So I was a 1300 otb classical went 5/6 at Illinois state board 5 4 months after learning chess and what he was saying at 11:03 is entirely true. I worked my ass off but my natural pattern recognition was always very strong
8:40 Levy was trying to bait that queen move which would win the queen once you take the knight with the dark square bishop. But Levy rolled a d20 scoring a critical on his speech check.
For the 800-level players watching, or at least for me, it helps to know why h3 was played at 41:10. What's the thinking there? Ok, he explains it, I think, at 42:42: it gives his king a way out of a back-rank mate. Was he thinking that when he made the move a minute and a half earlier?
The second last game looked the most like defenses I actually face when playing games in my range (1150-1300). Really handy to watch how you handled it.
A lot of people wouldn't climb to rating they picked, but can hold it - due to styles, opening used etc. I'm ~600 and played 1k+ players who seemed like gods, played ones who couldn't figure out how to progress and lost on time too.
Facial expressions are absolute king!! Commentary is just an added bonus. I am not laughing, my own mistakes are just as bad if not worse at times. Chess is always easier when you are watching.
I agree. If you hang your King you lose. The object of chess should be simply to capture the King, no checks or checkmates. This doesn't change anything for top players since a check is just a threat to capture the King and a check-mate is an unavoidable capture of the King on your opponents next move. They would play by moving their King out of check and trying to avoid checkmate. But for beginners the rules of the game are much easier to understand. Also, this eliminates stalemate.
When I tried to be Levy : I played Nimzo Indian - My opponent played Advanced caro kann- I played queens gambit accepted and my opponent played shirov variation and He wins.
Keep doing the rating climb series. Learning so much from them :) An interesting idea is to do rating climb while focusing on a few points. For example: pawn play in middle game, coordination of pieces, how to spot mistakes, etc.
I love the queens gambit for a few months now, I am ~1200 and I find that you get QGD in shorter time controls (bullet, 3+0), 50/50 at 5+0 or 3+2, and they always accept it when I play rapid. anyone else noticed this?
8:42, trying to punish streamsniper, u remove defender of queen, trade bishop for knight, then discovered attack bishop sacked for pawn with check but wins queen
Online chess sites allowing you to hang your king would be fun. You lose some of the satisfaction when the program doesn't allow. Wins feel really good in person when someone does that and you can flourish your piece over to bump the king off the board. This would also make online end games more dicey. If only legal moves are allowed in online end game, as is the current standard, it's easier to squeeze through on time as the program shows you exactly where you can and cannot move by default.
In chess, the objective of the game is to take the enemy king and mate just means "i win in the next move". So yes, you should be able to hang your king
Why I am at ridiculous rating above 2000 on lichess in solving puzzles (I also see needed moves in few seconds). But then I lose to some 1200 rated people, maybe because I dont know theory and dont want play boring games. Often I blunder pieces - or we just trade all and its boring. I only play max 5 min games, never did anything else. Any idea? How to check my real rating?
There is some days, I win 20 in a row. But other days I just blunder in every game, get frustrated, lose more, and lose all rating again. Without learning anything...bullshit.
Sometimes I know enemy plays stupid bad moves. But somehow he wiggles out and in the end I end up worse and down whole piece... Its more like a feeling, whats good or bad. But I have 0 feeling about my moves. Only after I see what I played, I realize...
These rating climbs are so enjoyable, just watching this guy absolutely destroy these 1200 rated players
Thought I'd show you all how not to play the caro kann, you're welcome 😉
Nice name you got there.
Somebody’s gotta lose for him to teach us
These rating climbs are gold. So fun to watch, very instructive, and watching you interact with the chat makes it more entertaining.

When someone asked the best counter for London and someone said brexit
lmfao
You will pay a fine in France if you play the berlin opening there.
JK ofcourse

eric rosen did video on that, you'll get the bishop for free

Just want to say while there aren't many comments. I love your videos and you have helped me climb like 300+ in ratings. Thanks so much.
I find it really cute how he tells the chat to say bye to youtube and they all do. :)
At 51:18, 1.Rxg6+ Kf7 2.Rg7+ is mate next move!
You got me laughing when you said I didn’t know I was playing Botez. 😂 Nice video as usual.
100k !! Congratulations Levy !! 🎉🎉
I’m that rating range and you helping so much beat those 1200s thank you

gotham pin me like how my opponent pins my king and queen
Now that's what I call a cursed comment.
jesus time
Oof
pin me like one of your french girls
Didn’t happen
Been watching you awhile now. keep grinding bro👌🏼
Hangs queen, Levy: "That's how it goes when you are 1200"... me: meanwhile climbing throught the 700's and never have been above 1000...
Who else want levy to do a play magnus series?
👇
Omg i want this soo badly😍🤩
We need more content like this and how to win at chess as that shows play at the intermediate level too

Learned a lot from you. Keep up the good work
at 33:15 after black played H6, white had rook E1
"What's my favorite medium? Large."
Never clicked so fast
Nice cut g

Every time someone hangs a queen early in my games I say "Was that book?" people get heated.
I'd just laugh it off and do like Finegold: "Still theory"
Please do another London system video! Thanks!
Love your videos Levy !!
24:14 Isn't Bg5 a winning move there? If queen takes, Qxd7 is just a mate.
i know im kinda late, but black doesn't have to take. They can just go to c8 or c7 or smth. I mean it's still a trap but not a winning move
thank you levy, very cool!
Clean and clear content. Much better than your rivals. Keep up the good work. Congrats on 100k subs.
And look how far he's come now! 😊
Hey Levy I love that you consider so much cool stuff besides chess, like Pokemon and Yugioh
I love the queens gambit for a few months now, I am ~1200 and I find that you get QGD in shorter time controls (bullet, 3+0), 50/50 at 5+0 or 3+2, and they always accept it when I play rapid. anyone else noticed this?
Thx for the awesome content !
33:06 rook e1 is forcemate in 2
The London is by far my favorite opening.
@30:39 why not take the rook with queen then the knight after the block for checkmate? Am I missing something there?
It not white's move.
La Vie en Rose is a song by Edith Piaf. What I'm wondering, though, is why Levy En Rose is rated at 1226?
Really great series. Learning soo much 😀
Very instructive and entertaining.
Noticed the title format for videos aren't standardized, means that pt3 often wont be recommended up next after pt2 video
52:26, why not bishop takes g6 and Mate on h7?
Congratulations 🎉❤Levi
Friendly #suggestion for an E6 B6 rating climb video. Love these keep up the great work 👌
He did a lot of it in the black pieces/king's Indian run
The yugioh reference was awesome 🔥
@8:45 stream snipe trap to win the queen but queen was lost either way
Like ya cut, G
yup
Congrats levy for 100k!!
8:42, trying to punish streamsniper, u remove defender of queen, trade bishop for knight, then discovered attack bishop sacked for pawn with check but wins queen
Love this
Good job
Thanks
yugi oh references ftw. Please do commentary as if you are in yugi oh. I play my gambit face down and end my turn.
congratz to 100k!!! pls make more analysis videos agadmator style..
Hey Levy
What happens @21:28 if dxe5
thank you for this sir levy
12:45'teyim
Congrats on 100k!
i had to hit the like button after the giga gamer comment lmaooo
21:30 Levy says [5. e3 e5] traps the bishop, but can't white just play Bxe5?
No, because black has f6 and he will still trap the bishop with g5 and h4
@@Frykizh Oh wow, I overlooked the simple pawn play. Thanks for replying!
@@XoIoRouge no worries mate
42:28 doesn't Rd8 just win the exchange?

Levy looks so noble in the thumbnail
Congrats on 100k
\o/ I've been waiting for this one
Jeeeeea.... GG means "good Game".
Thats a recognition for the enemy that He played Well 😁
Awesome, I always play the Blackmar diemer gambit, and when they decline I just wing it 😂😂😂
7:49 I believe that a lot of people play this way, specially those hustlers in the park.
Giga gamer 📯
Levy you painted that !?!?? that's sick
Do you have the next part of the series scheduled? Would love to join the stream for that :-)
Please, make videos about moddern defense e4 g6 d4 Bg7 and The Sinper Defense xD Thanks for the content!
Would love some more of D4 and kings indian rating climb. Please?
Same.
Wanna give a big gg (GigaGamer) to you levy for these games thanks again Levy from got ham chess!!
Damn, Levy before his cam upgrade and haircut

when I was a kid, wasn't much informed about the game so played the same if you hang the king you lose.
congrats levy for reaching 100k subs in youtube. next is the 1M youtube subs
And done with 1M
Happy New Year
"and now it's a caro kann"
Every. Single. Time.
7:47 lemme show this to my brother after all the times he’d hanged his king against me.
you should make a series about beating GM's
Will your course work with Apple
I’m glad I know that London trap
