Bobby Fischer was the ultimate chess genius and Yaz is the ultimate chess instructor.

Fischer had 98.9% accuracy and Spassky had 97.4% accuracy. Ridiculous

Jesus Christ...This guy is so calm and so chill...I would love for him to be my mentor anyday :3 What a cool dude!!

“That’s one of the nice things we like to do as grandmasters is capture pawns for free...” YS is a gem.

These lectures by Yasser are pure gold. Thank you Yasser and St. Louis Chess Club.

Thank you so much for posting.

Bobby Fischer was an amazing chess player
He didn't play for two decades and beat Spassky beautifully

Very pleasant instructor! All smiles!

5 million dollars from 1975, would be worth 21.7 million dollars today (yes I'm sad enough to calculate this).
Just for anyone out there who was curious

Yasser is right. Bobby could break all records. But his way of perfection was:- Not to play.

The man, the myth, the legend .....Yasser Seriwan ...presenting another legends games.

Nice commentary as usual Yasser does!!

I love Yasser so much… he’s such a positive calming man

Increíble el juego de Fischer, sus planes a nivel estratégico y su visión táctica posicional son increíbles aún ahora.Sus partidas son modelos a seguir ya que contienen mucho contenido de interés práctico para el desarrollo de nuestro medio juego.Otra cosa no menos importante era su aplastante técnica en los finales, como dijo Kasparov una vez: cuando veo al Houdini en un final, es como si viera a Fischer.

Knife F5!

After Qe8 both sides have the Alekhine's Gun.... Spassy has the defensive one ;)

best game of bobby

Yes, Fischer using "Alekhine's gun" (18:18) is the correct generalization. But, why did Bobby specifically adapt it for such a crucial Ruy Lopez (gm. 1), after a 20 yr. layoff? Anybody? Well, Bobby felt Korchnoi would be his most dangerous opponent in such a match. He was as honest as his memory was prodigious. Bobby told me he'd once saved a lost game in Curacao, 1962 (Rd. 12) vs. Victor, who blundered away a clear win (move 32) yet, Bobby had so admired Korchnoi's ingenuity (using "Alekhine's gun") in an analogous position, he decided to try it on move 24 in this game...3 decades later! It is ironic that the 2 Soviet GM's Fischer felt were their best, most creative virtuosi, Boris & Victor, had to flee the USSR to asylum in France. Just FYI... Ciao, JC  (1st Cor 15:51-3)

Instead of "Nh7", if Boris wants to play f5, why not play Re7, Ne8, or Kh8, Ng8, Rf8 where he could then play Ne7 bringing his knight in the game, such as after exf5 Nxf5, or after exf5 gxf5. For example, one idea might be Rf8, Bh8, Ng7, and then after f5, you have: 1.exf5 gxf5 and then either 2. Nxf5 Nxf5 with ideas of maybe Nh4, so in case of Nxh4 you have Qxh4 which already looks dangerous, but then you can follow with ideas like Rf7, Nf8 and Bc8 with all kinds of threats, or Nf6, Re8, Bc8, with the idea of e4 and Nh4 Be8, or Nxe4, Be5
