Two weeks after Fischer's sensational 6-0 shutout streak in the Fischer - Taimanov Candidates Quarterfinal (1971), at Vancouver, he met at Temple Buell College, Denver, Colorado USA to play a 10-game candidates match against Bent Larsen starting on July 6, 1971. Larsen had qualified from the Larsen - Uhlmann Candidates Quarterfinal (1971). Fischer said to a reporter before the match: "Been traveling for a year, match to match. I need a personal life. I'm not as narrow as some people think, you know. But right now all I think of is the world championship. Chess is my whole life" ... "(Larsen)'s good. But I think I'm the best around. I don't say that to brag. I think it's true. I love the game - and I hate the Russians because they've almost ruined it. They only risk the title when they have to, every three years. They play for draws with each other but play to win against the Western masters. Draws make for dull chess, wins make for fighting chess." (1)

And fighting chess is what Fischer delivered. After six consecutive wins he dispensed with Denmark's best, repeating another amazing 6-0 performance. Preparing to face Boris Spassky in a World Championship match, he would first meet the winner of the Petrosian - Korchnoi Candidates Semifinal (1971). This turned out to be Petrosian, hence the Fischer - Petrosian Candidates Final (1971).

Commentator: "Larsen wasn't playing his best in this match"
Bobby: "I've been playing for 15 years against people who weren't playing their best"

I would like to inform everyone that I impressed a girl with my vast (not that vast really) knowledge of Bobby Fischer's run to the chess world championship two days ago at a party. The meme magic is real. Thank you very much agadmator.

Larson was suffering from Fischeritis, a common illness among GM's facing RJF.

[JJ-kleq]

Larsen was ill with food poisoning after eating a King’s Indian Supreme Pizza. That type of poisoning is dangerous since it can give you Little Seizures.

There's something quote with Fischer's quote.

Damn, I didnt really appreciated Antonio's persistence in posting 2 new videos every day until today.
Today, during my lunchtime I was having a panic attack, as I didnt find any new videos. Turns out, after a year and something I had developed an unbreakable habit of watching his videos every lunch. Today's meal was intolerable without improving my vast knowledge.
Thank you for your content, agadmator.

I sat near Larsen as he won a big tournament in Snowmass, Colorado before this match. Larsen had no trouble with altitude or anything else. His losses in these games had nothing to do w/altitude or anything other than facing the great Bobby Fischer. Case closed. Superb commentary!

[Nicholasc]

He was a 2800 with no cpu's what so ever, absolutely insane how brillant that man was

[karlfantonalgo]

I started playing king's indian defense when I saw it being used for the first by Fischer back a long time ago. It fascinated me alot when I first took a look at it. It was a beauty deserving an admiration.

Yes finally new video!!!! Was looking for it since entire day 😀

[mikemccowan]

I'm 56 and I'm just now reading about setups and openings. I wish so much I had started earlier, but this is so much fun! Thank you so much for taking time to make these videos!

[KancerKowboy]

Larson wasn't really physically ill, he was suffering from PTSD from facing Fischer. Its completely understandable in hindsight.

[marcorc]

Daaaamn, I keep saying it every game I watch from Fischer, but he was an absolute beast!
Poor Larsen and Taimanov, I wouldn't want to be in their shoes.

[NationalSportsEntertainmentNSE]

E4 should be called the Fischer opening. He’s by far the best player to ever play it and knew every variation humanely possible

[anirudhabrv]

Agad blundered the quote
I want to live the rest of "my house?"

[mylifematters]

I know something bad is going to happen when his voice drops an octave ‘ knight to f FIVE’

[manigopal]

Missed you too much agadmator. Glad everything came to an end. I know how frustrating it is for being accused of something that we never did. Back to chess again 😍🙏🏻
