  1. Fischer said "Oh no my queen!"

  2. Thanks, this style of teaching is more useful to me.
    Rob.

  3. 6:43 This is not a sac of a full queen, as White takes a knight before and a rook afterwards.

  4. … Be6 by black would have been stronger?

  5. Damn what a beautiful game.

  6. Trade offer!
    You receive: My queen
    I receive: Match win

  8. Excellent instruction using an excellent game played by an excellent chess player!!! Thank you, sir!!!😇

  9. Why do the African's call it chest?

  11. If i was there in endgame i will not put my knight to a6 as black instead of that i will put my Queen to d4

  12. The thumbnail has me weak😂

  14. I don’t understand how it ended. Did it end with the checkmate he showed? He said that was just an example.

  15. in 6:23 what if bishop take pawn f7 and check (if knight take, queen take rook check mate)..
    if king take bishop f7, knight g5 check.. if king move to f8, bishop to d6 check force black king to g8, then queen take rook e8 check mate
    sorry if I'm wrong I am newbie to chess..

  16. I recently found your channel, Excellent teaching Easy to understand.

  17. if i ever had the honor to play with fischer, and he, all of a sudden, sacrificed his queen, i would resign immediately 🙂

  18. Chess teachers tell us that doubled and isolated pawns are bad, so we should avoid them, and create them for our opponents if we can. But at 3:00 you disparage BxN because "black doesn't get anything in return", not even acknowledging that that move created both doubled pawns and an isolated pawn for white. That seems like black got *something*, according to what we normally hear from teachers. Yes, in this case the trade was wrong, but you didn't address how and why this case is contrary to normal advice. It's really hard for us novices to learn when we hear mixed messages about how we should play.
