Got my book early via Barnes and Noble preorder. The language of the book is so accessible. First chapter has already taught me a couple new things. Already highly recommended to accelerate your chess knowledge.
Got your book!!! My preorder got delivered and it's really awesome, totally recommend it! Using it to teach my mum how to play :D Edit: I'm in the UK, I believe our preorder books got shipped here on the 21st, but mine got stuck in Tonbridge
I like how there's a method to this madness with chess fundamentals and complex ideas, but at it's core, there are two unfeeling, unthinking robots doing whatever training has told it to
As an Australian, I hope to see your book teach me more about the Australian varient of chess. Where black goes first and we simp for the queen instead of the king.
I've watched so many Gotham Vids in the last days... I saw a soccer game the other day and thought the striker should capture the defender to put pressure on the goaly. Moral of the story: Gotham>Soccer Btw love how he is the only American I know, and I've lived and worked in the states, that properly appreciates soccer, even compares it to chess regularly.
Wholesome comments are deserving 👏 I'll definitely not play that well, but you explained this game primo. I'm one of those people that never played a game of chess before Gotham, but you hit on some ah-ha functions. The direction your pieces are attacking, predicting what files will benefit the rooks, all around stellar stuff. This was a chefs kiss education imho.
Got the pre-ordered book today, Oct 24! Thanks. One of the neat things is not needing to set up a board or an analysis board and play the moves out between diagrams of the board and comments where several moves take place between the diagrams. This new way of presenting the moves is refreshing.
Hey Gotham, really enjoy your channel and especially recently the focus on learning points like you do in this one with five things to learn. Imo it's the perfect blend of your sense of humor as well as chess knowledge rather than other (enjoyable) videos you make that are more on the side of humor
@6:29 the answer is, you only played a genius level move IF AND ONLY IF you played the correct follow up. No single move is good in chess, its about the artwork after it
I am Australian and I play chess. I was really bad (700 blitz) but after watching your videos I am worse (550 blitz). That said, I now understand better why I lose and also I often lose to experiment with SACRIFICING THE ROOK!!!!
The year is 2027 Gotham never printed another edition of his book to increase the scarcity. The price of the first editions are approaching $2000 the secondary market managed by speculators and fans wait for a new Gotham video to inflate the price of their investment.
Hi Levy from one of your U.K. subscribers. A great big thanks for the link to order your book from Waterstones. I love the layout, and the way you “write like you talk”. I agree it will become a classic text to learn and improve at Chess. I will be using it as a refresher to get me back in to Chess, and hopefully play competitively online for the first time! All my competitive chess was over the board at University in the 1980’s(yes I am one of you older listeners!lol). Awesome book! 👍 Great review of that Torch game too!
8:22 take a moment to appreciate this beauty. at first i thought "but wait, queen can a8, trade rooks, kc8-qc8 and it's equal" BUT - ka7 is discovered attack on the queen, so you can't trade rooks, AND Queen HAS NO OTHER MOVES oooooooooh what an abomination, engine brains, my man
I don't care about what the comment section says. Good or bad opinions. Levy has improved his content so much, in a great manner for my liking. The length of the video and the UFC-type commentary makes it more alive, like a chess game should be. Every chess game it's a tense battleground where two strategies collide and merge into each other. Great work Levy. Keep going, in a way you don't burn out, and we will keep watching you!
Can we make sure the book doesn’t do too well? I don’t want Levy anywhere near Europe

Yeah, but is not easy to judge when the sacrifice can take place.
i assume those games are shown more then the games where they both trade everything off and ends in a draw

Levy 16:03 is already prevented, there’s a fork, I may not be seeing something but knight jumps and forks the king and rook. ( Knight D5 )

Australian chess player right here. Love your work, your videos are a part of my everyday schedule.
6:30 depends on wether the line you play after that works.

Torch has never beaten me.
Levy never fails to make a sports reference in a chess video
6:30 the final question humanity will answer
Today's stare was immaculate. The eye contact and the intensity. 10/10.
I am glad more instructional and in-depth game analysis are still here, thanks Levy.
As an Australian who plays chess there a LOT of people who play chess 👍. Also definitely preordered your book ❤
Every now and then I sacrifice my queen. But it's always becomes Botez Gambit 😂
That play with the white square Bishop by torch was masterclass 👌

Loved the part where you showed the evidence that Torch played with 200% accuracy. Shameless clickbaiting. Do better.
Nuh uh, its a joke obvoiusly😂 just like my speling
You must be a bozo because it makes no sense to be 200% accurate. 100 is the cap.
I just received my book in the UK! super excited, thank you Levy
I think TORCH bought levy's book thats why it plays with 2000% accuracy
1:03 Levy is missing the towers so much he rebuilt them in his apartment. Truly inspirational.
Torch never fails to burn my internal organs 😊
Titles are starting to level up, props to Levy.

I've watched your video from 500 elo and now I'm 200 elo less and close to suicide but I won't stop coming back till I win you in a game
6:30 I remember Magnus saying that the quality of a decision is not based on the outcome, but on the thought process, something like that
“for example rook b4 😃” blunders fork
11:06 I must be missing something. But wasn't this free rook that white offered and was not taken by black (by either their own rook or bishop)?
It is a free rook, Gotham’s just trading the rooks off the board to show that the endgame will be drawn if white trades off pieces
Oh wait... this move was actually not played by bot, but just used to demonstrate trade one move later (while ignoring that it was a free rook).
