is wanted by American Authorities and Spassky exiled because he had been beated by Fischer. How wierd is that?

[merlinforever]

Fischer chair fixed?? possible ...

[blackoil911]

@BlindLemonJaffaCake

your ignorant , Anand and Kasparov have won more championships than fischer

also Karpov was going to play fischer but fischer was a bitch

that bitch never get my respect its like the manny vs floydmayweather fight where one always back away...

[NVSBLmonstr]

Twenty years later, Fischer's chess skill may have atrophied little, but Spassky was in 92 only the 96th strongest player in the world. Its unfortunate he had to lose it (his mind, that is) like that, and to have reopened that festering wound in such a way that left him running for the rest of his life.

[fmcejbcrazy]

iget a lot of youtube vids as not supported msg on my ipod touch? does anyone know whats sup?

[cmlegend]

I love that part at 4:42... Spassky was the toughest of all

[md65000]

That bit starting at 5:12 is priceless!!

[ZEROEVILDARKCOOL]

AND HlS ONLY CHESSMATCH LATER WAS A REMATCH...

JEEZ...

ITS SURPRISING BECAUSE HE WAS SO CONFIDENT DEFEATING ALL OTHER POSSIBLE CHALLENGERS

HE SAID HE WAS HAPPY THAT HE PROVED HE WAS THE GREATEST TO HIMSELF

BUT HE DIDNT PROVE IT CUZ HE DIDNT STAY IN THE GAME..

HE DIDNT PROVE TO HIMSELF AND THE WORLD THAT HE WAS THE BEST..

ALSO l THINK AMERICA NEEDS TO GIVE MORE INCENTIVE TO ITS CHESS PLAYERS.

[bailinnumberguy]

Fischer's antics in the first 2 games were calculated to achieve a psychological edge. From that point forward, he basically blew Spassky off the board. The match was never close. Fischer obliterated his opposition in an unprecedented fashion leading up to this match and was a vastly superior player to Spassky by the time they famously met in Iceland. After that match, unfortunately, Fischer basically cracked up and lived a tragic existence

[dbgrinder77]

spassky pure class

[Silvoleon]

Fischer sounds like a cocky douchebag

[youvebeenthunderstru]

I think what Fischer is talking about when he's going on about "The Russians used chess as propaganda for 20 years" etc is how in Russia chess wasn't just a game, it was taken very seriously. And it IS well known, not just raving lunacy supposedly from Fischer, that chess was used very much politically in Russia, even against other Russians.

[kisic74]

Fischer won the title when the Soviets of the 60's were in decline, the only real test in '72 was the final match with Spassky.

He wouldn't (and couldn't) win the title in the 60's.

So to claim him "best ever" is somewhat exaggerated, better to say one of the greatest in a long, high row.

It his dramatic personality which accompanied his chess genius that makes him unique though.

[ggggalego]

BOBBY FISCHER, the bigest strategist of the WORLD. Brazilians chessplayers condolences. (see too youtube: MECKING (mequinho), 2º chessplayer of AMERICAS in 70', 3º WORLD RANKING CHESS 1978, behind Karpov and Korchnoi).

Mecking, dies your gretest chess idol. Now he plays with ALMIGHTY GOD.

[jujamb89]

Chess era are real bastards, you never get to see the "MONSTERS" play each other in their prime, maybe in heaven. But the imagination lets us play them today.

[chapaev36]

Man, Fischer sure speaks confidently. Where was this confidence when Karpov was the challenger?

[Schenker01]

Fischer is a genius, some idiots don't understand that and attack him.

[Logstoned]

Great respect for Robert people, what would you do with all the nerves?!!?

I think Fisher is a Idiot Savant :D

[seka1986]

Asshole savant is more fitting.

[BTC141]

Thanks for posting this video. Fisher is really a tragic hero, marred by his own hubris, the poor bastard.

[BTC141]

Fisher is great, yeah...but he comes across as an insecure loser in the build-up to the match. Even before the match he tells the interviewer that he's going to beat Spasky with ease and then he falters and stumbles losing the first match and then forefiting the 2nd match then wants to quit. Get it together Fisher.

[MachineManX51]

Obviously he DID get it together since he went on to win.

[richardl562]

talk about cockiness

[Unraked]

Thanks! Great doco ;)

I think most of the great chess masters are real twats in real life..

[Sheshant]

[zsxdc2000]

The full documetary is available on google video about 33 mins long... by BBC

[amlima]

Thanks for posting it! Really worth to watch

[Snootwaller]

At a weak moment, Fischer was looking out the window, and he said "The only thing I can do is to play chess", and he seemed rather sad, but then a smile came upon his face and he said "but I do that rather well."

[zsxdc2000]

Hahahah.. the Reds are paranoid now!

[cyberfranz]

I mean, who was more paranoid than Fisher. On the opposite Spassky always acted like a real gentleman and aside of chess qualities his attitude is so pleasant, even more if confronted with the arrogance of Fisher.

[Grandcapi]

Spassky was and is a relentless anti-semite.

He probably influenced Fischer.

[PounamuKnight]

Cold War paranoia!

& Spassky had nothing 2 do wif Bobby's anti-semitism or insanity. Blame is own warpd genius.

[stvs777]

the "anti-semitic" is a caramel to stop anyone to critic the hebrews same
