Levy: “One of you is named after pants.” Jean Dufresne: “Those who live in glass houses ought not throw stones, Levi.”

24:05 LCMDLB is extremely lucky that en passant wouldn't become a forced move until later in chess history.
-
The thing I love about the Opera Game is what Levy hinted at - chess wasn't anywhere near as well understood at the time. Morphy was figuring out what most chess players now take for granted. He singlehandedly brought chess to the next level, then retired from chess at 22, because he felt it was a frivolous pursuit. Possibly chess's most enigmatic figure.
-
Honestly. these videos are so entertaining. From the incredible storytelling to the fact that anyone of any skill level can watch this and still follow along. I have never played a single game of chess in my life and don't know any of the theory, but I still feel the excitement and suspense from start to finish. Thank you for making chess so accessible and fun to everyone!
-
I'm always impressed how people can remember full games of other people or even their own.
-
Levy I want to thank you for your videos. Since watching, my rating has gone from 1200 to 800 in a week!
-
The second game is absolutely incredible. Black had the whole army, with the exception of the loss of just 3 pawns, while white had sacrificed both rooks, the queen and a bishop. e5 was crazy to find out. That's a game that really looked unreal. Wow
-
Levy's obviously sick at chess but his presentation and teaching skills and his blatant enthusiasm really make these videos. Really fun 36 minutes!
-
They say a perfect chess game ends in a draw, but I think game 3 is a better example of a perfect game: white checkmates black while black has mate in 1.
-
the octopus knight being so powerful it was worth 9 points of material. That is insane.
-
I just love watching him explain ideas behind their moves, Such enthusiasm and personal like he is playing himself
-
These games were insane. Thanks for opening my eyes to the world of chess. There's so much potential in this game and so many stories to tell. You really created a niché for yourself being a great chess player and a great storyteller. Hats off to you
-
When Levy said there wasn't gonna be any crazy queen sacs for insane mates with the last game, I was skeptical of how awesome it would be, but I think that's the most beautiful game of Chess I have seen in my life!
-
8:25 Levi: "They would move the their king as early as move 4" Hikaru and Magnus playing the bong cloud: "OUR goals are beyond your understanding"
-
Game 4, wow. That was so much fun.
-
Great video dude! I think I've seen most of these games at one point or another but I love how you presented them all and how you strung them together. Thanks!

After Anderssen's death in 1879, Wilhelm Steinitz published a tribute in The Field in which he annotated Anderssen's two most famous games, the Evergreen and the Immortal Game against Lionel Kieseritzky. Steinitz wrote, "An evergreen in the laurel crown of the departed chess hero", thus giving this game its name.” Allegedly.
-
There are slick checkmate and then there is the "3 Pawn End Zone Rush" checkmate that game 4 had. Very wicked.
-
Stunning video! Not only does this thing have amazing games but the blow-by-blow descriptions help modest chess players appreciate the battle of titans. Very well done. I have goosebumps.

Levy, I noticed a similar use of the Octopus Knight on d3 in the Fischer-R. Byrne game in the 1963 US Championship. In fact, Byrne has his Queen and Rook aligned up identically behind the Knight as in the Kasparov game. The knight in this case did not stay there long but was used with lethal effect as a sac on f2 with the game ending at around move 21. That Fischer went 11-0 in this tourney speaks to his prowess at the time. Fischer has a way of burning the Byrne Brothers (pun intended).
