Real people know he changed title
Watched the first two minutes, immediately got in a blitz game, got a winning position in like 7 moves, blundered mate in one but they didn’t see it, premoved ladder mate with 1 second on the clock. 10/10
After watching this 12 times I’m now 2x better than Magnus Carlson
Nice
Ive been playing for 3 weeks and im still straight ass 😭
Ok now everyone's gonna play the ponziani and the unpredictableness of the ponziani at low elo gone 😭😭
Levy searching for comments about Magnus and his relationship
I would recommend the bong cloud opening 😂😂
the glitch got patched… levy changed the title
5:50 LOL
Sussy thumbnail
I know I suck at chess but I just hit 416 rapid and I’m proud of myself. Was stuck in 200 for a few months
ive noticed this for a very long time now, but after a few hours he changes the title to be less clickbaity
wthelll…
Me: I'm such a noob
Me after watching this video: "Magnus Carlsen has just lost to a chicken!"
Hey Levy I saw another good one, SLCC/ GM Akobian beginner lecture on Fischer #43 vs. Fine 1963. I and I'm sure more than a few others would love to hear you weigh in on that one. It's like requesting a tune from a live musician.
Why change title
Thanks for this amazing video, Levy! I watched the video backwards and lost 500 Elo. I couldn’t have done it without you!
I'm here for the beautiful 5:32, in the right place for disgusting chess. I'm not disgusted but my opponent will be. These days I don't even have to click the bell, Levy just put this up 3 hours ago. Go Knights!!
Gotham isn't the d4 pawn weak in this structure
7:16 this doesn’t work tho because en passant is forced
I am 1700 elo. Thanks to watching this video I am now 2200 ty!
Hi
I literally was about to learn and play the opening to catch the guys off guard and you just ruined my plan
Levy you’re absolutely right! I gained 500 Elo! Started at 900 and five games later here i am at 500. finally a youtuber that doesnt clickbait.
How will I be 1540 from 1040 in 20 minutes
This is definitely one of the comments sections of all time.
Sad thing is opponents are also watching
7:11 forced en-passant
Why Levy gotta roast his viewers like that? 😂😂😂😂😂 @8:51
I tested this opening after you sad that I would be winning many games like this. The very first game I played I actually won with the Bb5+ trap!
I play so well when I blunder my queen….is it weird that I enjoy my games wen I blunder the queen?
11:48 Why not sack the bishop on f7,king takes knight check on g5,then you can bring your Queen out,and if bishop check King d8 then the opponent cannot castle,why a3 instead of that?
Thank you Levi. After watching this, I did climb 500 ELO and am now a proud 400 😀
Levi: promises free elo
Me who plays ponziani for 4 years: 😭
Hey Levy, can you make a video on how to defend against this opening? Thanks
I have just played a game against a ponziani for the first time in my life (860 elo) are you the reason this video is out for only 2 hours and people wanna try it except i won after he forgot about the H3 trap 3:00 then he messed up and i won
Nice ill look forward to it!
3:54 Bless you
I achieved 1200 today thanks gotham
Crazy that one video is gonna take Magnus from 2800 to 3300. Unparalleled
7:15 but en passant is forced…
You have a beautiful forehead.
Magnus watching this vid and gaining 500 elo
Alright if I don’t get 3300 in a couple weeks it’s on you levy
nice
How to make a YouTube video private?
me 2200 elo now
HEY I WATCHED THIS VIDEO AND LOST 1000ELO BUT THEN GAINED 2000ELO!☠️
(no hate it's a joke)
