I've really loved all the historical games on this channel. I've always been a big fan of chess in the 50s-70s, which doesn't get covered much by Levi or agad. Seeing the Petrosian games on this channel is what made it one of my favourite chess channels. I'd love to see more videos on games from the past

Yours is the only chess channel that I watch. I tried the others years ago, but they lacked your skill as a communicator. You speak clearly and you explain why one move might have been better than another... or whatever it is. You have a very easy narrative style that I find appealing. I've been playing chess on and off for more than 60 years and I still play with my former next door neighbor by text, since we're in different states now. Since you've asked for suggestions, would you be able to talk about the different chess openings and why one strategy might work while another might not? I'd also encourage you to talk about middlegames and endgames. Why is one better than another? How, for example, does black develop the pieces when white has the starting advantage? Thanks for your channel. I very much appreciate what you do.

I would really like to see a long series of short videos on tactics and/or on endgames. They don't have to, and probably even shouldn't be from games by top grandmasters, past or present, they might be from your blitz games, or random games that you came across and found interesting. But they should have some analysis and explanations why the best move or moves are actually the best and what the thought process should have been in order to find those best moves.

Oh damn I just found out about your 135 game best of chess games ever. Now I know how I am spending my Christmas break. You deserve way more subs and views.

Dear Sam, Thanks a lot for your videos that I do love watching. Not only are your chess analyses instructive and entertaining. I also highly appreciate the way you present your content, in paticular the elaborated language you use. Thus, I practice my own English skills while watching. 🙂 I personally would love more games from the past. As an intermediate player the chess by Capablanca, Rubinstein, Petrosian etc. at least appear to be more comprehensible that those of the present highly dynamic style. I'd also like coverages of famous tournaments like San Sebastian 1911, series on a specific player and his/her development, and matches like the Smyslov vs. Botwinnik 1957 world championship. Also, the entertainment factor would be higher if the audience did not know the winner of a game or match in advance. It's more fun to stay curious until the end of the video. Keep going! All the best to you and your channel!

Hello. I enjoyed very much your series of best games. Some of them were not widely known. Well done! I would like the idea of you making the channel a kind of history one, covering important moments of the past, game collections from great players etc or even games related to certain themes. Also, covering topics that are usually overlooked by other streamers would be a nice idea. Having said that, I wouldn’t ask you to make another Fischer saga, since we can find it everywhere but, for example, I would very much like to see the 1927 wch match, maybe in relation to the development of the ideas in the QG. Keep the good job. Have a nice day

Whatever you choose to do, I'll happily watch it. This is definitely one of the best chess channels out there

Dude, this channel is one of the best. Far better than some of the really popular ones.

Your greatest mates video was fantastic. That mate by Rossolimo!!!!

Hello! I'm 2300+ online & discovered your channel a few days ago and find it incredible! Your playlists are just amazing and I plan to watch them all! Good luck for your new videos. I hope people will find your channel because you clearly deserve it. I think the most important for the next is to make the content you will enjoy making! If I could choose only one playlist, I would say something similar to Endgame Strategy by Shereshevsky with lots of general principles because it's useful to everyone (from 1200 to 2300) and very useful/instructive. But I'm not sure how much people would be interested. Anyway, good luck with everything :)

I enjoy your content more than most of the other chess yourubers 👍

Thanks as always, Teach. Keep up the good stuff. 💯💯☝️

I don’t watch Levy, and less and less Agadmator, so I guess I’m not a general viewer, more of an applied chess knowledge enthusiast. I’m an opening/repertoire type viewer lately. My favorite vid ever is Schrantz’s French blueprint vids because I was able to apply the ideas. Watching his gambit stuff can be entertaining too. So I have no idea what new, popular format you can do, but I’m interested in seeing your ideas play out.

Also, the presentation with the two players on either side of the board and the differing board colours is great too. Keep at it!

Just found your channel and its amaziing

Best wishes to your channel !!!

Been subscribed for years and really enjoy what you have done. And there is not too much of it, as there is with some other authors. One thing I would enjoy - If you spot an interesting recent game, not necessarily from the top level, a review of it. Just as an occasional thing. Cheers.

Super excited for this, I reckon you could be one of the few to hit a million in my humble opinion

The key is to be a good communicator. You are a good communicator. Also, I like content with games at my own level. I get bewildered when Gotham or Agadmator take us through the latest Magnus or Hikaru incomprehensible escapade. I think that is why Levy's "Guess the elo" is so popular.

Do something along the lines of showing the greatest moves or a series on different types of rare tactics

Sam. How about deep dives 'of some sort' into World Chess Champions/challengers throughout time. What they brought to chess.......What do you think?

Would say do 3-4 series of the 15 you have in mind concurrently to ensure you at least hit a wider audience (e.g. one for beginners, one more advanced, one storytelling, one ...)

Very interesting video thanks for putting it out, subscribed! Your goals are fascinating and similar to my own. Not so much the part about only looking to do original content, though it's defo an angle I'm constantly looking for as well. But the passion and the drive to reach more people - I'm the same in that I just love making videos, have been a fan of chess on YT for 15 years and now I love actually contributing to the space. Would love to chat/collab some time if you fancied!

I remember you mentioning something like doing a series on great correspondence games? I thought that sounded really interesting, but I don't know if it fits your goal of more editing heavy content. I'd also love to see you experiment, if you really do have so many ideas. We'd be very happy to give you feedback. I love your channel, best of the 20s was what got me interested and I've since watched them all. Good luck going forward!

Good luck!

For future content, I'd seriously consider covering man Vs machine games/matches. Other than The Deep Blue ones, many haven't been analysed by KZfaq channels.

Will certainly miss the best of series, perhaps the most instructive content on youtube. Hoping to see more older games. Agadmator occasionally does a saga of a player, it would be interesting to see you tackle that format. I feel you would have great insight into how certain players choose positional or tactical approaches, and how that evolves over the course of their career. Looking forward to any future content though!

I forgot your channel's name I've always thought it was always Sam Copeland

Would love to see Sam in a series of live coaching of a student (students at different playing strengths), while the student is playing a match against another opponent (unrated game and of course the opponent warned beforehand).

Do them all and do whatever video gets the highest views

Hey I guess since I love this channel I’m Kevin! Learning 1300-1150 elo

What happened Sam? I subscribed after watching your excellent vid on The Immortal Game and then noticed you haven't uploaded for a year. You seem to be relatively active on Twitter so you must still be with us! 😁 Any plans to restart this channel? 🙏

Can you do more karpov games

If you really want to get to 100,000 subscribers, then you have to appeal to a wider chess audience. That means you do have to cover big tournaments and big current games like agadmator does. Then, during the times there are no current tournaments, that's when you can do your deep dives and highly edited content. Otherwise, it will be 2025 before you get to 100K.

Hi Sam.. you are an inspiration for me.. I publish greatest moves from history on my channel.. I also don’t cover latest games and I can resonate with you .. keep up the good work.. this is really one of the best channel that I have ever come across.

I love your videos!! The secret to success > 'Promosm'!!!
