To chime in, I REALLY like these historical dives into chess. The games of Magnus, Hikaru, etc are fun (and you do a great job of making them very engaging) I find the historical material fascinating. We can all follow what's happening in the games, but having someone who's intimately familiar with how the game developed is unique, and you deliver it very well. If you ever taught a college course on the history of chess, I'd definitely seek to take it. Thanks for doing this work and I hope it continues. Really neat stuff and a wonderful return to your earlier content!
Great video. I’d love to see more historical games
This is madly good chess content – nothing new but great delivery.
A small linguistic correction: Piano by itself means "soft/gentle", pianissimo means "very soft/gentle".
Levy made such a well researched vid – Only 250k views
Any videos with magnus thumbnail- minimum 500k
Hypocrisy of viewers at finest.
I’m really enjoying these historical videos. Levy, please do more of these, they are just fascinating. Also, is Gioachino Greco the guy that the Greek Gift sacrifice is named after? I love doing it.
I LOVE THIS
Gioacchino Greco is also the inventor of the Greek gift, with "Greek" being the translation of his surname!
this is one of the best gothamchess video. Like his vibe and energy was completely on another level.
just want to say I can sense your passion and love for the game of chess through this video. The way you speak about the greats who came before is how I will speak about you in the future when I teach my kids. I played when I was little but stopped for many years and the passion to play again and get better now came from watching your videos and twitch streams. For that I thank you 🙏
Levy's enthusiasm is infectious
I wish you covered the games in more detail.
bent larsen video eventually levy?
Exelent content
I love this stuff, sorry if it doesn't do as well, but many of us still appreciate it.
amazing video other than the last 5 minutes
That is an incisive observation about how openings being "known" today has changed the game. Watching current tournaments confirms that at the very top, surprise and novelty during the opening rules the day. Advantage comes from getting your opponent "out of preparation."
Great video keep up the great work levy. You spoke of paul being 2700 if in todays game but on one of hikaru videos he didnt seem to respect paul at all said he would of been rated like 2300-2400 lol i mean are you kidding me. He would of been even better. Paul was like 300 points higher than the people he was playing. Thats like top chess players playing someone in the 3200's. I do like benfinegold's video on his top 10 of all time and agree with it 100%
Crazy how still the eval bar was through the entire Capablanca/Lasker game. Stockfish very approves.
youngest player to beat a grandmaster is now 8 years old, as of february 2024
great video!!!
Take Love From Bangladesh 🇧🇩
it is too bad we never got Fischer vs Kasparov for a couple decades.
Love me some history Levy. Nice work.
Why did Nigel Short get a mention?
I think I play 18th century chess.
I don't understand the difference between the playstyle of Capablanca, Fischer Karpov and Carlsen.
This is a fantastic video! Loved learning chess history.
2:30 – 2:37 damn! Greco was ANGRY, lmfaooooooooo!
Thanks for covering the historic game I played against Greco in 1620
you show the opera game already 2 years ago
9:32 In 1970 I bought a chess book. The very first study was the Opera game.
Love the historical videos! Definitely want to see more
I know I'm just getting to this and it will not matter too much, but when you were talking about Anderssen v. Kieseritzky (around @11:00 , and you said they hated castling back then it reminded me of my middle/high school chess club, and they thought it was such a weak move to castle unless you had no other option.. and I was born in'93 🤣 Just love this game!
love the historical content! Keep it up!
very random minor correction, in music "piano" is softly and "pianissimo" is very softly.
This could be the whole series. Chess is so magic because of the rich history. I can´t appreciate today´s grandmasters and never will. Great content.
My grandfather was a gm during in yugosllavia and he always plays a g2 pawn ,i never understood what opening is that can someone help
WHY AM I ONLY SEEING THIS VIDEO NOW? STUPID ALGO NEED MOARRRR
you wrote this is bad performing content. I instead see that the more clickbaity content should be able to support such videos every now and then. Say: every 10 clickbaity a serious one.
I know it hurts in the immediate but quality is long term.
I’m not a native Italian speaker, but I think “Gioachino” is pronounced “JYOH-AH-KEE-NOH”
Zelo dober prispevek.
Gioachino with a hard c, a "k" sound!
Kisses from Italy, keep up the good work!
loved it from start to finish.
So bobby fischer was right
But would Gary be so much worse than the young guys know? He reached 2800 in 1990.
Interesting… 🤔
um, I don't want to be dat guy. But Morphy was about negative 34 years old in the year 1800.
Im italian and the italian's pronunce of Levy is pretty good
Excellent! Thanks for making this video.
