Outcome isn't what makes a game tough Let's say your opponent makes a few brilliant moves that forces you to think, but you still manage to turn the tables That's a hard-fought game even if the win was by huge margin
@@yzfool6639 It's an example of how a completely winning position can still be a tough game. I'm so sorry that you don't know what critical thinking is
exactly,thats what getting better means.If you're a noob you might not be able but i think someone thats 1400 + should be able to win against magnus like 80% of the time at least
@@trallegas6589 But this is the world champion we are talking about. He can swindle a draw (or even a win). Not to mention he could employ some tricks or tactics, and he is a phenomenal endgame player. It's like saying you could win against Magnus with queen odds. If that is too much, maybe just rook or bishop/knight odds. Yes, probably, you can win. But there's a chance you'll mess up somewhere in the opening or middlegame.
@@goodknyght4319 agreed,thats why i said 80% of the time,it also depends greatly on the time format,if it was blitz but i had queen odds im not sure i'd be able to win at all,maybe i'd get a couple wins here and there but if the same thing applied to classical i'd bet my entire life savings that i'd be able to beat magnus up a queen,in that endgame i wouldnt go that far but,again,if it was classical i wouldnt be too worried tbh,specially since i tried playing it against the engine and found it quite easy to win.If i had anything less than rook odds in classical tho thats where i start to think i might not be able to secure even a draw against magnus (im currently 1800 if that info helps in any way)
Regarding the cropping of the clocks, Levy is always REALLY adept at making the overlay look nice. It was a huge draw for me when I first started viewing
The trap at 5:16 is quite nice, you get a bishop for two pawns, but black will have a hard time defending everything because the h file is open for the rook to attack. Also, the queen, the queenside knight, and the other bishop can jump in. It won't give black too much advantage in general. (Of course white can also play this)
Chewing noises pisses me off and I love how Levy considers people like me. Such a great man. Gotta love him. Didn't come to watch him for asmr anyways.
Bro, you're excellent teaching is why I went from 500 (but really lie what 700-800?) to 1175 in the matter of a couple months. Thanks a lot, wish you more success in your life dude. I know you say that it's the person moving the pieces who is responsible for the progression but man, you have taught me a lot and helped me progress so yes, you do get some credit whether you like it or not!
I feel that way in half the super gm games. When levy says "oh his rook is hanging, but it's not actually hanging." Probably some super gm nonsense like that.
I love Ur content, always stick around for the full video, and love implementing your strategies in my games. I'm only rated 600 but have risen from a 300 through watching and studying ur vids between a couple weeks of casual play.
Not gonna lie, it was really irritating hearing Levy call Black's play inaccurate in that French game. Up until Qd8, (Qa5+ was the theoretical continuation) his opponent was playing the top recommended moves in the position, and the eval was 0.0. Black had essentially equalized after Qa5+, and White had no advantage whatsoever. In fact Anish Giri recommended to play cxd4 at that exact moment his opponent did in his chessable course on the French, and to go Nh6 instead of Ne7, but both moves are perfectly playable.

Just got your beginner bootcamp. Was already 850 but it still helps solidifying my game. Hoping to get an opening in a couple of months too with your code. Love your work.
At 16:18 . Levy pushes pawn to trap bishop, was wondering what if instead we play bh6 moving to pin the queen, white plays nf4 to block, but then we go g4 with pawn attacks knight and if knight moves we go g5 and now we have bishop discovery on queen and attacking his knight now on f3 with our pawn winning a clean piece
At 16:58 why didn't you just put your dark bishop on A6, take his knight force the queen to take your bishop than u take his queen??? Or would that have not been an option??? Im still learning
Thank you for bring the word lethargic to my attention. I’ve been feeling that way for a while and I’ve been trying to break out of that feeling of apathetic numbness.
Hey! DolasF here, GG. Thanks for playing, it was an amazing day of chess for me, I got 2 highest rated wins so far, against 1977 and 1772, crossed 1600 and then I got to play You! Yeah, I messed up my line, I suppose those infamous nerves are real XD. But in spite of that, the game was still very instructive, engine told me I should have pushed f6, or f5 much, much earlier, it even says I could claim the advantage on move 13 with sacking a rook on f3. In other words, be braver, no "anticipatory" Kh8s and things like that. It's a common problem for me, I hope next time I come back stronger.
ty for posting levy, it really made my day since I got my second COVID shot and had a pretty bad headache, and ur video made me feel a lot better. Keep up the good work!!! :)

There are 2 levys

Everyone is either levy or not levy
Maybe it’s a Levy from a parallel universe.
There is one Levy but there isn’t one but two but he doesn’t exist so there aren’t two Levy’s but he still does exist
It's so nice that Levy is changing his outfit just for us to know if we already skipped advertisement or not

7:30 rook to e1 checkmate

Nope, 👎 because rook on D6 of white can save and black lose his rook ✌️
