Bobby Fischer Reveals a Principle That Can Win You Many Games!

I need to say something this is a very complicated game and uh very interesting very entertaining game and while we cannot hope to uh replicate the quality of play of the great Bobby fiser there comes a moment of incredible uh profundity in this game just absolute Clarity of understanding that if we actually go through this we can learn this idea and implement it into our own games I encourage you to do that now you could skip ahead to this perfect move this perfect idea of Fisher if you want but I would encourage you to watch all the way through so that when it arrives you really feel the impact of its Brilliance and then you can Implement ideas like this into your own play the game was played in a match between Berlin and the United States Bobby fer had white his opponent was clouse darga who by my research is actually still alive and turns 90 next month so happy birthday to Grandmaster Dara uh let us Begin fiser Again had white he played E4 and uh Grandmaster Dara he played E6 the French defense D4 D5 Knight C3 and Bishop to B4 again we get a Winward uh French which is a rule breaking opening in many ways black will often exchange off what really seems to be his best minor piece is dark squared Bishop in an attempt to give some Pawn structure damage to white but there's also quite a bit more going on and a lot of unclear themes Fisher had trouble with this line E5 gaining space C5 black attacks the base of White's Pawn chain and A3 in a game against tall that we also covered tall actually played Bishop to A5 here The Grandmaster Dara plays the more standard Bishop takes Knight check and after Pawn takes you can see the uh the pawn structure Damage Done to White's position uh but again black is missing that very nice dark squared Bishop but black has a sneakier plan here which we will see as the the game unfolds Knight to E7 and the main move for white usually is Queen to G4 immediately attacking the G7 Pawn after Queen to C7 we get what is known as the winter War poison Pawn system where basically black goes after White's King which has a hard time to find safety but white in return has two Bishops and an H Pawn and that's usually the Dynamics at play there but Fisher plays A4 which is a more positional approach basically he's making room for this bishop at C1 to go to A3 and place itself on this very nice A3 f8 diagonal control those dark squares which have now been forfeited by black because he gave up his dark Square Bishop that's the idea Queen to C7 putting pressure down the C file Knight F3 and B6 we know in the French defense Black's light squared Bishop is often a problem piece so he wants to play Bishop to A6 to trade it off for White's nice light squared Bishop white doesn't want to do that so fiser plays Bishop to B5 check first if darg defends with the Knight then he would no longer be able to support a bishop on A6 so he goes ahead and plays Bishop to D7 and now the bishop retreats to D3 and of course black can no longer exchange off that light squared Bishop Knight B to C6 put some pressure on D4 castling and here black makes a very big decision castling is a little dangerous here this Greek gift sacrifice is a very risky for black after a few moves you can see computers just think white is crushing here and no doubt he is uh but it would take forever to analyze it all but it's too risky so Dara plays this move C4 kicking the bishop back to E2 and he complet completely locks up the center now sometimes when we see a locked Center we think oh that's going to be a slow maneuvering game but actually what black has in mind in the win is an attacking concept he wants to take his King and maybe bring it to safety on the Queen's side and then just attack with these King side pawns uh White's King so this is even though it looks like a maneuvering position It's actually an attacking concept from black so uh and long castling would actually been a perfectly good move here he could have played King to B7 but inste he plays F6 immediately going after this Pawn structure now attacking the front of the pawn chain Bishop to A3 fiser finally does place that Bishop on that very nice diagonal of course the D6 square is very sensitive uh a beautiful Bishop on A3 uh black takes on E5 Pawn takes on E5 um it would after castling the Knight to D4 and the potential of playing the pawn to F4 and white would get a nice bind on the king side so instead black goes ahead and takes that pawn at E5 uh if Bishop takes E7 yes it would take away Black's castling privileges the problem is after Rook to E1 let's say Knight C6 black would just play The Rook at A8 to f8 and the king would still be able to tuck back and be uh and be safe so instead fiser plays Rook to E1 putting that Rook on that e file opposite the king and also this vulnerable E6 Pawn uh Knight 7 to C6 was played now this is one of those positions where Modern computers see stuff that humans almost impossible for them to see uh here Knight five to C6 was actually the right move uh and the reason is it that keeps this Knight on F3 and the bishop can't deliver a check on H5 that actually causes some trouble for black as we'll see here uh in a minute after Knight G5 Castle Bishop G4 again trying to attack E6 with everything uh after Rook to F6 white is a little bit better but uh after exchanges black is almost equal uh but Knight s to C6 was played Knight takes E5 Knight takes E5 and here Fischer could have played this move Bishop to H5 check and it's strong for this reason after G6 blocking the check and attacking the bishop Queen to D 4 is very strong because it pins the Knight to this Rook at h8 and uh after Pawn takes Bishop Rook takes black has a complete bind on the dark squares I mean just look at this this is crazy and even ideas of Queen to H4 Queen to threatening M on E7 The Rook at A1 comes to E1 and uh White is really dominating in this position what fiser play does make a lot of sense he plays F4 the idea is again to maybe play F5 and open up the E Line aiming directly at the king the Knight goes to C6 and now Bishop to G4 attacking E6 Fisher thought Bishop H5 was actually uh maybe a better option here than the movie played in the game but as it turns out again computer analysis shows that uh this really isn't any better because of Rook H to E8 uh and here in a complex position it's fairly equal so Fischer's instincts served him well in the game Bishop to G4 directly attacking the uh the e six Pawn long castling taking on E6 and here again black should play Rook H to E8 to keep you get get that last piece involved in the game um after Bishop takes D5 Queen F4 uh computer say this messy position is still uh still equal but K Claus Dara plays the move Bishop takes E6 uh natural enough but after Rook E6 Fischer actually has a very powerful ful position the idea of the queen can go to F3 the pawn to F5 The Rook can shift over and double on the E file Rook to D7 was played by black and now F5 and Knight to d8 was played by darg now and this is an idea that Fischer did Miss in my 60 memorable games um he can actually leave The Rook there if he wants uh the move Queen to F3 turns out to be quite strong and if Knight takes Rook Pawn takes Knight you see this bishop on A3 combined with this Pawn at E6 is very dangerous for black there's really nothing if he goes to E7 obviously the the bishop can take the rook and the pawn at D5 is hanging if he just moves The Rook back then E7 and uh the combination of this bishop and this Pawn are really hard to deal with Rook d8 Queen takes D5 and white is doing very very well but fiser instead Retreats The Rook Queen to F4 hits the rook and the pawn at F5 so Rook F3 covers The Rook as well as the pawn queen to E4 and now fiser begins to eye Black's King on C8 how is he going to get at that King uh he plays A5 attempting to open lines and this is a critical moment for black he should have played B5 trying to keep these a and b files as closed as he possibly can uh but instead he plays Knight to C6 fiser takes on B6 and even still here even at the cost of a pawn the move uh excuse me A5 continuing to keep these files blocked was probably the best choice available to him but instead he plays AB B6 and now this open a file for The Rook is quite strong Fischer plays Queen to B1 a very powerful move you know he only has these two files to deal with it's a very narrow area of attack but it's still a very dangerous attack even with just those two files to work with and uh here if King to B7 Bishop to C5 taking advantage of the pin down the B file if uh Rook to B7 then Bishop D6 Rook d8 Bishop to G3 and we see a very strong position this bishop controlling key squares white is winning there so instead CLA Dara plays King to C7 it doesn't allow the pin on the B uh pawn and also the bishop doesn't have access to D6 so this is a very important point in the game this is the point where fiser makes what I would call really a perfect rule a perfect move and he follows a rule that has it's it's named after a aeran chess player named makov it's called makagon off's Rule and the rule is this that if you can't find a plan or even if you you can you should always consider improving the position of your worst placed piece now it's somewhat ironic that this bishop on A3 which was the best placed piece during most of the game really uh is now White's worst placed piece because there are no targets anymore on this diagonal definitely don't want to do that uh there no targets anymore on that diagonal so if you were to just pick up that piece and place it anywhere on the board not not worried about the rules of of Peace movement you just pick it up and put it anywhere where would you put it and if you answer that question you can see exactly how to improve the worst place piece and this is something you can always Implement in your games you know just take your worst placed piece where does this piece belong and then whatever it takes to get it there you do so and this case it involves a very interesting idea now I'm going to reveal the move now uh it involves a retreating move Bishop to C1 very powerful idea the bishop aims at F4 four and that's it that one retreating move the game is over black is done that Bishop coming to F4 is already completely decisive Queen to E1 check was played by Dara Rook to F1 of course blocks that he takes the pawn at C3 but now Bishop to F4 check King to B7 and queen to B5 the threat is Queen to A6 check mate because the bishop and the queen would crisscross and create a perfect mating pattern after Queen to A6 would be Checkmate uh we can look at some defensive possibilities if Rook to A8 you just exchange those then Queen to A6 check uh if he blocks with the Knight you just take threatening mate then you just check and this this leads to an eventual mate but White's already up a piece if he blocks with the Rook instead just Queen to C8 Knight takes it's Mateen that way um if Knight to B8 to keep the queen out of A6 then you just take the knight uh leaves The Rook hanging and of course if black were to retake with the other Rook it would actually be be a mate in that case and the only other thing black can even do is Queen to D4 check and after King to H1 the only way to stop anything is actually just give up his Queen with Queen to F4 so because of that after Queen to B5 CLA Dara resigned so the real lesson from this game for me is makano Rule which is always improve the position of your worst player based peace and that can help any of us even us lesser chess players become stronger I hope you enjoyed the game see you again soon at chess dog goodbye
