Match Spassky-Fischer 1972 (cap. 3)

[2047alvi]

se me ahce exagerado lo que se dice en 3:29 "los estados unidos, un pais donde prácticamente nadie juega al ajedrez"

[wfjalet500]

you should always play the position, not the player. Bobby Fischer did this in all of his games!

[ThePulley]

fisher sin duda el una de la mejores mentes del ajedrez

[papagamias]

Guys... wake up. Fischer COULD had become the best chess player ever. However he only won 1 championship and that against a Spassky under terrible pressure in the USSR team that viewed him negatively being a non-communist. Spassky was soon kicked out of USSR as a disgrace (and not for his loss to Bobby as many think).

[papagamias]

In fact Spassky just wanted to get finished with it no matter the result - why do you think really he had accepted all of the absurd demands of Fischer against the will of the USSR team? He even went on to play 3 games with a horrible headache (that was back in the small room with no cameras - the point where Fischer turned his odds). Fischer later admitted that Spassky was by far the best player he had ever faced in his life.

[papagamias]

Fischer was nonthelesss better player than Spassky. He won again 20 years later at the rematch (though both of them were largely "out of service"). Spassky was an exceptional player, Fischer changed the chess, thus becoming an icon BUT I doubt he would repeat his triumph over Karpov (that is why he resigned - Bobby played only when he was sure to win), and certainly he could not beat Kasparov.

[papagamias]

As for Kasparov, yes he is the best chess player of all times.

But he is a great liar too, an advertiser and a propagandist. I am not refering to the fact that he tries to convince the world he is Russian while he is an anti-Russian pro-western Azerbaitzani trying to mingle with Russian affairs (imagine he supported Yeltsin who crippled Russian society and he opposes Poutin that put them back on the track).

I am referring to Deep Blue and Kramnik. Kasparov lost on purpose to both of them.

[papagamias]

As as this I very much rather Bobby Fischer even if he played only when he was certain of his victory, than Kasparov who was the best and who simply chose to lose to his own student Kramnik and then lose for the money from Deep Blue (even amateur players know the games and know he did it on purpose...). What a shame!

Poor chess. We need more Spasskys, Petrosians and yes why not, the occastional Fischer out there...

[AnEscapedMind]

why did Spassky play Fischer twenty years later?

[buzzbox2nd]

you are a fool bigshor(popgun), have a look at the interzonals before he met boriss, wake up to your self , dont you see ! ?

[seckkk]

oh my gosh boby fisher the best chess player ever, cannot supose that? boby fisher ever knows the final of that match thats obviusly...

[tacticmonster]

Hey guys, if Kramnik was able to beat Kasparov in a match. I bet the genius Fischer at his prime would have done better. Fischer is better than Kramnik. And that's for sure. Plus he always plays for a win and desdains draws. It would have been a clash of wills because Kasparov is always pretty aggressive. We would have had a lot of fun watching their games though.

[MarqueeMagic]

There was a championship between fischer and kasparov.

It was Fischer vs Spasky

& Kasparov vs Deep Blue

Fischer won his match....

[conard3]

Well theoretically Kasparov won the first match against deep blue. But then, Fischer is still the second best player ever... just behind Morphy :)

[purbrookian]

Hard to say....BF had the best endgames ever.......ne could make an argument for the two best players ever to both be American. - Paul Morphy.

[TheZeroCoordinate]

wao, tal parece que mucho hiso que jugo el campeonato del mundo, el drama de la mente humana, de un genio, de una "tragedia"

[bigshot1973]

kasparov wud easily beat fischer, fischer was very overrated and a coward, he won the WC by beating a nervously damaged spassky after first reducing the match to a farce. then when karpov came along fischer used every excuse to duck out of this match. he never played again, and had he done there wud have been many of the next generation who wud have found him out.

[TheZeroCoordinate]

that makes some sense.

[gmwillis07]

Fischer would have won.

[farkar78]

If Fisher was still alive today do you think he'd be better than Kasparov? Just want your opinion.

[aspirincotton]

all i know is, neither karpov nor kasparov wouldve fallen for fischers psychological traps the way spassky did.

[Ipoonthosenoobs]

very true i think it would be a good match i dont think fischer will be able to beat kasparov though

[MISHA1119]

@aspirincotton Your comment is a bad joke. Coming into the match, Spassky was one of the strongest players who had yet lived, and was 5-1 against Fischer. But starting with game three, Fischer would win six games before Spassky would win one - but not because Spassky fell for "psychological traps". He was beaten by a player whose rating, if adjusted for inflation, would now be 2920, 100 points higher than today's best. The idea that this was due to some sort of trickery is pure garbage.

[aqwdemonmaster]

@MISHA1119 how do you determine the inflation just curious 

[moviecritic6]

@MISHA1119 How did you figure that out? I highly doubt his rating would be 2920.

[cheche1711]

i do think he'd be better than kasparov. he's simply a genius

[elpaso68]

i am sure about that

[FORBAN2]

Fisher in his prime in 1971-72 was more impressive than Kasparov..in his prime 6-0 against Taimanov and 6-0 against Larsen, both are 3-4 in world rankings. and a crushing victory against Petrossian..

[ILLUMANOV]

Kasparov prob win Fischer

but they would draw a lot
