[RawlstonLee]

and if when the queen check's ,it get's blocked by the knight? instead of the pawn push.

[hilliuno]

[TempterMan]

[Commiebd]

who the hell was fisher playing a retard?

[phillyshell94]

@Commiebd lol

[sanan22]

this game is by greco

[EpiphoneArchtopLover]

That was craptacular play by both sides. White should have played g7+ instead of gxh7+ because it wins a rook

[dw1176]

@EpiphoneArchtopLover Um I think checkmate's a little better than winning a rook.

[alex21619]

This was Gioachino Greco 1619

[IBOUGHTYAMOM]

@alex21619 no it wasnt they didnt play b6 at that time

[Bellablu6679]

[swisscheesepotatochi]

[MrZingnigga]

black played one of the worst games i've ever seen.

[stewsalad]

this is stupid, a real chess player doesn't move forward pawn diagonal on the kingside, thats asking for checkmate because only the kind guards that spot 0:28

[zzzzzzzzzz098]

@stewsalad kings gambit.

[GoldenJoe]

"famous" implies that the game was played by skilled players at one point. This is pointless.

[maxace777]

[GoldenJoe]

Care to name it? Players? Date? Ratings?

[DMK000]

This is one of Gioachino Greco's games, played in 1620 or so I believe?

[LeLimeLine]

@GoldenJoe Didn't Bobby Fischer play this?

[maxace777]

@LeLimeLine yep

[WatchTheLeftHook]

@maxace777 NOPE

[Drydoc2]

@LeLimeLine Not Bobby Fischer. It was Gioachino in 1619.

[narutotheoriginal]

@LeLimeLine no it was greco not fischer

[WatchTheLeftHook]

@GoldenJoe it was played by famous players giacomo greco used this

[WatchTheLeftHook]

@GoldenJoe GIACHINO GRECO

[GoldenJoe]

@WatchTheLeftHook Never heard of him, but he can't be that famous to have played such a terrible game. Blunders from start to end.

[mssphysics]

@GoldenJoe Mr. Greco lived in the 1600s, before computers, and before a real strategic understanding of chess, the games before Wilhelm Steinitz usually involved crazy sacrifices and tactics. He is one of the most famous chess players of his era.

[WiTeBoi]

@GoldenJoe

The computer game itself is famous, lol!
