    The King's Gambit is a chess opening that I have long been fascinated by. World Champion Boris Spassky played it throughout his career and never lost, so I figured I'd start with his games in my journey to understand this fascinating piece of chess theory. In 1960 Spassky famously beat Bobby Fischer with the King's Gambit, which spurred Fischer to write his famous article "a bust to the King's Gambit" in where he shared analysis that was so convincing, that most players simply dropped the KG from their repertoire. But not Spassky!

    YOU HAVE NO IDEA!
    The Kings Gambit has became my favorite opening in the past month, and I’ve been watching lots of videos on it, and I even saw this game BEFORE on a video I watched!
    That is the definition of divine timing.
    Thank you 🙏
    Edit: that repeating is great! And showing the queens gambit similarities, great!
    Makes the video longer too, win-win.

    I really love the way you teach in your videos it’s obviously a lot slower than real chess but you don’t ever make it feel condescending and chess can often feel like something so huge and massive that there’s no room for beginners. The more I learn I realize just how dramatic and different each match is! I’ve always wanted to learn how to play and I find myself more exited as I start to actually understand everything

    Love learning with your videos. Perfect pace, mellow m ml focused. It's excellent, I've learned a few openings with your videos.
    Idk why it feels appropriate to mention this, but I'd like to share this story with you:
    I started playing chess about 5 years as a grown woman. My son loved it, it was a chance to learn something I'd always wanted to learn and, most important, an opportunity to hang out with my son 😊 (I'm also certified mediocre at Nintendo (many consoles, MANY games), as well as Pokemon, Zelda, MTG, Nerf gun warfare, and a few others).
    I became increasingly interested until I was reading books on chess & taking notes. Now we play for real - cut throat. I'm so happy I learned, it truly feels liberating to the brain, & helps problem solve in every day life situations. But most importantly, we spend quality time doing something we both love.
