You've just got to appreciate the sport of chess, where old games are just as fresh as new games. A good game never gets old.

The word "superb" is not adequate to describe the high quality of your commentary. I wonder how much time it takes for you to prepare your super-instructive lectures.

Thank you for playing this homage to Boris who in a gallant display of great chess and sportsmanship continues to give us the joy of watching Fisher shine as a star for ever. RIP Spasski.

I don't play chess, and I haven't been interested in chess in my 60 years, but you've compelled me to understand a little and appreciate a lot. Thank you!

Spassky was (is) a gentleman.

19 years old in the USAF and the entire Radar station in Charleston ME was totally involved, Bobby F. was an AMERICAN and the was our HERO during the cold war.

I remember those Fischer Spassky days. I was in the 6th Form at the time. Everyone knew the games wrre pretty heady stuff but in the absense of an internet, readily-assimilable expert commentary was non existant. I have had to wait the best part of five decades for this video. Many thanks.

Love Fisher's games
When chess engines were in their infancy
And humans were actually playing chess
Quite the commentary; 'Elmer the E-pawn!!'

I agree with Vishy. Fischer was the greatest player in history. Didn't even think for a second before he said Fischer was greater than Magnus. And he was.

I think Spassky’s sportsmanship showed his love for the game.

Very good analysis! Boris Spassky was a gentleman! He also was a great family man.

A great game ? No, a very very great game ! The acute description of this awful fight is really a model ! Listening to the explanations is a real pleasure even for a French player ! Thanks a lot for this superb moment !

I was 14 when this game was played. Although I was aware of its importance, I only realized why it's regarded as a great game after watching your video. Thank you.

Excellent choice of games to showcase. There was no exaggeration in your opening comments

@EugenioTOSONI 1 year ago

I am French and I want to thank you very much for the quality of your pronunciation that makes it very easy to understand you. Beside of that, I appreciate a lot the quality of your comments. Keep going 🎉

You may have already mentioned at some point in the commentary, but as I recall, this game was actually called “the applause“.

@johnmarlin7269 1 year ago

Great video, thanks. I was 14 when this game was played and camping in the Rockies with my family. I brought along my board and set and insisted on going to town every day for a newspaper that had the game score. Good memories.
