    Levy slipping in chess is a mandatory subject for kids in Armenia lmao dead
    He is our anarchy chess GOD

    yes, yes there are comments in the comments section.

    If I was down two bishops In a rook and bishop endgame I too would resign.

    Imagine being a 2500+ rating blitz chess player and you find yourself in gothamchess's video with him talking about how he crushed you

    Levy you are one of the best teachers i know. Thank you for sharing, great analysis as always, it was a pleasure to watch.

    No one can beat harry potter teaching chess spells

    when i play every move of opponent comes out of syllabus 🙂

    Jews can calculate like no other but rather money than chess.

    I just wanna say, these types of videos help so much. May I say as a novice in the game. Keep it up Gotham!

    Most helpful chess video I’ve seen yet, and I’m a beginner. Thanks @gothamchess

    8:04 "At 670 there's no such thing as a Sicilian Defense"
    It's just a Silly Defense

    I can’t say if this experience is for everyone but as someone who’s started gaining a greater interest for chess over the past 3 days I can say my biggest mistake so far is treating all of my pieces like they’re my queen and needing to retreat them instead of looking for those one moves that will defend my piece and shut down my opponents move

    Min 16:40
    You could have given a mate in 2 moves instead of hunting the king
    Queen check to h8
    The black takes with the bishop
    And then rock to h8 Checkmate

    I'm confused….Levy missed checkmate 16:46 – Qh8+ Bxh8 Rxh8#?

    There are indeed comments in the comment section

    at 26:20 first move i saw was knight sac that has to be taken or rook hung takes back with pawn cant stop white from taking rook and promote

    Chess = Intelligence + Amazing working memory + Short term memory +Long term memory .

    Please don't deny memory in chess.

    Ok so i am 500 i made a new account at advanced and i beat a 1800😅

    9:20 : I think you meant to say " Knight can't move" and not "King can't move".

    i did a very normal and casual opening instead. i did the Queen's Gambit Declined: Semi-Slav Defense, Accelerated Move-Order, 4.e4

    i feel insane after learning this i have been forking my oppents checks for winning queens at 600 elo i forked 3 times and force win a queen in 1 game

    I’ve heard of checks, captures and attacks from you Levi.. but what is the process? That must be what I’m missing!

    If our students studied Chess instead of LGTBQ, in 7th grade that would be great.

    Confused chess beginner here. At 9:21, did he intend to say "The Knight can't move!" ? I'm concerned I miss the point, as the King can move, but he shouldn't, that's what he meant, right? – Top lesson, Levy!

    Im letting you know that there ARE comments in the comments section!

    11:07 is checkmate with the rooks only and still checkmate with the bishops alone

    Hi, I am still learning how to play. I can beat the computer at very skilled, but against humans I sometimes fail to understand when piece mobility is enough compensation for sacrificing a piece in the middle game. I'd appreciate an explanation with some examples. Thank you.

    I keep finding that I'm planning these moves and then my opponent does something awful that I wasn't expecting. For example, taking one of my pieces with a bishop would also attack another one of my pieces across the board but then they take with a pawn, seemingly doing nothing of value for themselves but completely ruining what I planned.

    thanks i was finally able to beat my 1.5k elo friend

    Could you please make a video about improving visualization?

    Harry Potter after graduation teaching magical chess tactics 😂😂😂

    18:07 I found qh8 bishop takes queen and ruck takes bishop checkmate

    watching this because I blundered my queen two games in a row today 😅

    I love your videos even I love chess

    As the great Hikaru says it “Takes, takes, takes, takes, takes, takes, and that should by mate.”
