As shown in these games he makes a lot of odd-looking moves where noone has a clue of what he's doing but he ends up in a winning or drawing position. It's different to the "knocking on the door" style of most players where they keep trying to poke at weaknesses hoping something will come up, some tactical thing or combination while Vishy wins by magic.

Ask Vishy himself. He would attest.

Levy idk if you’ll see this but, thank you for the Scandinavian Defence course, I’ve just used the free part but that has helped me a lot, I’ve climbed from 800 to 880 in blitz and 1100 to 1190 just playing the the scandi and the London, people at this level don’t really know what to do against the Scandi so it gives me quite a good position after the opening. Cannot get the whole course😢 but the free sample is good enough for my level to progress, again Thanks!!

Look at the time in the first game!!!Very impressive to pull for an old player to pull it off against a blitz God like hikaru💪

Great video Levy I appreciate the smart explanation recap rather than exaggerated gestures and dumbing yourself down to reach the audience. This felt like a video you made two years ago which I think were so much better. I wasn't a sub then but I've watched them. I'm just saying you've made a lil money screw the doing what the stats say works all the time. Thanks

Both fascinating and deep games. I find your surveys of master games (historical or otherwise) most instructive. The second game in this video was particularly inspiring. More of those please! BTW, I don't think 54 is old by any stretch. I am 69 and a reasonably strong club player: I also play a weekly match with an 83 year old, very strong club player, and we have reasonably respectable games... It would be great to have more games by 'old' players reviewed on your channel, especially by Smyslov and Korchnoi, neither of whom ever seemed to 'retire'!

Classical Chess is the most respected and so so difficult because it needs such stamina.

Hey Gotham, really like the Layout out on this video with the players names on the left and the chess board more centered. Please use it more

I'm 23 and can relate to the ol back pain, etc. Makes you wonder how we survive till 70/80 or so

Korchnoi was also insane in his old age. Potentially the best player to never get the championship.

Dude did you see the clock at the end of the first game

can't really remember another video that Gotham devoted to Vishy Anand like from the Chess History playlist. been hoping he does one eventually
