I love how you give interesting background information about the players while barely drifting away from the explanation/analysis. Your videos have helped me improve dramatically AND become more interested in chess. I didn’t know who capablanca was before you but now he’s my favorite! I also hate complicated chess and weird openings. Thank you, GM Igor Smirnoff!

Thanks for showing this match! Interesting background trivia. Great commentary in all aspects too. It's really hard to see where those pawn sacrifices will eventually lead when they look so innocent and small moves.

Rook to e1 was insane !! Thanks for explaining, Igor. Needless to mention, I would not have understood it.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIkEmENd0DM&t=550">9:10</a> the definition of a brilliant move is that it's the best move, mostly the only winning/not losing move that is "hard to see"
