About

On my channel you will find an in-depth analysis of my favorite classic chess games. Classic games are much more instructive than the modern ones, as it is much easier to follow the strategic plans and their gradual implementation. Modern top-level grandmasters make much less mistakes than their predecessors, know everything about their opponent’s strategic plans and typical tactics and prevent these plans from being implemented, while the lower-rated viewers have no clue about these plans, as all these strategic and tactical ideas stay behind the scenes. Thus, chess classics is essential for anyone who wants to get a deep understanding of positional chess, strategy, tactics, develop intuitive thinking and recognize typical strategic and tactical patterns. Classic games are a treasure house of the deepest chess wisdom and by studying them you will also develop a better understanding of the modern high-level chess.
