You're very right.. Bobby Fischer was spot on till the day he died.. take a closer look . He died at 64 years old... How many squares on a chess board ?? See.. also he never went crazy.. he was merely making his mark, and he did make his legacy felt and remarkably influencial and mysterious.. however, notice he was enraged over the demeaning of the Palestinian State... If someone reveals conspiracy that is 100% spot on, it's likely you would be on the biggest hitlist!!! I wish America and Israel implement a better form of government...

I knew Fischer personally and he was not paranoid at all. He had a poor tolerance to psychological stress, particularly during chess matches, and that were times when tournament organizers had problems with him. Otherwise, in normal circumstances he was a pleasant man to socialize with- not at all a kind of a loner who evades humans . He had some particular requests when chess matches were played concerning the number of visitors that may enter playing hall or chess set that should be used. My father had a particular chess set and a board which we still keep made for Dubrovnik Olympiad in 1950. Bobby Fischer requested to play chess during 1970 match USSR vs the rest of the world in Belgrade and 1992 Fischer - Spasky match only with this set and no one other. On some matches he insisted to play in private rooms with his opponents without presence of a public, since the public distracted him. For instance during Fischer-Taimanov match in Vancouver, in addition to players and the arbiter, only six people in the world could enter the playing room. Overall, Fischer was a genious, but not a paranoic or madman like some people think.

The toxicity about fillings, as obscure as it may seem is VERY REAL-- while people of wealth used gold fillings knew its molecular make- up would make it MUCH SAFER than-- siiver! The silver filling DID HAVE ALLOYS( not pure silver) in them and Fisher was very right to be worried! That many years ago -- this was all there was available! Not ONE DENTIST of QUALITY uses silver or even gold fillings! IF you have EITHER of those fillings dentists WILL ENCOURAGE you to get them taken out and replace with much BETTER and SAFER materials!

I was a kid (UK) when Bobby Fischer became world champion. It was the height of the cold war and it was not just a case of him being a strong chess player, but east v west. The media loved it, and almost certainly, never has chess had such a high following. Chess matches were even televised on mainstream TV. My school had an A and a B team in inter school leagues. Now most schools do not even have a chess club. I should think the majority of people today could not name who the world champion is now, that was not the case in 1972.

I do agree that chess went on a decline on a cultural, social and media level -- but that decline didn't happen after the Fischer era, it happened after the titanic Kasparov/Karpov struggles of the 1980s and 1990s. Chess was probably at its lowest point during the 2000s and early 2010s, but we do seem to be having another golden age again, with Carlsen having the "Kasparov effect" of being the undisputed best player in the world -- as opposed to the constant bickering between PCA and FIDE, having dozens of "world champions" with zero credibility. Additionally we have chess becoming an e-sport that can be streamed on Twitch, and finally the Queen's Gambit series.

Have you noticed that this is the story of Fischer as US would tell it? I will never get tired of defending him and I will explain why: everything he was afraid of was plausible, 1. It was true that US used him as a War Machine against USSR, 2.There is a long story of cheating in the history of chess, 3. What he thought about Palestine and Israel is a respected opinion arround the world except in US and Israel, and that made him a target of the US, 4.He rejected to play in the computer Era because he loved Chess as a game of Intelligence, strategy and psychology, and not as a game of memorization and preparation as it is today due to the computers..... As said, this documentary shows that Bobby wasn't educated, with no social-skills (what is not true, he had a refined sense of humor: watch Carsson´s Late Show appereance), that he disliked women (just because he says they are bad at chess, what is somehow true, with exceptions as the sisters Polgar...) there has never in 134 /since the first Championship/ years been a female Wrold Champion; telling this is impopular, but also true)... They also said he lived an obscure life after his problems, how do they know? Did the poster ask his neighbours in Iceland? or is it that he hated cameras and reporters. It is sad how he was punished, he is the biggest World Champion of History of Chess, and this is not just my opinion.
@SuperLol Рік тому
Fischer is def no ordinary man one can meet on the street, but because of that i think we are making a lot of assumptions as this video shows, simply based on his actually rather defensible statements and opinions (as u and many other comments have shown). He's simply a guy that goes straight to the point, and maybe too much in certain ways, but that can't possibly make someone insane. Maybe he is, but we're simply making too many assumptions rn without further evidence. I especially found his argument on women in chess interesting. He did not say women can't get better in chess. Women being currently inferior in chess compared men does not indicate they can get better, or that they can't get better. But one fact is that they are worse right now. Maybe he was a bit too straight on, again, but I can totally see many of my friends say that while also supporting women in any other field and in life in general. Maybe he thought it'd be a hot topic to bring up? Maybe he felt pressured in interview? Maybe he just didn't really think too much about it before the interview? These are assumptions just like the ones many of us are making to accuse him of mental illness. He might be insane; he might not be. But we don't know and people can't take that as an answer.

We can’t assume Fischer was crazy. Geniuses often have trouble functioning. I know that his games sometimes rose to the level of aesthetic beauty.

One more thing: he actually grew to dislike the game of chess and complained that it had no future, given that its theory and analysis had run its course. He preferred a new multidimensional version of chess that tested the true insight of the players, as opposed to the “book” knowledge of the opening moves.

Fischer threw Spassky a curve ball when he came out with queen pawn opening just for that reason. I'm sure he was isolated and lonely a lot. This pandemic has got a lot of us feeling that.

But I believe he did not have anyone to talk to that could listen and understand him, and that he was therefore frustrated and lonely. He needed spiritual guidance and someone intelligent to talk to, but he lacked that kind of help. He understood that the world is an abominably evil place, and thought people were insane for not seeing this.

He was gaslighted by the Feds, not surprising he seemed crazy. He tried to fight back intellectually too late in life. His brain was by then too programmed for chess.

Without judging anything of the point and understanding it's a subjective matter, I gotta remark that the world isn't “abominable” by definition, but rather a soup of possibilities. Life can be wonderful and calling this, the place we inhabit, as so is just an arrogant way of humans to classify their world without fully understanding it.

@@SamuelAParra he was gaslighted by a large network of criminals holding security clearances. Just because most people don't get such treatment, doesn't mean that a small number of famous or soon to be famous people get it. Same old empire nonsense which has been around for millenia. Fortunately other countries know what's going on and more so these days and some put some limits on it albeit if they are supported by an opposing empire. It's nasty, it's ugly and if people understood how their world was actually managed, the whole thing would collapse in a heartbeat.

I used to work with a guy like Fischer. He was the smartest person I ever met. I consider myself above average intelligence, he made me feel stupid at times. He could do anything he set his mind to. However he was an absolute crack pot, massive temper tantrums, hitting himself in the face with his own fist, etc. He wasn't insane but everyone in the shop could see he had a bunch of lose screws, no one could deny he was very intelligent.

Morphy, Fischer, and Carlsen are 3 men whom have dominated chess so utterly and thoroughly. BUT Robert James Fischer did what no other man could do, topple the soviet dominance
@podunkest Рік тому
Well, Carlsen is playing in an era where there is no soviet dominance to topple - It's an age-old question that will/can never be truly answered and the game has changed so much since Fischer's peak due to the natural progression of the game and computers (Chess Engines) being used very intensively to study - If Magnus Carlsen went back in time and played in Fischer's time with his current repertoire and knowledge, I think anyone who follows chess would agree, he would dominate everyone. But the real question is: if Fischer were to come in to his own today where would he stand? No doubt he'd be one of the best in the world, probably top 3 if not the best. It's impossible to ever say because of what engines have done to the game. Magnus is, imo, the best ever but it's kind of an unfair comparison.

@@chandie5298 you can't say Fabiano Caruana is an ant dude... Or Ian or Hikaru or Ding, etc.. Fabi had like the second or third highest rating of all time at one point and we'll never be able to say with certainty due to engines but to think the top players in the world today are somehow worse than in the past seems kind of silly to me to put it politely. If you sent any of the top players today back in time they would walk whoever they played but again, that's due, a lot, to the existence of stockfish. It's a pointless debate.

It is impossible to compare chess players from different generations because every generation learns from the generation before and this generation learns from chess engines. Having said that, he was easily the greatest chess player of all time.

The best in the modern age is no doubt Kasparov. The best when comparing to contemporaries is Morphy .

Not so. Fischer and Kasparov would smoke any modern chess player so yes it is easy to compare generations at least so far. As you say maybe we will see some humans trained by chess engines that can do better.

@@Icannottolerateit There is always doubt when the criteria are themselves the matter of debate. And the study of chess in Morphy's day was nothing like it was in Fischer's, so that comparison is hard to make.
