The Evolution of Chess 

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

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?

​@@sirchewietheterribleHe 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.

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

Thank you

What a generic comment Corey.

@@oliver-04 lol you here

For real w levy

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

In Italian, piano means also slow. Pianissimo is very slow. "Vai piano", for example means "slow down" but it means "take It easy" too.

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

It’s not “always finds a way” it’s “never fails”

​@@Derrickthepeng xD

@@Derrickthepeng oops my bad, I'll fix that

Hmmm???
