Bobby Fischer's hidden gem in the Ragozin

This is a chess game between Bobby Fischer and Osvaldo Bazan from Mar del Plata 1960. In a Queen's Gambit Declined, Ragozin Defense, Bazan sacrifices a pawn. In exchange for it, he enjoys a safer king position and a lead in development. Featured in this 33-move encounter are multiple aesthetic moves by both players as well as a string of 11 best moves by Fischer.

The more the merrier? 😎

10:55 I really enjoyed that analysis display pattern. Great video as always!

[@ChessNetwork]

Symmetry!

Jerry: “Fisher doesn’t spot the best move, let’s see if you can spot it.”

[@stevenorth1564]

Jerry, you are killing it with these videos every other day. Thank you so much!

[@ChessNetwork]

Thanks man. 👍

[@alexandershorse9021]

Fischer has such depth of vision.

[@chrishauser5505]

If you aren't perfect against Fisher, you ARE perfectly cooked.

[@user-pp8pw5mt3u]

Phenomenal!! Fischer at his best was so sharp...

[@iSa_10a6er]

Ke7 with the idea to play Rhe8 was brilliant! Excellent tactical vision by Fischer

[@davvves7977]

Great video as always!

Love this channel!

[@user-xt1xn9sc4u]

Very impressive to see Bobby Fischer move one of his Rooks for the first time on the twenty-eighth move, and then win by moving his Rooks just four times during the all game

[@triscuit5103]

Thanks Gary, awesome video❤

[@lucasterling]

Thanks ritz. Great effort 🎉

[@triscuit5103]

@@lucasterling thanks Luke!

[@YonaNgambi]

I can't really say that Fischer in this match completely outplayed his opponent. He simply had a slight advantage over his opponent. And he used it to convert a win. Similarly to what Magnus normally does to his opponents.

[@alieninsectbass]

Hey Jerry! Are there any sharp games you could cover in the Spielmann-Indian?

[@thiseasathens]

very good lesson

[@moesheri9385]

Thx Jerry 😊

[@radattk3145]

one of the good ones.

[@gchomuk]

Fascinating.

[@exponentmantissa5598]

Outstanding play by Fischer. He got play from that c3 pin and exploited it for the rest of the game.

[@peterzineksimon]

You can play in so many ways, so many possibilities, and you should play the best move. It seems like imposible.

[@amyalindaily3781]

Tks ❤

[@d007ization]

It's quite something to see what seem to be "just" good moves suddenly turn into white bypassing black's defenses.

[@bradlupien2770]

Hi Jerry! I had a fun idea for you if you wanted to do a series. What if you looked at the most interesting game(s) from every world championship match?

[@xxAutoFlowxx]

Hoooly I just watched the Hateful 8. Oswaldo didn't fair too good in that one also. Too funny

[@Ragehunter]

Great game, I would like to add a point to the video.
After 7...c5!? 8.e3 Nc6?! is a bit sus because white can just play 9.dxc5! (instead of 9.Be2?!) and now black has to play with isolated pawn for the rest of the game. Of course in the game Fischer's opponent went for 9.Be2?! g5 10.Bg3 Ne4 which led to some complications.
I want to point out if you want to play Fischer's g5 idea you can go for 7...g5 (instead of 7...c5) 8.Bg3 Ne4 and now white has to know the correct move which is 9.Nd2! sacrificing the pawn! If white is careless and plays 9.Rc1? you play 9...h5! with the idea h4 next move and white is really in trouble.
So long story short I think g5-Ne4 with c5 push looks a bit better for first look but that can often be wrong due to dxc5 ideas so you have to watch out for that. g5-Ne4 with h5 push can be more effective however if white doesn't know the correct responses white is in trouble.
Great video tho, I enjoyed watching it

[@ChessNetwork]

Thanks. I’ve carelessly played Rc1 before in fast controls and felt the pain of the h5 idea. Good points 👍

[@RAMESHKOTIKALAPUDI]

At 11:25, instead of Bd7, why not Rc8? Why only f5 is the better alternative?

[@cloudforest4087]

That was chaos by white.

[@KanjiMadeEasy]

Thx...

[@curtiswfranks]

I wish that I understood chess.

[@bradleylaford1526]

Chess is a fine Exercise. I'm ok with Losing, as long as I learn...

[@TruthSurge]

13:58 why not move rook to e4 CHECK, then just take knight with other rook, let bish take then take bishop?

[@RAMESHKOTIKALAPUDI]

How's your variation better? At the end of that variation, white is a full rook down. Not sure what you missed; probably the fact that the black king will take white knight when getting out of rook check.
