Does anyone else know nothing about chess and stumbled upon this video, and said, ah WTF I'll watch it?

I like how Burn didn't resign so that young Fischer's brilliant game was a completed masterpiece. Such were gentlemen back then.

I'm so glad that Byrne played the game through to the end. Decent of him.

After watching the entire video, I have come to the conclusion that I suck at chess.

He won the U S Open Chess Championship at age 13. That’s insane!

You should write a chess book, sir. You have a stellar way with words and craft beautiful narratives. I think most fans of your channel already know of this gorgeous game, but we all came here to enjoy your craftsmanship in retelling The Legend of a Boy Named Bobby.

that was the best chess game breakdown video i've ever watched (im just a casual). The way you explained everything visually and all the possible scenario's was flawless. You are a gift to the chess community comrade. Cheers

Today, I was bored. I don't watch chess content, but I used to play back in high school, so when this was randomly recommended to me, I decided to watch. I'd heard the name Bobby Fischer before, but I'd never seen any of his games.

Good god. When it comes to chess, I'm a novice at best, but even I understand that I have just witnessed greatness in this game. The fact that even his opponent understood in the moment that he was witnessing a genius at work, and decided to play the game out to checkmate instead of resigning really shows just how incredible this game was.

Well done on this video!

I love watching these chess breakdowns, but all it really confirms for me is that I will never be any good at chess.

Great commentary. The right mix of concision and analysis. Thanks.

I love that Burn could have resigned but opted to let Bobby have his time in the spotlight, recognizing the brilliance of a mind do rarely seen that it’s a once in a lifetime deal, and that’s if the mind is fortunate enough to find its calling which isn’t a guarantee.

I have no clue of everything you said, but I just had to listen to the game of the century. Fascinating stuff.

Bro.. I don't know that much about Chess, I'm a GO player, but good grief.. I will subscribe just for you... What a way with lingo, I loved "Brutal move" etc...very refreshing to hear someone express themselves so well with such depth of knowledge. You make these games as large as life itself. Peace out from TX.

Fischer often criticized chess for becoming too reliant on memorization, not creativity. His 2006 quote, "Now chess is completely dead," captures this frustration well. Memorizing chess moves does not show super intelligence, but rather great memory and practice. That is why computers can beat any person alive today or who ever lived. The computer can memorize more.

Fantastic game and ditto narration. Thanks a lot for this chess treat.

i think donald byrne knew how good bobby could be and really tested him here. and when he found out he was even better than he thought he allowed young bobby to have an immortal game. classy individual and great player.

Actually, Bobby getting out of a hopeless position is quite inspiring, showing that it's not over, if you keep pressing, and have nothing left to lose by being unconventional.

23:15 "This was not just another prodigy." Yeah, he wasn't one of these run-of-the-mill chess prodigies...
