what is going on with his hair? Do you think he had a hair transplant or something?
It is posible to play the ponziani on a Rui Lopez opening ?
Can be posible that I played the poziani on a ruiz lopez opening?
@gothamchess if your name was Carl your YouTube name could be Carl Kann lmao
all my homies love the wandering queen
Make videos about 100 endgame you must know
Hho agree like
Day 178 of writing a pronunciation of 'Zwischenzug' in Russian for Levy:
ЦВИШЭН ЦУГ (ts-vishen-ts-oog)
Bonus: Zugzwang – ЦУГ ЦВАНГ (ts-oog ts-vang)
8:54 is qa4 better than b4 because it doesn’t allow nxc3?
$76,000 just in two weeks Mrs Christine Norine Martin you are so amazing.
Got my elo today , 1633 ! ”How to win at chess” helped me a lot on the way, thanks🙏
I pause the video with one second left every time, I remain with the video in this position for as long as I want. I’ll be damned if I let Levy tell me what to do. “Get out of here” SMH he’s not even a grandmaster
you could,ve also shown adhiban's b3 9 move win against david navara
fishing pole trap against ruy is cool and the fools mate is the fastest checkmate
28:32 also an important line to show is Queen d2. You can take on b7 anyway and if Queen c3 you pin with the same bishop
I love a good recap, but it's refreshing to get more instructional content. Could you please think about doing another opening video? Possibly revisiting the Catalan?
aaaaaaah thank you
suprised the tennison gambit wasnt included as most moves except for the scandi are the most obvious
38:13 killed me. Haha. GJ Teaching us unsound chess and annoying the world's greatest GMs. Love the memes.
im just vibing at 900 elo points haha
I'm sure you get a ton of people saying positive things… but your channel has really reinvigorated my love of chess. Even more than that, it has been the springboard to rekindle a friendship (I am chatting nightly about chess strategy to get better haha). Thank you so much for the amazing content.
Also, chat/commenters, thanks for the entertainment. Watching the "guess the elo" or subscriber games have been wildly entertaining. I appreciate that hours of content you have helped create. Now I'm back to watching without commenting!
Légal Trap is a classic, can go something like:
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 d6 3. Bc4 h6 4. Nc3 Bg4
5. Nxe5 Bxd1 6. Bxf7+ Ke7 7. Nd5#
OMG I LOVE THE BLACKBURNE-SHILLING GAMBIT. Another youtuber showed it to me. "Chess Talk". Ive won with this trap SOOOO many times
I like the Halosar trap, a variation on the Blackmar Diemer gambit. I've won with that multiple times. A brutal Queen sac mate.
Old Benoni Trap?
Holy crap… I just got completely demolished the other day by what I now realize was the Ponziani trap!
Harden is def the queen lol
Love your channel man 👍
For Chess dot com leagues games need 11 moves.
Looked up which Grandmaster lost against the English opening in 10 moves and it was Karjakin lmaooo
I like when he says "I'm so smart."
You should do a mini series on tactics for different pieces or openings
I've watched you almost every day for months and only now realized I'm not subscribed. Thank you for the reminder Gotham Subscriber
lol james harden and joel embiid
Imagine not including all the kings gambit traps
I like these recently longer videos, keep up the good work
My favourite trap with white is the Bishops Opening – Boi Gambit. It avoids a symmetrical game which rules
e4 / e5
Bc4 / Bc5
d4 / exd4
Bxf7+ / Kxf7
Qh5+ winning back the bishop on c5 and checkmate/material loss can soon follow:
…g6
Qxc5 / Nc6
Nf3 / d6
Qd5+ / Be6 ?!
Ng5+ !!
Black loses the bishop and can walk into checkmate or a royal fork here.
Thought I’d share, felt pog knowing one that wasn’t mentioned 8)
trash tutorial
It's not a Levi's video if he doesn't start it with "Ladies and gentlemen, chess is a (very) hard/difficult game"
i love chess,i think Magnus is and will be for 50 years the king of chess,and u ar the God of youtube chess content.Have been watching all your videos from the beginning,u are a blessing.
In all my years of online chess I got the Albin trap exactly once, against an 1800. It felt so good.
Hey Levy!
Lately I wanted to join an Open Tournament in real life, because I think it would be a fun experience and I guess I would have some chances, because I am like 1600 cc rating. The problem though is, that I'm not quite sure if I just walk to the tournament hall and register like in the "Queen's Gambit ", or if I have to be in a club, which I'm unfortunately not. Thank you Levy (or any other kind commenter) 🙂
I like your voice and accent Levy
I really fell like playing the first one with knight C6 is a very bad idea…
I was sick of getting destroyed by stafford and learned how to refute it so i love how much people play it now 🙂 I just make sure to block black's dark bishop with pawn pushes (c3, d4).
Example of a line i see a lot:
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Nxe5 Nc6 4. Nxc6 dxc6 5. d3 Bc5 {dangerous stafford bishop} 6. Be2 h5 7. c3 Be6 {whatever move} 8. d4 …
White is +2 here and there are no dangerous stafford lines.
chess is really a game for sly people I give you my queen but I would like your kings head in return
I am not really criticising Gotham, but how did we go from "if you are worse positionally, solve your problems dynamically" to "checkmate your opponent in 10 moves or less" ?
legit have a chess competition coming up in a month, just what i needed, keep pushing instructive content like this, thank you!
38:50 man gow do you know me??
There is also the Légal Trap with white. Mate in 7 (or 6) with a queen sacrifice.
1. e4 e5, 2. Ac4 d6, 3. Cf3 Ag4, 4. Cc3 g6? 5. Cxe5! Axd1? 6. Axf7+ Re7, 7. Cd5++
Won a couple of games with it, but felt like cheating. (also I go for the Scotch Game usually)
HAHA You didn't show Queens gambit trap tho, whatever nice traps
You need to do a video on some of the theory behind the "Bong Cloud." Can you also explore the "Stoner Sicilian?" Thanks
