Don't read my profile picture
Well now I know why I couldn’t find your ponziani video in my earlier searches.
Thanks for uploading
What the fuck, I'm 870 I play this literally every game and didn't know
You might not even know what low depth means
Some of you might even manage to loose this position
Man these roasts in between😂😂😂😂
i watched this 5 times and beat stockfish
You say that it is the best beginner chess opening, and then try to show it by playing with the opening, but why don't you make a beginner play it and you show it, like that we have a real proof, this video is like if Magnus was telling us yes play that look, I just beat à 1500 with that, see how good it is, well yes ok, but something is wrong in this demonstration no?
Its too complicated for me im an 400
Hope it's not something to do with E4
Great opening 🙂👏🏾
I won my first game with this against someone with 40 higher points 😮 ( I am 800)
I started playing chess a month ago and someone asked if I was playing this opening because of your video. I was confused because it's the way I've been playing since I started either that or a bishops opening. But I was missing so many major moves I could have been doing. This video showed me so many more things I could do with it.
PUT THE OLD TITLE BACK
As someone who's been playing ponziani for the past year despite wikipedia calling it trash, this makes me happy
Has anyone noticed that Levi is wearing the same hoodie for like 3 videos. I think that he recorded all previous videos in one sitting and just uploading them each day. (No disrespect)
Love your content
Finally a Levy video on the Ponziani! Ive been playing this for the last 3 months. Now my problem is everyone else will be playing it too.
17:00 you’re telling me that a 1600 rated player beat a 2600 IM!?
The ''aren't you glad you clicked on this video'' killed me 🤣
It's the same all the time. Gotham makes video and opening becomes immediately bad option (everyone knows it) ':-I
I'm stuck in this zone where I beat a 1600 bot easily and get destroyed by an 1800
it's a PONZI opening becase gotham chess is a scam!!!!!
I just hit 1400 Elo by grinding the Colle Zuckertort opening. Over the past two years I just rinsed and repeated it and I learned how to navigate the opening without much problem.
Choose an opening and stick to it for a while, you’ll definitely improve!
PS don’t think Levy has ever covered the Colle opening and variations 😢
I tried your ponzi opening on Nelson the bot and he relentlessly bullied me with his queen you're a tuna head Gotham!!!
Is it just me or did Levy change the title of the video? lol
and I thought king’s gambit was good
I wish I could gain 500 elo from this as a 1700
As a Ponziani player I am happy you did this 😀
I just do kings pawn, and try to go for a 4 knights game
LMao bro I just played this against my like 1300 rated dad and he was flabbergasted at how i forced a checkmate!
Well, I had a game where my oponent fell two times for the same fork giving away a free queen and a rook. Did I solve chess? Lmao
This video is useful but there are also these videos that show more info on the ponziani!
Eric Rosen's Ponziani https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqZLFyZbfDk&ab_channel=EricRosen
Chess Giant's Ponziani: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNxz6w0fmys&list=PLKx6s-gbAEVEqjZeF3ITtfKt8pjnMvJk3&ab_channel=TheChessGiant
Chess giant has an entire playlist on the ponziani. SO I HIGHLY RECCOMEND WATCHING HIS PONZIANI.
7:11 Gotham is wrong for the first time he's forgot that en passant is forced
thank you so much for making your videos, you got me from low 600s to mid 800s in less than a week. please keep doing what youre doing
1:23
20.35 if the queen takes the pawn and then the rook why is it not mate in 2?
Levy I have an idea for your merch it should be a t shirt with a printing on it when u look at it from one side, it says, "he sacrifices the" and the other side is "rooooookh"
cap
I am not even getting above 700 😂
That explains Gotham sub getting 3500 elo
As someone who is less than beginner, danke Levy
That was a sick tactic
How does it feel to be a meme now
I play this all the time and now everyone is going to know how to counter it i love it lol🤣
as a 1650 its suprising how many people know little to no theory at my level, im a spanish player and 90% of the responses are instant a6-b5/old steinitz/birds
Already gained 50 points and just watched thanks gotham
"Legends know the title got changed "
Today’s stare evoked in me a feeling of responsibility and soothed my soul. 11/10.
I refuse to gain elo. I will remain this elo
No Gothamchess, I already know, that everybody is going to use this now 😢
Just what I needed
I watched this 3 times and now I can walk on water. Amazin
