I'm amazed that there isn't a single video of Bobby Fischer actually playing chess. I'm not talking about interviews or casual appearances, nor three-second clips in documentaries or on YouTube, but real games. It's not as if it were the 1800s; video recording existed!
It's surprising considering how famous he was and the fact that it was the 1960s/70s. I've looked everywhere, and all I can find are tiny three-second snippets. Surely there must be more somewhere?
Does anyone have any leads on where to find more substantial recordings of Fischer at the board? Do any longer recordings exist in private collections or archives?
Any information would be greatly appreciated! I'd be very grateful if anyone could shed some light on this and perhaps point me toward any resources where more substantial footage might exist.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
There are clips online, especially from the World Championship match. Probably not a whole lot beyond that though.
