    Nice video. Minor niggle – USSR != Russia though.

    Honestly this is just all bunch of crap..never seen,never done, biggest genius..yes he was one of the greatest however it definitely has been done by others – Morphy, Tal, Kasparov..all of them were just as impressive as Fisher. And for the biggest genius – thats not even remotely close, its Carlsen and by a huge margin to the point of Fisher probably not being able to win a single classical game if they played nowdays. The elo difference isnt very relevant, as in modern era Fisher would likely not break 2700 elo. If we go by this criteria of elo difference Paul Morphy was around 200 or 300 elo above his era, again making Fisher not the greatest. I dont think making Fisher this inhuman hero for the purpose of this fairytale video does benefit anyone. Why not tell his story of a world champion and an amazing player becoming a mad man without all the fantasy and fiction.

    His inner child was getting sick and tired of staring at squares so he goes to the big guy,, yo god.. I can't do it anymore,, happens to anyone that loses their spirit hence the ten commandments. They're there for a reason. Keep your ghost close and grab a glass of water no ice once in a while

    Poor Spasky 🤣🤣🤣.He was even willing to go to prision just for a rematch.

    My favorite part of the video was when he said Why the World’s Best Chess Player Go Insane
    Edit: I hate clickbait

    All of that graphic work for the simuls, the boards are set up wrong. White square not on the right.

    props to Spassky, dude was a legend too.

    Wonder if he had autism. Savant. With that total fixation

    Fisher invented new game : FISHER RANDOM – true measure of chess player’s strength.

    I hope this doesn't happen to the new best player in the world. I want to keep on watching his insane chess games.
    You're my role model StockFish 15.1

    I would love to see a movie about this.. incredible story!

    About the winng streak Magnus Carlson holds the biggest number of winning streak in the history of 125 unlost games

    Please remove this video. I reported it once for false news and slander and I hope anyone else who reads this takes the time to do the same. You have no tangible right to claim Fischer "went insane." This entire thing is a fake pseudo-psychological analysis of a famous eccentric. The very fact that this video exists validates Fischer's remarks that people have always been trying to tear him down, which was never a delusion, but a reality. Fischer's mother had an official file with the CIA as she was a known communist sympathizer, and these people actually approached Fischer as a kid. Honestly, read a fucking book. I've read every major Fischer book that's out. Listen to Fischer's later interviews when he was an old man. Everything he says is stated with logic and common sense, about his life or politics otherwise. An actual psychologist who knew Fischer personally speculated that Fischer was definitely not schizophrenic and likely had no major disorders. Please, remove this disgusting video and read a book. All you're doing is using Fischer's name to garner Youtube views by way of slander, which is, SHOCKER, exactly what Fischer had been complaining about for decades already. You're disgusting for continuing that trend.

    Spassky is a gigachad. A good sport, humble, and offered to be imprisoned to play a game with his rival.

    Bobby Fischer is another Kanye West lost due to society canceling free speech and social media making them evil

    Why is it always the smart People who are antisemitic?

    Heyyyy, forty two here.
    Me- (reads channel name) what?

    His mom abonding him affected him obviously but I think he was also probably on the spectrum (austistic) for some cases not all though like not liking the cameras and stuff

    I found this video looking up Magnus Carlson and now I'm confused.

    Now that its over, I see that the title is rhetoric rather than suggesting an indepth assessment of his madness. Schade.

    "There is no Genius that is not tempered by depravity, in some form or other…. Such is the unfortunate tendency of the Universe towards balance."- C. Kitz

    If he didn't mess up a lot of his matches, i wonder what his rating would've been.

    Bobby Fischer could've been the first person in history to reach 4000+ Rank

    Given what happened with Hans, dude wasn't that far off with the computer rant. Given what the world banks have done he wasn't too far off on that also.

    He was not wrong about the fact that a specific Jooish (I know how to spell it, but YouTube removes the comment if it's spelt correctly) group/family or whatever you want to call it is controlling the world.

    Ain't if 'funny' how a devotion to an idea to be the best, is called 'being insane'. But if you're a member of THE CULT, they call themselves, 'god's' chosen people.
    Ya know the difference between a Religion and a CULT? A religion helps people and use 'god' as the reason. A CULT kills people, and uses 'god' as THEIR EXCUSE.
    Ya know the difference between a Patriot and and TRAITOR? One obeys the Constitution, the other obeys THEIR "GOD". no that that 'god'. THE CULT obeys the 'god' THEY INVENTED. Read the USA Constitution that stands for freedom, and JUSTICE for ALL.
    The talmud stands for freedom for JUST-US-JEWS.
    If Bobby FIscher is anti-semitic, then he's an American Patriot.
    Joe Magnets

    Paul Morphy had a higher ratings gap vs the opposition than Fischer

    It doesn't sound like he went crazy. It sounds like he just had no patience for bullshit.

    Fischer is the goat, if he lived in todays time with todays technologies. Or Magnus lived in the 60s with the 60s technologies, Fischer would’ve destroyed Carlsen
