Dear Chess Friends!

This is FM Viktor Neustroev and this is the second video devoted to the best player of all time. Who deserves this title? Please, let me know what you think. However, I choose 5 candidates who in my opinion deserve this title. They are:

1. Emanuel Lasker

2. Bobby Fischer

3. Garry Kasparov

4. Vishy Anand

5. Magnus Carlsen

Today I’ll tell you about Bobby Fischer (the most known American grandmaster). Is he the best chess player of all time? I’m sure many of you agree with this statement. However, before you take a final decision, let me introduce him and demonstrate the best game he ever played.

Bobby Fischer (his full name was Robert James Fischer) was an American chess grandmaster and the 11th World Chess Champion. Bobby Fischer was a phenomenon of his day. At age 14, he became the youngest ever U.S. Chess Champion, and at 15, he became both the youngest grandmaster (GM) up to that time and the youngest candidate for the World Championship.

Fischer won the World Chess Championship in 1972, defeating Boris Spassky of the USSR, in a match held in Reykjavík, Iceland. He was preparing for this match and even learned Russian to read chess books published in Soviet Union. That time all new chess books with contemporary theory were first released in Russian and, of course, only a few of them were translated to English.

In this video we are going to observe the game that Bobby played against Boris Spassky in their championship match.

In this video you learned about Bobby Fischer, American grandmaster, who can be considered as “The Best Player of all time” according to the opinions of several chess experts. I demonstrated the game that Bobby played against Boris Spassky. Thank you for watching and make sure to like this video, subscribe to my channel and share it with your friends - chess players.

I also would like to ask if you know what else Bobby Fischer designed for chess. Please, share your ideas into the comment section below this video! And find the answer later in my next video.

I hope you enjoyed this video and don’t miss the next one, where I’m going to present the next candidate – Garry Kasparov and demonstrate his second-best game.
