Best explanations out of all videos on chess. Great wording and description of the board. Keep the games coming with potential moves and what ideas either player has in mind, along with what the engine says throughout the game. Always look forward to new videos. Daily/ weekly videos preferred.

I like how in your videos you discuss the meaning behind the moves, state what the engine likes/dislikes, and how you go down multiple lines. Also your historical knowledge on chess games is impressive

Fischer never played queens gambit declined in his entire career. With the white pieces, he'd play e4 every single time. With the black peices, he'd play kings indian or sicilian. Against spasky, he played queens gambit declined with both white and black, though never debassing himself to playing d4 on the first move. Opting instead for c4. Thus, one might say that out of spite he never opened with d4 in his entire career. Also telling about fischer. He believed e4 was the objectively best way to play. He believed c5 was what gave black the most counterplay. He stuck by those beliefs his entire career, only playing different lines to throw off spasky. How many other chess players in the world can say they refused to play a certain opening for their entire career, only using it to throw off their opponent in a world chess championship match?

Not true. First of all you can't play it as white since it is a DEFENSE. Spassky is the one who played it. Second, Fischer HAD played the defense a few times as black, namely the Ragosin variation. He also played b3 and c4 opening moves a couple of times in the 1970 Interzonal

not every single time. Bobby in the past had played 1.Nf3, 1. c4, and 1. b3.

Alekhine's Defense may not be the best, but it's a hell of a lot better than the Nadjorf 'poisoned pawn' that Fischer inexplicably liked and which Spassky crushed him in a previous game

Fantastic commentary, as per usual! One of the things I'm learning from your commentaries is that Yusupov was right when he said that being good at selecting candidate moves is more important than how good you are at calculating. I'm wondering how long it takes you to prepare your commentary for a game.

Here Fisher looks at the board, blinks his eyes once or twice, farts undetected. He then taps his left foot three times as Spassky scratches his right temple with his ring finger contemplating what he’s going to have for breakfast tomorrow ….

@mwatkins059022 күн бұрын
alehkine is really not a bad opening at all if you are comfortable with hypermodern style games, but if you are looking to draw the petrovs defense will be better, and if you are looking to take the win, the sicilian or caro kan will be better.

Why didn't I ever notice this game before in my entire stupid chess life? Thank you. Sorry Spassky played this opening badly, and was lost when the a pawn fell, but wow-kay this is Magnus style so opening mess before superior play takes control of the game, pressing endlessly for a win.

At the 7 minute mark you use way too many arrows when, in this critical position it would be better as a commontator, you just take the time to move the pieces just like people would do if they were analyizing the game on a real board. Moving arrows does us no benefit when there are so many of them. If you take the time to make a excellent product then you will get more people liking your channel.

@@nickchatzipantelis4109 You can make as many assumptions about my chess expertise as I can to assess your general ability to understand the point being made (clue: very low!).

@@stevelangridge1755 the thing is teh chess computer is not always right, thats why sometimes chess computers can beat eachother. furthermore you have to think - the most optimal move might be a super unintuitive gambit or sacrifice which requires you to play 30 counterintuitive, perfect moves in a row and if you miss a single one you lose whereas a move that is suboptimal but more intuitive, where your chances of still coming out ahead if you make another slightly less than perfect move are much higher, is ultimately a better move when neither side has a computer to help them. a single good computer move which might be the best move might still be much harder for a human to win with than a suboptimal move that is intuitive.
