Apologies to @CO. Hoosier for taking his schtick, but he hasn't posted about chess in a while, and if you like chess, this video explanation of the Fischer-Byrne match is just incredible:

As someone who has played some competitive chess over the years, it is truly amazing how good the best of the best are. Unfortunately with computers, I’m not sure if chess will ever be the same, but what a game it once was

You have to wonder how and when the 13 year old saw the carnage that his queen sacrifice would bring to his opponent. There’s another Fischer queen sac that I looked for but couldn’t find that was equally amazing imo. In that one his two bishops brought havoc on his opponent.

Have you read Kasparov’s book Deep Thinking? I think it’s very good about AI and thinking in general.
