Champions Last Game: Boris Spassky vs Robert James Fischer

thanks for the video

Wow, so much money...

I'm sorry but this does not look like championship level play at all.

Chess players retire at 64

how true chess players retire at 64 ?

This is what chess players slightly better than average would have played like. champions have to play at a higher level than this,to be called champions,right?I thought their would be a killer move.Any way on top of that Iove these videos.

Well said

mato, i think you forgot Victor Korchnoi

Hi Mato! Congrats on your videos!. i really enjoy them. Question: Why did spassky move 21.Kf1 ?. I cant quite figure out his reasoning.

What is world wide church of God?

No I am not member of that. If I quoted scripture it is perhaps something that I read in the Bible.

Boris Spassky started with 1.d4 and we have reached critical moment of the game... :)

For all his Human weaknesses [and there were many] I will ALWAYS think warmly of Bobby Fischer. He helped me know that is Chess is not just a European but also an American Sport/Art Form. And he played this Game so Beautifully! For my money he was stronger than ALL his contemporaries by a much greater margin before or since his brief reign as World Champion. Thank you Mato. Thank you Bobby.

thanks... after watching your chess tutorials i think my chess playing has improved...

Thank you for your comment. I am glad that I have helped.

Wow that price money ! Didn't know you got so much in chess?

i dare say it was that church that helped lead Bobby astray, stupid armstrong and his church was bordering on criminal

the church in question Mato took most of Bobbys winnings after the Spassky match in 72 , they were simply no good , very very bad miss leading liars, sad story

very nice to see the moves played out Mato , Bobby will always be MY number one player , it was and still is disgraceful how the U.S.govt treated him for ................playing a game of chess , Bobby ALL THE WAY FOR ME

I am not here to debate religion,thats purely your opinion,not mine,it was that form of church that helped lead him astray ,for heavens sake he gave away his earnings to the stupid thing,later on he relised they were fake, it was PEOPLE that let him down NOT the fact he got out of that weird house of thieves,and i might also add he was definatly not lost as you infer,you should not assume you know when you dont .Thankyou

How was Fischer's play in his rematch with Spassky compared to his play in their first match? I've heard that Fischer played the same style which had become outdated, and those who analysed the games said they were not all that impressive. Any thoughts?

Fischer and Spassky didn't care about impressing anyone. They had fun and collected very easy money-$5000 000.

i admire the man ..a chess genius..but not in other things...but still im grateful for his great contribution to the game...

i see if fischer moved the rook to a1 then Ra8 there would be a fork

Money corrupts. Large sume of money corrupt absolutely. Spassky threw this game away. While Fischer was clearly the better player (the best of all time, although a Fischer-Morphy tournament would be well worth watching), Spassky didn't have his heart in this game, only his wallet.

From the dust you came and to the dust you shall return;
But it's not true, Mato. We come from the water. All life does. And that is all, :)

With a game like this, I'm sure if spassky kept playing fischer would have made a mistake soon

Mato, I am a big fan of your chess videos! It is interesting to note that prior to their 1992 match, Fischer had never played the King’s Indian Defense against Spassky because of the difficulties he has had against the Samisch Variation which Spassky likes to use. So this final game won by Fischer was especially interesting to see.

i choose not to die. you all can say hi to god and jesus. and still... i dont believe in those guys.

This game, poorly played, with premature attack by champion grandmaster Spassky shows he was suffering from health condition, especially kidney ailment.

One square one year ...

at that time why fischer didn't challenge Kasparov ??

Fischer : the best ever

It's a pity that Fischer-Karpov never happened . It would had been
a sensational match ...

sad story dawg...i hope he bustin bitchez in heaven now..rip

64 squares on the board. Fischer died aged 64. !?!?

way to go Bobby. he did it his way. RIP

if fischer were russian nobody would even know his name

i love this game

i am a nerd
