I remember the last time I was this early.

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.
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.
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!
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
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 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!
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
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 :)

I feel so honored to be the first comment. All of my hard work and dedication has paid off. Getting the first comment has been a dream of mine for many years, and I would like to thank those who have helped me along the way. First and foremost, I would like to thank God for giving me this opportunity. Next I would like to thank my parents. I want to thank my friend Peter Griffin for being really skinny and always there for me. I would also like to thank my pet tadpole for surviving against all odds for over a week. Next I would like to thank the squirrel that lives in my backyard for climbing trees because that gives me inspiration that I need to get through the day. This is a special moment in my life and I would like to thank any of my unmentioned friends and family that have helped me along the way. This moment will be a moment that I will never forget. I just remembered a few other people I would like to thank; Abraham Lincoln, the fish I caught in the third grade, my light in my room because I wouldn't be able to see the keyboard without it, the internet for letting me go on youtube, my house because without it I would be homeless, and last but not least, I would like to thank all the people out there that actually took time out of their day to read this. I cannot stress how much of a big deal to me this is. I have been trying to be the first on a post for years, but that has not been possible until this amazing day.

To all the kids out there reading this, I would like to tell them to follow their dreams. Being the first is truly amazing, thank you everyone.
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.
