A youtube channel for old chess games

Dear all,

I have tried to create a youtube channel for old chess games of the likes of Morphy, Lasker, etc. There will be some new games as well, but a lot of the old chess beauties will also feature.

If you could listen to an Indian accent, then do check out the channel here - www.youtube.com/channel/UCPqkQ8nRqq7WuBvdr_OVgbA

Its a new channel and just a few videos are up, but the target is to try and upload atleast one video everyday.

I know shameless promotion is not what you people want, and I do apologise, but hey, one has got to get the word out somewhere.

The idea is to keep the vids crisp and short so that everyone could easily watch some old masterpieces of old chess players.
I gave your video a like. Keep up the good work!
I watched this one when it had only one view. Bobby Fischer vs Boris Spassky, Game 6 World Championship.

Enjoyed it very much. From a fellow YouTuber, thanks for producing these videos!

Hey, thank you for the kind words guys. If you feel the videos are worth a watch then request you to kindly share them so the word spreads.

Regards
Is it just me or is the video very soft? It's quite hard to hear.
I am a very soft spoken person in general. I will try and speak louder going forward.
If you take requests can you do Morphy vs McConnell where he played the French defense. Here's the pgn.

@NeverBeenTimid Sure, I will look into this game. Also if you want to post requests could you please post them on the youtube page of one of the videos. In this thread they could get missed by me.

Also I will definitely look into some of Tal's games soon.

Also to let you know that the latest video is now up www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbk1IWxeK-s&t=355s. Its the game between Rotlewi and Rubenstein and features one of the strongest attacks in chess history.
