Seems like I'm watching imrosen's video
omg, I've been thinking about this opening a lot recently. im so happy you made a video of it!! i want more opening videos just like the old times. You're the best teacher. who's with me? <3
Thanks for the upload Levy, however I just had a game with 22 blunders, please make a video on how to have 21 blunders or less
14:03 mate I'm 2 with the horse
I'VE LITERALLY BEEN LEARNING THIS OPENING AND YOU RELEASE THIS VIDEO THANK YOU SO MUCH
not the ruy lopez…… I'm out
You are the best
Help please I’m only 200
Nice Video….
man you need a haircut
me watching this :
playing chess :
playing with black peices :
person playing with white peices : plays e4 plays c3
me : bro i just watched a gotham chess vid abt this wth-
Are we all going to ignore that Levy played Walter White 💀
great, now make a video on how to counter it
I hit pause button at the start of the video thinking the video did not start. That's how long Levy was staring at the start.
Some of you would still find a way to lose this game with white 🤣🤣 truer words can’t be said
Ponziani mains stand up😤
My elo bumped from 1500 to 1749, Thank you levy, it improved me so much
What if they played the perovskites defence?😂
You won BEST CHESS STREAMER AWARD ?
CONGRATULATIONS 👏
You're stupid u noob u dont know anything so shut up…
After developing the bishop at 2:13 what if black plays pawn c6?
My issue with openings is there’s so many nuances I never know which to choose and when I should go out of the way from a copy paste style. I feel like I need to nail just one way before starting any others
This was actually so helpful, i went up 50 elo just yesterday.
Congratulations on the Award, GothamChess! You deserved it Levy!
I like how you changed the title and half of the comments don't make sense now lol
who even plays 3 ..Bc5 what
nice video
Me: does move on my own like levy told me
Also me: blunders mate in one on second move
GODDAMNIT NOW ALL THE 800S WILL KNOW THE THEORY AND GOTHAM HAS RUINED IT GODDAMNIT
Hey Gotham, give us some bullet tutorial man
wait, levy did you just ignore en-passant
Its too tempting to go Jérôme Gambit
4:34 after bishop d7, take rook and make queen, after they take with their queen, you go queen d7 checkmate.
I was literally looking for a Levy Ponziani video today and sad I couldn't find one. 🙂 Perfect timing!
I used the ponziani to beat Carlus Magnusen
What about if your black
Congrats on the streamer award levy! Well earned
I got an AimChess ad before this video. Could you please talk about it (without laughing at all of the jokes in the ad)?
You know levy's very proud when he says "aren't you glad you click on this video
Day 17 of asking: Can you make a video about sveshnikov Sicilian
Just want a sveshnikov sicilian video and want Gotham to See this comment
I was sick of London. Time to go to Italy.
Levy This is not a ood beginner opening, good beginner's opening is an opening that is 1)powerfull and 2)can be played with anything
CONGRATULATIONS ON BEST CHESS STREAMER LEVY!!!
congrats on streamer award 🎉
Why do you play Knight C3 when the opponent checks with the dark squared bishop? Should it not be Bishop D2?
Im going to try this one
I think this is much harder to do than kings gambit
As a 800 in rapid and almost 600 in blitz
I learned this opening by myself I play it without the c3 pawn I go d4 but thanks for the tips will definitely use
every single play Gotham uploads becomes the new main line for all low rank chess games lmao
3:00 what the point of h3?
5:15 what if they block with the knight? Do you just go qe2 to stop mate in 1?
