We do not know where this film was recorded, nor are we sure what language the interviewer is translating Fischer's remarks into.
Addendum: Guardian chess correspondent Leonard Barden informs us that the interviewer in the video is "clearly the Serbian journalist FM Dimitrije Bjelica, so that the film was most probably shot in Yugoslavia 1970". Multiple readers have informed us that the language used by Bjelica and partially understood by Fischer is Serbo-Croatian.
We would be grateful for any further information regarding the footage. Also if you know of any other Fischer analysis on video please send us a link. Thanks to Ian Olsen for pointing us to the current video.
