Robert Byrne vs Robert James Fischer
“The Brilliancy Prize” (game of the day Mar-09-2017)
US Championship (1963/64), New York, NY USA, rd 3, Dec-18
King’s Indian Defense: Fianchetto Variation. Immediate Fianchetto (E60)
1. d4 Notes from various sources. 1… Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. g3 c6 4. Bg2 d5 5. cd5 5.Qb3 maintains more tension. — Fischer 5… cd5 6. Nc3 Bg7 7. e3 O-O 8. Nge2 Nc6 9. O-O b6 10. b3 It’s hard for either side to introduce an imbalance into this essentially symmetrical variation. Deadeye equality also ensues afer 10.Nf4 e6 11.b3 Ba6 12.Re1 Rc8 13.Ba3 Re8 14.Rc1 (Stahlberg-Flohr, Kemeri 1937) — Fischer 10… Ba6 11. Ba3 After White’s 11th move I should adjudicate his position as slightly superior, and at worst completely safe. To turn this into a mating position in eleven more moves is more witchcraft than chess! Quite honestly, I do not see the man who can stop Bobby at this time. — K.F. Kirby, South African Chess Quarterly 11… Re8 12. Qd2 e5! I was a bit worried about weakening my QP, but felt that the tremendous activity obtained by my minor pieces would permit White no time to exploit it. 12…e6 would probably lead to a draw. — Fischer 13. de5 Ne5 14. Rfd1 “Add another to those melancholy case histories entitled: The Wrong Rook.” — Fischer ~ “This is very much a case of ‘the wrong rook’. One can understand Byrne’s desire to break the pin on the e2-knight, but this turns out to be less important than other considerations. Fischer spends a lot of time and energy analysing the superior 14. Rad1!, but still comes to the conclusion that Black can keep the advantage.” — John Nunn 14… Nd3 Now it’s all systems go for the Fischer rocket. — Robert Wade 15. Qc2 There is hardly any other defense to the threat of …Ne4. — Fischer 15… Nf2! The key to Black’s previous play. The complete justification for this sac does not become apparent until White resigns! — Fischer 16. Kf2 Ng4 17. Kg1 Ne3 18. Qd2 Byrne: As I sat pondering why Fischer would choose such a line, because it was so obviously lost for Black, there suddenly comes… 18… Ng2!! This dazzling move came as the shocker… the culminating combination is of such depth that, even at the very moment at which I resigned, both grandmasters who were commenting on the play for the spectators in a separate room believed I had a won game! — Robert Byrne 19. Kg2 d4! 20. Nd4 Bb7 The King is at Black’s mercy. — Fischer 21. Kf1 In a room set aside for commentaries on the games in progress, two grandmasters were stating, for the benefit of the spectators, that Byrne had a won game. Byrne’s reply to Fischer’s next move must have been jaw dropping! — Wade 21… Qd7 And White resigns. Fischer writes: “A bitter disappointment. I’d hoped for 22.Qf2 Qh3+ 23.Kg1 Re1+!! 24.Rxe1 Bxd4 with mate to follow shortly.”

"Whenever you have to make a rook move, and both rooks are available for said move, you should evaluate which rook to move and, once you have made up your mind, move the other one." -Savielly Tartakower
The Fischer Prize of $64,000 for anyone who could equal Fischer's feat of 11-0 came from this tournament. Needless to say, no one has ever come close to claiming it. Nor will anyone in the future. I began following Bobby when he was thirteen years old and I was twelve. To my mind, his games are the greatest in chess lore from an artistic point of view. One never tires of replaying them. Even his losses have a brilliancy about them. On your birthday cake, Mr. Fischer, there needs to be sixty-four candles with four letters in the middle: G.O.A.T.
Bobby was handsome like hell
I am very happy that I found the moves 😂❤
Mind blowing game look so simple but so complex. Could not see all the possibilities. Fisher was so brilliant.
8:30 what if you play Bf7 check
Great game, thanks for bring it to us. By the way, you pronounce the surname "Byrne," exactly the same as the word "Burn." You don't try and mush "By" and "Urn," together.
The Goat.
Fischer was good at chess, but that didn't make him a good person
Demasiadas idas por las ramas, no me gustó
Bobby fisher looks like Hollywood hero on thumbnail.
My favourite Fischer game ever, his "brilliancy prize" game, demolishing another top player in 21 moves in a classical game from a seemingly equal position out of the opening….
May the best Robert win! Oh wait, he did!! 😀
Pronounce Byrne as in Burn
I’m so happy you finally covered this game, my favorite Fischer game, and some of the best commentary from his book.
If you wanted to defeat Fischer, the Greco Gambit was your best chance.
Those born too late to remember Fischer probably can’t quite appreciate how extraordinary his genius really was. He was so far ahead of the rest of the field that it was ridiculous to even compare him with the others. He was simply in a class by himself. Like the great racehorse, Secretariat, at the Belmont Stakes, no one else was even close.
Young Bobby Fischer kinda looks like Tom Hardy
Has any top player finished a tournament with a perfect score since Fischer? That’s astonishing.
Congratulations to Larry Evans for winning the tournament.
And a superb performance from Bobby Fischer in his exhibition. Happy birthday Bobby!
first video of yours i had to watch back a few times, unbelievable
Bobby = GOAT
i’m sorry if i sound like a dummy, but i thought capa’s bday was 11/19? i think march 8th is the day of his passing.
Robert Fischer GOAT
Why does Fischer on the thumbnail look like Eric Hansen
Oh I thought I was going to watch Tom Hardy play chess…
Do people still wonder why Fischer is the best player ever?!?
Antonio says Robert Byrne, is "mostly remembered for losing this game to Bobby Fischer."
That reminded me of a documentary titled "Facing Ali" in which former opponents of Muhammad Ali were interviewed. Ron Lyle fought Ali in 1975 in Ali's second title defense of his second reign as champ,. The fight was stopped by the referee in the 11th round. In the documentary, Lyle said ""If there don't be no Ali, you think you'd be sitting here talking to Ron Lyle? About what?"
Please include their FIDE ratings next time
@agadmator Byrne is pronounced as "burn" it's an Irish surname
it's pronounced "burn"
Korchnoi: " We play chess, he (Fischer) plays something else". How many chess players do you know who can afford to default a championship game while one down and from 0-2 still run away with the title? Even Magnus can't. No one can. Ever.
Although the commentators believed the game was winning for Robert, it was really winning for Robert
I have used Stockfish 15.1 & he told me after deep 33 ..Nf4 with 0.00 🙂
At 7:44 Fischer's suggestion to keep the pressure was NOT Qd7 but actually Qc8. Qd7 looks also nice and your analysis shows that black keeps the tension, but in was never suggested by Fischer.
My favorite game of all time, thank you agad!!
what a game from Bobby Fischer
Agad you make me want to play chess. And chess is good 🙂 Bless you!
My favorite number 1 ever played game in history.
Byrne is pronounced "burn"
I’ve been playing lots of chess games probably around 15 games per day pretty much every day for a while now but I just can’t seem to understand the fundamentals concepts, I play pretty well but have no consistency! I love the game but I just don’t think my brain is wired to recognise patters! Any tips on how to learn the fundamentals of the game? Reading has never been my way of learning as things don’t seem to stick! I know what the responses are probably going to be that I’ll never be a good player! Surely there are other players who’ve had this issue so I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction for an average player who wants to up his game! I only play for fun never competitive! Anyone? 😊
JR Capablanca was born Nov 19, 1888 in Havana, Cuba. Perhaps you were referring to the day he died, March 8, 1942 in New York City. Fischer was, however, born March 9, 1943, in Chicago.
Flawless victory.!😂 11 games 11 wins. Was everyone else weak or is Bobby just too strong.
One of the greatest resignations in chess history is how I have always viewed this game. It isn't, at least to me, been easy to see that white was completely lost at the end, even though he was, and Byrne recognized it.
By the way, most of us American chessplayers remember Robert Byrne better for his chess columns in The New York Times. I followed every single World Championship from 1984 until 2000 by reading his columns covering the games.
What separates Fischer from the rest is THE MOVE.
I share AN EFFING B DAY WITH BOBBY FISCHER?? IM REALIZING THIS NOW!??
Isn't it pronounced like "Burn"?
Agad – your facility with foreign names is so good, I hesitate to mention this, but the surname of BF's opponent here is pronounced just like "burn" as in what a flame does
Where is Medo The Chess Dog?
Brilliant Bobby Fischer
