    I am 1700 and in a chess club but these videos in the beginning are still so astounding xd…

    The waffle House has found its new host

    I am sorry but whatever this is It is teaching u the human way but to defeat a bot it takes far more than human logical reasoning

    2:53 if the opponent pushes his pawns on the right side, you lose a piece.

    hey um..wht is the thing where you point out the pieces and there's like lines on the chess board..i really hope you get what am saying..

    I knew top players are great at calculations but I haven't really seen it much in real time like that. Hikaru's calculation is really impressive here in those few seconds. I wouldn't be able to see it in an hour. My mind usually gets stuck after calculating 3 moves, I don't know which move was which and where the pieces are anymore. I don't think I have that ability as I seem to lack the same ability in math. When it gets past 3 operations I've always had to make some notes to see where I am in those equations. I guess calculating like the pros is similar to being able to solve complex mathematical equations without a piece of paper, just visualizing it. I was pretty good at math, just lacked the brain power to visualize too much ahead so it took me ages to finish tests.

    This may be an older video but I’m elbo deep in the addiction and love your style!

    why the fuck are you so pale you look terrible

    Hi I am 12 I watch your vedios I binged watch and for chess tactics for an tournament in January 14 and 15 and also 16 wish me good luck 🤞🍀

    What I do when my queen is threatened and I can't do much to save it is to also hit their queen, whatever material I have

    Levy your game with grunbergmihai you could have sac'd the queen and took it with a room and it was a checkmate

    So I'm pretty bad (like 900 elo) but can someone explain why Levy doesn't sacrifice the queen at 18:33? if Qh8+, Bxh8 is forced, then Rxh8# right?

    You say beginners are around a 1000 rating? I'm around 240 and only just started playing lol 😆

    This doesn't work on me cause my moves are totally randome and useless lol

    Jesus! Your chess videos are ultra good!

    Such a great fun teacher.

    I'm a bit of a fan boy.

    🙂

    Levy is the greatest teacher ever. His channel's name should be : GTL (greatest teacher levy) lol

    I am only 700, but my calculations in the opening phase are so good, I dont even consider that my opponent will hang the queen

    i'm watching your shorts very often but now i think i know how to improve very nice vid

    Btw am i the only 1 that can't join the discord???

    I can understand the begginer examples but when the advance example comes I can't understand anything

    I'm just generally bad at calculating in chess so props to GothamChess for giving me the tips of how to calculate.

    Lets go! I no longer hang my pieces in one move!

    the sad truth is if youre not 1800 after a few months youll never be good enough to make chess anything more than a hobby.for some reason these professionals are born with some sort of spark. sure practice is extremely important but at some point youll hit your max and if you dont have that "spark" your max wont be any higher than about 1800.

    i went up from 336 to 689 in less than 1 hour after watching this i dont play a lot so im kinda bad but this doubled my rating, thanks bro

    I was up about 1350 last week now I've dropped down to 1200 it seems like everything I studied for I've hardly been able to retain ANYTHING. It's strange to me because I study language too and I am able to retain a lot of what I learn but in chess I felt like I learned some good openings and some counters and then COMPLETELY forgot almost everything I learned and I can't explain why.

    Man it goes so fast it’s a little hard to comprehend lol I have to keep pausing and analyzing what you’re saying haha so hard it’s almost discouraging

    Great channel, getting into your content has really taught me a lot. Keep up the great work!

    @19:02 WTH, the dude calculated every move without even looking at the board😮

    What happens if at 3:00 they take bishop with B2 pawn i mean i think you blunderd the bishop to a pawn

    Have to disagree chess is easy being good at chess is hard VERY hard

    have you tried 5D chess with multiverse time travel? its hard to understand but you can pull off some crazy mates across 3 diffrent timwlinwa with 1 queen
    would be cool if you try it

    I seem to get stuck at 1080 ELO rating and don't know what to do

    Thanks to levy im able to be onpar with 1000-1200 rated players!

    Hey Gotham, what about rook d5 instead of knight takes bishop in veevee9's game?
