He read his book and makes notes. He has access to Wiki and other sites. There is no need for him to keep all this information in his head. No doubt he has good knowledge but he prepares for each video and probably has these notes on screen. He also has excellent verbal skills for English as a second language and he is much superior to people who's language is only English. He is a tad obsessive and a little bit overly worried about perfection and upsetting viewers by making even minor mistakes. He tends to include excessive minor detail but overall he is an expert commentator. It is surprising to me that his FIDE ratings are only in the 1800's. I expected about 2200. So his verbal IQ is much higher than his visuospatial chess IQ. Anyway these are only my opinions and his videos are my favorite on KZbin.

[@ApostleOfChange]

I am enjoying this series so much even though I’m not much of a chess player. I love your commentary and the brilliancy of all the players involved as well as the anecdotal history of the matches.

Really really really enjoying this Capablanca Saga! All the background is not only interesting, but actually quite pertinent, the quite obvious example here being that Bernstein complained to the arbitor about Capablanca's involvement in the tournament. That's actually fairly essential information to help understand how the game went. I'm very glad the people voted for this series, even though I wasn't one of them! :)

[@azula-3875]

i found the following checkmate sequence. it's mate in 6 (18:57): [1] Queen e3 check, King has to capture Pawn, otherwise mate in 2 as shown in video. [2] Then Rook g2 check. King to go h4 (if King takes Knight on h5, then queen h3 check mate). [3] Then Queen f4 check. King to h3. If King captures Knight, then Rook captures Rook. (4) King to h4 to survive for one more move. (5) Then Queen f4 check and (6) next move you kiss the King with the Queen [4] Then Rook c3 check. Black Rook blocks with g3 [5] then Queen or one of the Rooks g3 checkmate :D
