This game is chess history and even 160 years after it was played is still talked about.

I'm pretty sure that around the year 2170 people will talk about Tryfon Gavriel AKA Kingscrusher and how he entered chess history in the early 21st century with his highly entertaining and educational videos which revolutionized the way chess was made available and accessible to the general public in the years to come.

[sybietube]

All my life I was looking for a commentary for chess like you do. Which opens the world of this insane game to me in such an clear and understandable way. Honestly I appreciate your work on all your videos here! big ups m8!

[YtubeUserr]

Pfft! I once played a forced-mate sequence in 15 moves where i sacrificed the queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights and 7 pawns and mated with the remaining pawn.

[dancehallc]

very interesting how Houdini couldn't find e5, but once you show it the evaluation shifts to white's favor.

[tobolskwildnet]

Realy lesson of chess on play gambit King. Amazing play and excellent explain! a bomb of Knowledge. Thx Kingkrusher, i'm very impressed...

[herpderpmonkey]

7:00 why cant black go c6 to kick the bishop?

[blackbtty123]

Please keep up this series on classical games KC. I am thoroughly enjoying it. Might I suggest another Anderssen classic, The Evergreen Game?

[Deecee022]

Mr KingCrusher, could I get a request? Could you please give a commentary and analysis on the game "Krum Georgiev vs Garry Kasparov (1980) B96. I find that game quite interesting but I don't know the thing like: "why that move?" I would really appreciate a good analysis from you for me to learn chess better. Thanks :)

[illusion887]

I love these immortal games Mr. Kingscrusher!! Keep em coming.

[jtdavis62]

I've always thought this game should have been called "The Immortal Trap."
