The name Bobby Fischer, at least to Americans, is synonymous with chess. A prodigy in the 50s, a world class player in the 60s, the 70s saw Fischer at his pinnacle. He earned the right to challenge Boris Spassky in a title run without comparison, defeating Mark Taimanov and Bent Larsen with perfect scores of 6-0, and ex-champion Petrosian 6½-2½. Now the stage was set, and the only thing standing between Fischer and Spassky was Fischer himself.
The match was mired in political overtones, during the height of the Cold War. The Soviet chess system had a monopoly on the title since 1948, and the expectations on Spassky were enormous. While Fischer studied chess virtually in seclusion, Spassky had the full resources of the USSR. Victor Baturinsky, head of Soviet Chess Sports Committee, said: "Basically, the Soviet leadership and the powers that be in sport, were interested in just one issue: how to stop Fischer from becoming World Champion.
With the match set to begin in Reykjavik, Iceland, Fischer (who had not signed any documents confirming his participation) began to make a number of demands, including a percentage of television rights, a larger prize fund, and all manner of conditions covering everything from the lighting to the chair cushions. To satisfy Bobby's demands of a larger prize fund, British chess promoter James Slater donated a dazzling $125,000 to be added to the prize fund. Fischer still needed more convincing by Bill Lombardy (Fischer's last-minute choice as second), and one famously persuasive telephone call from Henry Kissinger. Mere hours before he would be forfeited, Fischer arrived in Iceland.

How can one not admire Spassky? He is exactly what I aspire to be as a person. To stand up and join in applause for your adversary..he applauded for his love of the game. A well played game, even if you're on the losing end, is a win for chess itself no matter how you cut it. To rise above your ego to recognize the sheer elegance on display facilitated by the game you love is the highest degree of sportsmanship.
@SelfReflective
@SelfReflective 5 років тому
Yes, you are right. Even though, some context is needed here...players like Kortchnoi and Spassky were in conflict with their chess federation, and with the stifling and monolith atmosphere of the USSR, in fact, they both emigrated from the country later, Kortchnoi to Switzerland and Spassky to France. Since all this political pressure was piled on Spassky to beat Fischer and defend the honor of Soviet chess, I do imagine that him being friendly to Fischer and in this game even applauding him was something of a dig at Soviet authorities. Spassky was a free spirit and a "bon-vivant", he did what he thought was right, and the komisars and the experts can take a hike.

Fischer and Spassky after the match....became and remained lifelong friends (as much as it was possible for anyone to be Fischer's friend). I believe it was Spassky applauding Fischer that did it. Fischer had always wanted recognition and respect and Spassky accomplished both for and to him. Spassky....a true gentleman.

I think its worth mentioning that Spaasky has never lost with this opening before and Fischer has never won with it, so to play that opening in itself is quite amazing by Fischer but when you also consider the importance and magnitude of this historic game 6 it really is quite remarkable and admirable. What a game, what a gentleman Spaasky is, but what a magnificent player Fischer was.

When you put this game in stockfish Bobby played virtually every stockfish recommended move. However in a few instances he actually played a better move than the suggested Stockfish move where if you play it Stockfish shows an even higher evaluation than its original suggested move. The only mistake I found by Bobby in this game was 34. Bd3 which Stockfish analyzes as +5.6 where it suggests 34. Rh5 at +9.52

@@sporter527 Fischer was infamous for his conspiracy theories about Jews and the government. He refused to play Spassky because the projectors showing the match via satellite to the world were too noisy so they changed rooms. He also seemed to think he was being pestered in the house he was staying at with bright lights. The pressure of that match brought out the sickness in him. He didn''t want to play and they forced him with a call from Secretary of State Kissinger. Ironic, the contrived Cold War implications of his rivalry with Soviet players made him a de facto soldier, yet it's dubious he would pass a military psych eval.

I'm a little ashamed to say that, until watching your channel I had never even heard of Paul Morphy, who I now respect tremendously. Keep up the great work ! I've liked and subscribed. During this lockdown of a pandemic, watching your channel is something that truly brings me joy. It doesn't hurt my playing either, as I have over 13,000- 10 minute games played online up till now. You have so much chess knowledge, and I love how you give us regular guys a chance to see what we would do ourselves until showing us the actual move played. You are really brilliant and I simply love your channel sir. Thank you again for bringing us this wonderful channel !

Your presentation of the seemingly story book rise of Fischer is fabulous. If you were not alive then, it is hard to grasp the dynamics of the international politics that were at play and the struggle for power between the US and the Soviet Union. These were the times of the cold war and there was not a lot of love for the Soviet Union in America. Then here comes a kid from New York City that single handedly thrust himself into the battle for chess dominance and step by step, took apart the Soviet Chess Apparatus. Remarkably he was a hero to many Americans but in truth Fischer really had no special loyalty to the US. He did what he did as if he had one and only one mission in life and he would not be distracted from that mission. Those were unbelievable times.
@johnnypastrana6727

Fischer had no special loyalty to the US once George the 1st stripped Bobby of his passport which turned him into a fugitive and saw to it that he was eventually imprisoned in Japan because he played in a match against Spassky in Yugoslovia in 1992. The Bush crime family never let any United Nations sanction or American laws stand in their way of making a buck...even if it meant financing Hitler. That is the thanks that Fischer got from his government for taking on the Russian juggernaut and bringing the chess championship to the USA. The man wasn't allowed to earn a living the only way he knew how. So Fischer turning bitter isn't a puzzlement to me, who the hell wouldn't be bent out of shape over that kind of treatment. When Bush senior passed away, I didn't feel any sorrow...

There was too much pressure on Fisher. You forgot to mention that The USSR used their dominance of chess as a mantle of how superior they were intellectually over the decadent west (as they would say), not mentioning the chess was state sponsored in Russia. In America you got peanuts playing chess, forget any help from the government.

@Spiral81C1
@Spiral81C1 5 років тому
I watched Pawn Sacrifice around the same time I studied this series and I couldn't help but be really moved by Spassky applauding Fischer's game six win. The most obvious thing here is to gain respect for Fischer's brilliant play, but at the same time, it gives great insight into Spassky too and I was really impressed by this gesture. Fischer had in the past talked about how he liked crushing a person's ego, and that likely was the effect here, however, Spassky stepped outside that and simply gave his admiration for a game well played. I can so easily see how this is considered the match of the century. There were so many narratives in play and both of these players are so intriguing and admirable in their own ways.

Hey, in your series about 1959 candidates russian players used a lot of caro-kann defence against Fischer and I believe that you mentioned that Fischer was saying that russians are cowards to not go for sicilian defence against Fischer. Perhaps you could elaborate in your series what changed between those 10 years - cause you covered Palma de Mallorca and candidates 1971 and I was watching it quite carefully and I don't recall single caro-kann. Keep up the good job. Best regards.

This game was a real turning point, and I am really grateful for your analysis here. There were some moves before I hadn't understood so well and you have explained them here so well.

However applause to you, from now on your father will respect you as a man.

Do you know if there is a record of Fischer's exhibitions? Along with about 10 other boys, I played against Fischer in an exhibition in East Lansing, Mich. An article the next day in the Lansing State Journal claimed Fischer won all the matches, but I swear Fischer offered me a draw early in the match and I accepted, shook his hand and left. Everyone had used the same opening, except me. I opened with what I think would be called a Sicilian opening. Fitting as my grandparents were all born in Calabria, across the Straits of Messina from Sicily. I would love to know if Fischer kept a record and if I might be mentioned. I should have stayed and got my name in the newspaper.
