    Find the truth b4 you say he was insane. He never was. Was set up and destroyed by foreign powers in his own country.

    I’ve never heard of Bobby Fischer before. So interesting and very impressive. ✨

    Great video by the way. 👌🏽

    How come mad geniuses always come to the conclusion that Jews are destroying our world

    Hey bro I'm sure you won't get this message but if you would do this is the real truth about chess in the history of Bobby Fischer vs. Magnus Carlsen! First and foremost Bobby Fischer taught himself he used books and studied and he used his brain! Magnus Carlsen he was brought up in an era where you used engines and computers and calculators to become and good. That's not skilled to me he used something that's far superior to catapult his mind without doing the work as Bobby Fischer did! Bobby Fischer put in the work by reading all the books spending hours and days! Where Magnus Carlsen just has a bunch of seconds thirds and fourths and a bunch of computers on running lines and that's all he's got to do it's all he's got to do it since very simple doesn't mean he's the greatest chess player player of all time he's actually the greatest engine user of all time haha

    Man… The most important thing I've learnt from this video.. Is that his opponent was such a cool dude and great friend

    So he was an asshole that was really good at chess. And he didnt go insane.

    The "one thing only" statement is entirely false. If you have aptitude in one area, you have the capability to perform at the highest levels of any human endeavour. I'd wager that's every human on the planet. Get out there

    Amazing Video! This is the first video of yours that I've ever watched, but the quality is so dope! You've gained a new subscriber!

    Hi- what software did you use to make the cartoon video section? Thanks!

    100% the soviets had something to do with this guys mental downfall.

    Is it really erratic and paranoiad if he got exiled from the usa? What did they exile him for?

    He was right about everything, especially his politics.

    Einstein never nearly understood gravity or time. Here's the proof. What is E=MC2 is taken directly from F=ma, AS TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY AND NECESSARILY proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE); AS the rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches the revolution. FACTS.

    Why do u put Bobby Fischer lol.. He's a legend but he's not in top 5 ..

    Bobby Fischer had a goal, and once he achieved it he didn't know what to do with himself. Similar in many ways to a previous world champion, Alexander Alekhine. And when Fischer said 'they' were out to get him he was right because the Soviet chess establishment was out to get him. Fischer wasn't insane by any means since he played grandmaster level chess twenty years later with Boris Spassky. And if being an anti-semite makes you insane then half of the members of the Republican party in the US are insane.

    Kanye where you at???
    We got someone for you to meet

    Imagine if this idiot made better choices and didn’t quit for 2 decades, he would’ve been even more of a goat

    Why does the guy wearing the glasses at 0:57 look so familiar

    The fact that IQ 180 Bobby Fischer joined a cult shows you just how everybody can be manipulated irrespective of intelligence

    I mean he isn't wrong on the whole conspiracy theory…

    He didn’t go insane, I don’t care what anyone says.

    He was definitely in the category of "elite talent, but unacceptable human". If Id met him on the street I'd have been gushing about his performance while actively beating the crap out of him for being a pathetic, psychopatic eugenics supporter…

    21:36 *outside of the top 3." holds up 4 fingers. 😕 😂

    He didn't go insane. He was just labelled insane by the media which is owned by the very people he rightly criticised.

    You can go insane anytime. Sometimes it's genetic. Sometimes it's external factors causing stress and unhealthy thinking patterns. I don't think chess made him crazy. I think it was his predisposition ( difficult childhood with no guidance) and exposure to many stressful events as a Star chess player.

    Guidance and support from parents as well as social support during tough times helps a lot. I think he had neither. So to deal with his unhappiness and stress he had to adopt mental attitudes which made him difficult.

    Nevertheless, despite all the things he said, he is a hero in some ways.

    Did he go republican? You coulda ended this in a second if he did

    Can I just say Barbara Streisand definitely didn't have a crush on him and just was looking for attention. That's all great video lmao.

    He wasn't insane, that's just what "they" labeled him for exposing the nose.

    I wish I had one thing to do, would make life much simpler!

    in the thumbnail: Man not crazy = white. crazy man = black.
    me: omg racist?1!
