@@JacobsKrąnųg That's such a bad logic. If that was the case then every sports player would be as consistent and great as each other. Every human being would be good kind people. (cause it's a human being's job to be nice)
About the second game, Frank Marshall studied that variation for years, and Capablanca defeated him on the board without any preparation. Just shows how good Capablanca was
Imagine being Marshall and unleashing that absolute prep nuke on Capablanca only for him to be like "Imma just gonna play 15 engine moves in a row while you open up the board for me". Insane accuracy for any year, never mind 1915. Would likely be one of the most famous games of all time if Capablanca had faltered at any point.
At this point I'm completely convinced that there are actually multiple Levys, because there's no way one man can make such high quality videos so frequently. Thanks Gotham!! 😀😀
Levy, your extemporaneous recovery from missing that bank rank mate was marvelously fun and satisfying. This video is a gem. Your respect for the old masters; your respect for those of us who are trying to grasp the beauty and power of chess; your willingness and amazing ability to teach and have fun doing it ... and without editing (!!) ... you’re a phenomenon. I’m very glad I found you and your channel. Thank you.
I remember the last time I was this early. It was just under a week ago, and I was waiting for the last day of the Magnus Carlsen Invitational to get started, when suddenly I got an image in my head so clear, I had to head to the GothamChess offline chat to share it. There were a couple of people already hanging out, talking about whether Giri would beat Nepo, and how fast Magnus would beat Wesley, and I shared with them my thoughts. It's gonna sound crazy, but I was thinking about how Levy would be as a killer in a horror movie. "So you lock the doors and it looks like you're guarding everything, but I somehow find a way to co-ordinate... and I'm just infiltrating through the back window! Hello! HELLO!" It was a pretty chill time, and we all talked a bit about how "danger levels" would play into the whole thing, and it made me grateful to be part of the awesome community that Levy's cultivated around his RUclips and Twitch. So, if you're reading this, Levy, uh... hi. Love the videos and the streams. Looking forward to the million-subscriber special. ❤
Would you cover Richard Réti? He had a playstyle rather similar to Marshall, for example Réti gambit (now known as the Horwitz Attack- Papa-Ticulat Gambit) against the french, Réti's mate (which is insane) and, of course, the Réti opening. A good game is Réti-Capablanca 1924, which is really instructive in how to use the bishops!
Here's an idea: what about a video about Spassky? I feel like the only reason anybody remembers Spassky is because he lost to Fischer, which isn't really fair. I think the guy deserves to be remembered in his own right. If you want ideas for games: Larsen - Spassky (1970), Belgrade, Round 2 Spassky - Geller (1968), Sukhumi, Game 6 Spassky - Bronstein (1960), Leningrad Spassky- Fischer (1968), Santa Monica (this was the King's Gambit game that sent Fischer into a rage trying to refute it). Andruet - Spassky (1988) from the Bundesliga is good too, but it's really only famous for the last move.
since your drama with Dewa kipas, I always watch your videos and play online chess more than 10 times a day. because my ELO rating is still very low (1005), so I need to learn a lot. love from Indonesia, wish you all the best!
One thing I appreciate about these videos is that they are either very lightly edited or not at all. It's like following a live commentary with a super-computer verbalizing the rationale behind moves that can be trickier to follow for beginners. Kudos, Levy!
Levy, your videos got me into chess, and I repeat a lot of the instructive things you've said as mantras and managed from 950 to 1300 over like a month and a half. But even more important than the results I've gotten is that I think you've bluntly gotten me to fall in love with chess. Even when I'm taking days off or don't feel like playing I still find myself just eating up its history and looking over old games and these recent videos have been absolute bangers. I can just sit and listen to you talk about this game indefinitely; your energy for it is magical and infectious. Thank you for all the work you've been putting in despite recent events. Your uploads are the highlights of my days. not paid comment btw kapp
You're literally a content machine, I'm loving the historical games series! I think it'd be really cool too to see a review of a classic romantic game too, like maybe one by morphy, or the immortal game
5:16 Your video being all over the place isn't always bad. I find I remember your goofy songs about bad moves and calling the rook a wall flower when I am playing and it's very helpful.
I’m loving this series! You’re a fantastic story-teller and you really bring these games to life with your infectious enthusiasm and the additional historical context. I otherwise never would’ve known how to even begin to appreciate these historical games. Thank you Levy!!
I am glad you decided to start covering more old games. Chess+History lessons. I love learning about a person through his chess moves. fascinating stuff. this segment should be called '' Throwbacks: A pawn's backstory''. also, you are amazing.
I used to play chess 40 years ago and so became familiar with a number of Marshall's games. Marshall's only weakness was that he preferred to "roll his own" according to Fine - a reference to the then prevalent practice of buying cigarette papers and tobacco and assembling them into a cigarette. He played unusual lines and so suffered defeats at the hands of the top players who didn't engage in such eccentrics. BUT if a mistake was made he would hit you in the mouth with everything, including the kitchen sink. At his passing, the Russian players all expressed admiration of Marshall, including one that characterized him as the "Terror of Champions." A very great tactician.
I love your stream of consciousness. It's like 800 elo chess. Great moves, confusing moves, random moves, up and down but it all cancels each other out and somehow works perfectly in the end.
Second game, Capablanca vs Marshall is really impressive, Marshalls attack was extremely creative but Capablanca defended incredibly resiliently. Even now if this was new position to any GM out there I doubt many would win as white.
These and J. Bartholomew's vids are my faves. Ain't heard from John lately so these are now my main ambrosia. Keep 'em coming because "when the Levy breaks, I'm going to have to move!" '_'
I have a theory, maybe Gotham has 5 more clones, so that's why he can make contents every second, haha, Like seriously man, how tf do you do that? Your so amazingly consistent!
Hey Gothamchess, great video! Can you please make a video about the Bird’s opening? It would be very helpful. Thanks for the nice videos and keep making them :)
Not going to lie, if I had not discovered this channel my love for chess May have died. I’m not a great player, more for fun. But Levy makes me feel like I understand at a master’s level and says things with a tone and diction that I can comprehend. Truly the best teacher I have ever seen.

Teacher: What are you laughing at?
Me: Nothing

Levy, I hope you rest sometimes, because the frequency of your videos is bizarre,thanks man!
Levy: makes video about a queen sacrifice
Also Levy: “Losing your queen is bad. If that’s the only thing you learn from this video, Mozeltov”
Levy, I absolutely LOVE the history content, it is very fun seeing all these old games!!!
At some point I'll go to an over the board tournament where Levy is playing and if he wins I'll just throw an Amazon gift card on the board.
