Bobby Fischer is the Greatest Of All Time. A single genius warrior who defeated The Soviet Union at their National Game.
i agree, good luck with the trolls LOL :)
What an elegant style of resignation by Petrosian. It's like leaving a candy on the board.
Your commentary and analysis are excellent! We appreciate you, ChessDawg!
Petrosian is such a misunderstood and underrated star. The thing that people don't usually understand about players like Petrosian is that they have an understanding of the Universe very different to most players- Petrosian is an artist. An artist of defense. This is MUCH more difficult than to be an aggressive player.
Yo Dawg! Thanks again for a great job presenting the Iron Tiger! Tigran was often described as incredibly difficult to beat. They would say that he was fine with winning just one game in a match and then draw the rest for the victory! Now Bobby was 18 years old in this game against a premier Soviet GM who would soon go on to become World Champion for 6 years finally losing to Spassky in 1969! I actually had the privilege to play Mr. Petrosian in a simul in Milwaukee ($25!) in the late 1970s. I booted a full rook in the middle of the game. He came to the board. I showed him my move. He looked, gave a slight head nod to one side (a nonverbal "OK, thanks!") and grabbed my rook! He was gracious enough to not laugh in my face! Seemed like a really decent fellow and a great player and champion for sure. He couldn't know that in 11 years he would face Bobby in a candidates match and get destroyed by the GOAT from New York.
Even the computers agree that Fischer was the GOAT. See Guid&Bratko's studies using engines to analyze past greats.
I'm 80 Yrs. old loved the game all my life played little tournament chess in my early to mid 40's but life- kept me out of it. so had to resort to "Sometime Chess." now retired am enjoying the advantages of computer provided chess opportunity's and thoroughly enjoy your commentary. if is something a Non-book player can enjoy and observe. Thank you for taking the time and for sharing. ECF
i really appreciate the games you choose theyre rarely covered in other channels ty for sharing
agree!
You should cover more of Fischer's late games - from 1965-1972 and his match with Spassky in 1992. Plenty of great games there.
Fischer was 18 years old.
bobby was the Stock'Fish' of the with insanely precise moves
I am so bad at chess but I really like your videos!
i always enjoy this channel ty
A very typical Petrosian game is against Bertok at Zagreb 1965 where Tigran maneuvers subtly in a closed position, seemingly doing nothing, but improving his position gradually, until he's ready to pounce and at the right moment breaks through on the Queenside. In this style Petrosian would confound the computer probably getting a 50% accuracy rating since he seems to do nothing, makes no threats, and just lulls his opponent to sleep by playing seemingly passive, random moves. Another game in this style is against Campos Lopez in San Antonio 1972 where Petrosian plays passively, moving his pieces to the back rank, until he's ready to strike. Very idiosyncratic.
Nice video. First time I've seen "Draw Rejected!" as the main title 🙂. At 4:26 the exchange of pawns would leave black "totally comfortable" yet Fischer offers an exchange of queens 3 moves later, and I don't see that the position has changed enough to make it something he'd want to do. Strange.
Do more of Mikhail tal
Excellent! i would like to see more of Petrosian's games.
Great channel. Games that are classic nowadays.
Always a pleasure !
You should give folks a few extra seconds at the end of the videos to click that like button great video
Awesome recap
Thanks 👌
Hard to imagine refusing a draw vs Petrosian. I would have accepted so fast it would make your head spin 😅
That carlsen comment lmao
Great game
Sir, kindly consider making a video on Kasparov - Gheorghiu, Moscow Interzonal (1982).
Castle Queen, castle queen, that. Should be a rule
Great ❤and 🎉
🙏🏽
Yay!
As a patzer ( 3rd grade ), I would've taken a draw against either of these two. Or both.
18 yo Fischer
Guess you could say Fischer had that… Dawg… in him… sorry I’ll show myself out
Damn boy....finding telling the truth hard, huh?
Petrosian made some bad moves.
Fisher faced the best
