Thank you levy
52:17 – every time I blunder my Queen 😂😂
If I want to start learning openings and responses, do I pick one and work through the developments / responses, or learn a few just to get me to move 6 ish? If one, which one? Ideally someone will tell me not only a good starting opening, but the responses / variations in some sort of order. Hoping for some guidance.
Levy talks about 1400 like they’re 500s
Levy you said the backwards knight move is absolutely abnormal for fourteenhundreds but you've said the words "backwards knight move" in videos so often that I as a 1000/1100 often consider them and sometimes play them.
40:22
Me as a 1200: Oh bring the queen back and at it to the attack!
Levy: see this is too slow and looks more like an 1100-1200 type move so I’m going to play this
You made 400s sound like much better players than 1000s (at least in that first game)
I enjoyed "chess steps" as you show what a master would see, but play with the opponent's leve l.
Again great moments. Thx. I have a couple of your courses and I find that it is hard to remember all the ideas dependent on what your opponent does. Your course has raised me from 800 to 1100 but now I have hit a ceiling where I need to go back to the courses and review them in more depth and try and get games in like exercising to remember what I am meant to do in a situation. Also definitely need end game skills. They suck:) Thx Gotham
this is a great series. I have seen a lot of theory videos (including yours and others) but when you start applying theory and playing more games, these are the kind of videos that really connect with you and help you improve.
That guy may have been 1000 and just fell before he played you
On game 3 I saw the knight move and you said: "if your opponent plays that move you can report them for cheating" :O
Loving these series, I'm just under 1100 and I'm laughing at the positions and your comments. Really helpful 🙂
"Oh man, oh jeez, this this this looks very scary Rick, I'm I'm I'm very scared here by the queen and and bishop oh jeez"
i would have of just put the imposter in checkmate in 10 moves. game 3 but i learned from that game thanks for the lessons.
I saw this video was an hour long. I thought to myself “no way i watching the whole thing”
Well, here i am 45 mins in. Good content!!
Soo informative.
Great series, alot of good stuff here. I'm 1250 right now, I got to about 1050 before regressing back to 900 but in the last couple months I've gotten myself to 1250 but my progression is pretty stagnant. This is very helpful!
Groovy
Thank you for this great content
All the best
First guy was utter trash
At 18:55 you could of traded queens then gone for a rook fork
Love this series!
I loled at 43:00, that not normal high level move that a 1400 should be reported as cheatig if played by a 1400. I would not be surprised to see that on chess com by a sub 1000. Many players there are just so incredibly solid and tactical. Or, checking their moves against an engine……. who knows.
Intro: "In this series, it's different from 'how to win at chess' because I limit my play to my opponent, and hopefully I will lose a game."
Game 1: "Ah, a London. Let's play the optimal strategy."
The how to win at chess videos and these ones are the ones I usually watch. I love them, they’re easy to watch and very relaxing.
i think in 44:40 he can go Nd6+ and take your bishop to not lose that fast
Me: A 1000 player who can checkmate with a king/rook combo and has mastered the technique😈
Gotham you know darn well that you have the naughtiest subscribers on Youtube!! That 900 player really wanted to play you!! I would like to get beat by an IM as well. LOL
Levy, the moment you said cf. '1000 rated player chess is chaotic' I refused to believe it. Wanted to play a game. I did. Analyzed the Game afterwards and saw how the game literally screamed 'WTF!!' by showing me the funpark rollercoaster-like win chance changes happening in seconds. Now I agree. Anyways keep up the inspirational love for chess and your funny eloquent self. Good night from Germany.
I absolutely love this series!!
10:14 he hung his queen with that pawn move. You could've trapped it with Ba6. Just got excited that I could spot it so quickly lol I'm just an 800
20:45 Bh6 best? Cause Nxh6 loses Qxf6 obviously, Qxh6 Qxh8. Not seeing anything else.
One of my favorite series. I'm rated 1273 and I'm finding this very helpful with showing what to do in positions where my opponent makes a mistake. Please keep up the good work!
Levy´s new superhero-name…….**Rozzy**
Quote Levy Rozzy; " – The point of this opening….. This is definitely NOT the point of this opening. No no no. This is an example of an individual who has purchased one of my courses and has not studied them correctly!" Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Oh man Rozzy you always have these kind of comments that makes me fall to the floor and have a laughter-spasm…..
Admitt
I rhino you destroyed the higher ones more than the smaller ones
I think Bh6 is how to refute Qf6 in the second game against mama_roach. Then if he trades queens, you still get the rook with the bishop.
57:00 I saw Rf1 but I'm 1200 in CC and 1600 in Lichess
This is excellent! Although I'm new your explanations are really understandable
23:44 "chess is relatively simple" lol yeah and so is quantum physics…🤣🤣
Not sure you look at or get notified of videos this old, but really hoping to see more chess steps videos. Also hoping they get tighter in rating as you move up. Thanks for the content!
43:32 how is moving the knight their a high level move? I want to get my knight into the game, and it’s the only place I can move it without it getting taken. Seems pretty natural to me.
I always enjoy how chess masters complain about normal fucking hobby chess players with 200 games on the clock just because they don't find the best possible move in the English opening Carl's Bremen system played in 1386 by two chickens… Haha
Just started playing chess again after 30 years! So great learning curve – thanks
as a 1371 there is no shot that 1400 was focused at all, probably nervous
New vedio on this pls
When will part 4 come out?
Interesting… very interesting.
At the earlier levels, it was pretty straightforward chess. There were mistakes, but mostly they played pretty solid chess, just not very deep.
At later levels, it also tends to be pretty straightforward chess. There just aren't many mistakes, and the mistakes there are, are subtle.
But suddenly at 1000 to 1400, the games are looking like mine. Just utter chaos, huge heart-wrenching blunders all over the place…
Why is that?
I mean, I theorize that at these ratings, players are just learning enough to get themselves into trouble with tunnel vision, maybe? But how to move beyond that?
