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 late 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.

Hi!
My name is Victor Neustroev. I'm a FIDE Master with Elo rating 2305.


Experienced chess coach specializing in tactics and openings. An author of educational chess courses on different learning platforms.

I'm 34. I live in Russia, Novosibirsk. I learned to play chess when I was 5. I regularly won prizes at Novosibirsk region Championship and Siberia Chess Championship among juniors. I'm a champion of Novosibirsk City Chess Club at 2002 and a champion of Novosibirsk at 2019.


I got Master's Degree in Economics at Novosibirsk State University and also played for its chess team.


Today I am focusing on teaching chess online and offline. The reason why I do this is because I feel happy when see how my students achieve success.

 

I teach juniors since 2002. Almost all of my students were ranked. Some of them got prizes at Novosibirsk region Championship.
I also work with adults.

 

I will teach you how to find tactical strikes in certain position types and how to classify them. I can help you to improve you calculational ability. I also teach you chess openings and I believe you know how important they are. According to the statistics right-playing of the opening makes from 30 to 60% of your success (the exact number depends on your level).
Please, check my youtube videos to know how I teach and what you will achieve working with me.
