You know what else is worth more than a Knight? You, Gotham! Don't force yourself to make daily recap videos if you're unwell. I hope you feel better soon.
There is Agadmator and there is Eric Rosen, and there is this guy here. Am I glaad I got this 3 dudes to enjoy. Used to hate TH-cam, now I quite enjoy it because of them.
@@parthpatel5723 There was a time when TH-cam was insufferable. Agadmator changed my opinion. From there, I found Hikaru's stream and then Levy. Finally, Eric.
@David Kenyon indeed. Tried YT and soo many video ranged from deranged prick to beheading by terrorist. And then there was a time when YT popularized stupid people doing stupid things. Started watching YT again in 2018, that's how I found Agadmator.
Even though Seto Nakamura has belittled his prep, Yugi knows that none of the moves in his grandpa's chess book are weak if you just believe in the heart of Chess..
I'm confused. At 3:11, why didn't the pawn on e5 just capture the Knight? Why bother using your own knight to defend when you can get a free piece while also getting your pawn out of danger?
I think its: Qg5 check. If king is on a light square then you fork the queen and king with the bishop on c file If king on dark square then you force a draw. Qd8 Kg7 Qg5 repeat
Fun fact: At 30:11 when magnus plays be5 there was a cool tactic, nxb5, cxb5 then be1 to b3 and the queen is trapped because hikaru has the white bishop in a2
I love how you make a documentary for each move they are making in order for us to understand the concept behind it... yet they find it in a blink of an eye... its like they are living in a different space-time...
Hello Gotham Chess! Hope you're reading this comment. I saw the whole video and noticed how you tried making little jokes like how Magnus was in the illuminati because of his pawn structure. I personally liked it and got few good chuckles from your jokes. I think it would be better if, after you said a joke, you could maybe edit the video and make it as a meme only for like a second or two and then get back to explaining. For example after saying how Magnus is in the illuminati because of his pawn structure, the video could be edited and have a little illuminati triangle right where the pawn structure is and have the illuminati theme song playing in the background for like a second or two. I personally believe it would make your videos more entertaining to watch (not saying it isn't already). I love your videos and I love that you put the time and effort into explaining almost every move to help me and other viewers understand the thought process of why those moves were made. Even when you feel sick you still pull through for us. Keep it up man! We appreciate everything you do! [Here is the time stamp from what I was referring to earlier 28:36]

I can't lie, I deffo became a Shakh fan after his winning three games IN A ROW to force a tiebreaker against Hikaru. The man comes out swigging every match!

Well some one just forked those two queens and my king taking one of my queens pushing one of his or her pawns which opens a discovery check forcing mate in two simultaneously attacking my other queen
Hey Levy, I think it would be a really nice idea for a furure video to teach how to set up certain tricks like Greek Gift, traps and those kind of things, great content btw, lots of love from Uruguay.
