I normally never comment on video’s like this, especially since it was in my recommended, but I have to say... I have never seen a better chess teacher on TH-cam. Thanks for the content. Subbed :^)
I was generating random KQ vs K endgames and was solving them until I can mate in 5 seconds whatever position is (and until I can premove all forced moves) Few hundred positions and you are going to end the game with no time whatsoever
@@brunodua.bd3000 Yeah, that's the way to play the endgame but my question is how did he generate the position and sent it to stockfish without coding it out
Always lovely to see someone that dedicated to his craft and sharing his knowledge with others. Thank you for your help! You really make chess more fun than it already is.
Yeah that's a smart remembering technique.. he brings a big word/phrase that is easy to forget... increases the chance it comes back to us during a game :)
5:38 Be careful, you don't wanna mess up checks too many times or you might draw by 50 move rule (as it is a long process without captures or pawn moves).
two times 20 minutes of your video's have risen my rating from 800 (I just started with chess) to 1250 steady. Thank you so much man, can't wait to practice these principles!
i love these bc it rlly feels like he spends time on these and plans it out bc it’s all connected. he says “u know how to do this” and i go “ I REMEMBER”
The four areas of chess are: Openings, Calculation/tactics, strategy/middle game and endgames. To get to 1200 is enough with only openings and puzzles but to go further we must study everything!!! Levy, you're making me improve my chess when I dumped it for 10 years, as I was unable to get better!
Would love to see more endgame tutorials by Mr. Gotham. Really like your straight to the point explainations. Easy to grasp, informative and your pedagogic skills here, show that you're a true chess trainer. I currently work on De la Villa 100 endgames you must know, chessable movetrainer. Along with your videos I really feel that I understand the concepts more deeply. Thank you, coach. Keep up the good work.
Your explanations are the clearest of all. Teaching can be tricky. You may not tell everything and the audience will lack understanding or you may talk too much and your content would become boring. You always find the perfect dose. Thanks for the content.
Really enjoying this endgame series. Perfect for me who is about 1200. Looking forward to some other endgames that I’d be cautious to go into just because I don’t know the plan such as K,R,R vs K,Q
Excellent video, I'm using this to teach my son of the Queen vs Pawn endgame. At 1:44, I think the white queen can just take the pawn instead of bringing the King near the Pawn. However, the defending King may go to e4 instead of e5 in which case white needs to bring the King. Just an observation.
Levy, you forgot to mention underpromotion with a Knight at 14:14 for a check (and squares for the queen to watch out for because of the potential fork)
Ideas for Levy Bot dialogues : 1. "Westley has a big house" (General banter) 2. "To hell with my [Insert piece]" (Every time the bot sacrifices) 3. "Chop chop" (For trades)
Levy I’m in the middle of finals and because of your videos and your enthusiasm I have become engrossed in chess again. It has been a welcome mental distraction to my schoolwork and this horrid year. Thank you for making me love chess again. :)
I saw this video last week in a free chessly trial and this has already saved me two wins. And I can vaguely remember that at least one game in the last months I lost due due not thinking properly about this technique.
I first learned this queen pawn endgame from the chess website and he taught me a very easy way to remember when it’s a draw and when it’s not. So a stalemate results in both of the players having HALF a point. So when the pawn is on the H, A, C ( the C was straightened into an l ) and F file, it’s a draw by stalemate most probably. And if the pawn is on other files, it’s a win for the side with the queen.
These are great things to memorize. Even as somebody who's experienced with chess (I've played mostly casual OTB games with stronger tournament/club players most of my life), these aren't things I've memorized (well not all end game stuff at least) and I'm fine without time because I can determine the logic to them at that time, but under time pressure I've really screwed stuff up, even as a relatively expeeienced player. Good content for most skill levels, even if just to brush up on stuff. Please keep up with end game and opening vids. Loving your content.
watched a lot of your videos. Most of them are very entertaining and I learn a thing or two. But in this endgame videos i really learned ALOT. Thanks for that!
Levy, thank you. I just work with Yusupov's book and there was a chapter about these endgames and after was a test which i failed. So thank you for explaining it very clearly so i can do pass the test. And congrats for 1kk subs in 11 months. Great work man.
21:04 we are waiting levy pls continue this series and when we are playing this in Blitz there no time to see so many things at the same time i am practicing but pls continue this series!!!! Love on behalf of vidit!!!
Came here from NL's video, glad to find a chess youtube with a personality! I will now proceed to watching every single one of your videos for three months lol
Im not really a beginner but when I started watching this guy's video I started learning basic tactics and different types of opening and it made me love chess now im addicted to it :D
Thanks ! For this video I just saw it before my chess tournament and won a round in which my opponents knight pawn was on 7th rank and was just going to promote
Love the video and appreciate your misplaced faith in my memory of what we covered earlier. :) But in all seriousness, explained well enough that even a dolt like me had a chance of remembering over the board, so very well taught!
Love the energy. Do you have videos for beginners. You go so fast and to follow your videos your viewers have to have already a good level of chess. Simplicity goes a long way sometimes 😁.
Got the endgame drilling vibe after yesterday's endgame: spent 2 hours training Knight&Bishop mate. The amount of imagination used to visualise all the squares I control is inexplicable.
At first I was like "I won't need this crazy situations", but literally 1 game after watching this video I had an e pawn 1 square from promotion, and he had a Queen. I was able to get a draw on repetition because he didn't know where to place the Queen, while I knew where not to go with my King. He should have won if he watched this. Thanks for the draw!
Dude this was necessary. Thanks for doing it. Hoping for the rook bishop knight end games too. I always give away my advantage at endgames. Lastly your voice is so cool 👍
Wow! This is so instructive! I always used to draw queen vs pawn endgame not knowing how to win it. Now I am no longer a endgame noob, I am a gotham viewer! 🤓
This upload was so good Levy crashed TH-cam
true
Who knew better ideas watches Levy
Yes lol
Ikr
Tru.
Translation: Levy is tired of losing sub battles.
This comment made my day
LOL
Whenever he said don't go here please you could see him thinking about all the lost sub battle endgames
ahahah those exemple make it clear.
Bahaha, so true

Me:skip to bonus lesson
Levi:congratulates me on making it this far
Also me:starts video over to deserve the compliment
10:40 Levy was talking to me with his "Hey, Hey!" I'm not sure how he knew that I looked away from the screen.... crazy!
Same applies to me lol 😂
How I'll remember this in future:
*Million dollar square*
Got it.
Still manages to blunder Q
Yeah that's a smart remembering technique.. he brings a big word/phrase that is easy to forget... increases the chance it comes back to us during a game :)
Yeah but where is it
That's the million dollar question
$1 square vs $1 million square
5:38 Be careful, you don't wanna mess up checks too many times or you might draw by 50 move rule (as it is a long process without captures or pawn moves).
checks break the 50 move rule

@@ricksanchez2427 it is t1j lol
Now I have one more reason to respect you T1J! Even though you ruined Sam Harris for me . . . lol.
agreed! It's nice to have hundreds of hours of opening theory out there but concise endgame videos seem difficult to come by.
Bro I never skip any part of your videos but dude I'm so grateful that you use timestamps.
i love these bc it rlly feels like he spends time on these and plans it out bc it’s all connected. he says “u know how to do this” and i go “ I REMEMBER”

Levy, you're making me improve my chess when I dumped it for 10 years, as I was unable to get better!
There is no better duo than a king and a queen in Chess. It's simply attacker and supporter, so beautiful.
17:57 haha 😆😅at this point i forgot everything you taught because of this little joke
I’m excited for more episodes in this arc, this came right as I wanted to work on my endgames

I don't always reach endgame with a huge lead, but when I do my clock runs out and I end up making a draw out of stress.
I'm worse than you, I lose BUT IM 1000 ELO (HOW)
That's it guys, we need to win sub battles now
I sub to Hikaru I'm just here to get enemy ideas.

How does he explain this and make it so fun at the same timeee it’s amazing
Levy: *International Master*
Also Levy: 6:40 "check.."
i dont get it
@@hmzh5824 that wasn’t a check,
Levy plays with too many knights

Levy, you forgot to mention underpromotion with a Knight at 14:14 for a check (and squares for the queen to watch out for because of the potential fork)
It would still be losing anyway
Ideas for Levy Bot dialogues :
1. "Westley has a big house" (General banter)
2. "To hell with my [Insert piece]" (Every time the bot sacrifices)
3. "Chop chop" (For trades)
can't I just take that? Isn't that just a free piece? (when you hang a piece)
These endgame series are legit gonna bump my rating. Thank you.

Finally I'm moving out of 800s lol
Levy thanks for creating a playlist for those!
Your teaching how to play chess is excellent day 6 of say you helped me!
The endgame series and Gotham guide series are by far the best 2 chess series on TH-cam
I saw this video last week in a free chessly trial and this has already saved me two wins. And I can vaguely remember that at least one game in the last months I lost due due not thinking properly about this technique.

Thank you for these end game videos Levy

I loved the video, even though I knew this endgame. I think newer people will easily understand what you taught. Good job Levy...
Hello from S Korea. I was looking for some easy endgame videos (I mean, well explained ones) - and I'm glad I found one.
Levy is just an incredible teacher :)
Thanks Gotham. Because of this I know the basic endgame stuff even without reading any books
First 25 seconds lines are in every endgame video of Gotham, how will notice that 😂😂
I’m really looking forward to play against “Endgame Noob” to crush him in the end game.
In before Levy takes over the entire internet, damn man you're fire lately.
Im not really a beginner but when I started watching this guy's video I started learning basic tactics and different types of opening and it made me love chess now im addicted to it :D
Did anyone noted that levy profile is changed 😂 I love that little shuuu....
Yep

Thanks ! For this video I just saw it before my chess tournament and won a round in which my opponents knight pawn was on 7th rank and was just going to promote
Wow clicked this video from the endgames playlist and just noticed it was uploaded an hour ago. Great timing
Nice! I saw this from Rosen too. Thank you for posting. I love seeing different teaching styles.

These Endgame videos are fantastic keep em coming Batman.
I love this video! Thank you so much for a basic course on these pawn v queen scenarios
Thanks Levy I am finally on a level where my game manages to reach Endgame
