    Who would of won out of him and Carlson thoughts?

    He didn't go insane. He simply told the truth about the synagogue of satan

    We all need a friend like Boris spaskey
    Bro even became an inmate for Fischer

    It sounds so Germanisch to me 😅 they were probably from Deutsch Lands

    This sadly didn't mention enough about his later years. You make him look worse than he was.

    Probably because he saw the thumbnail on this video 🤣😅

    Was Spasky in love with Fisher …being his nemisis Spasky really tried to be his friend

    Man, why did the WORLD go insane?

    Fischer's achievements, heightened with unnecessary moralistic drivel.

    ((((They)))) can call you a crazy but can't call you a liar

    He was already crazy, it was just tolerated for as long as it served political purpose

    Bro is secretly a weeb, setting rules that looks like some anime plot and then living in Japan😂

    I don't know, if a genius with an IQ of 187 has strong opinions about a race of people maybe he's right. :eyes: Just look at what happened to Kanye. If a guy who has a mind that can see 500 moves beyond everyone else on a Chess board thinks the Jews run the US then hey, maybe they do.

    Funny thing is magnus carlsen got a 125 streak

    Listen to the Behind the bastards episodes on him. He was always an awful person and arguably not that great at chess

    people really just be saying incorrect things

    Did anyone notice at 3:15 it showed the king move across the board? Just me?

    no disrespect, but this guy seems like a bit of a c*nt

    He didn't "go insane." He just faced mental exhaustion and couldn't handle it anymore. Being far more intelligent than the rest of one's peers is a double edge blade, especially when you start becoming intimately aware of the real power structure in the world and how it operates.

    It is only more tiresome when the rest of the world ignores or mocks these revelations despite them being true. There is nothing more isolating than that. One feels trapped by all the knowledge they know because they're unable to do anything about it. They understand that any attempt of them trying to will just make them a social pariah. What you end up with is an individual who is mentally scarred with having these revelations and no way of convincing a critical mass to realize it so something can be done about it.

    I always find it humorously contradicting when someone is able to simultaneously acknowledge another's IQ being significantly higher than their own yet still has the nerve to question that person's "controversial" beliefs or statements. It is more likely that this person's "controversial" beliefs or statements have a lot of merit to them and the critics who say otherwise are either too dumb to recognize this for themselves or too scared to figure it out.

    You didn't actually answer the question you've stated in the name of the video

    Sounds more like he went sane and starting noticing patterns

    Magnus has won almost 200 classical games in a row

    Damn….. bro didn't get to play Sonic Unleashed! 💀

    he was crazy bout jews apparently…

    He was garbage. A Nazis and he only look good because we had sucked at Chess for so long. False — there are way better players now. Literally some of the greatest chess players are alive today. He was literally a Nazis why are you celebrating this loser. He was not very smart either.

    That's the reason chess engine "stock fish" got its name from..

    Who gives a shit about mean things he said lmao

    “Took out a cease and desist letter from his own country and spat on it”

    Based.

    Also… was anti-semite despite his mother being Jewish? More likely because

    By the looks on the thumbnail he is on psychadelics and just fine…

    Magnus Carlson casually winning 125 games in a row in 2019

    “He just played with him self”
    He’s just like me

    The thumbnail added a much different message to the video with the different colored chess pieces

    Absolutely insane scores that is true, chess being such a game of give and take makes that near impossible.
    Mental gymnastics. I think that covers what chess demands from beginner to master.
    So he was Jewish ancestry and is a anti semite? Ok.

    Spassky was basically Fischer's biggest fan

    Perfect example of countries may fight but sports can take friendship to different levels

    The Fischer animation walking away flipping the bird made me laugh.

    My favorite example of how, for some reason, genius is so often accompanied by madness.
