This is Why Fischer Hated Photographers!

Please, Agadmator, could you show my grandfather's games vs. Fischer or Kavalek from Netanya 1968? He passed away a month ago, and it would be an amazing way to honor him. My grandpa, Uzi Geller, was actually a truck driver who played chess as a hobby, but he was a genius. He was a self-taught chess master who started playing seriously at the age of 30. Despite this late start, he won our national championship and even defeated Kavalek! He also managed to get draws against Reshevsky and Benko. The games are: Uzi Geller vs. Fischer 0-1: Fischer won with a beautiful tactic in 32 moves Uzi Geller vs. Kavalek 1-0 : Truly a brilliancy! They can be found online on the chessgames website, but youtube won't let me post the links :) Thank you so much, Agad! This would mean the world to me. #suggestion

It's amazing that we talk about a game in 1967 like it was only being played yesterday

Imagine being so good at chess that the commentators have to take a moment to explain that your opponents weren't actually idiots before they show the game.

Its funny how all these disturbances only happen when Fischer is around

In this tournament Reshevsky won a fine game against Henrique Mecking and he considered the game was good enough as to be part of his book "The Art of Positional Play"

Giving us a few seconds to find the move that no other than Bobby Fischer missed is very generous

Awesome analysis as always, Agadmator! Your breakdowns make learning chess so much fun and accessible. As a lower-rated player, I find your insights incredibly helpful for improving my game. Thanks for the great content!

Please cover the following games from the Sousse Interzonal 1967: 1. I Bilek vs Larsen 2. Giplis vs Larsen 3. Suttles vs Korchnoi 4. M Cuellar Gacharna vs Fischer #suggestion

7:59 I found Rg8 for Fischer

Ahh "photographers" - the original "Alireza's shoes"

Its probably a good idea not to exhaust all fisher games for his birthdays

Lovin all these

Where is the standings???

Iiiiiiiiii bet he reads Tales from the GrandMasters 😂😂😂😂😂

Valid variation. Thanks.

Don't see many games from Lubosh in this channel! Maybe the Karpov, Gufeld or "J'adoubovic" (Matulovic) in 1966). Also - love this line on the poisoned pawn!!!

Why does he sac the knight at 9:10?

If that is the correct position at 11.12 when black King goes to D8, would not White queen to G5 check lead to checkmate in 1-2, if black places his Rook or Bishop in front of the queen they get taken either way and lead to check mate. Am I missing something? Was it not Kavalek's win?

It didn't take me too much to consider the idea that Fischer missed and the plan to recoorddinate the black pieces, since it's the most aggressive move and black is up a piece after all. But also, I'm a player from the modern era of engine evauations and calculate the position with calmness, from the comfort of my home with a cup of coffee in one hand and the phone on the other. Bobby was a Diva, but this was a very tense situation, where you can't afford to lose with your opponent playing in this manner

Did you discuss the queen sac from the thumbnail ??
