I'm so glad i'm not the only one drunk watching Morphy games on youtube...

Bryan Tuck Your comment cracks me up. Same here, friend. "Drunk" is only part of it, nudge nudge, wink wink. I enjoy getting into the right state of mind & watching chess-related videos. Glad there are, at the very least, 3 of us. Lol Your move.

pepamethodman Hahaha! Hilarious. I feel ya.

I like to play online chess at the strip club, especially if I'm stoned.

LMAO I almost choked on the pasta I had on my mouth reading this

I made this to subscribe to chief pat. I know I pissed my pants too!!!💯💯💯😂😂😂👍👍👍👌👌👌⚠⚠⚠‼‼‼

Jack Carter ....as any chessplayer does !

@@henryseidel5469 hardly

bobby was a simple person with god-gifted capabilities. no.. thete will be none like him.. ever. you may criticise him,hate him... but cannot IGNORE THE GOD OF CHESS.

aditya chakraborti One of the gods!!!* StockFish is also a god!!!

Adam Abader you mean Deep Mind Alpha Zero ?!😂

@@adityachakraborti5712 Paul Morphy and Capablanca were the only people equal with his talent.

yes he has a great smile

Jessica Crawford no way! Can you send me the link?

I've nearly played the Opera game a few times with white. I think there's something about the way beginner's minds work that causes them to play that way with the black pieces. It was true in 1858, it seems to be true now. Maybe the thought process goes something like this: 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 d6 (well, I need to defend e5 somehow) 3. d4 Bg4 (Hey look, a pin! I should take it!) 4. dxe5 Bxe5 (If I don't trade I'll lose a pawn) 5. Qxf3 Nf6 (Well, I have to defend mate) and so we get opera game like positions.

I know that’s a real shame that just shows America uses people for their own desires and throw them away once they reach their objective goal

@@Wally780 Exactly ! Bobby Fischer is a sad example for what you've just said. In the long run it destroys the reputation of America in the world - not only in the field of chess.

Stupid question by the interviewer

Palmarius not really

Bobby fischer was a huge fan of Murphy

Ernesto Carrillo Too much a fan, I’m afraid to say. Both prodigies, both self taught chess at early grade school age, both the best player of their era, both stopped playing chess at their peak, both suffered from mental illness most likely brought on by chess.

Bobby Fischer was Morphys reincarnation. Same story almost.

+Liam Cooper It wasn't Bf4.

I agree

It would have also been nice to see how Fischer would have handled Kasparov in the mid 80s. Even though Fischer would be about 40 by then and probably passed his prime it still would have been one for the history books.

@@sanseverything900 most games would end in a draw but fischer would have handled kasparov comfortably....assuming once again both were in their strongest days

Good.

Poor use of brackets, a comma would have sufficed...

@@screenwatcherfindlay6027 The whole second sentence was hurried and seems redundant and awkward; but they aren't called "brackets." They are parentheses. If you are going to correct someone on punctuation or grammar, at least get the words right.

There are many people like that - even in politics.

I was thinking the same. This is one of the only full games I know by heart and I’m under 2000

Yeah, I saw the way he responded to the guy too! He accidently spoke to Fischer in his language, and Fischer responded, so nice

Probably not much, he despised memorized openings to begin with, and hated how high level players just memorize preparations, traps, etc. These days with engines its even worse.

+superhacker35 ascendent fischer didn't despise memorizing; retired, mentally ill, misanthropic fischer did tho.

superhacker35 What are you supposed to do? played flawed openings and lose? If he didn't like memorizing he should've never played. He was fucking crazy

Rick Sanchez Memorising doesn't determine who's truly the better player that's why he hated it you idiot!!! Mr Fischer didn't like Memorising because it would give his opponent a better chance to win!!!

fischer would despise someone like Giri

They say he chickened out against Karpov. Really? After destroying one Russian after another he was afraid of a dude the same as them? Why? Karpov was the same as Petrosian, Reshevsky, Tal, Korchnoi, they were all clones.

@@hyzercreek during the candidates tournament fischer defeated karpov and only then he was able to play with boris spassky after fischer became world champion during candidates karpov emerged victorious to play against bobby fischer fischer wud have easily beaten karpov the second time around

@@hyzercreek Most experts thought Karpov would have given Fischer a much tougher game than Spassky. Remember that Spassky never reached his full potential in the match due to Fischer's constant complaints.

@@lbvprasad5495 What are you talking about, Fischer never played a single game against Karpov. Fischer beat Taimanov, Larsen and Petrosian in the 1971 play off matches.

@@simonlevett4776 And they were all the same as Krapov

He annotated ten games in this series with Bjelica. Featured were Morphy, Steinitz, Capablanca, Botvinnik (on his famous Dubrovnik set!), Tal, Petrosian, Larsen, Spassky, Reshevsky and Gligoric.

@@fundhund62is there a clip please?

Ronbo710 On my channel I have uploaded a few more of these Fischer game annotations. Viva chess!

Yeah good make it’s three if you can make it four and so on

I think 8 moves into the future and i get good positions but i run out of time

When he said it was typical of Steinitz's ideas, I think he only means that it was typical for Steinitz to play such strategic lines since Steinitz appreciates small and stable positional advantages, and thought in a very consistent and algorithmic manner...He is saying Steinitz's idea of gxf3 is a good variation One of the finest chess.com articles I've read recently www.chess.com/blog/raync910/equilibrium-an-important-chess-concept-of-steinitz

Because he's Fischer. That's a good enough reason he'd know and use the algebraic.

Even guys like Lasker and Capablanca used algebraic notation.

The two are similar. I understand some very little russian, and there are definitely similarities.

Fischer knew little to no russian or german..these urban legends of his intellect were greatly exagerrated..chess genius: no doubt..away from chess, not very intellectually inclined.. awkward socially, suspicious..not very well educated..his entire brilliance is in chess and that alone..I think he was the greatest chess player ever..as an everyday citizen my iq is probably higher..i think these stories are greatly embellished and i don't for a second believe his mother was some kind of academic PhD

@@mitchelll3879 You think you have a higher IQ?

Fischer.But Morphy was also a genius

Walter Caporicci Sarajevo, 1970

MANY chess grandmasters have gone insane.

comment deletion incoming. :D

Case in point ^

There is a variation : Bxf7+ Qxf7 Qxb7 is also winning, but Morphy wanted to develop his pieces.

As Agadmator says, Qxb7 is a butcher's move, and Murphy was no butcher.

Stockfish actually agrees bringing out the knight:). Fischer said this "Morphy was perhaps the most accurate chess player who ever lived"

Adrian P Let's go back to 1972 and Fischer is world champion. If you could choose from all the great chess players of ALL TIME for Fischer to to compete against, who would you have chosen and why? In other words, do you believe there may have been somebody who could've kept him from winning the title?

I suspect a few others might have understood Morphy's strategy too, before Fischer did: Lasker, Capa, Alekhine, Tal, I'd guess.

+USNVA Any modern champion and top grandmaster for the same reason Fischer said that Morphy would be beat by a student of the game back in the 60's because the theory of the opening has become so advanced, the only thing you can compare is raw talent, chess is not a wonderful game of strategy and creativity anymore, it was not maybe even then in the age of Fisher, he again pointed out that himself by saying a big part of the game is memorization, or to put it to you in propper perspective there is literary a move and counter move for each motherfucking game and opening except for the last ending 10-20 moves, it is like crossing the street to get to the market - billions of things and posibilities can be done but there are only few and logical ways to getting across the street to the store. If you are looking for creativity and strategy in endless option you should try ''GO'' , a chinese board game so advanced even the most advanced computers can be intermediate players. I hope that you are satisfied with the answer which basicaly is - Talentwise it's a probability that he would be the best, but knowledgewise he would be beaten.

+pepamethodman Nope, novelties happen all the time in openings that deviate from book after several moves, and a player can pick from a half dozen variations and so on, so memorization quickly ends in real life games. Don't overgeneralize like Fischer did. It distorts reality. Go play a game and test your sill theory. Deviate from the book or database and see what happens. You don't know what you are talking about. New situations arise in chess all the time, requiring new thinking. You just repeat dogma you heard.

+Dexter Haven My point is that Fischer talentwise was maybe greater that todays players, and in knowledge wise he would lose to any major GM, if you studied chess as it can be seen by your cockiness you would know that it is an objective fact, emotions aside, it is not dogma. And about go play a game, i probably have played 1 or 2 games in my life :D And for Anand and Carlsen it is a game of patterns and they dominated the chess scene last 10 years, so.... PS: try playing Go if you get a hard on on new situations that require strategy and creativness.

He went insane, as grandmasters often do.

Well he would have won. He quit because the world championship was too few games

Eh, everyone knows he would have easily beat Karpov though. It wasn't cowardice so much as he'd already done what he set out to do so he didn't feel motivated anymore. Same thing happened to Morphy actually. He just stopped prematurely.

+ykb946 In which way? Please explain...

he was translator, not commentator.

coco796 whatever , he should have shut his mouth

Buzzbox3rd This guy translated more than what Bobby said lol

Eddaoudi Mehdi I would rather listen to Bobby than some loud mouth translator , lol that off

or you should have invited Bobby on your TV at that time. He was their guest and it is normal to have translation.

I know. He's a shitty translator. Let Bobby express a complete thought first, then translate. This clown host likes to play boss. I hate that trait.

pirate0bloodyskull thats his work leasting and translate at the same time

Mwangi Kimani Fischer’s whole family was Jewish. His mother was a hardcore Jewish communist activist and he grew up in a Jewish community in New York. He obsessively studied history his whole life and spent his later life tracking down obscure and rare history books. He was someone that believed in the American ideals of fairness, equality and freedom and he had a difficult time in real life confronted by the evils of reality. Large political groups like the Jews fight for control of the world and manipulation of people. Fischer was an idealistic person who believed in ethics and strong moral values. He hated the Jews for what they do in the world and he knew very well the things they so. Like many other groups and really all the religions whose origins are in the Middle East (Christian, Catholic, Muslim and Jews) They are all political groups active in geopolitics try control with absolute power. Systems and organizations of control not religious beliefs. Although they do have religion as a part of their structure. They have all killed millions upon millions of people. Continuing on until forever
