game analysis

The major tournaments sport the top players, and everyone is focused on following the likes of Carlsen, Nakamura, Giri, and Caruana. The calendar is full of events at the top level, and these players, in a way, monopolize the public's attention. Of course, these are chess geniuses, and it's impossible to say they don't play the best chess. But there are many other players, those classified as "second tier" GMs or not Super-GMs, capable of playing outstanding games. These are the "Unlikely Heroes" that GM Yermolinsky presents in this new, fantastic video series.
