It's no sign of mental health to be well-adjusted to a fundamentally sick society. I think Bobby had bad aim, and ironically bought propaganda instead of paying attention to the role of IQ, but did identify important trends that inform the global power structure.
But if your grandchildren are wondering in the future how things got this bad, you can remember that it became perfectly acceptable to treat intellectual and ethical consistency like a fairy tale.
Memory, theory , and the amount of each represents who usually wins.
He did what Kanye did in a sense he started blaming the Jews for the bad banking, funded war's, etc.. He was a very smart guy and saw the bad patterns in our government. The government shut him up. Just like he was used to butt heads with Russian chess players in his early career. Also maybe realised life is short mastered chess moved on try something else.
You Said top 3 and held up four fingers
He wasn't insane. The media just portrayed him as such because he got too close to the truth and wasn't shy about telling others.
This video was far more interesting and entertaining than the Pawn Sacrifice movie
It seems to me that he was always insane
worth noting that Spassky should have been the one acting out/ trash-talking like an entitled diva, considering his position in the Soviet chess machine, and taking into account of what was at stake during those times of intense political posturing between USA and USSR.
But no, he conducted himself like the true gentleman he obviously was. While quite certain Spassky studied Fischer's games and analyzed them intensively, it seemed like Spassky was also analyzing Fischer's psyche(like a thoughtful big brother trying to appease a younger brother who's throwing tantrums). Spassky may have lost the match, but he still came out a true winner.
there seems to be a sad trend amongst American chess geniuses. Two of Fischer's most sensational predecessors ended in tragedy: Morphy and Pillsbury both succumbed to insanity, with the former likely due to the same genetic component as Fischer's, and the latter succumbing to neurosyphilis. All three had meteoric ascents, but as with meteors, their brilliance and sparkle were notably brief.
Magnus Carlsen got beat by a cheat at 58 strait wins. 5 time World Champ was beat by Hans with a…beads
Magnus is better
The top ratings are SO TIGHT. The top 3 are literally off beating eachother by just a couple points
Wow they really put basically the best chess player in the 1900s in jail for being on tv in a communist country what bs
The youngest grandmaster now in the US is Hikaru Nakamura
he was right about one thing ruined the game
"hey, forty two here"
He didn't
Spassky was like a godddamn best friend, was willing to be jail with him and everything, need more ppl like him
Anyone know why Fischer was anti-semitic?
I think that Hitler eg., as a young man, was rejected from studying at an ART school he applied to, by a Jewish man. Allegedly.
He didn't go insane at all. He gave in to bitter hatred and fear.
Er Magnus Carslen?
17:47 wasnt there a war in yugoslavia in 1992?
Well he was an antisemitic idiot
3:20 How did the king move 3 squares?! And the pawn too!
Lol the line about Fischer's game being possibly the only time Chess is front page news definitely did not age well post Hans Niemann
In my estimation he was and is the greatest chess player of his epoch. To compare him with any of the great past and future grandmasters is unrealistic and an unattainable impossiiblity.
Bobby Fischer was right about the Jews
6:11 when there's a mutiny in the army
he acted like a cheater but i doubt he cheated however if he acted like that today people would accuse him
Amazing wins no coach no team no competition and super lucky..
Can we acknowledge what a beautiful gem of a human Boris Spassky was with the behaviours described here?
50 year old thoughty will make a video like this about Kanyes music genius xd
I'm better at chess
(Bobby is the youngest Grandmaster)
Hikaru : Am I a joke to you?
When I looked at the thumbnail, I was like
“it looks weird.. oh wait its racis-“
TRASH VIDEO cause he only read main stream articles, and never got the real story
video hasn't started yet but if you are about to talk about Bobby Fisher, and call him insane then IT IS YOU, that is insane. You must think you are smarter than Bobby, CLEARLY YOU ARE INSANE MATE. Did it ever occur to you that bobby was right???? NOPE CLEARLY NOT. not even going to watch this stupid video cause clearly you think you are smarter than Mr Fisher, but you are not, AND THAT CLEAR. whats your rating by the way? ever won a wolrd championship? didn't think. ALLLLLLLRIGHTY THEN. BYE BYE NOW 😉
the king moves 3 squares in the L animation
Not insane there is some truth to what he was speaking. Have you thought maybe we are all insane?
hes just based
Magnus is better
Fischer's IQ is, in today's terms, equal to 145-160
“Hey 42 here”?
Plot twist: he didn't.
Lmao funny how whenever someone starts noticing the patterns they say they're insane.

Stockfish 15 solos
his comments after 9/11 were unempathetic and stupid but politically accurate.. how was Bobby Fischer insane? This is the New World Order creating the narrative to keep people like Fisher eternally demonized
