[@AlexanderNevermind888]

I'd love to see these streamers play the occasional classical tournament like Anna Crambling did instead of constant blitz. It allows us to get a really thorough analysis on how they saw the game as it developed. Anna's analysis of her games, in addition to her mother's thoughts were amazing.

[@asdfasdf-mn8iu]

Classical games usually require a ton of preparation, that's why a lot of people do not want to do those. Viewers usually find them less interesting, because they're slow in live games and need to be analyzed afterwards in order to be interesting for the common viewer, which is even more invested time. Also classical games take very long so you'll get less content out of any given time. I think that's mostly why not a lot of youtubers do them. It's not like they have much time with how rigorous video release schedules need to be in order to retain viewership on youtube.

[@AlexanderNevermind888]

I don't think they require a ton of preparation, particularly not for the majority of these streamers. Some of them are barely at 2200 level, others are even lower than that. At that level, they are playing in mainly swisses anyway, so there's not a lot of preparation that they can do. I beg to differ about viewers finding classical games less interesting. People who play chess seriously (e.g. not just online chess) get a lot out of classical games where they can see and learn changes from the middlegame to the endgame. You don't see that in blitz and bullet. It's all about simple threats and counter-threats, and in some cases, premoves. Of course you can get more content in bullet and blitz, but how often do you see these streamers take the time to analyze these games thoroughly. I can watch a full day worth of strong classical games like in the FIDE world cup. But give me blitz or bullet for 30 minutes and I lose interest because often the opening lines are faulty, and meant to "trick" the other player, or it just seems to all be about the quickness of the moves. I remember following Anna's mom, Pia's analysis. It was amazingly deep information. Even Anna's moves had more invested in them than the way she plays during quick chess streaming. I liked the fact that she took the opportunity to play classical games, and let the spectators see her as more of a serious chess player.

[@asdfasdf-mn8iu]

@@AlexanderNevermind888 There have been multiple KZbinrs, among them Gothamchess and Eric Rosen, who have stated on stream that ANY classical games they play require a lot more preparation and Levy once started training for his GM norms and said, this specifically is beyond him to accomplish simply in time needed for preparation parallel to his usual content updates. So I am somewhat confident in them needing way more time to prepare for classical games. Also, if you really want to learn and analyze classical games, why not turn to the best out there who play tons of classical games, the top GMs? While i think it can be very entertaining to see your beloved KZbinr analyze these games and explain their way of thinking in that it allows a more personal approach to their way of thinking and personalities, chess-wise it should not be as interesting as top games by top players. Also, while there might be the odd 5% or less viewership that play chess seriously, most viewers will watch these games for entertainment first and chess analysis second - at least in my estimation. And for those classical games are just not as relevant. I'm pretty sure if classical games were about as much preparation and would retain about as much viewership as all these others, chess KZbinrs would do many more videos in that category, but usually all you find is KZbinrs analysing top games by top GMs, rarely their own (Eric Rosen is the biggest outlier i can think of there).

[@sackfoga3779]

​@@AlexanderNevermind888I fully agree with everything except the preperation Part, most players around that Level, especially if they havent played for some time have to invest time into preperation or dont feel good without it at least

[@AlexanderNevermind888]

@@sackfoga3779 You're right. Of course, they definitely have to put some time into prep, but I don't think it requires much more time than the average master puts in. In the recent women's US championship, a lot of those girls/women were still in school and taking classes each day, yet prepped enough during their off time to play some decent classical chess. Even watching the games, I could see the difference between their classical play and the spontaneous moves we see when they play those blitz tournaments.

She tried to keep asking him questions to figure out who he is. That guy is amazing!

[@ericastier1646]

she is talkative, she cannot help it, it is cute. She did the same playing Vishy Anan

[@rmac3217]

As a poker player it's interesting she didn't want the 'free pawn' without knowing why because she 'saw what he did last game'. In other words, he can freely make mistakes through sheer fear of what he is up to, this happens a lot in poker haha.

True story... btw in this case I think taking the pawn would result in the black bishop trapped after the move b3

[@arthurrtang9670]

That pawn on a2 I think was poison, and as was mentioned, the Bishop on a2 would end up getting trapped by b3

[@JimBalter]

It's just banter ... she knew it wasn't free.

[@DarylIrwinAyo]

The end game was something to catch, positioning in the mid game was crucial

He certainly looks and acts like a chess prodigy.
