With this depth of chess knowledge, Levy must be a genius to avoid becoming a GM.
I do enjoy your hysterical content.
This is great stuff!
Just started my chess journey. Any resources that I should use?
LOVE historical content, this is brilliant!
I´m pretty sure it is no accident that Levy pronounced "Aljochin". No cherry for Alex xD
Bigger noses today it seems.
i appreciate you
Hey Gotham, at 33:05 you say Kasporov was the first person to lose to a computer. What you meant to say, is that Gary was the LAST person to learn that computers were superior to humans. The rest of us learned this way earlier!
Бро сними видио плиз, про Хосе рауля Копобланку, как он играл. Капа же даже дебюты, не учил, в чом сикрет его игры) ?)
this is awesome
great content! I’ love to see videos of legends career! Keep goin
Really interesting hearing famous names being placed in order and in historical context.
more history vids please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Levy, been watching your stuff for yrs. Your enthusiasm and love for the game is tangible. Keep it up man, sheers.
Well done! Almost as good as Finegold 😉 Seriously, more historic deep dives will be appreciated.
Interesting. A bit of a jump forward in games from Capablanca to Fischer. One or two mistakes. Kasparov became world champion in 1985 not 1984, and he was clearly not "the first chess player to lose to a chess computer." He was the first world champion to lose to a computer. I enjoyed this anyway.
Great, great great video. So much beauty in it!
Commenting because i want more of this content
One of your best videos ever
Dear Levy, the correct pronunciation of Gioachino is something like /Jo-ah-kee-no/ (Greco was pronounced almost correctly)
😉
Fischer saw that the memorization and stagnation of chess openings was harmful to the game. This is why he invented FischerRandom chess, or chess960 as it is generally known.
Another important aspect part of the history of chess is the creation of FIDE.
The Soviet Chess Machine did not applaud Fischer. Instead, it the truest Soviet style, they punished Spassky. What's as important is Fischer's utter ball-crushing domination of his opponents in the candidates.
You should transcend the eurocentric chess history bro. cover older chess from Asia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shatranj#Mansubat
GIOachino, not GHIOacino 😂 i know, it's difficult
At 28:30, Levy tells us that bobby fischer beat boris spassky in a chess game which had such a good checkmate that spassky stood and aplauded. But Levy omitted the final 3 moves of the game! What a cxxx-tease. I mean chess-tease, of course.
The details, thanks to Bing A.I.: Bobby Fischer beat Boris Spassky in the sixth game of the 1972 World Chess Championship match, which was held in Reykjavik, Iceland. Fischer won the match 12.5 to 8.5, becoming the first American to win the world title. The sixth game is considered one of Fischer’s best games and one of the greatest chess games ever played. Spassky was so impressed by Fischer’s play that he stood up and applauded him after the game ended12.
The final three moves of the game were:
… Rf8
Bc4+ Kh8
Qxf8#
This was a beautiful checkmate, where Fischer sacrificed his queen to force Spassky’s king into a corner, and then used his bishop to deliver the final blow3. You can see the full game and analysis here: Game 6: Fischer vs Spassky – 1972 World Chess Championship. I hope this helps you learn more about this historic chess game. 😊

Super, what a passion and what a summary. THX for your insparation!
No single word on chinees world champion. Honestly he dont deserve a mention…
Thanks for the great videos.
If you plan on doing more historical chess videos I'd watch them all. I feel like there are not a lot of good video resources discussing the history of the game. There's a lot of analysis of past games, but very little discussion of the events and people associated with those games. I really enjoy how you often add extra narrative and context to the games you cover. Keep being awesome, and thanks again for the great content.
Loving the history videos
I enjoy historical chess content, thank you Levy 🙂

Stockfish isn’t AI. It’s just solving a lot of 8×8 matrices
Every Creationist will tell you that evolution is a lie.
It’s “joakino”
Thank you for both obliterating and nullifying the beginnings of Chess in India
do this video for chess enignes!
I like the history lessons, and it brings new ways to look at the game as well. Maybe can start a series where each episode goes over a historical chess player, goes over play style, accomplishments and famous games!
Morphy and Carlsen look curiously similar …
21:50 is dirty
I hear there was a Spanish priest back in the day who could play a bit….
Incredible and fascinationg look into the history of Chess!!! Looking forward to the Fischer vs Kasparov video.
Your style of historical narration and storytelling sometimes reminds me of Dan Carlin's. Chess aside, you really are a fantastic communicator
Lasker wasn't part of hypermodernism .He was just a very good player and when in trouble he often tricked or hustled his opponents
Gioachino is pronounced close to Jo-ah-KEE-no, not Gau-CHEE-no.
Superb, more chess history please!!
love that video Danke
