I wouldn't say that you shouldn't castle as black against the London (unless there's a greek gift) but you should be cautious especially with something like h4, h5. However its definitely defendable at a high level. Levy talked about d6, e5 but i thought more direct was Qg6 (prophylactically) defending anything with h7 or h6. As long as you realise there is danger a few moved in advanced its good. Obviously thats not expected at 600 level.
@@TheArizus Absolutely, you should castle, I just had so many games where black castled short and ran into rook+queen or bishop+queen battery mate 3 moves later
Nope. As a begginer is very common to try to memorize several good lines from a specific opening. I usually play the Caro Kahn as black with 90% or more until move 15. But still am under 900 elo.
I’m about 600.. I fluctuate between familiarity and good ideas and panic mode and overconfidence. Basically I can be decent on one move and also easily hang my queen on the next
I feel so identified with this comment i stopped studying after learning the fundamentals and I enjoy improving empirically rather than studying even though progress is slower.
dude as 300 elo whenever he paused to say like “what is the best move” i was able to pick them out. There’s no way in hell you can convince me that these players are double my elo.
@@bliizzardd That's the thing about a lot of people in these videos. Someone picks their starting rating as 1200, loses 90% of his games and ends up around 600. Starting from 200 some of those people would stay at that number for the rest of their lives.
It's possible that Levy changed his title, but content creators on TH-cam can actually create multiple titles (and multiple thumbnails), and TH-cam will present new ones to you to try to get you to watch the video. Tom Scott (I believe) did a video on this.
Damn, this game was wild as hell. At first I couldn't believe that White was 600 Elo because of how they played in the opening, and then I couldn't believe they were 600 Elo because of how they played in the late middlegame and early endgame for the opposite reason. It was like he used up all his mental energy through the opening and then just ran out of gas. My theory: I feel like the challenge of converting a winning position into a won game can sometimes come from failure to bounce back after a missed opportunity. White couldn't figure out how to finish things off and seal the deal, leading to them getting more frustrated and then perhaps beating themselves up for not being able to figure out the conversion. Then when they start slipping towards a losing position, they may start playing despair chess. This could be because of how hopeless they may feel about the game after having their position fall so much in quality. Or it could also be a collapse of their self-confidence about their own playing ability due to their failure to deliver a win from an overwhelming advantage. Once that happens and the hopelessness or frustration sets in, their thinking is completely emotionally compromised, their focus and ability to reason or calculate goes out the window, and they implode on themselves like the core of a dying star turning into a black hole.
this is literally me I get so lazy when I'm up a piece or have a positional advantage. my games look like this. with maybe a few less missed mates haha
800 here, couple days ago dude didn't know how to mate with two rooks so he promoted to queen, blundered her, promoted again, stalemated. I'm still not sure if he was trolling or legit had no idea about endgames.
@@mariuszpudzianowski8400 I had like 5 queens one game and accidentally stalemated. I have no regrets, it was quite funny actually that I tried to troll the opponent and ended up trolling myself 😂

Chess grandmaster reaction of watching a game:ok so he sacrifices the rook so he can get a checkmate Levy:and he sacrifices the ROOoOOOoOooOoOoOoOoOOOoOOK
Its like they both had a computer show them the best moves, but right when they were about to win, they turned off their computer and proceded to not checkmate the opponent because they don't know how
@@ElderSteak5 yup, apparently his old camera/mic was trash so he had to wait for a second after starting or else it wouldnt catch the first part of his sentence. Now he just does it for the meme
he stared at the camera before because his recording software was corrupting the videos or making them lag, and the way to prevent this was staring at a camera and don't move for some seconds
I would love to see videos lists with crazy games but playing specific openings. I love the London and the caro, I think it would be interesting to see the weird lines and maybe get some new attacking ideas.

in my case it is precisely oppositely :D
"You know what they say, when you have mate in 1, look for something better" 🤣

That opening was actually quite impressive. It was like 1400 opening and then the rest was 200
Aside from castling short against London which usually results in quick checkmate.

Yes that's fair. There definitely is attacking potential

Levy: “run the king”
Everyone: *runs the king*
Levy: “well now don’t do that”
His advice was to run the king in a dead lost position, not when you have a mate in one
Black literally ran in the wrong direction
Running the king literally worked for black in this game....
@@TimSheehan coz half of the moves of this game were missed mates by white
@@_Tao__ yes. Because players at this level get confused and can't mate in the middle of the board. One of the reasons why running the king works
