A relaxing analysis of the amazing game that made a teenager from Brooklyn famous. Help keep the content flowing by supporting me on This is an ASMR video. I narrate the game in calm manner, sometimes dropping my voice to a whisper. I gently tap the chessboard while slowly explaining the moves and the history of the game. The Game of the Century is a chess game that was won by the 13-year-old future world champion Bobby Fischer against Donald Byrne in the Rosenwald Memorial Tournament at the Marshall Chess Club in New York City on October 17, 1956. In the video I say that the game was played in the US championship, which is incorrect. In Chess Review, Hans Kmoch dubbed it “The Game of the Century“ and wrote: “The following game, a stunning masterpiece of combination play performed by a boy of 13 against a formidable opponent, matches the finest on record in the history of chess prodigies.“ [Event “Third Rosenwald Trophy“]
