Featured is an interesting chess game between Wolfgang Unzicker and Bobby Fischer from Buenos Aires, 1960. After just 12 moves in a Sicilian Najdorf, Fischer finds himself in a losing position. What happened? He touched his h-pawn, intending to move it to h6, but then realized it could simply be captured. Having effectively enforced the “touch-move” rule on himself, he choose to play the only other legal move for the pawn that didn’t immediately lose material. A simple yet powerful lesson, both in chess and beyond, on accepting one’s mistakes and dealing with the consequences.

I’m a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
