You should make a series where you and Eric Rosen train a beginner each for a while and make them duel when you both think they’re ready
Agreed
Sounds like pogchamps to me
Nice idea
that time odin and freyja trained two heirs to a country to see who could train the better leader

Wow I didn't expect the best chess player to watch Gotham
No way
Imagine playing a game of chess in 1858 and being 163 years later in gotham youtube video.
Best feeling ever if i had to guess

Morphy must be pretty happy watching this video
P. Morphy vs R. Noob
They probably feel better if they were alive.

random IM accuses duke karl and paul morphy of "degenerate behavior" chess drama continues
@@Thelaretus There was a rumour at the time, that Haydn wrote his 94th specifically because he was so fed up with all the ladies in the front row knitting and falling asleep during the performances. Haydn debunked this notion, but the rumours itself goes to show that not everyone was there for the music and presumably the general public or some elitists got very upset with the general behaviour of the audience during some performances.
He doesn’t care
I agree it's degenerate behavior, and it's immense disrespect with the preforming arts, and concentration would obviously not be at best, but if I only had one chance to play Morphy and he was cool with it I would take it. I guess I'm a degenerate too.
@@Thelaretus To be fair this happens till this day. People pay hundreds of dollars to go to events and shows just to "socialize" and take selfies for Instagram. They don't even care who's playing.
I mean, at the same time, opera really is as much if not more about the music than the stage performance; for large portions of the show it's one guy or gal standing in the middle of the stage singing. So while it's obviously more polite to be paying close attention at all times, it actually sounds like a great time to me to play a game of chess and probably sip a glass of wine while you listen to the music and absent-mindedly see what's going on.
But also, accusing the duke of "degenerate behavior" would probably have earned you a duel challenge, hah

“Qxb7 is a butcher’s move, but Morphy wasn’t a butcher, he was an artist”
agadmator said that right? Levy said scientist instead...
@@peterchamoun7882 It's apparently a well-repeated quote of Emanuel Lasker's.
@@c.seanholliday3153 oh ok
so u r saying magnus is a butcher?
@@rjjhh443 What on earth is this conclusion
This game is one of many reasons why Paul Morphy is my favorite player of all time, it’s very tactical and intelligent but also has the dashing heroic play of the romantic era of chess. Morphy was a modern chess genius without any modern theory. It is daunting to imagine what he could have done in this era with all the information he would have at his fingertips
Most of his opponents were too weak for him, which allowed him to unfold his style as he pleased. Like who plays THE PHILIDOR against a guy known for developing and attacking quickly lmao
This game is not even one of his best, it's just one of his more celebrated. Agadmator did a whole series on Morphy's career that was quite amazing. Check it out.
@@danielboiani288 thanks for the tip I shall
old chess games with Levy's commentary and explaination are better than watching some movies nowadays
Agadmator is very technical while Levi is very passionate, its two great sides of one coin.
Agad you mostly learn, Levi you are entertained
@@hitrapperandartistdababy Agreed,we learn and get entertained in Levy's videos that's what I think atleast 😊
@@hitrapperandartistdababy I learn from Levi as well. But agadmator goes a bit more in depth, and has a different style, that a lot of people, (about 1 million of them) like
@@poisonedpawns-chess1291 Go to Levi for charismatic storytelling, go to Agad for dry humor and him “fixing” something as he starts recording lmao
If you were interested, give this a like, more people will see.
Opera's used to be a social event back in the day. In contrast with today's theatre, where everyone is quiet, they used to talk and drink and laugh, and the music was often barely audible, more like playing in the background, so I can imagine playing a chess game at the opera was very normal
Very true! And especially true of French style 'grand opéra' which would usually consists of 4-5 acts, and go on for four or five hours (including music and ballet performances). Private boxes even had curtains or doors to block the view to/from the stages, if you wanted privacy.
Lovely environment I suppose, unlike parties nowadays 🙉🤦😭🤷

@Jamesa7171 Actually thought lasker said that QxB7 is the best move and that Morphy shouldve playd that.

Imagine playing a game and I mean any game, not just chess. Then 163 years later have fans creating more fans by showcasing that game. Truly immortal.
8:40 In shogi(which is basically crazyhouse chess but the pieces move differently), there is a legit opening where you just cocoon your king. The whole point of it is to counter attack when your opponent overextends.
the yagura
You have to realize that, during Morphy's time, there were no music devices for listening to music while playing a game or other activities, so it kind of makes sense to play chess at a live music venue, and opera was the predominant type of music during this era.

Iconic
Prolly worth 6 pts
you are worth more than even a queen :)
Paul Morphy went soo deep into different lines that he managed to get into a Gotham chess video 163 years later
The way you explain the games is so amazing and entertaining! I really loved the explanation and fun remarks from the "What if I take" question hahaha
GOTHAM: I WILL FEATURE A PAUL MORPHY GAME TODY

Amazing video!
Even though this is not a complete lesson about chess concepts, the visualization and the explanation(Why they are bad) of movements and then introducing the concept("Fundamental" rules) are very instructive and fun to watch.
Keep up the good job.
(:
The Eloquence and Clarity of your lessons over this particular medium just keep getting better. This video is flawless and very informative. Thank you!
love the passion, information and interaction with the audience
You're a good dude, and I appreciate you. I took up chess in middle age and doubt if I'll ever get above 1800, but I do get some of its subtleties. It's like sculpture. The better you are the more you reveal.
Nobody tells a chess story as good as you my friend. I just discovered you and I am totally a fan now. You are seriously talented as a story teller and teacher regardless of your rating ( which is astronomical enough on its own.) I will definitely subscribe on your website doon!
I like these longer analyses of single games
Ty for posting these historical games. They’re educational and commentary is helpful for beginners
I wonder if playing during the opera in the 1850s was the equivalent of listening to music while you play today
does anyone else love how gotham says 'cocoon'? it's just wonderful
Such an awesome video man! With every video you improve something or the other, great job.
What a symphony by Paul Murphy, absolutely brilliant, 165 years later, still gives butterflies in the stomach, wow
Loved this game and your commentary.
I know one of my main weaknesses is tunnel vision/failure to see the whole board. I love how Morphy could seemingly see every tactical line and its development all at once.
So I think studying Morphy’s games could help me a lot. And if anyone wants to create a series of Paul Morphy’s greatest hits videos, I’m here for that. 😉
First game I have memorised. Came to youtube looking to see if GothamChess had made a video on the opera game...and he just made one 3 days ago! What a legend
I visited this channel in lockdown and I have seen every single video of this channel.Thanks for making my lockdown still amazing as I'm getting addicted to chess.
I watch this game over and over and never get sick of it. Your commentary is great.
😎👍
I bet levy became a bit emotional when he said " I mean who doesn't need a supporting cast right?"

The geometry of this game is so satisfying, what a classic
Great game. Love learning about chess history, as a newbie I find it so fascinating how literally centuries old games are still being reviewed and analyzed to this day. Only in chess!
I have watched this game before few times but this has to be the best commentary ANYWHERE. And the beginner lessons you gave were 🔥.
You're worth more than the king!
The conclusion actually is: Duke Karl and his count are bozos and P morphy is P morphy
levy, i love ur videos, thanks for making me start playing chess again after so many years
Great pick! Love these classic games and seeing Morphy in action is magical, great analysis as well!
You explained the king of games "CHESS" in such a beautiful and easy way...technical and tactical things look so easy and brilliant...all the best to your channels....really nice
I refuse to believe a human can upload this regularly, gotham is stockfish confirmed
He probably pre scheduled the videos, that explains why he uploads when it is early morning for him
He is surely alpha zero combined with stock fish and leela
8:00 "It's a bad move, some ppl made a career on it" - LOL #BotezGambit :))
Got a good chuckle out of that.
Thank you for showing these magnificent historical games, Gotham!
Hey levy great video I realy like how you ask questions it is more interactive n stuff can you do more like these 😀
#suggestion Steinitz vs von Bardeleben, Hastings 1895 would be Pog
I would love to be someone who could play one of the best chess games ever and then just sit back to chill watching the opera
I would very much love more of these
Levy,
Thanks so much. The output levels are insane and always top quality. Effort, engagement, entertainment and education, 10/10.
You are the spokesman of Chess.
"Paul Morphy is not a scientist , He is an artist"
5:28 You mentioned the king twice
i love your historical game replays
Yo! Finally caught one of your vids early love the videos!
Once AT&T finally introduces their unlimited time travel plan, Gotham can finally text all these historical GMs and get us the real answers
"You're allowed to lose your queen... Some people got a gambit named after them for it." Cough, Botez, cough.
Cough we know Cough obvious
Cough Cough... I think we may have Covid
As always beautiful commentary on an very iconic and spectacular game.
As a request: the story and games of alpha zero. Just by playing games with itself over and over again to come up with opening patterns for us known as theory is simply fascinating. And then the beauty of these games with all these tactical patterns. You will have a lot of material in these games.
Always a good one to look back on
When levy ask the audience a question like a teacher, and you guessed correctly (and out loud), it was a massive dopamine rush.
The beauty of this match is not just the flashy check mate, but also the fact that the opponent did not even realize that check mate till the very last move.
I remembered someone who played agaisnt Paul once said: "I lost the game during mid game and can't even understood what I did wrong in the opening."
Ofc, Paul Morphy was advanced hundred of years of chess theory.
Loved this game. It was exciting. Every sacrifice was actually an advantage, and I'm even proud to say that I saw several of the major knockout hits early. What I always struggle with, and got incorrect in this video, is choosing between bishop and rook when they both target the same square. In this scenario, I would have taken with the bishop instead of the rook, which would not have ended in such a beautiful mate 🤔🤷🏾♂️
The only game I've memorized. He was so brilliant. It's amazing how a Chess master from so long ago can inspire awe considering the progress of the game since and in this highly technological era. His opposition in this game were amateurs but the way he won the game is one for the ages.
Playing a game of chess during the opera is like playing angry birds in the cinema.
Something ironic: In the immortal game most pieces realized their mortality
i love when levy points to the camera asking for the best move! most people (like me) dont have the initiative to figure it out without prompt!
Your channel has grown so much. Keep up the good work!!
You should show the three passed pawns game from the McDonnell - La Bordounnais match of 1834.
Morphy at age 21: I can play chess brilliantly!
Me at 21: y i missed mate in 1?!
Awesome game, awesome commentary. Which Kasparov game had the most sacrifices, leading to Kasparov's win? I vaguely recall watching one on UA-cam and the number of Kasparov's sacrifices was stunning, partly because checkmate was quite a few moves after the sacrifices.
I've always wanted Bobby fischer vs Boris spassky game 6 analyze from u
appreciate ur efforts btw
I thought this was about MoistCr1tikal before I saw the thumbnail
Lmao same
That dig on Botez's tho 😂
That Queen Sac mate was a work of art. Choices, it all comes down to it. Cheers from Vegas
Your high pitches Gotham 😂😂 love them

Day 3 of asking Levy to cover the Nimzo-Larsen opening.
Unbelievable pace and success with subscribers on chess channel Levy! Congrats for 1M subscribers (8K left when I watched this)!
You're great man, these videos are really helpful, also you're simple humor is actually hilarious for us who gets it 🤣. I think most of the hate are from those who watched your videos right after they got annihilated in chess. I saw one of your video in my recommendation and that's all it take for me to subs.
I was so happy I found the checkmate at the end, all thanks to you Levy. My mantra is checks,captures and attacks and you are my messiah 🙏
Lmaoo same, but i already knew this game very well actually ive pretty much memorized it at this point
Damn, Paul Morphy really got weird with that knight sack
Amazing game. More beautiful instructional games please! These are sooooo good for learning
Amazing dedication dude keep it up !
To recap why Morphy did not play Qxb7, "this is a butcher's move, Paul Morphy was not a butcher, he was an artist"
Day 65 of translating the title in Italian: "La più famosa partita di scacchi di tutti i tempi".
4 days left till funny number
Ne hai proprio tanta di voglia
Minchia, tu sì che hai dedicazione
I need to show this to my friends at the bar and the library
An absolute BEAST, im kinda new to the chess top level but this guy Morphy is something else... Beautifull mate...
I have been trying to appreciate "The Evergreen game" but I can't comprehend what makes it a chess book classic. Feel like covering it in a video?
Huge fan,love the videos❤
Art in motion. Excellent analysis. Thank you! You and that super chill Russian commentator are the best I’ve found on YT. Polar opposites in personalities but the analysis and pace are excellent. Thank you!
yo, i really enjoy the historical videos. Thank you :)

1:51 My comment's going to probably get lost in the sauce but at the time playing chess at the opera would've been perfectly acceptable!
Prior to the 1876 Bayreuth festival, operas, concerts, ballets, etc. were seen as fun social events where drinking, eating, and talking to neighbors all were considered acceptable behavior. Chess, of course, would fall into that same category of social and mostly ignorable behavior. Richard Wagner demanded a higher standard of audience etiquette at his operas at Bayreuth and This sentiment was echoed by Gustav Mahler which carried into the future of modern film audiences who you would probably slap if they were talking to each other during a movie.
Your videos are such a pleasure. In addition to being instructive.
