    Not this again. Nf7 is brilliant. WAKE UP COMPUTER

    Petition for Levi to have an entirely Russian video

    No not even close I completely disagree with no 1… Is just a forced mate. OK rapid chess but still mate in 2!

    Fun Fact:- In Gelfand vs Nakamura, nakamura’s queen was blessed with Queen Elizabeth. That’s why it was so immortal in the game

    "So you play Nf4, lose your queen. Somewhere Eric Rosen yells 'Oh no! My queen!'"

    You sir, just beat Ben Finegold in inside jokes by a light year.

    14:00 Hikaru could have took the pawn on e4 with knight, if xe4 then Qxe4 check Qg7 is the only legal move then Qxg7#

    This is like me playing. I predicted almost all the sacrifices. 650 ELO’s do the same. Except they resign and never play chess again.

    I really like your presentation style, very friendly. Thx for the History-lesson and to made me play chess and like it.

    Dude, The GREATEST queen sac was by Frank Marshall and you ignored it. Just wrong!

    The city is called "Rostov na Donu" =)

    The Nakamura game was underwhelming compared to the others.

    the one by Nakamura is out of this world, genius

    Обожаю твои видео, большое спасибо, мой Elo просто подскочил на 200 очков 🙂

    Кстати, просто интересно, а как ты научился говорить по-русски? К тому же без аккцента

    the fact that none of Eric Rosen's games got in here is VERY dissapointing

    Im gonna say its a sac everytime i blunder my queen

    19:45 somewhere Eric Rosen yells 'Oh no my queen I laughed for 4 mins after hearing that 🤣

    Chernika – blueberry, i am russian, and its called rostov-na-dony.

    Don is a river in russia.

    @GothamChess how do you not have Sabina Foisor Queen Sac to win the 2017 US women’s championship? That’s gotta be on the top Queen sac list

    In Russian Rastov na Danu. "Ростов на Дону"

    Hikaru really hit us with the Botez Gambit declined

    ooh, Morphys opera house game comes up short. yeah, i know

    These matchs are so crazy that I can't understand them even if I take years but still come to watch them.

    CRAZYYYYYY😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲

    You should have included lupi vs magnus game too

    the Josh Waitkin rook lift includes a queen sacrifice

    The interesting thing about the Kasparov game was that the sacrifice had been played before and white actually won after Nb1. This, and f3 were both ways to really test/refute this sacrifice. I get a feeling Nb1 is a bit easier to find because obviously, and frankly, never play f3. I’m not sure if Kasparov found this game before or not (Bobby Fischer actually discovered his famous “Bobby Fischer trap” in a fairly overlooked chess magazine. If so he might have possibly had a plan for it. It’s almost a shame that Kramnik played Rc1, as this was certainly a blunder and just lead to a strictly worse position. I also get a feeling the kramnik of the 2000s actually would have found the right defensive move. Would he have gone on to win though? That’s kind of the question. It doesn’t subtract from the brilliance of Kasparov any, but it’s an interesting story.

    me, a 1300 spotting Magnus’s sacrifice: “So easy I should be a GM”

    Fischer is the GOAT…Hands down. He would have never lost to a computer.

    6:40 on the long horizon the computer usually miss the "quiet" moves (not capturing, not checks, etc)! PS: this games of Nezhmetdinov is one of my favorites of all time!

    In quality maybe, but in quantity, I am better !

    A move better than queen sacrifices?
    I dont know ask that indian guy

    GothamChess bringing the UFC references in a chess video… goated

    Altruista Niepodamnazwiska Bolubięprywatność says:

    last move looks like 50. chesscom puzzle

    Вау, он может говорить на русском 🙂

    Have to mention McDonnell's Immortal, London m4 ;HCL 18 (1834), 04, rd 50, versus La Bourdonnais.

    Mikhail tal watching this video
    “My queen sacs are slightly better than yours…”

    The Nakamura sequence feels like a puzzle position you wouldn't believe anyone could ever get to, let alone find in a real game

    I always commit a Queen sacrifice at the very start of the game to gain confidence
