bumped up my chess elo to 2200 thank you
this is why my rating from 1818 to 1242 Lower cuz of my eyes aren't seeing this video just to CALCULATE THINGS WITHOUT BEING NOTICING IT IM STUPID
is there any female watching the vid like me? i just hope i'm not the only one
if you calc in yer mind bit by bit as the games goes by, it's not as daunting then, otherwise you'll get lost with all the possible combos
How can i send my clips to Levy?
Lol, watched this video and felt myself stupid
the 10 first mins are obvious, aren't they?
THANK YOU!
Q to H8 check; B x Q; R X B check mate
Greetings Gotham, been playing for years. I’d submit the thought that most players under 1000 don’t think past two moves. I wonder if I’m in a rut and wondering about lessons. Thanks for the lessons!
Brilliant video ❤️
11:41 lmaooo "frustrated"
5
The first 8 min improved my chess game massively! Thanks!
I have lost every match I played ;-;
22:07 My brain exploded
That indeed was useful. Let me try some of that now.
Do you record all your games?
8:00 "At 670 there's no such thing as a Sicilian Defense" LOL
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord
Thanks Levy for your great videos
We learn a lot from them🙂🙂
25:26
I just watched this and then played chess, there was an immediate improvement to my game. Thank you.
at 7:16 pawn takes on c4 ,b pawn takes on c4,queen takes knight on a4….. LEVY DIDN'T SPOT THAT???
How did he missed mate in 2 moves 16:23😅
11:20 blunders a whole rook, Levy doesn't see it
Ye, when Hikaru covers whole board with arrows my mind just melts
18:33 what about bishop e7 here instead to sac it and collect the black bishop? push the king back and pull the white rook into the foray
Me before watching Gotham : Sad 500, Blunders Family fork
Me after watching Gotham: Uh…G4, G5, Bg6, Nxe5, Qxg6, Nb6+, Kb3, Na6+, Ka3, Qe2#
How soon should you start playing lower time games
I've gotten way better by playing 30 min time control.
7:02 I don't understand why bishop b4 can't take the pawn on c3….likewise the knight a4 please someone should explain
Thanks for the video, and great explanation.
Great respect for Gotham, but an elementary statistical analysis I have carried out shows that I have far greater success just playing moves instinctively than than when I calculate variations. Calculating takes too much time. I just sit there staring at the board, and then suddenly I get the inspiration to play a move. Granted, sometimes it takes very long before the move pops into my head, but mostly not.
9:33 I saw this in like 3 seconds, and I know it's not that difficult but at least it shows I have my head in the right place
In 18:33 could you take the queen to H8 then he would take with bishop h8 then rook h8 mate?
I wonder if I’m seeing something wrong here
Btw great video for a 950 like myself – been going up in rank a lot lately with your videos 🙏🏻
This is why I'm an okay chess player instead of a great chess player. That is a lot of mental calculation plotting multiple variations that are 5+ moves. I would never be able to do this on the fly in a timed game. Just casual unlimited time games for me…
I love this guy✌️
beautifully explained
18:01 here is the answer you were looking for
In all my time of playing Chess, this is one of the best videos that I've seen which explains the thought process of higher level Chess players vs beginner level.
Great video! I learned a lot. Thanks
"You need think about your opponent's plan" – goddamn levy! I am a 600, for, like, last 15 years, quite sure my opponent is a substance abuser. Do we look like men with plan to you?? Fuck, I don't even know what my plan is, or was, how do I know about his!! He himself doesn't have a plan.
When it comes around 600, we all are in Gotham City, and we are the 🃏🃏
such a good video
Those ranking/beginner remarks are nice and all, but I've finally started moving up from 1600/cat3 range, and still found this entire video very instructive. It's as much strength as maturing, to stop being aggressive and know when to stop and ponder.
went from 30% accuracy to 92%, thanks Levy
in 28:58 why not take the bishop with the night and forcing a fork woth the bishop and a really bad position for white
https://youtu.be/IZylqjeVuPg
I recently played a game where I calculated a bishop sacrifice to then fork his queen and rook with my knight and open his king defence: opponent did not get hooked, he kept not taking my bishop. I was thinking, maaan how clever is this guy, is he maybe cheating? I end up winning the game 20 moves later, without the sacrifice. I checked the game straightaway……. if he was taking my bishop I could take his queen with mine (i did not notice that) and also if I would have put my knight in the forking position he could have taken it with his bishop. I’m just crap at chess.
MANG0 MANG0 MANG0 AHHHHHHHHHH
