@@hakushokuhikari he’s playing against a near grandmaster and a 1300 probably wouldn’t see it, he said he was trying to play like a 1300. What did I say wrong exactly?
The series is NOT called, How to win EVERY game," not even a GM would guarantee THAT. And besides, you learn more when you LOOSE then when you WIN. Course then you know you have to evolve.
those types of players make me want to think even longer not that i would ever purposefully stall out the clock, but like you picked the time control so that’s your problem not mine
Why would you play classical if you don't want to wait for other people's moves? LMAO. It's chess we're talking about, time is a privilege to make moves unlike any other games
Best series! I actually wish you would do a rating climb again with your courses like you did forever ago with kings Indian rating climbs and the like. Do rating climbs with your courses. Vienna, Dutch, Caro rating climbs. Would be awesome!
TBH I love this series....literally rewatch this series all the time and e4 or d4 openings and its so good. Entertainment and educational co tent all in one...please continue this series Levi😂❤❤
This series is very insightful I watched this video and immediately started a rapid match to improve my elo. I was very excited to show my new powers then ended up losing twice in a row.
7:27 It's anecdotical but I think you are right levy, I am 1400 and whenever my opponent pushes the a and b pawn they usually kick my knight after I respond with a4
Thanks for bringing these back, Levy. I know it's a long shot you'll see this but your win at chess series has always been my favorite, just hits for me in every way since you're playing games but the whole setup is based around showing thought process
I've been truly enjoying your content. I started getting serious about chess in January 2024 and I watch your videos everyday. I am a owner of your book as well as your E4 course. I also just used your "spring" discount to buy your beginner course. I may never be a great chess player, but I am convinced I can be a good chess player. Keep doing you. If you choose to pursue the GM title hopefully we can support you on that journey.
I mean… well, if black went something like a6, Nd5 by white would be the best move. If after Nd5 black took the queen, there is a tactic Nxe7+. King moves, white recaptures the queen and the knight on e7 can either take the free pawn and escape or trade itself for the bishop (basically it isnt getting trapped). If after Nd5 black goes Qd8, defeding the bishop, white would do Nxe7+ anyway because after black goes Qxe7, white puts a lot of pressure on black with something like Nd4 (pawn is hanging, knight pinned to the Queen, bishop on f5 hanging thanks to another tactic…). There is just a lot of pressure on black and white has a better position, so yes, if it was white’s move, it would be a tactic :)
at 41:50 u had e3 which he cant take beacuse ur theatning a discovered check to win the queen. and if he defends that you can support your e3 pawn with f4
I really love Levy's teaching skills. He is a better chess teacher than player, and this type of content is (imo) some of his greatest contributions to chess.
Levy, I think what this series lacks is Twitch chat. Your first 7 or 8 episodes of htwac (and other series like 1.e4/1.d4) had that comic relief from the chat, while providing instructional information, combining teaching with joy. That’s what keeps people on the screens, increasing watch time. The energy in those vids is top-notch - no mumbling around when waiting for your opponents to move, there is always a topic to discuss, and chat never fails to generate something random, which .is. entertaining. I hope this catches your eye, as I don’t want this series to be gone again due to communities inactivity
Really enjoying the return to this series! I think it'd be cool if you added an eye tracker so we can see where on the screen your eyes go as you calculate and decide on your moves
I have a lot of the courses and they really helped me improve. Openings are my favorite part of chess learning. I like this series because you show how to play the opening well into the middle game and end game while explaining the long term goals of the opening.
Hey Leevi Rowsman, I would like to ask whether you could do a video where 5 important concepts are shown in order to arrive to 1200 chess elo - like the 1000 elo one, which was really helpful. I thank you
there we go gotham! absolutely loved this episode bro very instructional and funny! your bot vids where getting abit boring, but for any beginner to intermediate chess player, that seriously wants to improve, this is GOLD! and its 1hour and 30mins, and i was captivated all the way through! Thankyou Gotham!
Good game for the last two. Very nice and interesting. Levi, don't beat yourself up, especially before you have finished the game. The last game demonstrated to me how important a positive mindset is.
Levy I hope you see this but if not that’s okay. I love your how to win at chess episodes and have watched every single one of them I’d like to thank you for the most funny, calming, and most importantly entertaining. I nearly spend almost every night watching a video from you, thank you for doing what you do:)
bought the book twice ,real book and e version ,its a brilliant book ,very well written and the chessly integration is also a lovely touch adds so much value to an already well priced book

I want to say, thank you for making me, a beginner, not feel like a complete idiot while playing and learning chess. I watched about 4 hours of your content before trying chess for the first time since I was a child last week. And I came into that game too confident. I thought since I have been studying I was in a better odds. I lost my first match and immediately got humbled. I've gotten a little bit better since last week and won several matches. But again, I want to say thank you for not making me feel like an idiot while learning.
As a 700 some of my opponents play the scandinavian defense and they always lose because either they blunder their queen or their queen is under so much pressure that they fall behind in development so unless you are above 2000 maybe you shouldn't play it.
I'm 1250 and I've had success with the scandinavian but I totally see your point. If you don't know a bit of theory in this opening, that's exactly what happens to you. I prefer the caro, e6-b6, french or the dutch defense.
I'm getting really tense at 51:31 wondering if Levy is going to play the recommendation from his course, which his instincts are telling him to play, or if he'll trade and relieve some tension.

Weakens the e-pawn a lot, weakens the rest of the structure too
The number of times levy says the word “instructive” in this video is very instructive
My fav series, so glad it’s back. Rewatched the old ones too many times 😂❤
This is my favorite series! Such a nice pace, please keep it weekly!

I'd love to see a King's Gambit in this series. I think it'd be a great example of making a comeback, and I play it occasionally
Love the explanation of the dark square bishop trade in the position in the second game. Great way to explain the why behind the sequence.
i stopped watching your channel for over a year. this series has brought me back!!! thank you for bringing this back please don’t stop buddy!

In 1:22:07 was there Queen takes Knight for white and then royal fork? And after all his pawns are ruined?
Bro last opponent was on fire
Very very entertaining to see levy struggle 😂
5:15 if it was white to move knight d5 is a tactic or not ? (900 elo asking)
I mean… well, if black went something like a6, Nd5 by white would be the best move. If after Nd5 black took the queen, there is a tactic Nxe7+. King moves, white recaptures the queen and the knight on e7 can either take the free pawn and escape or trade itself for the bishop (basically it isnt getting trapped).

ah yes a chess movie
At 36:00 He should have forked the queen and rook with the knight instead of roaming around shouldn't he?
He missed it
Nvm it's protected by the rook I'm blind
35:51 Josh Waitzkin calls this concept “the space left behind” in his book. The entire thing is worth a read.
