Kramnik has been a long time advocate for NC castle and they’re putting on display for a massive audience the potential it has and I love that

if anyone wants to analyze with an engine that wont let you turn off castling, you can move both knights out for both sides, move the rooks, move the knights back to the starting position and do it that way. its slow ik

For those who come to comment later, it's a joke.

Some people call it sarcasm. The reason he's never lost to a grandmaster is obviously because he's never played one. How many professional chess players have you heard of who have never lost to a grandmaster? And how likely is it that one such person, if he existed, would be bragging about being better than GothamChess (and not even Magnus) in the comment section of one of his videos?

I'd love to see a video where you grind your way up without castling, seems so interesting!

hanging a blanket or quilt on the wall you face while streaming may be an effective short-term approach to damping room acoustics. the sound pressure level is likely greatest between you and that wall, and attenuation at that wall will greatly reduce the sound that can reach and bounce off of other walls. (this suggestion is based on acoustic theory learned in engineering graduate school)

Gotham I have been a huge fan since 200k. You blew up so much, and I just want to say you have played a big role in my chess career bringing me from a beginner player to a rating of 1500. Much love, and I hope you continue your success.

2:01 “Anywho” - Levy 2021

Vishy is an absolute legend

Anand always comes up with some innovative ways

My idea for alternate rules. King and queen start out equal with power of queens. Only after one dies does the other instantly become king, wherever it is.

Anand is amazing He looks like a young king On fire!

That's exactly how my cousin says "HELLO"

White's strongest asset is not the queen it is the pawn because once it promotes it becomes a queen which is why it's the most important of white's pieces

thank u for covering this amazing game!

“Only rule no castling” D1 takes E8

I thought about this recently, wouldn't it be great if we had a variants tournament?

You help me so much man. You're a genius.

Would love to see hi level players play a different variant where the black king and queen are switched in the starting position. Still very much chess but it would promote more opposite side castling and some openings like the Scandi completely disappear.

wouldn't the hippo be a good opening for when you can't castle?
