I still always think the arrival of the eval bar has been one of the biggest boosts for chess' universality. Now people who are beginners, intermediates, or totally inept at chess can watch and enjoy games as if it were a tennis match. Not fully understanding the intricacies of each move but understanding advantages and disadvantages - who's winning and who's losing.
And it makes them feel like they are in a position to criticize players way out of their league 😄
Yes. It used to be so hard to study chess. You had to memorize where is d5, h4, g8... read books that were written in code. Everybody learned in a moment of their life how to move pieces, but it was so damn hard to find ways to improve your game. Than with the internet and computers the game became more and more visual! Chess streamers learned with online gamers how to communicate online, and now there's so many interesting content and fun ways to learn about position and tactics. Chess is simple, elegant and connect different generations and social classes. There's no grandparent playing freefire with his grandson! You don't need the top computer to play chess. You can play chess with old guys in the park, or with handcarved marble pieces, or alone with you cheap phone and it's exaclty the same game. Thanks Gotham Chess for being an important part of this movement.

I agree except for certain situations like when the eval bar shows near equality, but there's only 1 move that keeps that equality. If the move is obscure or hard to find, it takes away from the spectacle of a top player making a move that the public would never find. All you see is that it was equal, he made a move and it's still equal, but in actuality it was a game saving move. I think having someone like Gotham to explain those situations matters much more than the eval bar.
without the eval bar, chess would be as interesting as mini golf
Some day in the future, this channel will be considered a historical evolution of chess. Thank you for never failing Levy ❤
just not a future in our reality
He makes cool videos but having an effect on the evolution of chess is heavy glazing. Settle down
You cant steal my username!
@@pawnzrtasty god forbid we be nice and show gratitude right?
@@gdchewieeHe admitted Levy's video being cool and was just disagreeing with other guy that to settle down on saying about this being evolution of chess.
Nobody does chess history like this guy.
Great job levy.
I actually enjoy these videos a great deal.
Wow, this was a wonderful video! You should really do more of this, 100x better than showing Magnus in every video, it was really interesting and educative. Absolutely loved it!
I couldn’t agree more.
Now I know His name is pronounced "allay-oh- kin". (not alek hine)@@elonif4125
100 percent agree
Video needed more Magnus
Love all the historical references recently! Props to Levy!
Thank you
What a generic comment Corey.
@@oliver-04 lol you here
For real w levy
I remember watching levy cover such historic games back in the day. It feels good to be back.
So good! Cheers to a fellow 'old' subscriber!
How does he know what moves were played 300+ years ago??
@@DerekJ23he asked the players politely
@@10dandaman I’m genuinely curious, did they record games back then??
Agreed! Been looking forward to this for a long while now
I'm loving the historical games. Its what originally got me into chess and your channel. I would love to see some games of Petrosian. He is an underrated world champion. He was arguably equally gifted to Tal but had the exact opposite style. They had many of the exact same strengths but used them in very different ways. It would be cool to see a video discussing his life and/or games
A couple of fun facts by an Italian: first of all, Gioacchino is pronounced more like “Joakeeno” (and yes it’s spelled with a double c, in the video it says Gioachino), and he actually was the inventor of the greek gift: Greco in fact means Greek in Italian, so it has nothing to do with Greece, it’s just his last name but “greek gift” is actually a misstraslation, it’s as if we called an opening that Wesley So invented the “Thus opening” because of his last name. Hope this is clear!
As a Spanish I was creeping everytime I heard "Joa-chi-no". Mamma mia!!! Italiano e spagnolo sono lingue sorelle!
Also Réti is pronounced as Raytee, not Ready and Petrosian is like Pettrossyahn not Petrozhun.
But his name does matter! He came from a region where Greek was often the vernacular.
But "So" doesn't mean "thus", because it's not an English surname. For accuracy, you'd want to translate it from Chinese, not from English.
True
3:48 just a minor correction, piano is quiet/soft and pianissimo is very quiet/soft
there is also mezzo piano which is moderately soft/quiet
In Italian, piano means also slow. Pianissimo is very slow. "Vai piano", for example means "slow down" but it means "take It easy" too.
I’m really enjoying all the historical videos Levy has been posting lately. I hope you make more historical videos in the future as it’s interesting to see how the game has evolved overtime.
I know it doesn't pull as many views, but I love the historical content. I would love to see you cover highlights of previous world championship matches and you could probably brand them with all the brilliant symbols.
I usually don't comment, but I gotta say that this is one of your videos I enjoyed the most. It really conveys your deep passion for the game. I love the historical deep dives and seeing how everything evolved. Only love for 2024, keep entertaining us with this type of content gold :3
Levy got tired of using the greatest chess player of this generation, So he went for the past generations
I am loving all the historical videos, Been a while since levy has been consistently uploading about them.
I’m so happy we’re getting historical videos like this. Pls keep them coming levy. You said they may not do as well but pls don’t let that discourage u from making these. They’re great!
It would be cool to dive into the evolution of ancient chess variants and their strategies and how they worked and evolved into modern themes, like Chaturanga and Courier chess.
Two historical videos in a row, what a gift from levy. This has made my year so far.
Keep the chess history content coming, Levy!
just want to say I can sense your passion and love for the game of chess through this video. The way you speak about the greats who came before is how I will speak about you in the future when I teach my kids. I played when I was little but stopped for many years and the passion to play again and get better now came from watching your videos and twitch streams. For that I thank you 🙏
Please do more videos like this!!! Seeing those historical games and players is always fascinating and this is definitely m y favorite type of chess content
Thank you for these chess history videos lately :) They’re some of my favorite content you make, and they’re so well done! Would love to see you do more of these - maybe even highlighting some lesser-known players throughout history like the one video you did on Sultan Khan way back. Thanks for all you do!
I don't think it's too much of an overstatement to say that this is one of Levi's best TH-cam videos of all time!
Super entertaining, great narrative, love the theme of tying different eras together!
Chess history is simply the best type of content. Just sit back, learn about how this game used to be played, and implement some of it into your own style, thank you for this video Levy.
Best video you’ve made since I started watching a year ago. As someone who joined the chess community in early 2023 a lot of this was new to me and finally gave me faces/stories to put to names when I see openings titles. Thank you levy for growing and supporting this game that gives us so much.
Thank you Levy for all of these chess history videos. I highly enjoy this type of content, make more of it! Levy never fails to bring good historical content.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how levy never fails to entertain us with chess content!!
It’s not “always finds a way” it’s “never fails”
@@Derrickthepeng xD
That too daily
@@Derrickthepeng oops my bad, I'll fix that
Hmmm???
These videos are my absolute favorite and what really drew me into your channel when I first started watching you around 3 years ago
PLEASE make more of these videos
Levy, really appreciate your historical deep dives, hope you keep making these every once in a while!
This channel will be a part of chess history. It has brought so many players back into chess, including me. Thank you levy for helping me find my passion. ❤
I personally love this kind of historical content, very entertaining! I also enjoy it when the evaluation bar is gone, since it spoils a lot
Levy love all of your vids and I especially love this type of format where you cover chess history legends and their games giving perspective for new and upcoming chess players, keep on doing what you do
Absolutely love this! Keep it coming, these deep dives are so fascinating. I'll take this over random elite competition play-by-plays any day, (though those are nice too sometimes)
It would be nice to see a deep wive into the Karpov Kasparov era as it inspired most of the modern day top players
Greco was one of the early inventors of sacrificing THE ROOOOOK
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.
This video and one about Tal were so good bro, I need more of this
Big fan of the recent videos! I’ve missed this educational stuff, glad you’re back at it again.
This might be the best video on this channel. So interesting, keep up with the historic content!
Huge fan of the historical content like this. I also really like when you cover the best games from great players of the past and epic games from the past.
Amazing content. Loved it. I can still remember my early days, studying Steinitz's games and stuff.
my favorite example of the progression and gradual fusion of traditional Tarrasch-esq and more modern approaches is the development of the Tarrasch French (3. Nd2). It started as an attempt to maintain the d4 pawn by any means necessary (with some Ne2 and the d2 knight to f3), but now often sees a Ngf3 line played which aims to sacrifice the central pawn for tempo.
I'd like more historical games, this was quite interesting.
levy this is one of your best videos i gotta say. i really hope that you continue making these historical videos they are your best ones fr keep it going
i just wish this video was like 1-2 hour long … cause would love to watch a really deep dive in the history of chess and you explaining every minute detail about it
I really like these historic videos like the last one about Tal , ive missed these so much so please keep them up, i would like some Fischer game❤
Great school presentation, Levy.
This is definitely A++
Genuinely glad that this year you decided to make more content about chess history
Love this Levy! Grew up here in the Philippines in the era of Karpov-Kasparov, and your video brought back memories of playing and studying chess. :) More content like this!
Brilliant episode mate! Love this history lesson, more of this please :)
Will like an episode on the different schools of chess and a deep dive into how different their chess philosophy is
After reading your book i got 3rd position in a tournament you are the GOAT in writing the books
Levy is just as good as agadmator interm of telling a story, Love that you are uploading historical videos consistently again.
one of my favs in a long time, will be rewatching for sure! keep the history coming!
Levy, been watching your stuff for yrs. Your enthusiasm and love for the game is tangible. Keep it up man, sheers.
I like pretty much all of your video topics ... maybe a little less so the bot videos, but if I were to pick a favorite, it'd be stuff like this. I really enjoy the history and evaluation of how analysis has changed over time. I find it helps make it easier to solidify tactical understanding when you know the simpler concepts the tactics and openings evolved from.
Perfectly timed with agadmator chess history saga lmao. I loved this video btw, please continue these types of videos even if they don't get as many views.
Absolute favorite video of yours. Im so happy you are making these kind of content again. I hope you create more. I also hope these kind of vids would be your best performing to incentivise you.
Absolutely love this type of historical content more instructional than entertaining like the good old days
yay i love chess history content and am excited to see your take on presenting it :D
Hey I’m very happy that you went back into this stuff! Keep them coming.
LEVY! Your story telling ability with these is crazy.
You keep it interesting AND informative
all in one take.
Looking forward to more!
Great video Levy. Would love to see more analysis of each of these generational styles in more depth.
Amazing video Levy, I think we need a full one about Alexander Alekhine, this man is in my opinion one of the most interesting chess player of all time
Wow one of your best videos so far. Amazing content and I hope you continue to make these historical videos when there is an interesting subject
Levy, love the historical deep dives, from the Korchnoi/ Karpov recap to the Kasparov/ Karpov rivalry, some of the best content you’ve put out, keep ‘‘em coming! 👍
I love the historical stuff recently Gotham. It’s a great (nearly endless!) source of content for you to keep the channel diversified and all that
This video was fun to learn how chess came to be , thanks levy !
Loving that you are doing the history content again! Video's like these first really got me into chess back in 2020 and 2021 💜
Yep, his historical content was very nice!
I love the deep dives on concepts or history, it's really entertaining
You Diving Back To The Historical Chess, Brings back so much memories from your 2020,2021 Videos, And it also makes the game of chess interesting, as it shows how chess has evolved :)
We want more of these type of content :)
Levy Rozman? More like Levy Rizzman
Super, what a passion and what a summary. THX for your insparation!
Love this kind of content! Thanks for making and sharing it!
I believe somewhere in the future someone will make a video similar to yours and he will include 2020s the time in which gothamchess was there as one of the reasons that made chess popular simple and fun to the whole world and contributed in making chess that popular nowadays.
A big reason why chess is so big now. At least for me, I ONLY got into chess because your videos are so entertaining. Keep it up Levy!
Loved this video, and hope you'll do more historical deep dives, and then put them in a playlist.
Levy's historical chess videos are my absolute favourite, so happy he started to make them again
I’m so glad Levy covered the Opera Game. I know he’s covered it before on this channel a few years back, but it’s such a historic game that I enjoy coverage on.
You're really a great story teller Levy. The passion and the efforts in making these kind of contents make more chess interesting to watch. What a masterful piece.
Totally agree!
Please keep those videos up, I love looking back at historical chess games!
This was an amazing video. Glad to see what you're doing for the game we love and enjoy. Well done Levy, looking forward to more videos like this.
Haven't watched the video yet, I gotta say somethin rq. Yesterday you put out a beautiful video about Misha, today apparently we gettin some chess history, and I couldn't be happier. I think I'm speakin for all REAL chess fans when I'm saying you're doing the right thing, THIS IS FUCKING CONTENT, MAKE YOUR CHANNEL GREAT AGAIN.
It is crazy that Paul Morphy has been in a giant until 2019!
Love these historical chess videos, going through the ages and showing how a game with simple enough rules evolves over time.
loved this historical video, great content levy. keep up the good work :) 👍
When I watched the first video of the year in which Levy talked about the upcoming content of the channel I thought "the only thing missing from the new year's resolution is some history of chess". Levy never fails to not disappoint.
One thing people need to know is that the book Emanuel Lasker wrote is one of the most comprehensive books you will ever read about chess. It clearly explains the straightforward thinking players had back then.
I definitely enjoy all of your chess content and especially appreciate the history behind it all.
I LOVE this kind of video. Looking forward for more
I just want to say that I miss your commentary on low ELO games. They were both fun and full of insightful remarks.
Levy never fails to fill me up with his immaculate chess knowledge
Fill me up is craazy vernacular ☠️
Very real
Pause
Feedback wise, I really enjoyed that one. Keep em coming
loving this historical chess content keep it up levy !!!
Levy never fails
A couple of things, just about the Italian language
("Pedone Rosso" = "Red Pawn" in my language, I'm Italian):
- in Italian "ch" is always read as a "k", so Greco's name is read like it was written "GioaKino",
- and "piano" in Italian means "plan/flat/soft-ly/slow-ly" (I think it means "slow" in the case of Gioco Piano, as it's a building up opening, especially if compared with the main opening of the old ages, i.e. the King's Gambit... BTW, "Gioco/Giuoco" means "play" or "game").
Thanks for your videos!
Loving the historical vids lately! mixing things up like your openings lol
Chess history is one of my favorite subjects on your channel as there is very little content out there (it exists but is hard do access)
I love these kinds of historical videos you should keep making them
Finally started playing chess just two months ago and your videos helped me immensely to find footing, both in an entertainment and information sense. As a hobby historian, this video especially is a gem to me.
YESSSSSSSSSS! Keep bringing this great stuff! LOVE chess history! Love classic games of the masters!
Such an amazing video, thanks levy. I feel lucky to watch this just as it was uploaded
A really well-put together, captivating and well-narrated piece of chess history, loved it Levi
