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.”

Fischer game? aight, pause everything
Byrne is pronounced Burn.
Just nitpicking, but "Byrne" is pronounced like "Burn"
Byrne….pronounced "Burn"
Would have loved to see a Capablanca video for his birthday yesterday, make it happen Agad!!
Robert made this move and Fischer made that move lol
11 out of 11 against grandmasters is insane!!
Fischer, might always be the GOAT.
Can you post Anna cramblings father
At his best (and if you take engines out of it) I think Fischer was the best player of all time. Not career-wise, but peak-wise.
Because the commentators did not have chess AI to help them out.😅
OMG I've been looking for this game forever! I had an old Kasparov electronic chess board from the 80's or 90's that came with a booklet that had a section about great games of all time. I remember something to the effect of (paraphrased) "all the commentators thought his game was lost, until he found this brilliant queen move up one square idea that blew everyone away". Finally here it is!!!
Thank you, agadmator!
The game looks so lost that it is actually winning.
I have never seen such a final position, where all the winner's pieces are still on the 2 back rows. Plus the winner has one peace less. Magic.
if bobby didn't born Chess wouldn't be the same, what a genius..
Byrne is pronounced "Burn". It's a surname of Irish origin, Americans second largest demographic at 40m direct descendants living in the US. Germany is #1.
The most boring video from you since 5 years ago
OMG this is Anand Immortal game against Aronian Again …. when the bishop pair goes to the long diagonals even the white qeeen and rook are insufficient ….
I think Women's day is DEATH ANNIVERSARY of Capablanca…not Birth Day, ain't it? B'day is Nov 19th
Actually, Agadmator sells Robert Byrne short. He was known to be a brilliant player in his own right. I grew up reading about him. He wasn't just the foil of the brilliant Bobby Fischer.
One of Fischer's greatest games! A note on pronunciation: Byrne sounds like "burn" in American English.
Robert BAYERN-Munich? 🙄
Sorry, Agadmator, it's pronounced "b u r n". It's an Irish name, and my mother's maiden name. Happy Birthday Bobby !
I'm a simple man, I see a Bobby Fischer agadmator video, I watch it.
Byrne pronounced 'Burn' just a heads up…
Every time I come back to this game, my reaction is always the same: 'What happened?' Everything looks so good for White. Then everything falls apart…
Capablanca's birthday is actually 19 of november
By the way, the name Byrne is pronounced Burn. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGHZnN5Enfw English can be like that.
It is pronounced 'burn'
Byrne is pronounced as 'burn' as in 'burn the cakes'. Just to increase your wonderful knowledge. 😉
For the record, Byrne is pronounced like the word "burn".
Fischers games are the stuff of wizardry.
The difference between Fischer and Tal:
Chess critiques: Your brilliant game is actually flawed, because if your opponent played Rad1 instead of Rfd1, then 475 move line and then your position is lost.
Fischer: Yes, but I could rather play 5638 move line and I would have an advantage after that
Same comment on Tal's game
Tal: Maybe, but he didn't play Rfd1.
ah, so the chess engines learned the best moves to play by learning the best moves from Fisher… now its starting to make sense!
Video starts at 13:52
Capa died on the 8th March. He was born in November.
Actually my favorite game of Fischer. Witchcraft!
Byrne is usually pronounced Burn
Hey @agadmator
Byrne is usually pronounced like 'Burn'. Just thought I'd share!
Donald Byrne had a rough tournament. Must feel crushing to play 11 rounds and not get a win.
Agad, not 100% sure if it's the case here but the surname Byrne is usually pronounced like the word "burn" not "bye-rn", search youtube for the actress Rose Byrne and verify for yourself.
Amazing game. Thanks so much.)
The Best Calculation I have ever seen – Fischer Supremacy
perfect 11/11 is just woow !!! i mean when was the last time we saw a domination like this, he did it many times as in the candidate beating professional players 5-0 , just wow!
Fischer is like “a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma”.
Nothing in this age of ‘engine moves’ comes even remotely close to the level of excitement that his games offered.
I like imagining that Irina Krush time traveled back to the 60s to kick some a$$!!!
Agad, "Byrne" is pronounced "burn".
Rf-d1 is the move most of us would also play to escape the bishop pin.
Only Morphy's opera game demonstrates the importance of development better than this one.
The media still tries to label Fischer as "insane" simply because he spoke the unspeakable truths. Same Marxist tactics we see them using daily today.
Not to be forgotten : Robert Byrne was chess columnist at New York Times during 34 years ! 🙂 and the current internet era provides an archive of some of its columns
Beautiful
