The fact that he looks more excited about the Tal's game than golden play button say all about how great of chess enthusiast and content creator agadmator is :)

Things I like about your channel: 1. Dog in background. 2. Your humility. 3. Your love of Tal. 4. The clarity of your analysis. 5. Your infectious love of the game.

Fun fact: Tal spoke Serbo Croatian language fluently, and visited Spuž, a little town in Montenegro in 89 where he played a couple of blitz games with a local Grandmaster. How do I know? I saw him there, I was a 7 year old kid, but didnt know what was the fuss about.

The first million is the hardest... Congrats, Antonio! Although your analysis is quite often self evident ("preparing c5" and guess what - c5 was played!) you have a very good sense for branding, using subconscious factors like that rich piece capturing sound. Your thumbnails are inviting, elaborated and consistent, they contain the player's portray instead of your own, you titles are catchy. Others have already started to copy you! The sheer quantity of your analyses supersedes all others. The deactivation of advertising and your trust in sponsors are further ingredients of your success mix.
