    Heh. There you coulda played pawn c5 and made him lose a piece and trolled him
    I know why not though. That would've destroyed the lesson

    @45:06, if white king goes to H1 and Queen can capture the F1. isn't that check-mate? am I missing something?

    i'm not even kidding right after this video i played a single match and i got the same oppening

    I'm new but am really enjoying your channel. While "technically" over 1000, I found a number of things in this video helpful, and really liked how you tested TZ after explaining concepts. Felt like a real teachable moment. I missed the Knight could take with check on e4 as well. Looking forward to watching the rest of your lessons and learning to finally abuse Nelson in games.

    Beautifull way of teaching a noob like me. Lessons like these will really help me woop my mothers ass in chess 😀

    um do you like admire grand masters? and are hoping to get there? just a hunch but i think if u wanna reach rhee u can start admiring something bigger .. i mean isnt that why people "admire" god (instead of actually having faith) just to set a limit bar to infinity so they can keep growing? hmmmm just a hunch u cant cross something u admire even though something u admire is something u wanna be like .. ironic isnt it? try putting it to test. btw i know u live in newyork city and are used to people just yelling something and alll ..(vamire gambit video )just ignore if it sounds like a pain .

    Everytime I try to play online Ill have a good game going then it runs outta time.. very discouraging.

    6:58 whta about moving your queen to f3 would that work

    Sorry I just did not watch till he did it before saying. I predicted it

    damn having someone teach you chess actually sounds cool, like actually helping you with your thought process rather than generic advices

    I didn't notice i just watched the whole video lol. I'm a beginner bte

    What a great lesson
    Thank u levy for the time and effort u put in these videos

    This video is SO SO SO informative… thanks, keep it up…!

    Sheesh I’m a 1400 and I learned from this video

    8:50 you actually got to sort of get out of that mindset of playing it safe. At 700 you start seeing more traps and more complex positions. The game becomes more deceptive I would say. But yes taking with the bishop here is correct. But do you actually understand WHY?

    I just watched an hour of chess and I’m not mad. I’m about to start reading books and grinding the board 💪

    Very informative session. You're a talented teacher.

    I re-watch and think about no check rule, that was fun but i was thinking no mindless check would be a better idea because the check when knight was covering the hole was just bieautiful.

    In this line if the king goes where knight cant attack him he have a chance to draw if white decide to jump with knight on the hole after the check lol

    Keep up

    34:57 I'd have gone with knight at d5 so that I'll eventually get the black queen and the game as well

    By the title I thought you were calling ~800 elo "Tier Zoo", which I kinda agree with

    Question: 8:40mins. Why not play Qf3 before Kf7? The opponents queen can't take knight

    Wow I never new tierzoo plays chess and I never expected this collab either!

    Excellent video this one, and the next one too. I wonder why they get cut off at the end? They're very good as you're coaching some very beginer-friendly reasoning in both, which you can learn a lot from as a beginner, because it all starts with the reasoning in your head 🙂

    So 300 elo in my region is 8-900 in that region…. strange

    27:00 can't you just take the knight with the queen? if they take our queen with the pawn you can just get their queen by forking with the king. Free knight.

    U have played half a million times chess wtf 😯😯

    26:28
    Why did u not point out: qd5+, ke7 (forced), qxb7.

    And if knight takes c2, kf1, na1, queen gets forked with nd5+

    one of my two favourite YouTubers that I didn't ever expect to Collab, but they did, and it's great. Like this Collab is just exactly perfect. It's so unexpected, but just works out so well.
    And they also mentioned Charlie, omg this is just the best

    what a great session this was! Thank you Levy.

    Bro I loved this wee thing you done here!!

    This dude definitely played lego chess when he was younger I’m having flashbacks seeing the queen take that took

    @ 36:51 instead of moving bishop from E5 to G7 you should’ve moved your rook from F1 to F6. Because then black pawn takes rook, bishop takes pawn, then black moves either rook from H8 to G8 or takes bishop with queen. If they take bishop then you take queen with queen, then black moves rook to G8 (or blocks with bishop for some reason), white moves queen to E6 check the king (and depending on where the king moves to you could possibly get the bishop and other rook as well), king moves, queen takes rook. If black moves rook instead of taking bishop with queen, then queen moves to D8 for checkmate

    These videos are so good to help listen to the thought process. But I totally didn't get 31:10 where you said you can't take the queen after a pin, due to another pin… I could see that the queen could take on e5 meaning you were going to swap queens.. is that what you meant?

    I'm a 400 and I can draw with my 800 friend consistently but I can't get above 450

    But I am so glad he did that, as you really helped me with tactics.
