    My dad once told me a story about a top-player game, where all pieces were still on the board when one player stood up to gratulate and the commentators were baffled before they saw the queen was trapped. I would love to see that game.

    Awesome video, thank you!
    You asked what type of content like this we would like to see. I'd be interested in a top 3/5/10 (depending on how much detail you'd want to get into, I imagine) of the top games, taken as a whole. For all sorts of reason, whether the games were simply very exciting or had a significant impact on the development or history of chess. I know this might seem like a broad topic though and might not be the most interesting to make for you? Anyways - I love your content! Have a great day.

    Much Thanks for yet another inspiring video. Would love if you could make videos which are a combination of your rapid games rating climb series and an analysis of Mikhail Tal games. A pre-requisite for such a video would be games of Tal that you don't know by heart. What I specifically mean is the following: Make a live video where you go through a game of Tal. Before each of his moves, you analyse the position and state your best move that you would yourself make. Then you play the move he made (surprising yourself) and comment on his move. I learned the most from your live games; learning the thought process and etcetera. These days, I found that going through Tal games trying to spot his moves before surprising myself completely changed my habit thinking. I had a rating climb over the past 2 years from 1600 to 2000.

    @mewithmychick6960 2 года назад +4

    31:55 i literally thought about this game when i read the title. Nice.
    But i was also thinking about the game Kasparov vs Topalov in 1999 , where Kasparov calculated an insane 6~ move winning sequence where he had to be creative as fuck to even come up with this idea and then play/calculate everything as sharp as an engine to make it work.
    But i guess there wasnt really ''one'' great move wich was outstanding but rather the whole thing itself.
