One of the best chess analysis Ive seen, Im only 1000 elo but what still able to follow along and understood everything because the explanations were on point. Severely underrated chanel
Some years ago the Italian was considered a club player opening and no GM would play it in serious games. Same with the London. And nowadays the Super GMs come up with that stuff. We club players were far ahead of our time. 😂🙏
Dear Sammy, your presentation method is excellent for studying opening ideas as well as all stages of the game. Keep up the great work! Your subscriber
Great explanation! Like it! It is recommended that you choose another 20 classic matches of combat players to play chess with Italian openings to explain!
Counter material after the sequence, white would be 1 pawn down but after rook g1 threating h6, king moves away bishop b2 f6 white has a load of activity just being 1 pawn down and the next few moves would pressure on g7
Well, these games were played by Magnus Carlsen. Garry Kasparov also played the Italian from time to time. You should get to at least 2800 elo with this opening, if not a bit higher.
I really like the simple and concise explanations behind the intent and strategy of each move. It makes it easy to understand and get thru the games without being bogged down trying to comprehend complex positions.
Besides the excellent analysis which is explained so that even a chess dunce like me can understand, what I really appreciate here is the use of poetic language which ornaments the whole presentation.
I can’t stand when people resign from a game. My thinking is that 1. You simply get better by playing more scenarios 2. Your opponent might make a silly mistake and you either win or draw. Is there a good reason why ppl do resign?
No offense, a little emotion would go a long way, because it takes a little effort to watch these videos, and you want to make it easy for your viewers. Plus, you have great insight, so it would be great for the world to have that
I see nothing wrong with it, it's mostly engine based anyways. And there are a lot of scenarios the average viewer will not be able to grasp since we are not masters
the problem with this channel is that you don't just talk about the game that was played you go on about a whole bunch of scenarios you think might have been played instead of just focusing on what was played
4:37 ...because it would lead to a checkmate in two with the king blocking the rook’s escape square. I know it’s a lapsus. Important is to see what he means.
Italian, What a classy opening. Subscribed
He's back. The most underrated analysis on youtube
Right? I love pausing right when he announces a combo.
Just subscribed seeing your comment. Let's see 😅
youre so underrated, you deserve more subs; your analysis always help our openings knowledge. keep posting more videos!

Great series...really useful analysis and the speed of delivery is perfect !
Looks like Bacrot was zoned out in the last 3-4 moves
I really like your commentary; it’s perfect

wow nice comment

I think your vids are the best...they keep my attention 100% of the time!
The Italian is too complicated for me... The Scotch and the accelerated London system are in heart
The lines of the Italian are much easier than the London. London is just counter play with complicated attack lines.
great video!
Extremely helpful analysis for this chess player, thank you. :-) Subscribed!
Very instructive comment of these games. Thank you.
Terrific analysis, many thanks.
It appears Magnus hangs in there till the end game and then takes over
I recently discovered your channel. Your videos are very interesting and informative! Keep it up :)
First time here
You got a like comment and a subscription
Amazing video, i was looking for top players games utilizing the Italian game and i found it!
Thank you very much,Sammy and you are the best commentator in year-2023!
God.bless.you-Sammy!
you breakdown of the games is amazing
Thanks for explaining and going slow enough that we can understand it. Good Videos.
Awesome style in analytical chess commentary. 💪👍
14:21-14:30 brilliant stuff
Very brilliant games! He plays as a new Steinitz.
Back to the Game.
Great explanation! Like it! It is recommended that you choose another 20 classic matches of combat players to play chess with Italian openings to explain!
At 20:18, why cant knight go to f2 check?
You can but then the queen just takes the knight
Thank you for this
in minute 9:17 why not Nd4? Queen has to move: Qe5+ take, White Qe5 take Nf3+ Kg2, Ne5. Black is winning!
Counter material after the sequence, white would be 1 pawn down but after rook g1 threating h6, king moves away bishop b2 f6 white has a load of activity just being 1 pawn down and the next few moves would pressure on g7
simply winning. @@thuyenlee8995
Omg!.....u r giving the best analysis in lucid terms....
00:50 why doesn’t Hikaru play knight a 5 and take bishop?
Bxf7 followed by b4
you can't force into a mating net only trick if it can be forced it was in the net already
Carlesn is a combination of kasparov and fischer 😮...amazing accuracy 👌
I play this opening both as black & white. I am currently at 1200 elo. How high can i go with this opening??
Well, these games were played by Magnus Carlsen. Garry Kasparov also played the Italian from time to time. You should get to at least 2800 elo with this opening, if not a bit higher.
“now back to the game” 👍
Thanks so much😊
At 6:50 , hikaru could play bishop H5 no?
Loved the explanations. Sub'd!
Thanks for sharing that😊
I really like the simple and concise explanations behind the intent and strategy of each move. It makes it easy to understand and get thru the games without being bogged down trying to comprehend complex positions.
Mm
Powerful explanation!
Excellent Sammy..
Thanks
Nice! I would need to work on my Italian game, but I don't know any opening other than the London ;)
very good tx

Hey , what's your elo?
I can’t stand when people resign from a game. My thinking is that
1. You simply get better by playing more scenarios
2. Your opponent might make a silly mistake and you either win or draw.
Is there a good reason why ppl do resign?
VERY NICE!
Truly brilliant moves.
Well done!
I really enjoy sammychess. Thanks.
At 10:59 the program kept freezing.
Alireza also plays the Italian game
Too fast for me but wonderful content showing just how complexes the game really is.
Do a hikaru kings indian defense bro🙏🙏
chess is the best game to play while beeing high
Stockfish needs to teach magnus a lesson!
tell magnus to play vienna opening
I've defeated him at the home Depot international open...oh,that was Carlos Magnusson lol
Good job
I want the fried liver attack from Magnus!!!
But u missed a mate when u explained the possibility
Back to the game ಠ_ಠ
Verithanamm..😈
Like cricket or football you commented ,this time you made us embarrassed, 😢
No offense, a little emotion would go a long way, because it takes a little effort to watch these videos, and you want to make it easy for your viewers. Plus, you have great insight, so it would be great for the world to have that
I use Italian is probably 95% of my game
That look was so funny
Hayi. Ngubani londia lona ????😅
you're gorgeous, good video !
thank🦁🦁🐖🦡🦙🐏🦇
Ur awesome
You pausing the game and doing your own scenarios is bad bro
I see nothing wrong with it, it's mostly engine based anyways. And there are a lot of scenarios the average viewer will not be able to grasp since we are not masters
Why all of these modern Adult chess grand-masters look like teenagers?
Why ur face so lit up, like an Indian Steven a smith
the problem with this channel is that you don't just talk about the game that was played you go on about a whole bunch of scenarios you think might have been played instead of just focusing on what was played
That is why I like these videos lol. I play the Italian when I’m white so nice to see different scenarios for when I see it in games
VERY shoddy. You say White when you mean Black, d3 when you mean d6, f6 when you mean f3, etc. etc. etc. I had to stop watching. Bleeahh!
Chillax... He didn't saw it maybe
4:37 ...because it would lead to a checkmate in two with the king blocking the rook’s escape square.
I know it’s a lapsus. Important is to see what he means.
