    @@williamrobert9898 "Alekhine won the match in convincing fashion not just in terms of scoring but in terms of how great his wins were" Some of those wins literally fell into Alekhine's lap like in game 11, Capa blundered away a completely drawn game by playing 60. a5?? or in game 12 where by playing 34... Qc7, he gave away huge advantage to white. I'm not saying that Alekhine was not a skilled player. Not at all but reason for Capa's loss in 1927 has less to do with how good Alekhine was and more to do with how under prepared Capablanca was. Alekhine himself said that reason for Capablanca's defeat was his underestimation of my talent. That's why Alekhine never gave Capablanca a rematch. He instead played World Championships against players like Bogoljubov and Euwe and gave them rematches knowing they cannot beat him.

For several turns any greed from the defensive player to exchange pieces would be punished with mate. It was simply beautiful.

    No. kagans/khans/hans/kaans were not kings. rulers, yes but not kings. Because khaganates weren't monarchies. They were confederations made up of tribes, with a level of democracy in them, where there was this voting system in "Kurultais" ( a parliament: oldest chosen person has more weight, khagan and khatun are equals and the rich and the poor are equals in voting) When you have that system (that signifies the later stages of barbarian era, native americans had a similar structure too) that early monarchies and sultanates shit on you really good, because, "in praise of idleness".

    I immediately subscribed. Your commentary is precise and entertaining. Thank you for posting videos. You have great charisma and covered this unknown player with passion in a way that enables his legacy although short, to live on in the minds of all of us viewing these games. Capablanca was without doubt one of the greatest players in the history of chess. Had Sultan Khan been able to read and write, study, plan and so on, then his mind may have expanded allowing him to be the most dominating force in the world. Thanks again for this video.

    I am absolutely fascinated by how Frank Marshall plays. I don't know about him before I watched this video but ohhhh man! Sultan Khan is on a different level.

    This guys games are S-tier. I love Khan and Nezhmetdinov. Two of the guys who could hang with GMs and had great style in their games.

    Levy, you inspired me to make videos. Not directly, you just made me realize that I'm bad at chess and desperately need a new hobby.

    Hey Gotham, you should make a Playlist where you go over iconic chess games and brilliant players. For example, you've made a video about the Sherlock v. Moriarty game but I don't believe it's on any Playlist so it's hard to find. Also you just did this video and the other day you went over Kasparov v world which would qualify as well.
