It's all fun until your opponent plays the sicilian

Im just kidding…actually im 500 now…hehehe
FYI, sticking two fingers up is considered very rude in some countries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_sign
Can i send you a game i played?
I started playing chess when I was very young and no kid in my area around my age or even older could beat me. The game was all about creativity but recently YouTube recommended your video and I wound not lie you did great job keeping me hooked and watched your 1 hour video and didn't felt board at all. But what I came to know after watching your video disappointed me. Chess nowadays is all about book moves and how much theory you know about chess. If you play this move you must play this move because it's the book move or else your opponent will apply some sort of studied sequence of move that will lead to your defeat. I mean what's the point of this much theory in chess played between non competitive normal people let them use their own brain. I understand it may be necessary in competitive and grand masters level since it's all about that prestegeous titles but also those chess games no longer excites me most of the GMs is literally computer that has pre installed moves and know what to play after what 1,2 top level GMs may be exceptional. I shouldn't say anything to competative chess players but normal chess players are also becoming total computers and if I play moves out of the book they get really confused and mess up even if they are so called good players. I am not pissed off by them being better but their game looks so fake and scripted and same everytime.
why are people rating his stare??
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR AWARD LEVY WELL DESERVED🎉🎉🎉🎉. PLEASE RESPOND.
Me: plays what levy taught me
My opponent: oh I watch levy too🌚
Congratulations on winning the streamers award
Totally deserved 🥂
Congrats on chess streamer of the year Levy! You deserved it
nub
Can you do a video about the Van‘t Krujis opening please ? 😭
Who was here when the title was watch this get 500 elo?
you changed the title?
If you don’t take in min 7.15 with en passent you lost your right to play the game
what if knight b4 at 13:17? Because, yes there is a pawn guarding that square, but you can't take because you'd lose a rook. Also, if you do nothing, the knight can take the hanging bishop on d3 the next move. Just a 900 rated player, so It's highly possible I'm missing something crucial here. Can anyone tell me why knight b4 is a bad move?
Me watching as if id remember a single move:
4:20 What if black does Bishop d7? Queen f3 for mate or what
That knight promotion fork was absolutely everything holy shit
Sf6 is a aggressive Petrov Defence. Looks very nice! 🔥
Wow ponziani is soo good, im still gonna play london
Y’all got gaming PCs to play a board game
Bro, I play Ponziani for like last year😂
Repent your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior God as your lord and savior God is merciful and he will forgive you
congrats strimmer

i think it would be very cool if you made the video a bit longer but add an actual pro game with the opening you are showing, to see how the pro's have been using it
great video thank you
Exactly when I needed an opening with the white pieces! Thanks!
15:45 doesn't that loses rook
The only issue with this is now it's gonna get overused lmao great opening btw
Sadly i watched you too much and now I am +1450 elo so I have to play the chess game after the opening but I always loved to watch your opening videos keep it up champ!
How to win if we are black in this opening
I was really hoping that this was ponziani, but definitely didn't think you were actually gonna loool this opening is so fun
I hardly remember a video called Watch this. Gain 500 elo.
@GothamChess
3/10 doesnt work above 1500
This does not even work against AI of 1500 ELO 😀 he brings out the queen early and stops any attack on that side
We need more teaching vids
Why, at 4:34 do you kill bishop with queen, if you hit bishop with bishop they still have to take with queen and you promote with check. When they block with the queen you kill the queen with your other queen and its checkmate. (I hope that was understandable, lol)
I've been playing the Ponziani for about 1 year now, and I can confirm it's absolutely fantastic. I'm 1600 rapid now and it still works very well. Apart from the traps that people still fall into, you get a good position with center control.
I'm 1800, my go-to answer to the Ponziani is and always has been f5 (Ponziani Countergambit), works like a charm against unprepared opponents
I literally said " wow😮 ❤" 5:33
In the first game the queen had the g4 move :((
Congratulations on winning the chess streamer of the year !!!!
Thanks levy absolutely destroyed my friend (he fell for both the bishop and the knight trap lmao)
Best opening of all time that makes me lose 10000000 elos
After watching this video, I tried ponziani. I got mated in 8th move. I enjoyed it so much…
Levy congratulations to you and your lovely wife on winning the Twitch award. Could not happen to a better man.
This doesn’t work with bots, but I just played my first ever bullet game and won in 18 seconds
