This is a poll. For future videos, would you like the game to progress more quickly (less commentary & alternative variations, backstory etc) , do you like the video as is, or would you like more commentary/variations? Also let me know your chess rating if you have one anywhere.
I enjoy the commentary as it is currently. I like the backstory. It reminds me of how TH-cam channels like Veritasium talk about the history to accompany whatever science they are talking about. It helps to prime the mind somewhat. I think its a nice touch.
I can get chess analysis/commentary from any number of sources.. The context, history, and stories are why I watch and subscribe. Oh, and of course, the awesome sunglasses.
I am a new viewer, only watched 2 videos from you so far, but will check more. I like the backstory, and I've also liked the pace of the commentary/match. Part of the reason could be the clear way of talking: not too fast, not too slow, and there's a good rhythm and tone in the voice, too. It is a bit similar to Yasser Seirawan in some sense. (And nice cutting of the video, keep it that way, you don't wanna the viewer to get distracted by the cuts)
Backstories are cool, I do not like too many variations, but like to hear what they really played. And I thought about your glasses 🙂 ... I would stay with it.
Genius psychology ,Kings gambit is the last thing Evans expects, like when he played D4 against Spassky in his World Championship match. Thanks for the video.
I had the pleasure of meeting Fischer one morning in my local cafe... he was eating at a table near my table ... I politely asked him to pass the salt and pepper.... it took him 20 minutes lol
I play a lot of really bad openings because you can easily know them better than your opponent. After his defeat Fischer of course made an effort to know all aspects of the kings gambit - in ways only Fischer could. The black f4 pawn would eventually fall then change into the bishop and queen lined up and the h rook would join the tip of that line then move into the stack on f. The stack only served to force trade. He probably had the position with the h pawn baiting the queen on the board at home. Ending with a stack on the f line was a real tribute to kings gambit. An opening I will never play...NEVER..... haha....
@@squareonechess6939 In fact I think that's why Spassky played the gambit, since he wasn't prepared for e5. Interesting to see what variation of the Lopez Fischer would've played, I know of only one game where he actually did play black in it
so arrogant coment we usually never see in the chess community, you could just move on or unsubscribe and keep that mouth shut. we do like the background history of games.

Fischer only refuted 3. Nf3, but he played 3. Bc4.
Thanks for the breakdowns
Fischer had hopes for the Bc4 line of the kings gambit. He wasnt wrong either. This opening is what judit polgar used early in her career with success
Later in his career Fischer employed the KG and won!

( one of) best chess players ever
sorry for asking, why the sunglasses :) ?
You didn't point out that Fischer played E5 against Spassky which he basically NEVER played
That's a good point! Would have been good to mention.

Spassky was simply brilliant between 1960 and 1970. As for Larry Evans, his contribution towards Fischer's success was immense. Lomabardy too.
Yes he was Like today i dont know Caruana in the shadow of Magnus Spaski was the same Great Tall never beat Spaski so😂
You can also play bishop C5 as black and there is not King Gambite to you 😂
14:53 after Bxf4 why not take the queen? gaining material
Black's bishop counter attacks the queen so it doesn't really make much of a difference
@@adarshachandra5086 thank you. i am a bad chess player, i missed that. which is NOT good.
I’ve been playing 3 years now and I’m 1500, am I trash?
you are just fine, keep playing and have fun, you are trashchesstv tho
@ ya I was going to start streaming but never did lol
Definitely not! Keep it up! Solving tactical puzzles always helps a lot -- its free and unlimited on lichess.org
Why the mirrors?
!!!!!!!!???
By far, the most boring chess channel!
I really like it because of the informational backstories. Each to their own. I would just not watch if I were you.
No
If you’re looking for the go-go dancers, that’s a different channel

Have u ever thought about a wig …..
JUST WATCH THE CONTENT OF THE VIDEO, YOU CAN LEARN A LOT, THAN COMMENTING None SENSE.
