The last game is genius
Paul Morphy with the "F u I'm not trading queens BOZO" was the biggest chess powermove I've seen.
i love your verbaige
11:13 what about en passent
Great games! Excellent educational commentary too 😎👍
You got me though, I was so sure the last game you featured was going to be Fischer versus Byrne 😂
15:18 this position is seen in batman arkham knight at wayne tower
Okay I've seen pictures of checkmates from various grandmasters and thought those were cool. But this breakdown was insane and i've never seen games like this.
"didnt wear buttons?" is that east cost dialect tor "fasten buttons?"
True: The more you know about chess, the less you know about anything else in the world.
Not very applicable, though moves are skilled. Its almost like hope- chess. You gotta improvised Levy
What is about queen f3 in the 4th game at the end witzig the three pawns?:)
In the last game the knight became a cuddly octopus
Its like Master Chief teaching chess
You forgot about the gold coins game
@GothamChess Is there any Fischer games that could of been on this list? Sorry for the @ but I am 12 months late to the party. Hopefully you respond. Thank you
2:52 I had this position but my opponent played Nc6 blundering checkmate
16:54 I've heard about the Evans gambit two days ago by watching a video who tells us to crush weak opponents and make them cry by using that opening.
What an incredible lesson. Thank you for your teaching.
Extraordinary prescience; as far as chess is concerned, these men are on another level, such clever thinking and so inventive.
🔥
The 1st game was just nuts
Can someone make a movie for this guy starring Daniel Radcliffe?
Lol this guy’s great
wow
Superb
Words cannot describe how fucking crazy these games are especially no3
36:04 and the audience sacrifices – their time
I do not like you plus I do not know you I just do not like you
At 6:00 why would pawn H6 be a bad idea? Still learning myself
I like this chanel. thanks
What is truly fascinating about the Immortal Game is that it's not a perfect game for White, unlike the Evergreen, in which Anderssen's only dubious move was 17.Nf6+. Anderssen made lots of mistakes as well in the Immortal, but for how chess was analysed (without engines, of course) back in the day, it appeared like a supreme gem in the history of chess. White often lost advantage in that game: 18.Bd6 is a mistake. Kieseritzky didn't see the Queen sacrifice and thought that 20…Na6 was the correct move to prevent mate on c7, but if you put the position on any engine, it will show you that moving the Bishop, thus creating an escape square for the King, leaves White with just a small advantage, given by the opportunity to win back the sacrificed material. It really teaches a lesson on how chess changed: pre-Lasker/Capablanca chess was just a different thing from the cold-blooded Cold-War Sicilians and stuff.
Octopuses
Great video, as usual.
I can listen to Harry Potter talk about muggle chess all day, every day !!
Mahe de Labourdonnais is actually part of my country's history. Yet we never learned that he was a skilled chess player. Thanks Levi
Amazing video, this is good chess lore, after this video I got an inspiration to learn the scilian! please make more chess lore videos
it's one of Gotham's masterclass!
The third game was God tier level. Damn!
31:46 my man said “octopi” 😂😂😂😂
💥👍🏿
In the immortal game why develop knight to wing? If knight c6 mate is prevented!
Truly wonderful explanations!
You asked us to debate in the comments whether a tree falling in the forest with nobody around makes a sound. There's no debate. Of course it does. The question establishes that the tree exists without witnesses, therefore the sound also exists.
How do we submit a game for review?
What if nobility had castled queenside instead of just rook d8 in opera game?
I can't wait to see your interpretation of Reti-Capablanca 1924 and Fischer-Kovacevic 1970.
Playing against Andersson would've made me quit playing chess out of pure shame
Thank You.
“Evergreen” and “Immortal” are synonymous enough.
