    If you would like to retrace Fischer's Road to Reykjavik, then we have created a new playlist, starting with the Palma de Mallorca Interzonal tournament 1970, then the Candidates matches against Taimanov, Larsen, and Petrosian:

    In this game, Petrosian played like a man who ran his race. His opening here looks tired and worn out by consistent pressure. Thank you Dan, for spending time on the series, its timeless work. Will be looked into by many

      This peak version of Fischer just wore everyone down methodically. His opponents must have felt like they were suffocating. It's impossible to play against a machine like Fischer. Incredible

    “Tiger, however paradoxical it sounds, possesses fantastic tactical vision that against the background of his immensely subtle understanding of
    positions and supernatural sense of danger nobody notices. Try not to sacrifice anything, and in general, don’t play directly against him.
    He’ll always find a defense, no matter how improbably, against concrete threats. His Achilles heel is defense in a slightly worse position, especially when he has no counterplay. Even then, you have to positionally squeeze him gently, without rushing and without making any sudden movements.”
    Boris Spassky

    Thank you for your wonderfully helpful and clear explanations! I thoroughly enjoyed this "road to Reykjavik". I particularly liked that you looked at (almost) every game of these matches! I would love you to continue this format in regard to some other matches in the future.
    I mean, there are countless WC matches that have only very few books written about them (in English, anyway). And I would greatly appreciate a gifted teacher like yourself guiding us through some of them.

    • @PowerPlayChess

      Thank you. I have really enjoyed going through the games, although I should mention that it takes a lot of energy to do the research, so I think I am going to take a break from a match series. However, I would welcome suggestions. I have a few in mind already...

    • @fundhund62
      @fundhund62 Před 4 lety

      @@PowerPlayChess Yes, I'm sure it does! But rest assured that all your hard work payed off! Your explanations make these (well known!) games come alive in a way that is immensely helpful (and fun!) even to lesser players like myself.
      As for suggestions, I recently went over the 1966 match and tried to make sense of the little information available. I found it interesting, because Petrosian in particular had a very distinctive style, which is always fun!
      The Botvinnik-Bronstein encounter would be another favorite, but maybe going over some older matches (e.g. by Alekhine) would prove to offer even better instructional value!?

    Thank you for this great series on a valuable topic.
    Candidates matches are often ignored, but they are a treasure trove. Fisher was never better than in his candidates matches. Spassky was also at his peak in his candidates matches in 1965 and in 1968. And so on. Bringing recognition to this great chess is good.

    That's a very instructive game. I sometimes fail to employ the proper technique when I'm ahead in material. Fischer shows us how it's done! Also, 45.Ke5 is a cool move

    One striking thing, to me at least, about Fischer's candidate matches is how often his opponents almost beat themselves...

    Never bothered checking out game 9 at the time. So many subtleties in such 'simple' positons. For me, it was the fearless king walk at the end that showed Fischer's supreme confidence

    Thank you for this very interesting and instructive series of videos.
    In later years Fischer only seemed to have respect for Spassky. Although Petrosian crumbled in the second half of this match, he seemed to be the better player at the beginning. Whereas Spassky was gifted a two point lead, he collapsed very quickly without seeming to give Fischer any trouble.

    Such a sad finish by Petrosian. Clearly his tail was already between his legs when this game took place.

  • @huddunlap3999
    @huddunlap3999 Před 4 lety

    Fine gave 3....Nc6 two question marks. "Every beginner ( even those who have not read my books) knows that blac should not block his QBP. Why Petrosian does so remains incomprehensible"
    Fine.
    You mentioned that it was played successfully in the 80's, are there any examples before the match?

    • @PowerPlayChess
      @PowerPlayChess  Před 4 lety +1

      Fine's comment is subjective at best. Many strong players tried the move before this game in 1971: Korchnoi, Portisch, Huebner, for example; and going much further back, Nimzowitsch. The move itself is not bad; but how Petrosian played afterwards was poor, which Fischer exploited with his remarkable technique. Petrosian was a broken man by this stage in the match, and Fischer was only gaining in confidence and strength.

  • @travispetit2410

      There have been more books written on the 1972 match than on any other in chess history.
      There are comments on these games by Kasparov, Karpov, Timman, Euwe, Botvinnik, Smyslov, Tal.. and many others! Hell, there is even a book commenting on every single move of the match!
      So as much as I love Mr. King, I really hope he will look at some other matches in the future!
