Fischer-Robatsch 1-0.Fischer wins in 20 moves. Did Fischer play so strongly, or did Robatsch play so poorly? We answer. It is 1962. For Fischer, it is a breakthrough year, when he significantly improved his level of play. But, you know what? This game made us laugh. Fischer’s greatness… it can all be blown away like a candle flame.
Our computer is no Fischer, but our variations definitely surpass Fischer’s play. In them, Robatsch rises above Fischer high, very high. Thus, this game debunks the myth of the greatness of grandmasters. Simply put, others played weaker. And today, our analyses show that the greats did not play so strongly that the outcome of their games could not be reversed. A long time ago, one of the most famous chess theorists and authors of chess aphorisms, Siegbert Tarrasch, said: ‘To win, you don’t have to play strongly. You just have to play better than your opponent.’
At Goldchess, this is outdated and no longer applies. It has lost its power. Because in our definition, that’s not what chess is about. For us, winning means showing something in chess, not winning for the sake of winning. Such games are meaningless. For chess achievement, chess thinking and the development of chess. And this Fischer-Robatsch game is an excellent example of this. For this game, won with black, you can obtain the highest Platinum Certificate of Professional Chess Trainer. Of course, after winning silver and gold earlier.
A game of chess is a creative endeavour. If you are not being creative, you should consider whether you should continue playing chess.
