    What a gift! I have tried studying with GM books etc but would get bogged down so quickly. Levy's teaching style has really made learning chess accessible. His Win At Chess Series by analyzing the thought process while playing games against players at ascending levels is BRILLIANT!

    Hi, Levy! I'm coming up on 40, and I've always struggled with chess-I learned the very basics when I was young, but not how to make sense of any of it. As such the best I've ever been able to manage up until now is winning the first game against a new player, only to start losing by game 2 or 3, never to win against them again.
    Stumbled across your videos in YT's recommendations about a week or two ago, and it's really inspired me to try and learn to play the game properly, beyond simple mechanics. Thanks for the awesome resources and engaging commentary!

      You do know it is pretty much _i m p o s s i b l e_ for a human player to reach 4000 elo, right?? As in, literally impossible. People are already maxing out in the 2900-3000 range and you need insanely high level chess to keep those elo levels of everyone involved 'maxed out'. There's no way a human would be able to consistently beat a stronger AI and climb elo ratings that way. I'd also say a 4000+ chess AI is kind of pointless from a practical point of view, as it most likely will result in pretty much nothing but draws.

    Brilliant video, Levy, thank you. I loved the bit at 28 minites and 1 second. The position in the Pirc which is very similar to the Pytel Czech variation. I have started to use that structure recently. I used to played the Caro Khan, but I particularly dislike 1,e4-c6. 2.c4 creating a bind on d5. So I am using the the Pirc to bypass it. I use to average 1800 elo, but I am 63 now and have seen better days. Thanks for this.

  • @pablomolla7387
    @pablomolla7387 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    1- Los planes en el medio juego tienen que salir del opening. 1:30 > ejemplo con the London. Cuando el rival desarrolle el alfil de blancas, tú desarrollas la reina y atacas el peon de b7, y para eso mueves c4. Entonces el plan está relacionado con mover la reina.
    2- Tener planes con desequilibrios. Por ejemplo, si hay enroques en sitios diferentes entre los jugadores se pretende hacer una carrera de peones hacia el rey rival.
    Otro desequilibrio puede ser el de tener dos alfiles frente a dos caballos o a un alfil y a un caballo.
