    1 more time show the chess piece pyramid, < that was my only complaint. This was so interesting and you had good timing and background on the whole story as always. Love Chess history <3

    um why is the thumbnail a white knight to a black knight????????????????????????

    Damn! Chess has so many gosh darn rules. Dag nabbit! That's why I love checkers and Stratego. That way I can drink more beer 🍻 heh heh, yes yes yes. Can you imagine watching Bobby Fisher play on live TV? Then in middle of the game he puts on a John McEnroe pissy fit tantrum. Hell, I'll laugh my ass off!

    His mother is Jewish and he hates Jews? This man copying hitler

    Chess, yeah. The game that reminds me that my worst trait, is my lack of attention/planning

    BRO HIM BEING AHEAD OF HIS TIME DOESN’T MEAN HE WAS BETTER THAN MAGNUS MAGNUS IS A WHOLE 100 POINTS ABOVE WHERE HE WAS

    Well for one thing he was right computers would kill chess as many top players have been caught cheating even the famous butt beads one and chess online is lost everyone using AI to win.

    The title: "why did the best chess player go insane?"
    The video: "he didn't, he was just always like that"

    Holy shit, Boris was based as all hell

    “Setting aside the controversy” lmao no rest in piss 💕

    Is queens gambit loosely based on this or nah?

    A movie needs to be made about this man, or at least an anime

    Bro brasky is like we are bff thats why im joining him in his cell and play a game of chess

    He didnt say terrible things you prick, he was a true man, a man of justice and loyalty! He will live forever!

    Intelligent and Insanity are on a similar scale.

    Congrats on making animation for a 15 minute video

    what if the world is indeed run by an evil jewish conspiracy just like what he said? he could just know something we don't know.

    My man understood the real world and people call him crazy and mentally ill lol.

    Bobby: Strat-9.5/10
    Defence-9/10
    ……….
    Trash talk-100/10
    XD

    spassky the mvp of this story tbh. bro is a true sportsman

    Magnus Carlson over here just being like hey what about me?

    I'm surprised that Fischer didn't see through the charade that was 7-11 an inside part time job.

    The thing is Fischer( a Jew) didn't "go insane" . He correctly calls out the Zionist Judeo Masonic banking cartel that rules the US and wants to control the world.

    I thought this story was about how chess champion turned insane due to being beaten by AI repeatedly

    I know this may sound bad but I really felt bad for the dude he said the worst of things and had bad actions I feel it wasn't his fault, he was literally driven crazy being neglected and lacking human interaction would cause any human to go insane and he did.

    3:19 thATS NOT HOW THE KNGITH THE MOVES THATGS NOT JDSHFKJLDSHFKJDSLHVLKJDSBV

    What if fisher was just a little lucky (paired with some skill) and felt all the records he got were for some delusional reason?

    Like he was the only one who didnt feel he deserved it, but everyone analyzed his games as if he was some prodigy.

    I was delusional at some point. Thinking people were reading my mind and acting accordingly. Be careful with praise, but still give credit whete credit is due.

    At least thats a possibility if you askin me

    One of my friends who’s in 8th grade. Beat 9 international masters in a tournament

    Boris Spassky is a great man, he was a true gentleman and treated bobby like a friend of some sorts

    "He just played with himself, not like that"
    😂😂⚰️

    Correction, magnus Carlsen current world best chess player has a 125 classic chess win streak

    Spassky should have just let him forfeit. The big baby was just going to flush it all away at some point regardless.

    I don't think he lost his mind at all. I mean ffs they took everything from him for the crime of playing a chess match…maybe a system that would do that is insane.

    The irony where all of his 'insanity' came to be true.

    It's always been understood that there's a fine line between genius and insanity

    Mistake in the video: Fisher is not the youngest GM anymore. There are many who got the title aged 12 or 13
