      @@amanhasnoname1052 the quote comes from the game played on the first episode, where Lelouch enters an already endgame situation where playing a defensive king move is one way of checkmating while flexing. He says it again against his brother, and then it's actually the best move, bu then Schneizel plays an illegal move to mindfuck him

      It's always satisfying when the king saves the day in the endgame. I played a game recently where I was dead lost, only king left, but opponent made a mistake with positioning. Opponent had bishop and knight, he chose to put them next to each other, one square away from my king. I move king beside the two, bishop couldn't defend knight, knight couldn't defend bishop, other king was too far away, therefore fork, therefore one of the two will be taken and that is a stalemate by insufficient material. My favorite non-win ever.

    I absolutely love these games from history. Even though I’ve studied and analyzed many of them, it’s always fun to watch your content on them. However, I thought it could be fun if you could cover some historic tournaments, much like your commentary on modern tournaments. For example, Bobby Fischer’s historic first US Championship, or the 1959 Candidates Tournament. Plus, this way you won’t have to make an entire video on just one game (even though some games are truly deserving of that).

    Petrosian vs Unzicker with 4 king moves is also pretty interesting.

    In the late eighties, There was Kasparov and Karpov. Jan Timman was considered Te Best of The Rest. And he was. Actually he played a match against Karpov in ...I think 1993...for the FIDE world title. Kasparov and Nigel Short had their own association...so Karpov and Timman played. Timman lost but it was a nice match. I actually saw 2 games of K and T in Zwolle Netherlands. Timman was one of the very best players in that Era. You can look it up. Just write ...Jan Timman...and you'll see wat a chessplayer he was.

    Reminds me of Tarrasch-Reti, Vienna 1922. Also Alekhine-Yates, where white's king E5 traps a rook.
