1963 US Chess Championship: Bobby Fischer vs Pal Benko

►http://twitch.tv/ChessNetwork ►http://twitter.com/ChessNetwork



This is a wonderfully simple and beautiful game by Bobby Fischer from round 10 of the 1963 United States Chess Championship, which was held in New York. Stunning moves in a chess game can present themselves when one has a positionally superior position; this game is no exception. Fischer won the tournament 11-0.

I love how you commented on the early opening, especially on the Bc4 variation(he played Bd3 instead in this game) since IIRC, Fischer loves to play Bc4 in other lines(i forgot the name, but i think it's a Sicilian line). You are one of the best chess commentators on YT. I hope you keep up the hard work dude, which i assume you are doing for free atm. I hope you get more subscribers and the love of chess increases too at the same time. =]

I would prefer to not know who won...even though it was obvious, but thank you for your posts!

jerry .Please do not do any more fischer games ! he backed september 2011 attacks and very arrogant and kicked his mum out of house as teenager and took money from serbia when they were slaughtering bosnians . . he should not be any one's role model

[ChessNetwork]

@MrIran69 Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm very unlikely to take it.

[chessenthusiast]

You should do more Fischer games. He's one of our favorite players, and you are by far our favorite commentator. :-)

@duumitri yes and also f5 is trying to exchange queens

[duumitri]

it took me a while to see why the rook sacrifice offer was necessary... but then i saw that it blocks blacks last possibility to release pressure by playing f5, and now the bishop would just stand in the way... might be one small detail that should be mentioned for noobs like me ;) but i love all your videos, learning so much, thanks!

Ne2 most elegant move ive seen

[nebeals17]

Love the videos. You are by far the most instructive player/commentator on YouTube, keep it up! Also, watching these Fischer games where he crushes strong GMs in 21 moves are amazing. It's really cool to watch someone with an understanding of the game as deep as Fischer's punishing opponents for their inaccuracies so forcefully.

Wow, you are really good at chess game commentary. That was one of the easiest to follow and enjoyable commentaries on a chess game I've seen. You clearly know what you're doing.

@ChessNetwork Glad to hear that.

@MrIran69 Please don't talk about people who aren't here(ie alive) to defend their political viewpoints, because i'm guessing you don't actually understand his position or the things he talks about well enough to say all the things you say. That, AND Fischer was one of the greatest chess players of all time. Cut him some slack. He didn't 'back' any sep 11 attacks. You make it sound like he funded it all. I'm guessing he believed in 'Karma', and he's right.
