HOW TO WIN AT CHESS NEXT PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I tried this in my 400 elo game and no one played any conventional moves and I still lost.
Somehow I lost 500 elo
Thanks for showing this, it'll be of great use to me.
I'm not a big fan that you gave yourself a GM badge, because newcomers might actually think you're a GM.
Granted learning from an IM compared to a GM at this/my level is basically the same, but still it feels a bit scammy.
I see one huge problem with this opening. If you are playing 2. Nf3, you are not playing 2.Nc3
This video came out an hour ago and already had two games with two guys playing the ponziani trying to pull this off
This is a really helpful video, what's really strange is 2 days ago I was researching this opening on youtube and now it's here on your channel!
you should put this is in your second channel because if you do this in your main channel nobody's elo changes as the whole community's skill increases.
very helpful undeed
immedeatly found someone using this opening.
edit: he lost pretty hard
Imagin Magnus Carlsen see this video. Not sure the title of the video will remain true in that case.
Good video fr.
4:33 don't you just win the queen by pushing the pawn?
I only gained 499 elo😡
Using stockfish will help
Why all the comments down below are the same 😂
Love your videos by the way, if you're reading this, have a great day 🙂
7:10 Можно сделать ,,Овн пхусон"
Waltuh
yoo
How do i send games to you cause i just had a good game
I'll watch the video 6 times and destroy stockfish
As someone sitting at 800 I can't wait for 50 percent of my openings against me to change from the scholars mate attack to the brutal ponziani attack.
What if f5 is played levy?
dont let magnus see this video
Time stamps.
0:00 = 7/10 stare
0:50 = Starting
1:28 = why c3
1:50 = what if Be5 after c3?
2:50 = what if d6 instead of Be5? (there are traps in this line)
3:25 = second best move after c3 which is Nf6 and what to do against it?
Nf6 lines:
– 4:14 = Nasty trap in the Nf6 line.
– 6:34 = other lines with Nf6.
– 7:23 = Another line with Nf6 with what to do against Qe7 pinning the pawn.
7:56 = What to do against the best move against c3, that is d5.
9:10 = Another nasty trap.
These time stamps are for the chess moves.
P.s : I accidently deleted it but thankfully ctrl Z exist.
Edit: i accidently wrote e3 instead of c3
*gains 500 elo*
“I’m gonna develop my queen.”
Develops the knight…
Looking to change up from the Italian opening. Ponziani sounds like my guy!
currently 1100. if i’m not 1600 after this im unsubscribing gothy
THE ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK
I tried this for one game and instantly they moved their bishop and would resign later on LMAO
as a 1100 elo who got banned for playing with 93.7 accuracy, this is gonna help me push back up
Excellent
Wow an oldschool series on an opening I needed
Please do more opening lessons
this dosen't work i lost elo and ur voice is annoying. stop talking pls.
Waltuh, put yah board away Waltuh. We’re not playing chess right now…
i will watch 7 times and i will be better then stockfish
Did you know that SinisterMagnus was a cheater?
Man you re so cool today where's the energy.BTW love your opening videos again
I've watched 6 tabs of this videos at the same time, now i have 3100 elo! I can beat anyone!
It is funny that I played a game a few days ago, it's a ponziani, I was playing black and have never studied the opening, but maybe cuz I am used to playing the scotch, d5 is like super natural for me, I was playing it like a black scotch.
ponziani is my favorite 1.e4 opening
Is anyone getting the feeling that Levy is getting burn out? I hope he gets some rest he works too hard on so many projects.
I better get to 2200 with this Gotham
Ok I got it now delete the video before my friend sees it.
Instructions unclear Queen stuck in toaster
"I'm allergic to how bad blacks position is" thats how you know whites gonna win
Why Levy ? Why? This was my secret weapon for so long
yeah im glad i clicked on this video^^
3:54 bless you, Levy, bless you
