@@kylemenos True. Some captures are instinctive because of experience and/or pattern recognition. But newer players don't have that yet so they have to assess the board first.
Hey Levy, I’m 45 and just starting to study chess a bit. Your videos are a blast and I watch them in my studio in front of my chess board when I’m not doing my actual job which is sound for video games. Keep up the awesome work. Many thanks from Vancouver 🙏
Hey Levy, wanted to let you know I stuck around for the whole video and glad I did! This video really brought out the beauty in chess for me. Chess has been my quarantine activity and this does a good job showing what sacrifices are good and why which is where I waste ton of time over the board. Keep up the good work!
It's astonishing how much calmer Levy is when he's not streaming. A chill guy, very instructional, very pleasant to listen to. Not saying the "streamer" Levy is any better or worse, just the viewer experience is so...different. It's almost like Levy has 2 personalities, and the only difference between them is how much coffee he drank throughout the day lol. Again - this is absolutely not meant to be a negative comment in the slightest, just thought i would share my experience... P.S. - Still waiting for that Nimzo-Indian vid :)
I really love how he doesn’t have to deal with any annoying chat trolls and he doesn’t go off topic, just pure information. One thing I did like about the live chat tho is when they ask good questions or question levy, prompting him for further explanations.
Day 81: Of requesting Levy to cover opposite coloured bishop endgames. Especially when you have a slight material advantage of being up by two or three pawns against your opponent and you both have opposite coloured bishops as well.
@@shriram9933 did you watch his videos properly? Most of the games that he shows are games where the kings castle, its super rare to see one where one of the players dont castle. Just pay attention when he talks about either player idea to attack.
I think it's just a draw with correct play since the bishops can't attach eachother , main point to keep in mind is that your bishop should win the opponent's pawns or coverr the promotion square and keep your pieces on the opposite color of the opponent's bishop , i think But levy should absolutely bring endgames series back
@Gabrieledude, I know that's a beginner type of concept but you know there are so many ways of doing that so if there can be a video which collects them all it would be good right 👍.
@@Crustee0 dude, I know that's a beginner type of concept but you know there are so many ways of doing that so if there can be a video which collects them all it would be good right 👍. And watching games and learning concepts are different. A proper video for it would be better😎
I also stuck around to the 67th minute. I know the last dude took a long time but I would have been nervous and overthinking too - I think it was still a very instructional game and don't mind if they take a while. If you run out of lines/tactics to go over in the game itself, you can talk about other chess stuff - games you played in the past with similar lines, chess news, whatever. Thx for all your content!
Just wanted to quickly say how much I appreciate all the content you’re putting out atm - I’ve got 2 weeks off from work and loving being able to catch up on all your videos! Thanks so much! :)
For those wondering, the tactic at 24:57 was after ...Bg4 you do Bxf7+ Kxf7 Ne5+ Kg8 Nxg4, so now material is equal and you have a lead in development, so you have the benefits of the gambit without the drawback. Black also doesn't have the right to castle so it's harder to connect the rooks. Engine says it's +2 for white :D
Made it in 67 minutes ;) While we're in this conversation, you might get this a lot so you might be sick of hearing this, but. When I started picking up chess again, it was with your videos. They tought me openings, strategies and made me improve my game. Went from 600 to 1000 in 3 months now and I want to thank you for this!
Moved from struggling in 800 to 960 watching your videoes man! Still struggling with some end games and through things away some times. Top 5 things i have implemented: 1. Stick with the same opening 2. When king castle attack the king side with pawns. 3. Quick development of your pieces 4. Dont trade unless you are ahead material 5. Establish great defence with tour pawn
For the 10th episode, you should do a streamer special where you go up the rating ladder against different chess streamers or streamers who can at least play chess. Pokimane, QTCinderalla, Ludwig, Northernlion etc Maybe put money on the line for extra fun?
See I love Eric Rosen, he’s a little bit more calmer and i think more put together. But Levy just has such a lively personality. He’s not afraid to be himself and we as viewers love it. AND ON TOP OF THAT HE BE POSTING TWICE A DAY AND I LOVE IT
Thanks for the wholesome content Gotham! You’ve helped my chess rating grow over the past couple months from ~650 to 920! Still more room to grow obviously but anything helps!
Don't sweat running out of things to say man. Talking to yourself for over an hour is something you build towards, but you still managed to keep me engaged. Thank you very much for all that you do, and I too "look forward for the next one"
Made it 67 minutes into the video ! Got into chess three days ago, puzzles are now my only occupation in the two to three hours of bus and tramway. Still lost in the sea of things to learn, but I like it. Trying to understand most common endgames for the moment before going about openings and gambits and defenses et caetera. I am 18 and that's late for chess, but I want to learn it so that I can get a headstart to a possible future child. Really love your channel, it is very instructive and amusing, as well as interesting and funny. That's perfect.
67 minutes in. After watching chess content during the pandemic, I finally decided to start learning. Made my account on Feb 2nd and beat a 1400 bot a couple weeks ago, which finally gave me enough confidence to start playing real people. Been watching a ton of your content, you make great videos. Still need to learn openings though.
1:14:00 - This was my best take away from this video. Look at your structure more as you use pawns. I am currently at 1200 5 min blitz and this is exactly the kind of stuff i get stuck at. I get out of the opening, i get into the middle game and then i'm quite often wondering which pawn to push to attack in any closed position. So this is a new way of thinking for me.
Thank you for all the great content, lately especially for the chess history, great stuff. Would you be interested in making a video about chess history from a broader perspective, for example how the prevalent playing styles changed in different eras, important theoretical discoveries etc.? Id love to know more about these topics and you are such a great teacher and presenter. Thanks!
Più che giorni, sono 37 video solo che é brutto scrivere video numero 37 ahahah però considerando che ha fatto una pausa per un pó di giorni, ma a volte pubblica 2 video in un giorno, probabilmente si, sono circa 37 giorni 👌
58:23 Levy here I found a great move which wins the bishop: Your dark square bishop moves out of danger to a7 (not to b6) And after that, u play rock to b6 (or b7 or b8- just expose his a2 rock). His rock must move and after he moves, no matter where - u win his b2 bishop sence it has no guard anymore :)
Watched the whole video. I started really learning and practicing hard 2 weeks ago. started at Elo 350 after playing a bunch online. Your vids, especially this series, as well as the Chess.com membership has brought me back up into the fighting 450s ahahahahaha. Thank you for this content. Its great. Also hello from Kotzebue Alaska.
Levy I really enjoy your content as an italian chess fan I don’t skip any of your videos of this series, they’re just entertaining to watch and very helpful
As a member of the Comment Reading Association (CRA), I’m here to read comments and have a good time. Please keep the comments short and simple. We do appreciate your typing efforts. Also please watch your spelling. Thank you and have a good day.
Love your your win at Chess episodes Levy. I’ve watched them all multiple times. Your passion for the game and sharing what you know combined with your talent for teaching and highly entertaining commentary sets you apart from every chess streamer out there. I understand your hesitation in going through what it will take to become a GM. It will not enhance your online presence which is substantial. That said, in your choose field it does seem to be the logical next step. How can you incorporate your work with your online business with preparing for the classical chess tournament play need to gain GM status?

@39:59 take knight with rook. queen captures ur rook. move queen to check king while being protected by the bishop. king forced move. lines up fork of queen and king with other rook
I've watched the first 67 minutes. Staying till the end. I'm rubbish at chess and too old to start memorising all the different openings and gambits. It takes me all my time to think checks, captures and attacks. Thanks to you and Anna for that. Bit I quite often forget to even do all of those. Still, it's only a game.
Leaving a comment to say I just listened to this start to finish and really appreciate the depth that you go into. It's approachable and instructive for a 1200 player like myself. ALSO since I started watching your videos I've been analyzing and calculating my games with your voice in my head so make of that what you will.
reasons for why fans are nervous against gothamchess: 1. You are being recorded for a video or you are on stream 2. Gotham is the stronger player 3. Gotham is so damn handsome
Just finished watching the whole series after about 2 or 3 weeks. Great series, learned a lot, would definitely watch new installments. Also as a suggestion, I don't know if you'd want to as I know you like to sell your openings manuals but I would love to see longer videos on openings and more details into possible lines. Great channel as always.
I got my rapid to 1100 and my blitz to 1000 because of the many things I learn from your videos! I look forward to watching your videos everyday but I hope you also take some time to rest! Nothing but love, man.
Thanks so much for the video again I love them all, could you do a longer video on the London system? I’ve been trying to play it but at my beginner level people don’t play the moves you showed in the 10 minute one 🙏
I highly doubt Gotham will ever see this but I’ve been playing this weird variation lately called the Czech-Indian variation and I can’t find any information on it whatsoever but I would love to see you do a video on this sometime
for those who want to know about the tactic at 25:03 if the move Bg4 were played, white would play Ne5, apparently blundering the queen. however, black should NOT take the queen as if Bxd1 happens, white will play Bxf7, which is checkmate
Hahaha, if no one comments something stupid in like 12hours, one of us may have to sacrifice and take one for the team, just throw out some stupid "The Traxler is fundamentally unsound" or "C5 Qb6 just destroys the London."
Started to play chess a few months ago, been watching your videos since day 1 I started. Kinda learned to play with your content! Went from 450 elo at first to a 1000 right now and hope to keep grinding! Thanks for your content your doing an amazing job, keep it up and looking forward to episode 10! 👌🙌

You bamboozled me.
This is an inconsistency.
Beat me to it
It's consistency and appreciation all the way down.
😂😂. This needs to be pinned .
Levy: don’t just snap take
Also levy: don’t even think take the bishop
That is so true
ya Levy is a good teacher but he sometimes contradicts himself like that, so I’ve noticed. His “blanket rules” aren’t extremely refined
Only ims can lol
He doesnt need to see the move happen to know the outcome. Him snap taking is from experience but he is saying be careful when your playing because he's teaching new or average players.
@@kylemenos True. Some captures are instinctive because of experience and/or pattern recognition. But newer players don't have that yet so they have to assess the board first.
To summarize: Always say you’re gonna castle long, and then don’t, castle short
It's more about the mindset of believing you're going to castle long. It's one of those mental tricks

1:07:11 our conversation Levi
Thanks so much for the video again I love them all, could you do a longer video on the London system? I’ve been trying to play it but at my beginner level people don’t play the moves you showed in the 10 minute one 🙏
Watching your videos has gotten me back into chess and I’ve climbed 250 points in the last month learning tactics from you, appreciate the help!
Gotham, you work so hard everyday and you deserve all the fame u got ..
Luv yah ❤
Last time I was this early the fan was still on fair play
*Dewa kepas* 🌚
Day 1 of translating Levy’s video title to Norwegian. “Nyt søndagen din!”
Bra jobbat
That sound like plain English with a Scottish accent lol. "Ha' a gød Sondae, lad!"
@@maxkho00 I mean, yeah, why do you think Scots call kids "bairns?"
Kids in Norwegian is “Barn”
@@Dark_OFW Correct, bairn is a cognate
Been watching this whole video, loving all the instructional value. I went and played a game at 92 accuracy right after watching this.
Great video Levy! Really cool to see different strategies that can play out. Arrows are super helpful!
I highly doubt Gotham will ever see this but I’ve been playing this weird variation lately called the Czech-Indian variation and I can’t find any information on it whatsoever but I would love to see you do a video on this sometime
I think he filmed this before or after the last vid cus he's wearing the same shirt. Btw love you Levy. You are my greatest chess teacher
Yes I will enjoy my Sunday. Hope you do too
for those who want to know about the tactic at 25:03
if the move Bg4 were played, white would play Ne5, apparently blundering the queen. however, black should NOT take the queen as if Bxd1 happens, white will play Bxf7, which is checkmate
I make it to the end more often with long videos like these then the others. A episode of guess the elo or win at chess just makes my day man
Poor Bailey played a pretty good game and then out of nowhere got completely eviscerated.
Original title: Enjoy your Sunday
Who else is waiting for the pin of shame?
Which sorry soul gets pinned today?
Hahaha, if no one comments something stupid in like 12hours, one of us may have to sacrifice and take one for the team, just throw out some stupid "The Traxler is fundamentally unsound" or "C5 Qb6 just destroys the London."
