  • Byrne was stubborn not to resign once Fischer had him in that zugzwang.

  • I've been following your vids and commentaries, really amazing and helpful.. thank u CN

  • Wonderful analysis of the game! Thanks!

  • bullshit 1956

    

  • at 10:25 i would have moved my bishop to d6 before checking the king but Bobby Fischer is the master for a reason. he is not focused on material he is focused on the mate. wow. i learned a lot

  • You guys are idiots. It's a GAME ANALYSIS, if you assholes just want see the game there are plenty of YouTube videos that just have the game. His analysis is fantastic, don't blame him for YOU watching the wrong video.

  • the famous queens sacrifice, commentated beautifully

  • excellent, entertaining analysis, and I am a chess simpleton

  • What's your rating?

  • @iDraw3G 22+

  • nice cover up of this game. thanks!

    

  • I have never seen a game played this creatively. I noticed that Fisher castled immediately whereas Byrne did not. Thus, his rooks were unable to defend the center of the board.The commentary is utterly fascinating & helps one to think the way Fisher must have thought; i.e., about 10 moves ahead.

    I remember Fisher on the Merv Griffin Show. He played about 20 people from the audience at once, beating them all as he moved from board to board. I would love to have seen him play Deep Blue.

  • Very clear and impressively demonstrated.

  • Love this video !!! and love Fisher !!!

  • ah, couldn't find that mate, only found first four moves, but this queen sacrifice...

  • Love Fischer's games!!

  • You made so many hypothetical moves that I had no idea what the actual moves were.

  • โคตรเหนือ

  • fischer won because he used to practice all the time with distorted boards

  • i love how chess instructors show games like this that nobody has ever heard of or seen other videos about or seen it annotated 20 times before...it just brings some freshness you know...

  • @apsodilqkwje a better piece of advice: start listening, you may learn something!

  • I don't care how u would do it I just want to watch them

  • Comment removed

  • nice .....

    from now on i will watch your videos it's so educating and i hope i can improve my games

    thanks

  • @bongsult :)

  • to be able to think that deep @ 14 - unique chess brain

  • Bobby Fischer was so much better than players like Joel Benjamin. Sad.

  • Your commentaries are excellent. Most informative.

  • @JeffersonDinedAlone Thanks. :)

  • The ultimate master!!!! i doubt anand or kasparov would even dream of such a romantic essey!!!

  • @ikay1966

    I bet they would know how to spell essay though

  • Bobby Fischer may have been a discriminating anti-semetic son of a bitch, but god damn it the man knew how to play chess.

  • didnt Fischer win the US Championship 1 year later at 14 yrs old? byrne was a solid GM at the time, its nuts that he beat him this bad. 

  • @OnlineChessLessons Yeah I think so...@ 14...ridiculously young.

  • aren't you an expert? enough of the master analysis already, clarify your rating

  • @dferg869 I list my playing strength on my YT homepage. National Master

  • To see a chess player like Fischer at work is to witness the horizon of human intelligence.

  • He was only 13 !!! I can´t believe that a mind of 13 years old can think like that.

  • @manuarg90 No kidding eh. As Bobby tells it, at around that age "he just got good." I think that's the understatement of the century.

  • How can you be that good??? Fischer's mind must have an alien mind.

  • @ChessNetwork hi, nice video, i am in my opinion a below average chess player but why at 10:10 didnt Byrne play knight to D7 then try queen to F8? im sure there is a reason but i cant see it

  • @dullyskate because Bb6 check and forks the queen, game over

  • @dullyskate because Bd6 check forking the queen ,blacks bishop is protected by knight on e4, game over

  • Na4 is the really brilliant move in this game. It's a move that most players would never even consider.

  • I did get something out of it thank you

  • I was amazed on how Fisher let's him take the queen and then makes his queen useless and check mates him in a brilliant way, simply amazing!!

  • Although I play, chess for me is only an occasional game for enjoyment, as any other game. I could only be an average player, and that suits me just fine. Everyone has their interests, and may we all enjoy them, but I think that finding your interests is as important as what you pursue. For all of that, going through these games is quite interesting, and I appreciate the commentary. I know my limits in any given area, and while I will remain average as a player, I try to learn a little.

  • @DoctorLawyerWhatever Nicely said. :)

  • would have been good to watch that without you telling us your ideas, you dont understand him. No America can

  • Good analysis. It really is wonderfully set up at the end.

  • "just want to see the game bobby fischer .. but .. a lot of convoluted back and forth and talk too much people in it ..!

  • @pgm3 The bishop at d5 has that option covered

  • At 10:18 why not 35) Qb8-c7 ? It would seem that when one is behind in position but ahead in mobility (a queen is a queen, after all, and dangerously so) then simplification is called for. Kh2-g1 is just suicide, from what I can see. Is it already too late? What a brilliant game, in any case, for BF -- but I'd think a draw or even a win is possible for White at 35. What am I missing?

  • @pgm3 If Qb8-c7 then bishop f8-d6 wins the game as it forks the knight queen and king.-

  • Great job Fisher.

  • nice one. it looks so simple when explained :)

  • excellent. well done.

  • I should have been out there playing chess when I was 13 !!!!

    WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING ????

  • nice vid

    

  • Yes... I did find this video very useful.

  • Great video

  • man this fisher boy must have been a genius

    imagine if he put his brain power and get us to the stars

    or better yet , find cures for mankind, i think he could have done it

    if the system bettered him.

  • amazing simply amazing he was only 13 pre-computer era

  • One question: WHY ARE YOU WHISPERING!!!

  • This is my favourite Chess game. Fischer's ingenuity at 13 is astounding.

  • Hello Master Jerry, thank you for this Awesome !!! video : ]

    Saturday March 19, 2011 Cebu, Philippines 7:29 am

  • can somebody tell me why Bobby didnt play 32... Bd6??

  • That was simply incredible

  • Gosh, Fischer was a genius!!!

  • Goodness. This boy is exceptionally brilliant at such a young age! Queen sacrifice is so rare in today's tournament that I wonder whether Fischer at his 13 is better than most top ranked players today.

  • @IdiosyncraticChild he was the youngest ever junior U.S. champ aged 13 going up against 18 yr olds if i'm not mistaken & with him being the youngest ever U.S. champ aged only 14 LOL! beating 6 x champ, chess prodigy Reshevsky who in 1953 when Fischer was 10 had come joint second in the World Chess Championship Candidates Tournament so i think you could make the case that he was - he was head & shoulders above everyone, far more so than Kasparov was in his pomp

    a one-off -they broke the mould

  • Wicked game. at 16, WOW

  • i could beat Bobby Fisher with 2 hands tied behind my back and I challenge anyone to say I couldn't

  • @iliketv23

    yeah,,, I hear grandma saying the same thing , I am guessing you have Alzheimer o you are normal.. either way it is what it is...

  • @iliketv23 You couldn't. I don't think you could even beat Jerry. Go ahead, Challenge him.

  • And that's mate folks!

  • excellent

  • bobby is one bad dude that is just amazing i wonder how he missed the queen pin with black bishop protected by night in near end game

  • @jamesracek88

    he cant move the bishop because of the pin.

  • I once played through this game w/ a very strong master and he was more impressed w/ Fischer's Na4 than the famous queen sac. Fischer seemingly threw that Knight away until the master played through all variations and showed how Byrne would lose even more quickly had he snapped up the horse.

  • It's a good commentary, but there were so many continuations I had a hard time following the actual game.

  • good detail thanks for the upload!

  • I kind of looked like there may have been some time problem for White. Course, I'm not any kind of master...even my dog tells me what to do, but, some of those White moves later in the game seemed shaky.

    Course...did you say he was 13!?

    holy feathers! Poor Byrne!

    Thanx for the game!

  • wow... this really is the game of the century!

  • Your style of explaining and showing chess games is perfect. Thanks for posting this--best video I've seen for this game!

  • simply beautiful.

    I cannot think of any superlatives to do this game justice.

  • best video ever

  • jerry are you a GRANDMASTER??

  • @swordfishjon No. I'm currently a National Master.

  • @ChessNetwork he may not be a grand master in chess yet, but he surly is a grand master when it come to expaining chess.

  • @ChessNetwork he's got a 4200 rating 

  • Why does chessnetwork whisper?

  • @ChessNetwork i wanna be like you one day able to make complex plans and execute them on a chess board im only currently rated 1600 though .

  • @ChessNetwork this was great commentary i really understood alot more then i did before i notice now that discovered attacks are very essential in a game also im not the type to give away my queen or any peice of value but i see now that some form of deceptive play is necessary thanks for explaining it please do more games

  • @ChessNetwork jerry are you an asian? just wondrin

  • @ChessNetwork i mean if you see this ultra deep calculation and a combinational play probably no1 did for him, couldnt it well be reasonable that when he made demands for light and stuff it was well justified... i mean to calculate that deeply everything must be perfect i guess....its weird.. i thought i got better in chess but the combination actually got harder since i last saw it lol

  • @ChessNetwork What is your ELO??

  • @ChessNetwork sure you phukface

  • This is beautiful game, but I think that, it is not the Game of the Century.

  • Great job - thanks for making this.

  • The moves are :1.Nf3 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.d4 0-0 5.Bf4 d5 6.Qb3 dxc4 7.Qxc4 c6 8.e4 Nbd7 9.Rd1 Nb6 10.Qc5 Bg4 11.Bg5 Na412.Qa3 13.bxc3 Nxe4 14.Bxe7 Qb6 15.Bc4 Nxc3 16.Bc5 Rfe8+ 17.Kf1 Be6 18.Bxb6 Bxc4+ 19.Kg1 Ne2+ 20.Kf1 Nxd4+ 21.Kg1 Ne2+ 22.Kf1 Nc3+ 23.Kg1 axb6 24.Qb4 Ra4 25.Qxb6 Nxd1 26.h3 Rxa2 27.Kh2 Nxf2 28.Re1 Rxe1 29.Qd8+ Bf8 30.Nxe1 Bd5 31.Nf3 Ne4 32.Qb8 b5 33.h4 h5 34.Ne5 Kg7 35.Kg1 Bc5+36.Kf1 Ng3+ 37.Ke1 Bb4+ 38.Kd1 Bb3+39.Kc1 Ne2+ 40.Kb1 Nc3+ 41.Kc1 Rc2# 0-1 I think.

  • i had a metal orgasm watching this video, so briolliant

  • wanna laugh? see this video with the "transcribe audio" from google. jerry, you're the man

  • Nice vid. one question, Jerry: Wasn't 37... Re2+ 38. Kd1 Bb3+ 39. Kc1 Ba3+ 40 Kb1 Re1++ A little bit quicker? Anyways, great comment, and Fischer queen sac really rocks

  • Jesus Fucking Christ!!!! Monumental!!!!

  • thanks man ive only read about this game until now u rock

  • Fischer's legacy reaches far beyond chess: his persecution has discredited governments and proved his points. Rest in peace, Bobby. Thank you for your legacy on and outside the board.

  • Fischer was famous for distracting the opponent and "playing 2 games at once" meaning he blunders away a bishop and then brings his queen down and puts him in checkmate!

  • I love chess and play just a few years, but when I watched the parties for the first time and when Fischer played his knight on the A4 3:38 , I was shocked

  • this was great. thanks for having produced this. to anyone out there whose brain is too large to enjoy this... gfy. :)

  • thanks, excellent explanation! :)

  • After 40 years of following chess, still ranks with the most brilliant childhood achievements of all time.

  • black could have won 3 moves earlier, i never get the point of prolonged checkmates

  • An Awesome game , i enjoy every time i see this game , Fischer didnt play so well in that tournament but he made this masterpiece called THE GAME OF THE CENTURY , i think is better than being first and play only secure games only to asure the prize money!! Only if you play like an artist ok

  • Theres so much missing in how this video is made that in comparison with a masterpiese when it comes to art, this reminds me of..honestly nothing. How does this guy even try to tell a story? A great game should be shown some respect. try the films made by tv chess. Using three different commentators they still dont ruin the game with bla bla bla bla i can talk much bla i can talk fast... bla. And why shouldnt the dude be critisized? Have u noticed how many films he's been putting out there?

  • @Shoei6m9 Ok, granted we're titled to our own opinions and you don't like his videos. I"m fine with that, however, if you're going to be a critic. Why don't you give constructive criticism. If something is missing, tell the readers what you think is missing. How was Jerry being disrespectful towards this match? What do the 3 dudes (LOL), @ tvchess do that Jerry doesn't do? What exactly is "Bla bla bla?" Is it poor analysis? That is exceptional criticism; you are simply bashing his analysis. 

  • Comment removed

  • @Shoei6m9 I'm not trying to offend or fight with you; I believe this is great analysis for beginning and average chess players. Especially within an 11 minute time frame. He stays away from theoretical Grünfeld stuff and that will confuse any class player and focuses on tactically strong and short variations. Once he gives a variation, he answers it with candidate replies. I can continue, but I hope my readers understand my point. If ya don't, start reading Yasser Seirawan chess books.

  • the speculation are good for those that actually understand chess.

  • The video is fine. What is wrong with it? Jerry gives tactical themes, necessary variations, and finally. He is not speculating, if you read the title before the video its the: Game Analysis between Fischer and Byrne. None of the info Jerry gives is speculation, its purely factual.

  • Nice analysis!

  • Wow, at 13 he had such a developped game!!! I'm trully amazed to see this!

    Awesome comments too, I have to check for those future moves, i tend to forget them so easily...

  • My comment is regarding how the video is made. (For those who missed that point)

  • All the speculation ruins the vid. Honestly from looking at this, does anyone have a clue of how it went?.... I Have nooo idea, perfectly ruined from som adolescent swallowing in the microphone....blaah

  • @Shoei6m9

    You are what Youtubers call a tool and a moron. Go read a basic chess book then noob.

  • @Shoei6m9 futhermore, if you were commenting about the video. Why were you being so inappropriate to the author?? "Perfectly ruined from some* adolescent swallowing in the microphone...blaah??" I don't think I missed your point; you're just being maliciously rude.

  • @Shoei6m9 put it on mute

  • fischer genius!

  • dont speculate just show the mowes ok, otherwise good vid

  • @asimolok watch the game using a chess db if you don't want "speculation". This is a chess analysis. Please understand the difference. Ok junior?

  • @ScrewAttackChina good advice, just dont call me junior ok

  • Fischer such a shrewed, vicious genius :-)

  • what do you mean by "these are all only moves?"

  • @MoPar7055 He means those are the only spaces the king can move to (it has no other choices).

  • @novellterminator well we can tell you got no chess skills

  • @MoPar7055

    Forced moves

  • fischer's a scrub ;]

  • if i was actually there in 1956. i would clap SOO HARD LOL!

  • Thank you for the most excellent analysis!

  • Fisher was 13,, how old was his opponent??

  • @qasion Donald Byrne was born June 12, 1930. So on the date of this match played: October 17, 1956 Byrne would have been 26 years old plus a few months/days. Byrne died April 8, 1976. I am unsure of Byrne's rating category during the match, but I think he was an International Master.

  • @qasion His opponent was 26. 

  • This was great. Thanks

  • Thank You ! ! ! God Bless You ChessNetwork for your Good Work ! ! ! Excellent ! ! !

  • Nice job, Thanks!

  • best commentary / analysis of this game i've had the pleasure of - nicely understated, expert narrative plus you've flipped the board - unbelievable that the majority of yr fellow commentators haven't! -thx

  • this is amazing

  • good game , i enjoyd it!

  • insightful.  thanks.

  • Dont mind the complaints too much. I remember as a begginner I saw variations of different games but I did not have intermediate knowledge of tactics and positional strategies.

    Thus, all the variations people showed just seemed random and that a grandmaster just seemed to play one of the variations. Just remember that these videos are intermediate and not for the begginer.

    If one would like to just see the moves you can look on a chess database. I find your annotations extremely helpful.

  • Jerry, Your annotations are appropriate. I remember being a super noob and people kept saying what if this and what if that. As a beginner and just felt like random guessing of what to do because I didn't know all the tactics and positional strategies.

    Remember that videos like these are for intermediate because we understand more what is going on. That is the reason for some of the complaints.

  • @chess network. Would you please remake this video without your little tid bits and alt input. give us, just the game as it happened not moving pieces back and forth distorting the beauty and clarity of this masterpiece. That would be great.

  • Why didn't black move his queen at 6:50? Was the checkmate setup only possible by letting his queen get taken?

  • Wait a minute. I didn't know that guy from the Talking Heads played chess.

  • 1:53 why not Na6? 3:31 I love it! exacute!!

  • 1:53 why not Na6?

  • That was a really good analysis!!!! Very thorough, very clear!!

  • i dont quite understand why people would choose a hobby such as chess. id think people would have more interest in a sport where it is somewhat more exciting. but if you enjoy chess just ignore me. whatever floats your boat man.

  • @luxor135 look into chess boxing.

  • I never knew chess could be interesting. I had no idea how prominent the chess community was... there are many strategies, name for pieces, big names, competitions, etc. I'm sure there is more to it, but that is what I learned from this vid. Cool.

  • Great video. The only possible way I could imagine you satisfy those who only want to see the game (Without a seperate video, anyway) is to hurry up and play it first, then go back and analyze the moves and what-ifs.

    However, you and JrobiChess have both gotten me into chess all over again... I used to be in the Chess club in my Junior High school, but after that kinda lost all thouch with it. These videos have stepped my game up. Thanks a lot.

  • How old was Byrne?

  • @TokyoJapenese He was 26 years old. Not exactly the old demented master caught off guard. :p

  • Fantastic analysis. Thank you.

  • I have played over this game for 40 years, the epitome of childhood genuis

  • 13 are you kidding me

  • QED

  • at 4:01 cant the pawn at b2 capture the knight if he moves to c3 from e4!

  • hey jerry, me again lol. it would be very interesting for you to play kingscrusher. i'm not sure how to contact him (other than comment on his youtube videos) but you both are very strong players. let me know what you think about it :)

  • advice, stop wispering!! its creepy like pedofile

  • queen s game superb if the oppent did not took the fisches queen da game was his
