[patriotic music]

4
00:00:11,339 --> 00:00:12,338
Milton Bradley's like,

5
00:00:12,339 --> 00:00:13,739
hey, everybody, I got this new game.

6
00:00:13,740 --> 00:00:16,338
It's, like, American.
It's, like, [bleep] cool.

00:00:16,339 --> 00:00:17,339

Ugh!
[chuckles]

8
00:00:18,339 --> 00:00:21,338
We're gonna ban
[bleep] pinball, dude.

9
00:00:21,339 --> 00:00:23,338
Because pinball is a game of chance.

10
00:00:23,339 --> 00:00:25,338
[belches]
Jeez.

11
00:00:25,339 --> 00:00:26,539
Bobby Fischer would be like,

12
00:00:26,564 --> 00:00:31,338
bup, zow, poosh!
It's like, blaaah!

13
00:00:31,339 --> 00:00:34,338

16
00:00:48,349 --> 00:00:50,848
We've been playing games
as long as we've been

17
00:00:50,849 --> 00:00:53,348
telling stories, and even
before we were writing...

18
00:00:53,349 --> 00:00:56,348

like, writing, literally

scrawling things...

19
00:00:56,349 --> 00:00:57,348
we were playing games.

20
00:00:57,349 --> 00:00:59,348
You can kind of escape
when you play the game.

21
00:00:59,349 --> 00:01:02,348
You're in that world.
You're not in your world.

22
00:01:02,349 --> 00:01:04,348
- How many E3s is this for you?
- First E3. Virgin.

23
00:01:04,349 --> 00:01:06,348
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

24
00:01:06,349 --> 00:01:08,348
This place kinda gives
me a panic attack.

25
00:01:08,349 --> 00:01:09,349
Are you drunk right now?

26
00:01:09,374 --> 00:01:13,348
No, I just... God just made
me look like this. [laughter]

27
00:01:13,349 --> 00:01:15,348
Let the games begin!

28
00:01:15,349 --> 00:01:19,015
The name of the game
is Water or Vodka

29
00:01:19,349 --> 00:01:21,348

 Is it water or is it vodka?

30
00:01:21,349 --> 00:01:24,349
- Okay, three red.
- Three.

31
00:01:26,349 --> 00:01:27,348
That was vodka.

32
00:01:27,349 --> 00:01:29,348
Now you spin. I don't.

33
00:01:29,349 --> 00:01:31,348
Bum-bum-bum-bum

34
00:01:31,349 --> 00:01:35,175
- 16 red.
- There it is.

35
00:01:37,349 --> 00:01:39,348

You can't not tell!

36
00:01:39,349 --> 00:01:41,348
- Hmm?
- You have to say!

37
00:01:41,349 --> 00:01:43,349
- What?
- Which one are you drinking?

38
00:01:45,349 --> 00:01:47,349
That one.

39
00:01:49,349 --> 00:01:52,348
I'm so mad at you!
I hate you.

40
00:01:52,349 --> 00:01:57,348
- Nice to see you.
- Ugh! [chuckles]

41
00:01:57,349 --> 00:02:02,348
Hello, today we're gonna talk
about Milton Bradley.

42
00:02:02,349 --> 00:02:06,348
All right, so it's 1860,
and this 24-year-old guy

43
00:02:06,349 --> 00:02:10,348
named Milton Bradley has
this lithography business,

44
00:02:10,349 --> 00:02:14,348
and his lithograph that he's selling
is of Abraham Lincoln.

45
00:02:14,349 --> 00:02:17,348
But at this time,
Abraham Lincoln doesn't have a beard.

46

00:02:17,349 --> 00:02:20,348

He's a shaved... beast.
[chuckles]

47
00:02:20,349 --> 00:02:21,348
And Milton Bradley's like,

48
00:02:21,349 --> 00:02:24,171
this is a good one to make,
'cause people will want it.

49
00:02:24,193 --> 00:02:27,054
So they're selling like hotcakes.
Everyone loves 'em.

50
00:02:27,349 --> 00:02:29,348
And then this little girl, Grace Bedell,

51
00:02:29,349 --> 00:02:31,348
writes to Abraham Lincoln and she says,

52
00:02:31,349 --> 00:02:33,348
if I were a woman, I would vote for...

53
00:02:33,349 --> 00:02:37,348
Wait, no, she says,
if I were a man, I would vote for you.

54
00:02:37,349 --> 00:02:40,348
But I'm a girl, and what
you need to do is you

55
00:02:40,349 --> 00:02:43,348
need to grow a beard,
because women love whiskers.

56
00:02:43,349 --> 00:02:47,348
So, if women tell their
husband that they like you,

57
00:02:47,349 --> 00:02:51,348

to vote for you, you'll get more

votes if you have a beard.

58
00:02:51,349 --> 00:02:53,348
So Abraham, like, gets this letter,

59
00:02:53,349 --> 00:02:55,348
and he's like, notice
anything different about me?

60
00:02:55,349 --> 00:02:58,348
I got a beard, baby.
Isn't that cute?

61
00:02:58,349 --> 00:03:01,848
So everyone in the whole
country gets newspapers

62
00:03:01,849 --> 00:03:05,348
with drawings of Lincoln,
and he's got a beard.

63
00:03:05,349 --> 00:03:06,989
And they're like,
I bought this lithograph

64
00:03:07,014 --> 00:03:09,348
for, like, a bunch of money,
and it's a joke now

65
00:03:09,349 --> 00:03:13,348
because he's got a blank face,
he's got a shaved face.

66
00:03:13,349 --> 00:03:15,348
And Milton Bradley's like,
I've spent all my ink

67
00:03:15,349 --> 00:03:18,348
on all these garbage lithographs.

68

00:03:18,349 --> 00:03:20,649

So he burns them all, and
he's completely done for.

69
00:03:21,149 --> 00:03:23,348
So he's like, I have
this lithograph machine.

70
00:03:23,349 --> 00:03:24,669
It's, like, this big hunk of junk.

71
00:03:24,694 --> 00:03:28,348
I don't even have a good picture
to print. What am I gonna do?

72
00:03:28,349 --> 00:03:31,348
So he goes to hang out with
his best friend, George Tapley,

73
00:03:31,349 --> 00:03:33,348
and they're playing

this, like, Puritan game.

74
00:03:33,349 --> 00:03:36,549
It's, like, really boring.
So he realized during the game,

75
00:03:36,574 --> 00:03:40,348
I could make a game better than this.
I could come up with a game

76
00:03:40,349 --> 00:03:44,348
that people who aren't all
Puritan-minded would enjoy,

77
00:03:44,349 --> 00:03:47,348
and he calls his game
The Checkered Game of Life.

78
00:03:47,349 --> 00:03:49,348
The Checkered Game of Life!

79
00:03:49,349 --> 00:03:51,348
And George was like, a new game to play.

80
00:03:51,349 --> 00:03:54,348
Like, they didn't have anything else
to entertain themselves, you know?

81
00:03:54,349 --> 00:03:57,348
And Milton Bradley's like, every
other square has, like, a thing on it.

82
00:03:57,349 --> 00:04:00,348
You know, and the goal is to
reach the ripe old age of 50.

83
00:04:00,349 --> 00:04:02,348
And the not goal is to reach ruin

84
00:04:02,349 --> 00:04:05,348
and have complete

destruction in your life.

85
00:04:05,349 --> 00:04:09,348
- And in the middle, there was suicide.
- Well, good night.

86
00:04:09,349 --> 00:04:11,348
So, he goes to New York with the game,

87
00:04:11,349 --> 00:04:13,349
and he's like,
hey, everybody, I got this new game.

88
00:04:13,374 --> 00:04:15,348
It's, like, American.
It's not just Puritan.

89
00:04:15,349 --> 00:04:17,348
It's, like, [bleep] cool.

90

00:04:17,349 --> 00:04:22,348

And everyone's buying it.
He sells 40,000 copies in one weekend.

91
00:04:22,349 --> 00:04:27,348
And then he's dumb because The Civil
War happened, like, the next day.

92
00:04:27,349 --> 00:04:29,348
Everyone's like, we're only doing war.

93
00:04:29,349 --> 00:04:31,348
We don't... We don't play games.

94
00:04:31,349 --> 00:04:33,469
And then because he's so
smart, Milton Bradley's like,

95
00:04:34,349 --> 00:04:36,348
soldiers have a lot of downtime.

96
00:04:36,349 --> 00:04:38,348
I'm gonna make these games really tiny

97
00:04:38,349 --> 00:04:40,348
so soldiers can have
them in their pocket,

98
00:04:40,349 --> 00:04:42,389
and then the second they're
bored, they can play it.

99
00:04:42,414 --> 00:04:47,348
And so he takes the game,
and he squishes it into, like, small.

100
00:04:47,349 --> 00:04:51,348
And on this board, you
can play checkers and chess

101
00:04:51,349 --> 00:04:54,348

and backgammon
and The Checkered Game of Life.

102
00:04:54,349 --> 00:04:56,348
And all these charities were like,

103
00:04:56,349 --> 00:04:58,601
we're gonna buy these for a
dollar, and we're gonna give

104
00:04:58,602 --> 00:05:00,854
them to soldiers, and the
soldiers will have something to do.

105
00:05:01,349 --> 00:05:02,549
And all the soldiers were like,

106
00:05:02,574 --> 00:05:05,207
this is so cool, like
someone thought of us.

107
00:05:05,276 --> 00:05:07,601
And they would play the
game in their downtime.

108
00:05:07,673 --> 00:05:09,429
That must have been nice.

109
00:05:09,430 --> 00:05:10,429
It was really fun for
them, and they were like,

110
00:05:10,430 --> 00:05:12,348
we're so happy we have a thing to do.

111
00:05:12,349 --> 00:05:16,348
It's not just look at each other
while we wait to shoot somebody.

112
00:05:16,349 --> 00:05:17,348
Milton Bradley's like,

113
00:05:17,349 --> 00:05:21,348
yes, I came up with a cool idea again.
Everyone likes it.

114
00:05:21,349 --> 00:05:24,348
And so the war ends,
and everyone was like,

115
00:05:24,349 --> 00:05:26,348
we have time now, we can play games.

116
00:05:26,349 --> 00:05:27,348
We want more games.

117
00:05:27,349 --> 00:05:29,348
So, he starts printing out
The Checkered Game of Life.

118
00:05:29,349 --> 00:05:31,348

And he made other games,

and he was selling them,

119
00:05:31,349 --> 00:05:34,348
and they were really popular.
And then Milton Bradley started

120
00:05:34,349 --> 00:05:36,549
the Milton Bradley Company,
and they make all the games.

121
00:05:36,574 --> 00:05:39,401
I mean, like, Candyland,
Jenga, Guess Who?,

122
00:05:39,473 --> 00:05:45,348
Battleship, Twister.
And board games are still 18x18 inches,

123
00:05:45,349 --> 00:05:48,348
because that's the size of

the cardboard that fit into

124
00:05:48,349 --> 00:05:51,348
the lithograph machine, and
we're all comfortable with it.

125
00:05:51,349 --> 00:05:55,348
And 100%, none of it would have happened

126
00:05:55,349 --> 00:05:58,348
if Abraham Lincoln didn't grow a beard.

127
00:05:58,349 --> 00:06:00,521
- Now is this where your mind explodes?
- Yeah.

128
00:06:00,556 --> 00:06:03,348
I lost my virginity on a Twister mat.

129
00:06:03,349 --> 00:06:06,348

- Penis, blue.
- Vagina, yellow. [laughs]

130
00:06:06,349 --> 00:06:09,348
Makes green.
[patriotic music]

131
00:06:09,349 --> 00:06:12,348
Yeah, pinball was illegal,
but Roger Sharpe,

132
00:06:12,349 --> 00:06:13,927
he's one of the best in the world.

133
00:06:14,014 --> 00:06:18,348
He's like, I will show you mother[bleep]
that this is a game of skill.

134
00:06:18,349 --> 00:06:19,549
I'm [bleep] up.

135
00:06:22,386 --> 00:06:25,047
- Let's do a shot, right?
- All right, let's cheers to...

136
00:06:25,048 --> 00:06:27,046
We haven't been drunk
together in a long time.

137
00:06:27,047 --> 00:06:28,886
This is very nice.

138
00:06:30,886 --> 00:06:32,885
What the [bleep]?
[laughs]

139
00:06:32,886 --> 00:06:35,885
- Come on, man!
- That's what makes a good friend.

140
00:06:35,886 --> 00:06:37,885

How many people can I

just slap in the face?

141
00:06:37,886 --> 00:06:41,885
Ugh. Yeah, that's what makes
a good friend for Derek.

142
00:06:41,886 --> 00:06:43,885
How many of his friends
can he slap in the face?

143
00:06:43,886 --> 00:06:45,885
Only one.

144
00:06:45,886 --> 00:06:49,046
Really?
Well, that makes me feel good.

145
00:06:49,886 --> 00:06:50,885
Hello.

146
00:06:50,886 --> 00:06:56,885
Today we're gonna talk about
the prohibition of pinball.

147
00:06:56,886 --> 00:06:57,885
Cheers.

148
00:06:57,886 --> 00:07:02,885
So, 1942,
Fiorello Henry La Guardia,

149
00:07:02,886 --> 00:07:07,886
Mayor of New York, goes,
you know what, this pinball thing is evil.

150
00:07:08,886 --> 00:07:13,885
We're gonna ban [bleep] pinball, dude.
Not gonna ball around.

151
00:07:13,886 --> 00:07:15,885

You know, just it's a game.

152
00:07:15,886 --> 00:07:17,885
- We're gonna ban it.
- Why pinball?

153
00:07:17,886 --> 00:07:20,885
Because pinball is a game of chance.

154
00:07:20,886 --> 00:07:23,885
- It's a [bleep] game, dude!
- Yeah.

155
00:07:23,886 --> 00:07:28,885
All right, so, the New York police
start raiding restaurants.

156
00:07:28,886 --> 00:07:32,885
Oh, you got a pinball machine here.
So, it's okay if we [ bleep] it up.

157
00:07:32,886 --> 00:07:36,885
The New York Police Department
confiscated the pinball machines.

158
00:07:36,886 --> 00:07:38,885
La Guardia smashed them,

159
00:07:38,886 --> 00:07:41,458
and then pushed them
into the Hudson River.

160
00:07:41,779 --> 00:07:45,885
A lot of smaller cities around America
would follow what New York did.

161
00:07:45,886 --> 00:07:49,885
So all around America,
yeah, pinball is illegal.

162
00:07:49,886 --> 00:07:53,885

Cut to decades later in the early '70s,

there's this guy Roger Sharpe.

163
00:07:53,886 --> 00:07:56,885
Roger Sharpe is this writer.

164
00:07:56,886 --> 00:08:01,885
But what he does in his off
time is he plays pinball.

165
00:08:01,886 --> 00:08:03,885
But he has to do it,
like, under the radar,

166
00:08:03,886 --> 00:08:05,885
because pinball is still illegal.

167
00:08:05,886 --> 00:08:09,885
You know, Roger Sharpe.
he's one of the best in the world.

168
00:08:09,886 --> 00:08:12,885
He's like,
hey, I'm good at this.

169
00:08:12,886 --> 00:08:15,885
I know how to make this pinball move,

170
00:08:15,886 --> 00:08:19,885
and it's not chance, it's not gambling.

171
00:08:19,886 --> 00:08:23,885
So, in the mist...
in the... in the midst...

172
00:08:23,886 --> 00:08:27,386
- in the midst... mist... mist...
- Mid...

173
00:08:27,886 --> 00:08:29,086
Midst. Is there a D in there?

174
00:08:29,111 --> 00:08:30,885
- Midst, right?
- Mm-hmm.

175
00:08:30,886 --> 00:08:32,086
- I'm serious. Midst?
- Mm-hmm.

176
00:08:32,111 --> 00:08:33,885
In the midst of all this,

177
00:08:33,886 --> 00:08:38,885
The American Music & Amusement
Association, which is kind of like

178
00:08:38,886 --> 00:08:41,885
The Pinball Manufacturers
of America, was like,

179

00:08:41,886 --> 00:08:45,741

all right, look, pinball
was declared illegal, right?

180
00:08:45,768 --> 00:08:48,885
That's crazy.
That's [bleep] crazy.

181
00:08:48,886 --> 00:08:51,885
We have to do something.
We have to save our industry.

182
00:08:51,886 --> 00:08:54,885
[belches]
Jeez.

183
00:08:54,886 --> 00:08:59,885
So, the American
Music & Music Association

184
00:08:59,886 --> 00:09:01,885

call Roger Sharpe and they're like,

185
00:09:01,886 --> 00:09:04,886
hey, we're [bleep] here.
You've gotta help us out.

186
00:09:04,911 --> 00:09:08,733
And he goes,
okay, I gotta do what I gotta do.

187
00:09:08,780 --> 00:09:12,832
So, they bring Roger
Sharpe in front of the New York

188
00:09:12,833 --> 00:09:16,885
City Council to try
to get pinball legalized.

189
00:09:16,886 --> 00:09:17,885
The news media is there.

190
00:09:17,886 --> 00:09:21,886
This is a big deal.
This is 1976.

191
00:09:23,886 --> 00:09:24,885
I'm [bleep] up.

192
00:09:24,886 --> 00:09:26,885
So there's kinda like this
moment where he's like,

193
00:09:26,886 --> 00:09:30,086
you know what, look,
if I'm good enough at pinball,

194
00:09:30,111 --> 00:09:31,885
I can succeed at pinball.

195
00:09:31,886 --> 00:09:33,885
I'm not just... this

isn't just gambling.

196
00:09:33,886 --> 00:09:35,885
This is like, you know, I'm having fun.

197
00:09:35,886 --> 00:09:38,885
This is... This is a game of skill.

198
00:09:38,886 --> 00:09:42,885
Does that make sense?
[belches]

199
00:09:42,886 --> 00:09:47,885
- Jeez.
- All right, so Roger Sharpe

200
00:09:47,886 --> 00:09:51,885
steps up to the El Dorado machine.
He's playing on it.

201

00:09:51,886 --> 00:09:53,606

He's just, you know,
banging the ball around

202
00:09:53,886 --> 00:09:56,711
on this El Dorado machine.
But then there's one prick

203
00:09:56,746 --> 00:09:58,926
on the [bleep] board of
the city council who's like,

204
00:09:58,951 --> 00:10:01,885
no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no.

205
00:10:01,886 --> 00:10:03,885
You guys are trying to pull a fast one.

206
00:10:03,886 --> 00:10:07,885
This machine is probably set up

so he could try to impress us.

207
00:10:07,886 --> 00:10:10,885
I want him to play the backup
machine, which is Bank Shot.

208
00:10:10,886 --> 00:10:11,885
[dramatic music]

209
00:10:11,886 --> 00:10:14,885
Now, Roger Sharpe had never
played that other machine.

210
00:10:14,886 --> 00:10:17,885
He'd never even...
like, not even one quarter.

211
00:10:17,886 --> 00:10:18,885
He had never played it.

212

00:10:18,886 --> 00:10:23,885

But he's like, I'll play it.
I'll play Bank... Bank Shot?

213
00:10:23,886 --> 00:10:27,885
But I will show you mother[bleep]
that this is a game of skill.

214
00:10:27,886 --> 00:10:30,886
Roger Sharpe goes over
to the Bank Shot machine.

215
00:10:31,886 --> 00:10:35,286
He plays it for a few minutes,
and he's, like, mastering it, right?

216
00:10:35,311 --> 00:10:36,885
He's, you know, batting the ball around.

217
00:10:36,886 --> 00:10:39,966
Still nobody's impressed.

They're like, eh, whatever.

218
00:10:39,991 --> 00:10:43,885
He looks at everybody
in the city council

219
00:10:43,886 --> 00:10:47,885
and no [bleep],
straight out of Babe Ruth's book,

220
00:10:47,886 --> 00:10:52,885
he goes, listen up, I'm gonna
call my shot. See the ball?

221
00:10:52,886 --> 00:10:55,885
I'm gonna pull this plunger back
a certain distance,

222
00:10:55,886 --> 00:10:57,885
I'm gonna launch the ball,

223
00:10:57,886 --> 00:11:01,444
and that ball is gonna
go into that center slot.

224
00:11:01,507 --> 00:11:03,885
Everyone's like, yeah, whatever.

225
00:11:03,886 --> 00:11:06,885
So the pressure is on
this dude's shoulders.

226
00:11:06,886 --> 00:11:10,885
He pulls back the plunger
just enough, lets it go,

227
00:11:10,886 --> 00:11:14,885
and the pinball goes up the playfield

228
00:11:14,886 --> 00:11:16,885
and lands right in that middle slot

229
00:11:16,886 --> 00:11:20,885
where he says it's gonna go.
Right at that moment,

230
00:11:20,886 --> 00:11:22,885
one of the councilmen
just grabbed his gavel,

231
00:11:22,886 --> 00:11:26,885
smacked the... smacked the, you know...

232
00:11:26,886 --> 00:11:31,885
whatever he smacks and goes,
pinball is now legal.

233
00:11:31,886 --> 00:11:35,885
Across America, all the
cities who just kowtowed

234

00:11:35,886 --> 00:11:37,885

to whatever New York did were like,

235
00:11:37,886 --> 00:11:40,966
yeah, okay, pinball is legal
and blah, blah, blah, blah.

236
00:11:40,991 --> 00:11:44,885
So it really did all come down
to that one called shot.

237
00:11:44,886 --> 00:11:46,885
This is not a guy that's regularly...

238
00:11:46,886 --> 00:11:53,347
regul...
regulated to the anals of history.

239
00:11:53,529 --> 00:11:58,885
Roger Sharpe was a dude
who was asked to show off his skills

240
00:11:58,886 --> 00:12:02,885
in order to save an entire
industry, which he did.

241
00:12:02,886 --> 00:12:04,886
Two balls!

242
00:12:06,886 --> 00:12:09,885
- Nine ball.
- This is sad.

243
00:12:09,886 --> 00:12:11,885
All right, I'm gonna
shoot it from here

244
00:12:11,886 --> 00:12:14,886
- The four ball!
- to the middle. Ready?

245

00:12:15,886 --> 00:12:16,926

- Wow.
- I called it, dude.

246
00:12:16,951 --> 00:12:19,885
Roger Sharpe. Games.

247
00:12:19,886 --> 00:12:21,885
What would we do without games?

248
00:12:21,886 --> 00:12:23,386
We'd actually have to communicate.

249
00:12:26,290 --> 00:12:28,789
I think virtual reality
will be the biggest

250
00:12:28,790 --> 00:12:30,289
- thing starting next year.
- Okay.

251
00:12:30,290 --> 00:12:32,289
You can step into the device.

252
00:12:32,290 --> 00:12:35,289
- Your body will be completely tracked.
- Okay.

253
00:12:35,290 --> 00:12:37,289
[groans]

254
00:12:37,290 --> 00:12:38,289
[grunting]

255
00:12:38,290 --> 00:12:40,289
Can you do this move, like...

256
00:12:40,290 --> 00:12:42,289
Oh!

257

00:12:42,290 --> 00:12:45,289

Wait, now I can't...
Is anybody around me?

258
00:12:45,290 --> 00:12:47,289
[grunting]

259
00:12:47,290 --> 00:12:48,289
This is how you walk

260
00:12:48,290 --> 00:12:50,289
when you're trying not
to [bleep] in your pants.

261
00:12:50,290 --> 00:12:51,289
[laughs]

262
00:12:51,290 --> 00:12:53,289
- Stay on the path.
- I'm trying.

263
00:12:53,290 --> 00:12:56,289
Whoa-ah!
[yells]

264
00:12:56,290 --> 00:12:58,941
My life!

265
00:13:00,290 --> 00:13:05,053
- Let's cheers to Bobby Fischer, yeah?
- Here's the Bobby B... F.

266
00:13:05,290 --> 00:13:08,289
- Check.
- Mate. [chuckles]

267
00:13:08,290 --> 00:13:11,289
Hello. I'm Rich Fulcher,

268
00:13:11,290 --> 00:13:14,289
and today we're gonna

talk about Bobby Fischer,

269
00:13:14,290 --> 00:13:18,089
King of the Chess People.

270
00:13:18,290 --> 00:13:23,289
It's 1972. Bobby Fischer
is, like, 29 years old,

271
00:13:23,290 --> 00:13:27,289
and at the time, he had won
the U.S. Open Championship

272
00:13:27,290 --> 00:13:31,289
and was an International Grandmaster.

273
00:13:31,290 --> 00:13:34,248
But he wasn't just
a normal chess player.

274

00:13:34,290 --> 00:13:38,289

He was going, put, put,
put, put, put, check!

275
00:13:38,290 --> 00:13:41,289
Woot, woot, woot, checkmate!

276
00:13:41,290 --> 00:13:44,289
That was when he felt
most comfortable in life.

277
00:13:44,290 --> 00:13:47,289
And yet, Russia had won
the World Championship

278
00:13:47,290 --> 00:13:49,289
for the last 24 years.

279
00:13:49,290 --> 00:13:54,289
Like, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia,

280
00:13:54,290 --> 00:13:56,289
can... Russia!

281
00:13:56,290 --> 00:14:00,289
And Russia used that as
sort of a PR campaign,

282
00:14:00,290 --> 00:14:04,289
like, we are the kings.
We are not only Communists,

283
00:14:04,290 --> 00:14:09,289
but we are the intellectuals of
the world because we do chess.

284
00:14:09,290 --> 00:14:12,289
The World Championships are in Iceland,

285
00:14:12,290 --> 00:14:17,289
and Boris Spassky, backed

by the Russian government,

286
00:14:17,290 --> 00:14:21,289
was like, Bobby Fischer is
too young and inexperienced

287
00:14:21,290 --> 00:14:26,289
for someone like me,
the World Champion.

288
00:14:26,290 --> 00:14:30,289
Here's the thing,
Fischer hated Russians,

289
00:14:30,290 --> 00:14:34,289
and he called them filthy pigs.

290
00:14:34,290 --> 00:14:37,289
So it was much more
than just a chess match.

291
00:14:37,290 --> 00:14:40,289
The Cold War is happening.

292
00:14:40,290 --> 00:14:44,289
Life Magazine called it
the match of the century,

293
00:14:44,290 --> 00:14:48,289
and in the retrospect it was,

294
00:14:48,290 --> 00:14:51,289
because it was the match of the century.

295
00:14:51,290 --> 00:14:54,289
And then Fischer didn't show up.

296
00:14:54,290 --> 00:14:57,289
He was still in, uh,
New York, and he said,

297
00:14:57,290 --> 00:15:00,289
I don't want to play in this match

298
00:15:00,290 --> 00:15:04,289
'cause it's not enough prize money.
It's not enough!

299
00:15:04,290 --> 00:15:06,196
He was all talk.

300
00:15:06,290 --> 00:15:11,289
He wasn't, like, ready to perform
for, like, magic people.

301
00:15:11,290 --> 00:15:17,289
But he gets a phone call
from Henry [bleep] Kissinger,

302
00:15:17,290 --> 00:15:20,289
the Secretary of State, and he said,

303
00:15:20,290 --> 00:15:24,289
uhhhhh... hi, this is Ken...

304
00:15:24,290 --> 00:15:28,289
this is Henry Kissinger saying that you

305
00:15:28,290 --> 00:15:32,289
need to get your butt
over to Iceland now.

306
00:15:32,290 --> 00:15:35,313
So he finally shows up in Iceland,

307
00:15:35,348 --> 00:15:39,289
and Spassky's like, fine,
great, let's get started.

308
00:15:39,290 --> 00:15:45,289
But Fischer was like,

there's too many cameras.

309
00:15:45,290 --> 00:15:48,289
There's, uh... the
audience is too close.

310
00:15:48,290 --> 00:15:53,935
The chess board is too shiny.
The lights are shiny.

311
00:15:53,970 --> 00:15:58,129
But Fischer finally agreed
to play, and in America

312
00:15:58,130 --> 00:16:02,289
it was shown on bars
throughout the country.

313
00:16:02,290 --> 00:16:04,289
So you would go into a bar,

314
00:16:04,290 --> 00:16:09,289
you'd see chess and
not the New York Mets,

315
00:16:09,290 --> 00:16:14,289
not the... Klondike... Bars.

316
00:16:14,290 --> 00:16:17,289
But what would you do for a Klondike?

317
00:16:17,290 --> 00:16:20,289
I would do anything
for a Klondike Bar,

318
00:16:20,290 --> 00:16:27,632
except Wikipedia my dingus.
[laughs]

319
00:16:28,290 --> 00:16:33,289
And so, the World Championship

was a best out of 24 match.

320
00:16:33,290 --> 00:16:37,289
The first game was weird
because there's cameras everywhere.

321
00:16:37,290 --> 00:16:41,289
[whimpering gibberish]

322
00:16:41,290 --> 00:16:43,289
It was like, they're too close!

323
00:16:43,290 --> 00:16:46,124
And Fischer made a rookie move,

324
00:16:46,180 --> 00:16:51,289
like, he went and got an
outlier pawn with his bishop,

325
00:16:51,290 --> 00:16:55,038

and Spassky surrounded

it with his bishops.

326
00:16:55,290 --> 00:16:59,289
- Whoa.
- And he lost... big time.

327
00:16:59,290 --> 00:17:03,289
The second match came
around, and Spassky was there,

328
00:17:03,290 --> 00:17:05,289
and he goes, where is he?

329
00:17:05,290 --> 00:17:09,289
Fischer was staying
in his room and saying,

330
00:17:09,290 --> 00:17:13,289
I will not go out unless
the cameras change.

331
00:17:13,290 --> 00:17:16,289
And he was thinking
that they would do it,

332
00:17:16,290 --> 00:17:23,289
but they didn't. And then
Fischer forfeits the match.

333
00:17:23,290 --> 00:17:24,289
Hrrump!

334
00:17:24,290 --> 00:17:29,290
That's how they did it.
And he's down two-nothing,

335
00:17:30,290 --> 00:17:35,289
which is pretty [bleep] bad.

336
00:17:35,290 --> 00:17:36,290

Pfft-pfft-pfft.

337
00:17:39,549 --> 00:17:41,089
Why is all the ice gone?

338
00:17:41,114 --> 00:17:44,048
- Where did all the ice go?
- I just want some free flowers. What?

339
00:17:44,049 --> 00:17:47,048
All the ice was put into the cooler.

340
00:17:47,049 --> 00:17:51,314
Let me tell you about the ice.
You just gotta mix it up!

341
00:17:52,049 --> 00:17:55,048
- Jeez.
- Here's the thing.

342

00:17:55,049 --> 00:17:57,048

- The thing is...
- Here's the thing.

343
00:17:57,049 --> 00:18:00,048
No, but what the thing is, is, um,

344
00:18:00,049 --> 00:18:05,028
I have a flaming dick disease.
[laughter]

345
00:18:05,049 --> 00:18:09,071
No, I was trying to say
that to be behind two-nothing

346
00:18:09,106 --> 00:18:11,048
is a big deal in these matches.

347
00:18:11,049 --> 00:18:13,917
And then finally for the third game

348
00:18:14,049 --> 00:18:17,048
Fischer said,
look, let's go to a back room

349
00:18:17,049 --> 00:18:21,048
with no cameras, please.
And Spassky said yes.

350
00:18:21,049 --> 00:18:26,048
- Fischer felt comfortable and won.
- He won!

351
00:18:26,049 --> 00:18:30,048
The first time he'd ever
beaten Fas... Fassko...

352
00:18:30,049 --> 00:18:35,048
no, Spassky.
Once he won, it just changed.

353

00:18:35,049 --> 00:18:36,048

It's like a turnaround.

354
00:18:36,049 --> 00:18:40,048
It's like a blip, blah, aghhhh.
It's like a shhh.

355
00:18:40,049 --> 00:18:43,565
It's like a pup.
It's like a poosh.

356
00:18:43,611 --> 00:18:48,048
Like a pu-aaaa!
Like a put-chi-sha-sha-snoot!

357
00:18:48,049 --> 00:18:50,038
It happened.

358
00:18:50,049 --> 00:18:52,048
So Fischer won the third game,

359
00:18:52,049 --> 00:18:54,048
the fifth game, the sixth game,

360
00:18:54,049 --> 00:18:57,048
the eighth game, the tenth game.

361
00:18:57,049 --> 00:19:01,048
It was so brilliant,
Spassky actually stood up,

362
00:19:01,049 --> 00:19:05,048
- he gave a standing ovation.
- Thank you, thank you.

363
00:19:05,049 --> 00:19:07,048
And after the 13th game,

364
00:19:07,049 --> 00:19:10,048
the Soviets were like, what do we do?

365
00:19:10,049 --> 00:19:12,048
They went to the officials and said,

366
00:19:12,049 --> 00:19:17,048
Bobby Fischer is using
electronic devices

367
00:19:17,049 --> 00:19:23,102
to wane Spassky's energy
through electronic zappage.

368
00:19:23,137 --> 00:19:28,142
So the Reykjavik police from Iceland

369
00:19:28,177 --> 00:19:30,048
came in and took apart everything.

370
00:19:30,049 --> 00:19:33,048
They took apart Bobby Fischer's chair,

371
00:19:33,049 --> 00:19:38,048
Bobby Fischer's, uh...
peanuts.

372
00:19:38,049 --> 00:19:41,048
Peanuts.
And they were thinking,

373
00:19:41,049 --> 00:19:43,048
oh, this is gonna fluster Fischer,

374
00:19:43,049 --> 00:19:46,048
because Fischer's very,
you know, tumultuous.

375
00:19:46,049 --> 00:19:50,048
It didn't at all.
He loved it.

376
00:19:50,049 --> 00:19:54,048

And he won after that,

and won and won,

377
00:19:54,049 --> 00:19:58,048
and pretty much after the 21st match,

378
00:19:58,049 --> 00:20:02,048
it became mathematically
impossible for Spassky to win.

379
00:20:02,049 --> 00:20:06,048
And it was like, oh, my God!

380
00:20:06,049 --> 00:20:08,048
Fischer wins!
Fischer wins!

381
00:20:08,049 --> 00:20:12,048
And it's... he... he's, like,
the World Chess Champion,

382
00:20:12,049 --> 00:20:13,743
and he's from the U.S.

383
00:20:13,923 --> 00:20:17,048
He walks out in Reykjavik,
there's people everywhere.

384
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:21,048
He's mobbed.
Fischer was huge,

385
00:20:21,049 --> 00:20:25,048
and he became a Cold War hero,
and he felt like...

386
00:20:25,049 --> 00:20:29,048
[making guttural noises]

387
00:20:29,049 --> 00:20:35,048
Tell me more,

you sucking pig! Suck!

388
00:20:35,049 --> 00:20:38,548
Suck!
[spits drink]

389
00:20:39,049 --> 00:20:40,048
That's it.

390
00:20:40,049 --> 00:20:43,048
[patriotic music]

391
00:20:54,517 --> 00:20:57,895

392
00:21:00,764 --> 00:21:03,563
This, I'm no expert,
is half the board.

393

00:21:03,564 --> 00:21:05,563

I've never played.
I'm not just saying that.

394
00:21:05,564 --> 00:21:09,563
A queen to bishop, king-4.

395
00:21:09,564 --> 00:21:12,563
Checkmate.
[laughs]

396
00:21:12,564 --> 00:21:14,244
All right, so that's
how chess is played.
