One of the best chess analysis Ive seen, Im only 1000 elo but what still able to follow along and understood everything because the explanations were on point. Severely underrated chanel
Dear Sammy, your presentation method is excellent for studying opening ideas as well as all stages of the game. Keep up the great work! Your subscriber
Some years ago the Italian was considered a club player opening and no GM would play it in serious games. Same with the London. And nowadays the Super GMs come up with that stuff. We club players were far ahead of our time. 😂🙏
I really like the simple and concise explanations behind the intent and strategy of each move. It makes it easy to understand and get thru the games without being bogged down trying to comprehend complex positions.
Great explanation! Like it! It is recommended that you choose another 20 classic matches of combat players to play chess with Italian openings to explain!
Besides the excellent analysis which is explained so that even a chess dunce like me can understand, what I really appreciate here is the use of poetic language which ornaments the whole presentation.
Well, these games were played by Magnus Carlsen. Garry Kasparov also played the Italian from time to time. You should get to at least 2800 elo with this opening, if not a bit higher.
Counter material after the sequence, white would be 1 pawn down but after rook g1 threating h6, king moves away bishop b2 f6 white has a load of activity just being 1 pawn down and the next few moves would pressure on g7
No offense, a little emotion would go a long way, because it takes a little effort to watch these videos, and you want to make it easy for your viewers. Plus, you have great insight, so it would be great for the world to have that
I can’t stand when people resign from a game. My thinking is that 1. You simply get better by playing more scenarios 2. Your opponent might make a silly mistake and you either win or draw. Is there a good reason why ppl do resign?
The number 1 reason is that if it’s a game between two good players, there’s no instructive value in playing out a position with zero counterplay and a decisive material disadvantage, and the chances of winning or drawing are so slim that it’s actually just not worth the time to play it out.
I see nothing wrong with it, it's mostly engine based anyways. And there are a lot of scenarios the average viewer will not be able to grasp since we are not masters
the problem with this channel is that you don't just talk about the game that was played you go on about a whole bunch of scenarios you think might have been played instead of just focusing on what was played
4:37 ...because it would lead to a checkmate in two with the king blocking the rook’s escape square. I know it’s a lapsus. Important is to see what he means.
Italian, What a classy opening. Subscribed
He's back. The most underrated analysis on youtube
Right? I love pausing right when he announces a combo.
Just subscribed seeing your comment. Let's see 😅
youre so underrated, you deserve more subs; your analysis always help our openings knowledge. keep posting more videos!
The Italian is too complicated for me... The Scotch and the accelerated London system are in heart
The lines of the Italian are much easier than the London. London is just counter play with complicated attack lines.
Great series...really useful analysis and the speed of delivery is perfect !

wow nice comment
Looks like Bacrot was zoned out in the last 3-4 moves
great video!
First time here

Thanks for explaining and going slow enough that we can understand it. Good Videos.
Amazing video, i was looking for top players games utilizing the Italian game and i found it!
Terrific analysis, many thanks.
you breakdown of the games is amazing
Awesome style in analytical chess commentary. 💪👍
Loved the explanations. Sub'd!
Very brilliant games! He plays as a new Steinitz.

Mm
It appears Magnus hangs in there till the end game and then takes over
Great explanation! Like it! It is recommended that you choose another 20 classic matches of combat players to play chess with Italian openings to explain!
Omg!.....u r giving the best analysis in lucid terms....
Nice! I would need to work on my Italian game, but I don't know any opening other than the London ;)
Thanks for sharing that😊
Thank you for this
Powerful explanation!
Carlesn is a combination of kasparov and fischer 😮...amazing accuracy 👌
Thanks so much😊
00:50 why doesn’t Hikaru play knight a 5 and take bishop?
Bxf7 followed by b4
very good tx
Besides the excellent analysis which is explained so that even a chess dunce like me can understand, what I really appreciate here is the use of poetic language which ornaments the whole presentation.
Back to the Game.
Excellent Sammy..
Thanks
I play this opening both as black & white. I am currently at 1200 elo. How high can i go with this opening??
Well, these games were played by Magnus Carlsen. Garry Kasparov also played the Italian from time to time. You should get to at least 2800 elo with this opening, if not a bit higher.
Well done!
14:21-14:30 brilliant stuff
in minute 9:17 why not Nd4? Queen has to move: Qe5+ take, White Qe5 take Nf3+ Kg2, Ne5. Black is winning!
Counter material after the sequence, white would be 1 pawn down but after rook g1 threating h6, king moves away bishop b2 f6 white has a load of activity just being 1 pawn down and the next few moves would pressure on g7
simply winning. @@thuyenlee8995
At 20:18, why cant knight go to f2 check?
You can but then the queen just takes the knight
“now back to the game” 👍
Do a hikaru kings indian defense bro🙏🙏
Hey , what's your elo?
you can't force into a mating net only trick if it can be forced it was in the net already
VERY NICE!
At 6:50 , hikaru could play bishop H5 no?
Truly brilliant moves.
Too fast for me but wonderful content showing just how complexes the game really is.
I really enjoy sammychess. Thanks.
I've defeated him at the home Depot international open...oh,that was Carlos Magnusson lol
Alireza also plays the Italian game
No offense, a little emotion would go a long way, because it takes a little effort to watch these videos, and you want to make it easy for your viewers. Plus, you have great insight, so it would be great for the world to have that
Good job
At 10:59 the program kept freezing.
But u missed a mate when u explained the possibility

chess is the best game to play while beeing high
I want the fried liver attack from Magnus!!!
tell magnus to play vienna opening
Verithanamm..😈
Like cricket or football you commented ,this time you made us embarrassed, 😢
Stockfish needs to teach magnus a lesson!
You pausing the game and doing your own scenarios is bad bro
I see nothing wrong with it, it's mostly engine based anyways. And there are a lot of scenarios the average viewer will not be able to grasp since we are not masters
Hayi. Ngubani londia lona ????😅
Magnus is INSANE BRO
I use Italian is probably 95% of my game
Back to the game ಠ_ಠ
Why all of these modern Adult chess grand-masters look like teenagers?
That look was so funny
Ur awesome
you're gorgeous, good video !
thank🦁🦁🐖🦡🦙🐏🦇
the problem with this channel is that you don't just talk about the game that was played you go on about a whole bunch of scenarios you think might have been played instead of just focusing on what was played
That is why I like these videos lol. I play the Italian when I’m white so nice to see different scenarios for when I see it in games
Why ur face so lit up, like an Indian Steven a smith
I'm tired of back of the game
VERY shoddy. You say White when you mean Black, d3 when you mean d6, f6 when you mean f3, etc. etc. etc. I had to stop watching. Bleeahh!
Chillax... He didn't saw it maybe
4:37 ...because it would lead to a checkmate in two with the king blocking the rook’s escape square.
I know it’s a lapsus. Important is to see what he means.
