  • @Wisdombluetooth yes agree

  • paused at1:26 its easy man BXf2 and check

  • @lazimofo90 It's not so much that he's boring, he just doesn't try to hype everything like everyone else on youtube does. He knows that the subject matter is what's important and not how cool he looks for making it. It's good to see a guy who's a little humble once in a while.

  • This guys is the best, other ones talks so much and do less, and bore the shit out of you...this guy is precise...gets into action and dosent make your ears bleed like others.

  • i love the way it says in the description that Swiderski died in 1909 and the match was played in 1943

  • swiderski was black... hahahaha

  • No wonder the opponent was listed as "NN" (no name). An embarrassing loss.

  • i dont think swiderskis race should make a difference vorojtsov.
