    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...

      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

    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

    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?

    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

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.

    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.
