    I far prefer this format of playing against anyone in the pool. Playing against 1000-1800 was getting repetitive, and this is my favorite series you do as it allows us to see your thought process and reaction in real time rather than in post-commentary

      @xii-e-04-chengmichaelgaret72 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +23

      As a 2100+ rapid rated player, this kind of video is definitely more engaging for me. I usually just skipped to the section of the 1900 and up games of the normal win at chess videos. Hearing your thought process when playing against similar strength players is much more entertaining than just crushing intermediates all the time.

    • @MrBisque
      @MrBisque 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Completely agree, I always cringe at the "guessing and choosing what a lesser player would play" moments. Bolder to try commentary while facing stronger opponents. Seeing Levy in the process of learning so much more valuable for me.

    Gotham if you want to try something different, for a new concept of "How to Win at Chess," you should hide the ELO of your opponent from yourself, and then at the end of the game guess what you think their ELO is based off of how they played, tactics they used, etc. then you can explain your thought process of why you guess xyz ELO, and maybe some tips on how they can best improve. It would be a combination "How to Win at Chess" and "Guess the ELO."

    Wouldn't it be good to give the "Win at chess" episodes a theme like win with d4, win with traps, win with leningrad, win against caro-kann etc. Because I feel like that would make the episodes more rewatchable. One would return to those episodes whenever one would search for something specific. I can't even count how many times I watched episodes about specific openings or traps because I realized that I forgot some things about them and needed a reminder.

    I love it! This is my favorite series on your channel because you do such a good job explaining your thought process. It has really helped me with my own process of coming up with ideas and calculating them

    Levy almost hanging his queen is the most relatable part of the episode

    it was really interesting to see you play people at your level, I think it'd be great if you were to do a mix of both videos like this and videos where you play against people at different levels, since with videos like this one, you show us more complex games and positions that you might not see at lower levels, but by also keeping lower level games you can also showcase situations that you'd maybe only see at certain elo rangers, as an example if you were playing someone at 800 elo where there are situations that you'd only find at that level range due to people still (usually) being beginners

    I don't comment often, but just wanted to say (in case you read this) thanks for the open beta on your chess bot and specifically access to some primo content. The e4 course in amazing, I went through all of the Vienna (as I play it), and some of the French and Sicilian to see new concepts and love how you present the ideas and how the little drills help nail down the accuracy to your lines. Still haven't seen a lot of it despite going hard with the chess study, and having access to the drills/bot anytime with the course would be great next time a good special is on :)
    Cool to see you play the French Def. Gambit in this video too after studying it!

    That first game playing defense was amazing. I face players that love to do these sort of sacrifices all the time. Sometimes it works. Good job.

    Best video of this series that I've seen! Watching you play 1000-1500s is maybe more helpful to my game, but I really enjoyed watching your thought process in difficult matches. It made it more entertaining. I could watch matches like this for hours. The way you can play competitively and explain simultaneously is remarkable.

  • @nickhewett8815
    @nickhewett8815 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Yes! Love the jeopardy, and the humility with which you happily show your errors. Regardless, none of your videos are boring. Perhaps they are to you, but I, for one, will never get tired of your wisdom and NY banter.

    44:00 I put this entire sequence of moves into an engine and just watched in awe as you made the top engine moves back to back, bringing it back into an equal position and eventually winning! I truly believe you have what it takes to be a GM if you put in the work.

    I'm not gonna lie, this episode was top quality in every aspect. I loved every second of it. Very instructive, very entertaining, very everything.
    It is such a treat to be able to hear Levy's thinking in position I have trouble with : Caro Kann, Horwitz attack ( sorry I don't play the scandinavian ).
    Awesome opponents, awesome games ... I bow down to the greatness of this video.

    I really enjoyed this format. One of the benefits is that you don't have to try and "think like a 1000", but you just play the ideas you have , which you explain well. To improve, it helps to understand what higher level thinking is, and then to try and emulate it. Also, and maybe in this format something that could have a bit more time dedicated to it, is the post-game analysis phase, showing how to get the most out of it. And well done, particularly that first game. I thought you kept your cool in a very difficult looking position and to see how you found ways to fight back was very eye-opening.

    I think you should continue to do lower Elo sub episodes and you can do higher Elo games as well if you're bored. I have watched every episode in this series since December this year and just crossed 1100 Elo and these are great learning tools for your viewers and I think hitting all elos of skill in this series benefits your broad range of subscribers.
    Keep them coming I am a big fan!
