Me who is stuck at 700: Interesting…
Thank you Levy, before this video I was 1350, now I am 1200
already am
Currently fighting for 1500 rn. I got stuck at 1200 for a while but what’s been helping me is definitely attacking in hopes of being the problem causer instead of solver. Also practice endgames haha
13:39 this is solid advice I mean I was stuck in the 700s for months and I only finally made it to the 800s because I stopped freaking out whenever I got paired with an 800 and started playing against higher rated opponents like they were lower rated than me and it works like 70% of the time. Elo anxiety isn’t an easy thing to overcome but as soon as I was like “if I were playing against Martin in this position what would I do?” I started winning more games. I mean I still lose but it’s not as bad because I lose a game where I fought back instead of defending the whole time and I find comfort in that.
great game from you levy. really got me there at the end
Great video, but gotta correct you on 15:50 en passant is clearly forced
I have been stuck at 1200-1300 for a year 🙁
I do like rapid more for commentary like this tho, Levy even said that if you really want to learn you have to play at least 15 min or longer games.
You should change the name of your channel to Levy Chess
I dare levy to make thumbnails without Magnus for the entirety of March.
i learned a lot here as an 1150 elo player. please more of these videos at this level.
No, I don't want to.

Yes, I want to lose 68 Elo
being 1400 and getting complimented many times by Levy for your good moves must be such a huge ego boost.
Turn the lava lamp on
10:52 I am a bit less than 1200 rapid but I think the zwischenzug of the knight is something I should be able to see. I have studied things like that from an intermediate chess book and YouTube and although I often overlook things I wouldn't put myself in the category of people who shouldn't be able to see that trick. It is still pretty much a one-mover you don't have to calculate 3 moves ahead – if it is, then I see I legitimately come up short due to my lack of working memory, but any one mover trick I should see. Not seeing it is my failure of not paying enough attention.
Generally, it is interesting to see what an average 1200 rapid should be able to do, but I should be rated higher according to these criteria. It is just that I am unable to see these tactics in games, but conceptually while analysing the game afterwards etc. I clearly see I should have seen certain things coming. I think a good example of a similar case was my granddad, who studied chess from a chess book at age 70, previously knowing very little about the game in order to teach me. He knew many concepts from the book I didn't know, but whenever we played I just mauled him as he wasn't able to protect his hanging pieces – he simply didn't see the whole board and at age 70 it is just impossible to start seeing it. So with superior knowledge, he just still got humiliated every single game. For instance, I would fianchetto both my bishops and he was sure to move his g pawn at some point and each time I would almost bump into his hand still on the board, impatient to smash his rook in the corner with the bishop. He would always tell me to calm down, to stop acting like a madman.

I’m 1199 this video really would helped me to go to 1200
I am 1800 but I still watched the video because I always watch your videos, they are simply amazing❤ I just want to say thank you for everything you have tought me: you got me into chess and by watching your videos I went from an 800 in 2021 to an 1800 in 2023… I hope I can reach 2000 one day, I don't know if I can, but one thing is for sure: if I reach 2000, I couldn't have done it without you. Thank you Levy for getting me into and teaching me this amazing game❤❤
Lol i git rated 1177 today at 7:30
went from 1600 to 1200 thanks levy!
No, I don't, that would be a degrade.
Yes! please more of that, i got the feeling i am learning so much more this way 🙂
Help a fellow that just started and is hardstuck at 900. Why is pawn to g5 at 27:15 a massive mistake?
This is exactly what i was looking for 🤩thank you levy!!
1200 Accepted
+1000 rating
"Tragic mistake that lost them the game" – literally every single one of my games
this man is so overpowered he's literally wearing the universe

He's about to Beat Hikaru Nakamaru
Note :- It's joke
I am 1500, what am I even doing here
great lesson Levy ! thanks ! awesome. I also enjoy to highlight the dead pieces and squares and the beast mode pieces !
1300 rated people: no
I really didn't know I can be 1200 in my life. i was 1400 and now im 1200. Thank you!
Second, 95% of 1000 to 1400 would not have played Rb8 and instead would have played b6, practically no one at that level would have played Bh5 and once players get down to 45 seconds, time is now 90% of what will dictate the result. Again blitz is a very poor showcase…
How do u know I'm 1100
Bro I am 1357 cause of u
No now get out here ?
How to be a 1500 if you are 1250😄😄
3 months 1300, now target for march is 1500 and learning opening moves helps so much
Me being an 1800🗿
What I learned from this video = be 2700 then you can beat 1400's in a grind and maintain 1200 rating
his center is rook solid (7:41)
I finally got to 1200 after watching this video. Was at 1400 for a long time. Thanks Levy 😊
