In his middle years he expressed his concern with the belief in God. This may have been in part due to Fischer being anti-American and somewhat feeling the two were related. After Fischer went away nobody really heard from him, so it's tough to say if he found religion for himself or not. Hopefully he found some truth to believe in but I am not sure if he did.

I just started getting into chess and your videos are really helping me, so thanks. Would black’s best move be to drop his queen back to F7 in the last situation (like at 7:00) ?

Once black captured with queen on d5, he can capture the white bishop or move back to f7 but honestly the game is pretty much lost by that point as white is just up too much material for black to do much. Glad to hear the videos are helping. Well honestly black’s best move would have been not to originally move his bishop to d5, but once he did, it was best just to give that piece up.

I think it is equally good as the move you suggested Rb3. The sequence will be like this: 1. Qb8+, Ka5 2. Ra3+, Qa4, 3.RXa4+,KXa4.... The result is the same. Ka5 is the only legal step for black after Qb8+ and Qa4 will be the only step that is possible. KXa4 will make sure black gets Rook at least.

Qa4 is not the only legal step. You may want to look a little deeper on your own first. Just my thoughts. well i didnt think it was equally best cause instead of Qa4 from black, he could just play Kb4, and white no longer can take the queen on that move. Qa4 is not the only legal step.

I did not notice that initally. The step you mention is definitely better. Thanks for the clarification. I did not notice that initally. The step you mention is definitely better.
