Fischer Was From Another Universe | Fischer vs Larsen | Game 5 | Candidates 1971

Larsen came back from illness. The match was 4-0. One last chance to show the world he belonged. Fischer didn't care. In a Sicilian Fischer-Sozin, the game looked balanced until Larsen made one greedy decision, rejecting a draw and grabbing material. Fischer punished it instantly with a stunning exchange sacrifice on e6, winning a pawn and seizing complete control. Larsen had no answer. The conversion was cold, clinical and completely inevitable. 5 straight losses. No draws. No mistakes from Fischer. Not a single moment of weakness across five games. ⬇️ Full game breakdown below. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 — Introduction & match situation (4-0) 1:00 — Larsen returns from illness — can he finally score? 2:33 — Opening: Sicilian Fischer-Sozin Attack 6:00 — Queens get traded 10:32 — Larsen's rook gets trapped 11:00 — Fischer's Winning Position 11:55 — Larsen resigns 12:00 — Larsen's draw position recap #bobbyfischer #chesshistory #chess #chessgame #chesscom #siciliandefense
