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
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
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)
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.
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.
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)
Levy, I stay anonymous because fame was not for me, but I just want to say respect to you brother, your content is top tier, and your work ethic is admirable. Keep it up brother, but make sure to always put yourself first.
Levy I'm currently 1280, I would consider myself a very smart guy and I'm 24 years old. Is there any way you could continue the how to win at chess videos? There's plenty of people at my level that find it difficult to continue climbing the ladder and would greatly appreciate it. I know you're a very busy guy so this is really just a pitch of an idea but I do find these really enjoyable to watch👍🏼
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.
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!
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.
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.
Faces an opponent rated high enough to make him scared...immediately goes for a dodgy engine line preparation...says it's cheating if his opponent uses the database - well, at least he's not memorizing engine moves to save his ass ;) Imo it was way dirtier using engine prep vs 2200 player...didn't know an IM needed a crutch so soon.

Both are true
Levy after winning a game up a queen and knight: “that was a tough game”
Tough, but not for Levi.
Haha. He just smashed the guy out from the opening, had him begging for mercy the whole time "oh damn that was a tough one."

And the hoodie too, though bright yellow draws attention, not conceals you.
Okie
Lmao that's a fact
Dude the old background when he's talking about the sponsor
There are 2 levys
Oh so that's how he's been pumping out the contents
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

Me: "not only the outfit has changed man"

The gradual alterations and additions to Levy’s room is just quality
you’ve been so helpful bro. back in november i was a 700 and now i’m almost 1300 💪 couldn’t have done it without your vids

The old room was a green screen projection. He just moved the screen off to the side
When will there be a new Guess the Elo episode?
He filmed 2 episodes in his last stream on twitch
@@nooaylikorpi2948 great
He filmed one live recently so he’s probably editing it at the moment
Take a guess
Please add the Kasparov vs Shak game from Croatia GCT

"I'm wearing something different." Bro, you're wearing a whole new house.
When I see "win at chess" I like the video first, and then watch it.

Thanks from Poland that you are existing Levy, wholesome content.
44:05 if Qd5+ and then you take the pawn on a2, ra1 and white has the advantage!
“Blacks clock is cloming.” I would take it. It could’ve been way worse.
"I would take it"
I bet you would
For those who don't get it- remove the 'l' from clock and cloming. nice joke
Been learning a lot from you Levy! 🤝🏻🙌🏻
An 80-minute Gotham video... what a time to be alive :)
Hope you’re feeling alright, Levy. Stay strong with the back injury.
We are all waiting for Gotham city on the green screen
damn the first opponent just got blown off the board immediately 😂
Win at chess! Yay 😁

No one panics at modern opening with black but go classical dragon or accelerated dragon with black, most people blunder something. Huh, who knew.
0:25 "We edit this part in by the way so... I'm wearing something different."
Yeah the whole background is also different.
That green sheet thing hanging from the ceiling is giving me anxiety
That last game killed about half my brain cells
Levy:Use the Link in the description
*The Description:*
Hey Lev, mind playing a French defense here or there in a “win at chess?” All the best.
professional cropping 10/10 video
i like how he didn't edit the part where we can block ad using the right country
Which countries though, there's so many of them.
I don’t know Gotham I run every red light I can see you and it works for me lol
