Bobby will always be the best. Miss you, Bobby.
Fisher died at 64 there’s 64 squares on a chess Bored how ironic
He didn’t go insane. He went sane.
Bobby ended up hating chess for its "opening theory", where move after move from the start of the game by each player had been carefully planned beforehand and committed to memory. In his eyes, he'd rather figure things out more as he went, as this was a better test of true skill, rather than simply memorize and play the "best moves". Thus, he created Chess960, also called Fischer Random. In this format, the 8 pieces on the back rank, which are the 2 rooks, 2 knights, 2 bishops, 1 queen, and 1 king, begin in random positions on the back rank. There are 960 possible combinations of ordering the pieces this way, so as to prevent players from memorizing the best moves and to encourage creativity and unique games.
Kanye
Everything he said is truth
Gotta appreciate to Soviet player
He didnt
who decides that he has gone insane? he dident, he stood up for his values, that is insanity for some
He started noticing “coincidences” that you are not allowed to notice even if you are a world renowned genius.
Messi 🐐
what the heck is hilter doing in there 1:02
There is little doubt in my mind that Fisher was the best chess player of all time for numerous reasons. He was doing it all before the assistance of computers, he was remarkably innovative, and all the current GMs are working in a context in which computers have worked out most of the possibilities.
maybe having a high IQ just means that ur more likely to go nuts
"By the end of his life, Fischer was convinced the world was run by an evil Jewish cospiracy…"
That's the comment that makes him crazy? Jews have overwhelming influence in Hollywood, the media, the porn industry, trans activist groups, BLM, the list goes on. This is all public information, just look up the owners and/or the top level execs of these companies and organizations. Oh, and they're overrepresented by 1500% in the presidential cabinet.
Really great subject, narrated excellent thanks baz uk.
He was right about the group controlling the 🌍, no wonder they branded him as insane
heyyy forty too hea
You have no clue about Bobby Fischer, don't go promoting nonsense.
Who wins peak Bobby or peak magnus
So he was sane when white but crazy when black. Wtf is your thumbnail
He was NOT insane. His jailing was absolutely unjust. As for his other opinions, listen to the man’s logic before judging him. What he says is rather difficult to refute.
Have you ever considered that he’s was just always right? Definitely not insane.
Bobby Fisher, the greatest of all,
A chess master, standing tall,
His mind was sharp, his moves precise,
He played with grace and great device.
He dominated the board with ease,
His opponents couldn't find a way to please,
With every move, he thought ahead,
A true master, he was, it was said.
But alas, his time did come to an end,
He died at 64, his life did rend,
But his legacy lives on, forever strong,
In the hearts of chess players, where he belongs.
And as we remember him, we can't help but see,
The 64 spaces on the board, a memory,
Of the greatest chess player to ever live,
Bobby Fisher, we will always give
he lost to Mikhail Tal so I dont think he is the best
Really love the video. Anything covering Fischer intrigues me and you did it very well. But my biggest takeaway is the image of ya holding up 4 fingers while saying Top 3.
He was a man who was betrayed by his country and was not mentally stable, Fischer was not a real anti Semite, and was all for women in chess, don't hold his quotes at the decline of his mental health against him
9 months later magnus has won his 6th world chess championship
He didnt go insane.He most probably had aspergers.People who have this condition need understanding. Please stop using the word insane
3:40 ????????????????
magnus is the best chess player
shoutout to the british banker
My dads name is Kenneth James fisher lol
On his mental health issues I think a strong case can be made for OCD And BPD. They are both nasty struggles, I have the first and I wouldnt envy anyone with both.
11:20 Fabiano Cauranna won seven games in a row in 2014 and it was considered a miraculous and unrepeatable achievement. But for perspective, Fischer had a 20 game winning streak twice in his life. Not just one.
Spassky the Truth. That guy is the shit.
Did Fischer really "go insane"?
Or did Bob just seem to be insane because he abandoned all contact with the corrupt insanity of a political world still very much controlled from the City of London…
i do not think the way u said reykjavík was the best: ok i checked and u said it right but in ours its different
Uh genius hasn't been seen since in chess? Kasparov was more dominant for a longer period of time… And Magnus Carlsen might challenge Kasparov..
Magnus destroys him😂😂😂😂
Because you don't understand why he says or does things that he does, doesn't mean that it's bad. Different perspective, mate 😉
20:10 all the people that taught the same were dead or were in big trouble. we can see it every day but we ignore the obvious. i am not saying that we should do what hitler done but think about it is it really all of it coincidence.
he didnt go insane. ur just too ignorant or scared to say what he did publicly
That's interesting that he thought the world is being ran by maniacle Jews.
Now that I think about it.
I would like to applaud this HERO for standing up for TRUTHS.
That word gets thrown around way too much. I've seen interviews with him from his later years and he seemed quite cogent. He did harbor some extremely unpopular political views, and I wouldn't want him serving on my city council, but I really doubt that he was insane.
As a chess player its is possible to go insane
When Magnus Carlson sees this
"Went insane, or always was?"
Lol, the white man has the mental illness card played again.
all that for magnus do obliritate
