What a moron. I learned nothing from this video.
(I also disliked the video according to Twitch chat's instuctions)
instructions unclear, end up clicking the bell
Why comment this lol
He commented it so that he gets pinned 🤣
Just some advice for you, if you feel you can not say something positive, please just scroll to other videos. You’re not forced to watch the video or even attending this class.
@@briankanda8500 noo,😂 this whole thing is a joke
Levy In a 3 min blitz game: In Mexico, there are crickets in HUGE populations
Me in a 10 min rapid game: OMG I gotta hurry I only have 10 minutes OH NOOOOOOO
Same lol
Imagine if you were playing a 50
The clock moves so much slower for streamers. How do I get this feature?
@@irjake you gotta be a 1600 and hang a piece on move six, you turn into a 161660 and then the option is unlocked :)
@@bullymaguire632 or you can move your rook to B1
"aaaaand he hangs his queen, ok well there is the 400 kicking in" lol
In the words of Ben Finegold, "[singing] he earned his raaating"
Of course he hung his own queen a couple games later!
The honesty is appreciated. Blunder a queen, move on and continue teaching. That’s how chess needs to be taught
AMEN!
Not like some cocky Japanese GM who is extreme salty when he lose
@@CuongNguyen-jh9zk LOL. Yeah, I get that. That's why I like to watch Levy. He's not some Super GM and that makes him relatable in my opinion.
@@CuongNguyen-jh9zk gee, I wonder who that is...
@@lancesentry7936 you say that as if IM isn't an incredibly huge achievement. Loads of people studying chess for their life may not even reach IM.
Levy: "This is the strongest 400 I've ever played with"
Hungs queen on 3:42 "Well there's the 400 kicking in"
Hungs lol its hangs
Still played very solid for 400
@@limitedtozero5864 past tense
@@Cocxy69 "hungs" isn't a word. "hung" is a word so he could say "hung/hangs queen at 3:42" as in "He hung/hangs his queen at 3:42". Saying "he hungs his queen at 3:42" doesn't make sense because "hungs" isn't the past tense of "hung" since "hung" is already past tense...
@@swagyolo4504 It’s prehistoric-tense
To the guy who asked in the chat: the openings have names based on where it was first played, the person who made it popular, the city, etc. There is no consensus. The Indian part comes from the country where it was played (notice that the pawns move just 1 square, that's because they were used to older version of chess in India, where there was no quick start for the pawns and they had to move one square at a time), and the Kings part comes from the fact that he moves his pieces out and on the kings side, later castleling there. At least this is what I was once told.
Edit: I just saw that somebody wrote the same answer in the chat, so I just wasted my time. I am going to leave the comment to remind my future self of his past mistakes.
lmao, I actually did not see the answer in the chat though, so I appreciate this comment, didn't know this bit of info!
I was just wondering this, and I hate reading chat in most twitch clips cuz it's usually scrolling too fast so I just never look. Remember, giving redundant information in multiple places isn't useless, it increases coverage. Thank you!
Wait...levy just complimented our being mean skills. This is so wholesome.
Niiiice
Chat said dislike the video so i disliked the video
@@maximelacoult5572 who cares tho
@@lolnub265 you cared enough to reply tho
@@maximelacoult5572 2 years later, youtube removed the dislike button. You achieved nothing.
These are the most hardcore
It's because Levy's ideas work only against him, but they don't work on other lower rated players😂
@@aryashetty3924 they are also stream sniping
@@JosherIsFun um, levi said nothing also there's a delay
@@FallenFromGlory This is Chess, even if there's delay they can still snipe, unless is a whole minute delay, but judging from the chat I think delay is only a few seconds
Also Levy constantly check from stream snipe by explaining a wrong move so he really don't have to worried
No , just worst IM ever.
@23:17 It's called King's Indian because it was famously played by Indian players in international chess, coming from a background in Indian version of chess during British rule. In Indian version of chess the two square pawn move as well as king-rook swap castling was not allowed (in Indian castling, King could move like a knight once in the game, and that was used to manually bring the king to the other side of the rook), so fianchettoing the King's bishop was the way you controlled the centre. You can observe the same in Sultan Khan's games as he belonged to the British Colonial era in India. Learning the two step pawn move would be, I suppose, more inconvenient to such players, because it would demand a change in their well practiced understanding of openings, so they went for the move that would be allowed in both their native variant of chess as well as international chess.
10:48
I was waiting for
" oh...no...my queen" moment lol but it was an actual blunder hahahah
"DAAAHHH"
He’s not Eric Rosen
He is human after all. ^_^
I just started playing after maybe 20 years of not playing, and soon realized my lack of opening repertoire and fundamental opening blunders were costing me big time. So I added this King's Indian, paid more attention to using pins and forks, and feel like I'm really making some serious progress now. Thanks for the great content!
32:50 "Is it cheating to always avoid the best move that an engine gives you?"
"What an ethical conversation"
bro had me dying while bringing up a solid question
Idk why, but suddenly my opponents started playing King's Indian.
João Pedro Santos me too. I started playing it also.
Oh man I love these climbing series, cant wait to watch this one. Keep up the amazing content.
I absolutely love this premise for a series! Would love to see more where you just stick to the same opening, really learn a lot :)
“Okay well THERRREEES the 400 kicking in”
wtf these are the strongest 700 players ever 🤣 and then they immediately blunder under time pressure... exactly like me
2:05 when you see a tall girl
Bruh 🤣🤣
😂😂
LMAO
Dudeee
Bruhhhh
I don't even know if you'll ever see this Gotham, but this is probably my favorite video of yours. I'm now 900 ELO Rapid thanks to your kings indian series. It's also really nice how this video seems more calmer than newer ones. Thank you for making chess entertaining for the masses.
10:40 You hallucinating that your Bishop was protected was proper funny. It’s great to
see that masters blunder too 👍
I haven’t seen a blunder that big since Bobby Fischer’s infamous Bxh2 against Spassky in 1972
The Gorn Can’t day I remember that one. Lol Bobby was amazing so that must have been a very rare blunder 👍
I do the hallucinating that something is defending when it isn’t 😂
"Well the last question you asked me is do I eat bugs..." idk why but that had me crying
I just want to say for any youtube viewer who's thinking of getting the openings course, I got the openings course for 1. e4 and I could not be happier with the results. Just knowing how to respond to e5 and c5 has ramped up my win/loss ratio when playing black and white. Levy focuses so much on overarching ideas in the opening that you can't help but get better at facing any opening. Also, Vienna game is overpowered.
6:39 "Whaaat...?" -made me realise you remind me both of Neil Patrick Harris and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
I love these series because I'm like 1100 and I can see what openings work well in this lower level rating area. Keep up the great work man(and sweatshirts too)
So pumped.
I play chess since I was 6 yo. My father taught me and we still play. He was a former Moroccan champion.
I gave up for quite some years but got back at it for the last year and your videos helped me a lot improve my game. Keep it up
I LOVE this climbing series. I wish you continued all the way to 2500 or to whatever elo you can achieve with the defense
Gotham: "What is the difference between a red car and a blue car?"
Me: "A little over 300 nm..."
I don't get it is it something to do with the difference in wavelengths?
@@AnimeISAMISTAKE kinda yes red has 620-640
Blue has around 380-500
@@varungodse3603 I see, thank you!
WHOA wth, is this a sign from god? I was studying my chemistry and I just started with frequences and wavelengths, took a break, opened this video, and saw this. Just wow
@@road2avg that's the Baader-meinhof effect brother. Now that I've told you about it, you'll start seeing that phrase everywhere
3 months later and I'm still learning from this video. I did not realize how good the first guy moves were the first time I watched this.
Mah boi levy! I've watched and rewatched all your e4 climbs. Probably my #1 favourite real-life scenario chess videos. Can't wait for more of these for black.
Here before that kid says you inspired him to stop playing🌚
Glad to see the return of the climb series! And nice to see the u1000s putting up a fight. Keep up the good work! ❤
I just won a game by resignation with a 98% rating thanks to this video. Amazing. And I'm 500, so a big deal for me. Thank you, Gotham.
Don’t say that, because it is admitting you are cheater or lier, not even levy has had 98 percent according to him so….
@@ivanfuentes858what 💀
@ivanfuentes858 I assume he meant accuracy.
Which is a game by game thing. If the opponent plays badly its easy to get that. I literally just looked at a game where i played at 96% and I'm 1000.
@@TheBlueAkumu yo you wanna play a game?
@@ivanfuentes858ridiculous
Wow, as a relatively new player, I find this type of video extremely helpful. I especially like the way you instruct while at the same time encouraging your subs. You have a way of criticizing that sounds like encouragement instead of criticism.
I love playing the King's Indian (at 800), super looking forward to the rest of this series
I’ve been really looking forward to this, I love your content Levy!
I went from 600-850 I’ve played for 5 months while bored at work. Your content is awesome man, started to learn openings in the last two weeks. Cheers. I play the London and kings Indian and just try not to blunder and develop lol
Lmao same
Yes! Been waiting for a black pieces rating climb for some time!
What a great series!! Keep going all the way to 3000

Hi Twitch!
This comment was 6 months in the making, but still appreciated!
Thankyou!
This is BY FAR the best way to best way to teach chess - many many thanks Levy!
Gotham just waltzes in and takes over chess commentary on TH-cam... I love it!
I loved this video. It shows the same opening against a lot of different openings & variations successfully.
These rating climbs help alot. Your e4 climb changed my rating from 1000 to 1500 in just a few weeks. Thanks for the content.
Thank you so much Levy. I've been waiting for this. Immediately jump on it after work
Thank you for everything you do. I love your channel, keep up the great work!
I thoroughly enjoyed levy losing his queen to a 700
Haha ikr 800 gang rise up.
Also jokes aside Chess has so many levels it's depressing. Love the game and i had a 57 move 93 accuracy game earlier with no mistakes or blunders, and to the former 300 me that would seem amazing, but when IMs talk about 1200s like children and i see 1200s as gods XD
@@randomyoutubeaccount6906 Chess really shows how much more the human mind is capable of. When you're a beginner or intermediate player, you look at professional games and have no idea how they manage to think about so many things in such short amounts of time. But then you look at their IQ numbers, and they're... normal. They don't actually think super fast, they think *_efficiently_* . It's really interesting to think about
@@lred1383 I'm an 1100 now :)
@@randomyoutubeaccount6906 And you feel the changes, right? A long way to go, obviously, but you see things that you would never even think about before. I'm rated around 1100 myself, but feel like i have a couple hundred more if i stop playing late at night when i'm tired. Most people at this rating fall for super simple baits, it's not even funny anymore. Like, i would be winning the game like a god, and then just blunder a piece and sit there, looking like that Mike Wazowski face swap meme
@@lred1383 I think they have visualizing abilities most of us lack to any significant degree.
So I just watched this, and pushed e5 against London....it was glorious and an easy win. Have subbed your Twitch as a thankyou - I truly believe you're one of the best TH-camrs I've seen. Keep it up dude x
Yay, it's here! Now I will finally learn how to play KID, especially against 1.e4. Thanks Levy, your channel rocks. 🔥
Y'all don't understand how amazingly helpful these videos are to a complete noob like me. He's showing all the possible ways opponents can play and how to react and with his comments and notes it REALLY helps
I got twitch just to watch more of your content because of how informative your TH-cam videos have been so thank you
realized that converting a position with the black pieces even playing lower rated players is much harder than with the white pieces
A fan from Thailand here.
Your vdos helped me climbed from 800+ to 1100. It's educational and very easy to understand.
YASS I absolutely love these rating climb videos
10:25 Hallucinating. I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that. I hung a Queen on a8 the other day because for some reason I thought my a-pawn wasn't there and the queen was supported by the rook.
"Man, this is the strongest 400 I've ever played!"
[7 seconds later]
"Aaannnd...he hung his Queen. Well, there's the '400' kicking in."
LMAO
If anyone was curious the best thing to play against the kings indian (pirc) that wasnt shown is to grab full center then push your f pawn up, this is called the austrian attack with idea to play bishop to e3 then push your e pawn attacking the knight pretty visciously
I am looking forward to this because I play kings Indian/pirc defense but there’s not many videos explaining it in depth. Hopefully i can learn alot
What is the difference between kings Indian and Pirc?
@@weiterdenken-marburgwdmr2729pawn d6
Very interested in your e6 b6 opening. Love learning about things I haven't seen very often
Thanks Levy. Been waiting for this a long time.
That E6, B6 game was awesome! Impressive comeback!
Keep the series going!
You are a legend!
i love this video. so much good stuff in it. thanks for posting
Ur vids help a lot, I know you're not cheating because chess analyzers rarely think of tactics. your gift is knowing where to put your pieces at various stages. you blunder less than a normal person that's for sure. but your vids have helped me a lot thanks
Could you do a climb or a couple episodes with the caro kann? Love the videos!
Hahahahah! I completely lost on "g4 is the way to go. Gf is completely winnig, he just have to solidify his position with g4" 36:50
Yes Levy is the best this is what I needed
I premoved my first checkmate with less than 10 seconds to play thanks to you, Levy! Keep up the amazing content on this channel
Hyped for this series
Your climbing series helped me with my 24hr shift. Thank you!
I Just learned the kings indian opening so this series will be awesome for me !
Could you do a d4 rating climb with white?
That'll be the e4 climb except twice as boring and take twice as long to finish.
yeah he's doing it
@@hammurabitheawesome674 maybe, but d4 can be exciting, I've been messing around with trompowsky and catalan stuff and it can be a lot of fun and tactics
So excited for this series!
Went on winning 12 of the last 15 games using this openings and the tips. That's crazy!! Thanks a lot
this reminds me of those martial arts videos where the sensei effectively pauses time to do some bs ninjutsu and then explain after why it will work every time
6:45 think he was going for the jobava london system, but didn't see the pawn blocking the bishop on D6
do more of these rating climb videos. They are very interesting
Rating climbs with certain openings ftw. Really helpful watching multiple games with specific openings.
Thank you bro for this. Finally king's indian.
For a novice such as myself... I have truly learned a great deal from all of your videos... thanks for sharing your knowledge via youtube....I am an average player who is spending a great deal of time playing to occupy my time at night.
Two thumbs up, great content, good presentation. A very well thought out approach, Kings Indian. Tried tested and verified, not just by me but also, by real chess professional players in the know, like our host.. This is one, recommend for the black side, friends and family. Peace ✌, Love and soul. Yours truly, the people's choice, OG Reggie B.
This is how I felt playing the Kings Indian. Every game ended up in these huge complicated tension filled mid games and I couldn’t convert constantly bc I’m trash lol
Been waiting for this!
Super instructive and entertaining
Hi Twitch!
Kings Indian defense has been a godsend imo. I tried caro kann and sicilian but i'm too much of a scrub at developing correctly when they're familiar with the position.
Kings Indian Defence is my favorite defence so thanks for making this video.
You look like you're enjoying yourself. Kudos, will sub twitch when I make time. Look forward to the next one🤙
How do you win a Game when you've lost your queen? ... You develop Your Pieces! 36:00. Such a riot! I Love this Series your doing. I'm watching your Ch. on Y.T. every night now. Greatly enjoying it and sending much Thanks from Oregon! Supper Outstanding stuff and as a Host, appreciate your Presentations. Thank You!! ... Mike.
I love your Channel sir..
very helpful and I'm improving 👍
So helpful....thanks for doing this.
We need more of this! More kings indian!
50:35
Well your past question to me was do I eat bugs
😂😂😂 twitch chat has been 12 years old for a decade
I laughed so hard when he said that.
Levy is a funny bastard. I think he has a personable intelligence that makes him not only brilliant at chess, but would also make him an interesting guy to sit next to on a flight.
Yea he’d make a good cell mate
i enjoy watching and learning from you, thank you sir
Thank you so much levy I’ve been doing this opening at 1200 and I still have more to learn. If they play e4 I play a pirc into a kings Indian
12:35 nooooo he couldve gotten the a6 pawn and protected the bishop since the rook stopped defending it
IVE SPOTTED A GENIUS MOVE AT 2:42 . If you move the knight to g4, hitting the Queen with the bishop and looking to fork at f2, the only reasonable move to protect f2 and moving the Queen out of danger at the same time is Qd2. Then you follow up with bishop to h6, wich is then PROTECTED by the knight and pins the Queen to the King. Insanely proud that i found this as a 1200 rated player and Levy did not lol :)
Damn bro, that is amazingly good.✌️✌️
White can break out of the pin after Bh6 with f4
@@Ch33s3r Then probably something like Qf6, supporting Bxf4 on the next move with royal skewer. So he still can't take the loose Knight but has to unpin himself.
Thx for uploading this , it was very usefull
That 400 player was amazing! 👏👏
Went up 200 points by just applying the thought process and watching one move blunders. Thank you🤝.
