I mean, what got this on the map was just his slew of opening courses. I liked the d4 and e4 speed runs. I want those to come back, but until they do there is always GM Daniel's channel. Highly instructive stuff.
I hope this content does well. I know the content that's targeted at the higher rated players doesn't appeal to as many people, but it's the best! Cheers!
A good time to plug the very undersubscribed @ChessCoachAndras whose content I would say is aimed at the 1800+ level. A different style to Danya but entertaining and very educational - principled, aggressive, dynamic chess.
Underrated series. Some people need the gimmicks and crazy antics, but the real ones love some analysis and high level chess with a high level chess player. Thanks for continuing this🤙🏼🤙🏼.
16:58 "He is more than welcome to play until mate" Nice to see an IM say this, whereas many 1700 rated players fret about opponents not resigning when they are in a dead lost position..
@@cupmaster6642 dude no people are bored af because they have lives and things to do . What did i do in my life to play an endgame with a dumbass where it is clearly straight up losing . It is like m15 or something there is nothing I push pawn I win .
That 4th game was incredible and really fun to watch. And your grudging acceptance that the attack actually had some teeth was entertaining, thanks to both of you!
"What better way to spend bright sunday morning with a nice sunny outside than sitting in front of a screen and playing chess." My life during the pandemic.
Hi, I would totally be down for this! I’m very active on the Gotham discord so if you join you can reach out to me from there! I’m happy to answer any questions you have :)
I literally watch your channel instead of TV now. I've completely fallen in love with chess again thanks to your analyses. By the way-do you know anything about shogi, Japanese chess? Would be really interested to see how a high-rated chess player takes to shogi, especially if they've never played it before. The game has a few more pieces than chess, and when you capture your opponent's pieces you can put them back on the board and use them yourself, so the game gets more crowded and complicated as it progresses. (Video idea suggestion.)
I sometimes read that people think of Levy being cocky or arrogant, but he's not. He is just provoking the viewer to play better chess. He's not trying to make the viewer feel good about their chess, but trying for them to become a better player. Levy is an excellent chess teacher.
Reminds me of when we used to get physically punished as students when we were younger, instilling respect and discipline. Sad that they don’t do that anymore.
Hi Levy, I wanted to let you know that your content has really helped me get deeper into my chess analysis and thinking over the pandemic. I started out as a 700 two years ago and today I am 1600. Even though 1600 is not very high, I want to thank you for everything because your content is so much more than just chess :)
1600 is a very high rating. I’m a 1700 but I’d say that anything over 1000 at this point is intermediate and 1500 is where you get from good to great. Of course we’re nothing like the 2000 rated experts but 1600 is nothing to sneeze at.
@@haveaniceday3128 @Cody Levant I recently crossed 1700 in rapid too. 2000 is my goal. Lets go boys we're all gonna make it! Only a matter of time when there is content like this on youtube for free

@@bryanmavis8771 To be fair the difference of background sound when he's speaking and when he's not when he claims there is a lot of noise is that much more noticeable than usual, I think that shows the software is hiding things

Great episode in a great series! Nice lessons in queen-less middle games and positional play. Nice work by the subs to push high level play by our protagonist! Thanks for the hard work delivering these five games!
It’s really interesting to note that white actually has one final trick available in the first game - taking the protected pawn on g3! It can’t be captured because the h pawn will queen, and Black actually has to play very precisely to keep advantage (Stockfish gives …Ke6 as the only move for white to be better after Bxg3)
Longer than I'm used to, but yeah, got through the whole recording. Could see it was getting real for you at around 1850. It kept things interesting though. As usual, learned a lot 👍
Levy... these are truly the most educational videos you provide... literally an insight into the mind. I go from 1000-1200 in a day just from ONE video.. imagine if I applied myself and watched em all!. THANK YOU GOAT!
1:06:20 If he had one more move, Rook behind the queen, g pawn up. You not taking is best but then he can run over your defense. You moving your queen back stopped that from happening. If he did my way, check mate was in 3 but was not forced and your queen could stop it either way.
I don't know if this is already a thing, but I would love to see a new series called Color swap, where you play a game and during the game, if the evaluation is under 1.0, one of your viewers can call for color swap, where you switch the board and play against your own position.
Thanks to you Levy, I've started using the Scandinavian alot more and trying the Portuguese and Icelandic and have found lots of success. I feel way more comfortable in those lines than playing in the Italian or Sicilian
Couldn't White just take the g pawn at 15:57 in the first game? It's still very much winning, but g3 is just a blunder of a pawn after Bxg3 since you can't take the Bishop or the h pawn promotes
Hi levy, I just want to thank you very much for your content. I started a year ago as a 700 and now I'm 1400. Eventhough 1400 is not a really high rating, Thank you very much for all this content
Just picked up the intermediate course. Will probably sit on it for a couple of months to work on getting some games in and getting my rating up to the start of the range, but can't wait to get to it.
I think black's opening in the second last game was prep. I've faced something similar in blitz a few times, usually with e5 f5 right away. The idea is to either get a quick pawn storm going down that side or clog the h1-a8 diagonal to interfere with your good bishop. It's not great but in blitz when you're not expecting it there is some danger there for white.
Hey, that was me playing! I have prep in the Sicilian where I play 2.nh3 and no prep against the English so I just played the reverse of my Sicilian prep! And yeah, you pretty much got my idea spot on there!
I LOVE your Win At Chess series, or any live chess shows that you play in. Thank you so much. -M ps. Please don't pre-capture that often, sometimes it makes the game hard to follow.
Gotham my man! I’m a big fan. Love your content and I’m about to have all your courses purchased finally. Hey I was curious. Would you ever do an English opening course? Warmest regards brother.
I am hooked on all these chess youtuber's videos. You all bring something different that makes me appreciate this beautiful game that I wish I would've had more interest in before.
So glad to see another one of these. These climbs are definitely my favorite kind of content, though I wouldn't mind it you went up the ladder again sometime.
At 16:05 instead of bc5, opponent could had won a pawn with Bxg3 with possibility of a passed pawn. But not necessary to take the bishop back with the knight. Don't know other variation from there Wow i was able to predict a high level move hurray :P
The whole episode you complain about lighting and sound but the lighting makes you look flawless and your mic filters are on point. Great content as always, thanks for making all of this
Always watch the Win at Chess to the end. Love the content. Keep 'em coming. Looking forward to seeing a subscriber actually beat you. Now that would be content. So, keep upping the ratings of the challengers.
Hey! At 15:58, couldn't the opponent just take the pawn with Bxg3 ? If then Nxg3 white plays h6 and promotes... Black doesn't need to take the bishop back and is still winning, but has lost a pawn (Great video btw)
I wonder if your microphone settings are optimal. The complete silence when your microphone turns off between speaking emphasizes the background noise when actually speaking. Great video regardless!
In the final game (the one with 2100elo) your opponent let you do the queenside expansion. What do if your opponent starts kingside expansion? (Like f4, g4, f5 type of stuff, or Qg4, h4, h5 with all pieces attacking kingside)
Levy can you make a video detailing all of the candidates? Maybe show some strengths and weaknesses, peaks and valleys, strong games against eachother. I want to get hype for the candidates
Great video, great content. I enjoy the long form discussion, but recognize the metrics are not idea for the channel. Thank-you for sharing your thoughts.
Hey Gotham, just wanted to say that I clicked on this video for a quick match watch and ended up watching the entire thing. Congratulations and keep up this amazing channel
38:00 "Wow it's saying trade rook for the knight and black has no play for the rest of the game, Stockfish is such a scumbag" lmao u right Gotham u right
Love your stuff as always Levy, I've become a much better player thanks to your videos. One thing I would like, though, is if you could write the openings in the chapters. But even if you don't I'm very grateful for this content.
@GothamChess Dude, huge oversight (of both sides) in the end game of game 1! The black pawn marching towards promotion on the g file ACTUALLY could not be moved on to g3 (as happened in the game), as white's bishop on f2 could simply have taken it off the board! Black's knight in that case didn't have the chance to take back and snatch up the bishop as then that knight would not be 'back' in time to stop white's pawn that also is moving towards promotion on the h file!
I love how the fourth opponent absolutely succeeded on a psychological level. With the combination of "dumb" opening and silly profile photo, he convinced white that his opponent is "stupid" (although people don't get 1900+ ratings for playing stupid opponents), provoked moves like Qa4 which was letting the guard down, and then struck with imaginative attack on the kingside. Bravo for Snacqk!
15:58 Levy I did a computer analysis and turns out g3 is a mistake, because the opponent could just take the pawn, and if after bxg3, you do nxg3, you aren't fast enough to stop the H pawn (Although Ke6 instead of nxg3 would still be winning)
I really don't know why, but I love watching chess. I can watch a stream of some fps game and turn it off 30 minutes in, but I always try to watch all these 2 hour long videos. I don't know why, but it's so entertaining watching pictures move on a board 5 times a minute rather than a 60 frame per second game.
My favorite of your series. And I do watch till end. Those are the best games. Waiting for 21. Kind of wish you played a Sicilian and not the Bishop on G7. More of a classical Sicilian and maybe throw in a Ruy Lopez and and an Italian game. Thanks for the great content. Good luck.
I want to take advantage of the sake and buy a course or two but I'm stupid. Please film and post a walkthrough. How does it work? Am I just able to download teaching videos?

I really don't know why, but I love watching chess. I can watch a stream of some fps game and turn it off 30 minutes in, but I always try to watch all these 2 hour long videos. I don't know why, but it's so entertaining watching pictures move on a board 5 times a minute rather than a 60 frame per second game.
16:00 b×g3 is possible see 16:00
My favorite of your series. And I do watch till end. Those are the best games. Waiting for 21. Kind of wish you played a Sicilian and not the Bishop on G7. More of a classical Sicilian and maybe throw in a Ruy Lopez and and an Italian game. Thanks for the great content. Good luck.
I want to take advantage of the sake and buy a course or two but I'm stupid. Please film and post a walkthrough. How does it work? Am I just able to download teaching videos?
I love this Levy, ty so much for putting out this. hope you keep making this
Legend says flipnerd007 is still requesting for a game with levy.
I wanna see a rematch vs. Snacqk. That game was intense.
I’m never gonna turn down an opportunity to play levy so if Levy is down I absolutely am too
You should make one of these videos playing your fans with chess chat on
This killed a good 1/4th of my layover in Tampa. Thanks Levy!!!!!
37:45 makes me feel good about guessing the move during the game :D
Rc5 against the 1800 player was my first thought. I am studying “how to reasses your chess” and this sacrifice was in one of the games.
my favourite series! Very instructive!
