I'd love to see these streamers play the occasional classical tournament like Anna Crambling did instead of constant blitz. It allows us to get a really thorough analysis on how they saw the game as it developed. Anna's analysis of her games, in addition to her mother's thoughts were amazing.

@asdfasdf-mn8iu

Classical games usually require a ton of preparation, that's why a lot of people do not want to do those. Viewers usually find them less interesting, because they're slow in live games and need to be analyzed afterwards in order to be interesting for the common viewer, which is even more invested time. Also classical games take very long so you'll get less content out of any given time. I think that's mostly why not a lot of youtubers do them. It's not like they have much time with how rigorous video release schedules need to be in order to retain viewership on youtube.

@AlexanderNevermind888

8 ай бұрын

I don't think they require a ton of preparation, particularly not for the majority of these streamers. Some of them are barely at 2200 level, others are even lower than that. At that level, they are playing in mainly swisses anyway, so there's not a lot of preparation that they can do. I beg to differ about viewers finding classical games less interesting. People who play chess seriously (e.g. not just online chess) get a lot out of classical games where they can see and learn changes from the middlegame to the endgame. You don't see that in blitz and bullet. It's all about simple threats and counter-threats, and in some cases, premoves. Of course you can get more content in bullet and blitz, but how often do you see these streamers take the time to analyze these games thoroughly. I can watch a full day worth of strong classical games like in the FIDE world cup. But give me blitz or bullet for 30 minutes and I lose interest because often the opening lines are faulty, and meant to "trick" the other player, or it just seems to all be about the quickness of the moves. I remember following Anna's mom, Pia's analysis. It was amazingly deep information. Even Anna's moves had more invested in them than the way she plays during quick chess streaming. I liked the fact that she took the opportunity to play classical games, and let the spectators see her as more of a serious chess player.

@asdfasdf-mn8iu

8 ай бұрын

@@AlexanderNevermind888 There have been multiple KZreadrs, among them Gothamchess and Eric Rosen, who have stated on stream that ANY classical games they play require a lot more preparation and Levy once started training for his GM norms and said, this specifically is beyond him to accomplish simply in time needed for preparation parallel to his usual content updates. So I am somewhat confident in them needing way more time to prepare for classical games. Also, if you really want to learn and analyze classical games, why not turn to the best out there who play tons of classical games, the top GMs? While i think it can be very entertaining to see your beloved KZreadr analyze these games and explain their way of thinking in that it allows a more personal approach to their way of thinking and personalities, chess-wise it should not be as interesting as top games by top players. Also, while there might be the odd 5% or less viewership that play chess seriously, most viewers will watch these games for entertainment first and chess analysis second - at least in my estimation. And for those classical games are just not as relevant. I'm pretty sure if classical games were about as much preparation and would retain about as much viewership as all these others, chess KZreadrs would do many more videos in that category, but usually all you find is KZreadrs analysing top games by top GMs, rarely their own (Eric Rosen is the biggest outlier i can think of there).

Even watching the games, I could see the difference between their classical play and the spontaneous moves we see when they play those blitz tournaments.
