      Yeah because being higher rated means that we can find a lot of the best moves given time. Doesn’t mean that we still don’t play some games like 600s. I recently played this 1450 when I was around 1470 and bruh lowkey I need to get that on chess the elo, trust Levy wouldn’t think it was played by people above 900.

    In the locker room of the varsity chess team during HT.
    Coach: What the fuck was that out there! Simon, Bishop to E3? Really??!! You're killing me, bro. Anderson, I told you NOT to play the Vienna! You suck at the Vienna! From now on stick to the Caro Cann! And Peters, what was all that showboating with your rook before castling? I know your girlfriend is in the audience, but stay focused on the wood in front of you until the match is over. I want to see aggression, people! I want to see unrelenting pressure. You're warriors! You're cavemen with brains!

    Dude, you are freaking amazing. Also, love the subtle New York humor. My wife looks at me curiously when I laugh out loud watching your videos, since I usually have my headphones on. She doesn't see how a chess video could be funny. Anyway, I have been stuck at about 1000 rating. Been playing about six months. I realized that I had no plan for my pawn endgame. I always groaned when it got to the endgame. Was too lazy to learn strategy. Who wants to learn boring pawn endgames, right? Like . . . why would the fourth quarter of a football game matter, right? Duh. I finally realized I needed to learn this crap. I pulled my chessboard out, and meticulously went over this video (I also went over Queen and Pawn Endgame). I felt like I was back in college playing the Mike Tyson Punchout video game (long before your time). My buddies and I could never knock Tyson out, until my brother bought a book that gave the secrets to beating Tyson (By the way, "books" are pages of writing bound in cardboard, in case you're not sure what a book is! Hey, how's that for New York humor, right?). Your endgames videos are like that to me. Wow. Oh, I'm not sure if you read all of your comments, but, if you do, give a shout out to my daughter's song about Chess, called "Chessboard." Yeah, this is a cheap plug, but it's not why I watched your videos. Her name is Amanda Fagan. Who writes songs about chess, right? On that issue alone, she should get a metal. Besides, the song is actually freaking awesome. It's on TH-cam and Spotify. Keep up the great work. I'm going to keep watching your endgame videos. Can't wait to torture other people with my newfound knowledge. (I posted this message on a few of your videos because I don't know if you read all of the comments on all of your videos, since you have so many comments).

    Levy always reminding me to be the offensive enema and soften up the enemy defenses is encouraging. As someone who was constipated twice as a child, I recognize that enemas are helpful to softening up hard, stubborn defenses. Also, the fact that he mentions “Win at chess episode 12” throughout the entire video, and then the thumbnail....... cheers. Love the content, Levy. Keep it up.

    in second game you had a better play with queen. at 17:27 you had to play queen to g3 instead of h6 which is a less obvious mate maneuver because then you attack h7 with black square bishop, and at that point his pawn is pinned to king so whatever he does after that move wont stop mate with queen to g7.

      @Wilsbourne 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah I think Levy is actually correct in saying "less" because he's using it to describe the word "active"; he's not using it to describe the word "pieces". If he were referring to the pieces, then yes he would have to say "fewer pieces". But it's certainly valid to say "more active" or "less active". So saying black has "less active pieces" is perfectly fine.
