Bobby was 15-16 here, and Gligoric twenty years older.

The 15yo Bobby taking on one of the greats with black. With no army of trainers behind him he was the best ever IMOHO.

I'm astonished! In my opinion, your channel is one of the best Youtube chess channels, and the way you present/illustrate the games, is very interesting, though the number of the channel subscribers are far less than others!

The usual excellent presentation of a game I can study intently late at night with my cocoa and Oreos - lots to learn here.
But I am spoiled - I like it better when Bobby WINS! 😊

That was cool.

@Steveross2851 2 years ago

This was certainly quite a memorable game with some really cool play but it shows that in 1959 (and perhaps still in 2024) even super Grandmasters had (and maybe still have) a lot to learn about engames! One would think players as strong as Gligorich and Fischer were at the time would have known this endgame cold but it was not the case.
