Little did we know that Daniel is neither loosey or goosey yet and once he is his true power will shine through and he will crush everyone in pogchamps. Then he will defeat Magnus while eating a sandwich.
Nobody in this field, not even the e-sports guys, has the same level of experience in high pressure high value situations as Daniel Negreanu. It's just a matter of him absorbing good lessons, because mindset is *never* going to be why he loses.
@@Subpar1224 i think they were joking because how “esipenko executed his supermarket run” which maybe i’m just terrible at chess but i don’t think supermarket run is a chess opening/trap ahah
Ok so espinenko was asked something like: "what are you going to do on your rest day" and he said "ill go to the supermarket probably". Paraprashing but thats the spirit
For those who don’t know, Daniel is currently playing a super high stakes heads up (one vs one) poker battle against a player who is widely regarded to be the best heads up player in the world. They play 3 times a week and they have swings of hundreds of thousands of dollars per day. And he finds time to play chess too. What a legend.
He plays 2 hrs a night 3 nights a week on 2 tables which is nothing for online poker players. Most play 6+ tables at a time everyday grinding to pay bills. He is also a millionaire with alot of free time. Really not that impressive
@@Sir_Blu Yes doug was classed as one of the toughest heads up players online playing anyone who came up for a period of time Even managing to beat Sauce123 who is a legend online along the way Unfortunately Dnegs is not on the lvl of online players. He is a live player who plays tournaments which is alot of luck and not all skill
@@Sir_Blu They are on another level live. Even this heads up started with one live session, and Polk got crushed. But in this "online heads-up", polk is by far the favorite.
I think i need to start learning more from lower level instructions like these instead of only grandmaster games. I always thought the scandinavian was pointless but i'll try it now!
wow Levy, thank u so much. U teach people by heart. I also get something precious from this vids alone. Will need to watch this 2 or 3 times more. Thank you
Daniel trying to juggle a very tough heads up poker challenge and chess is nuts. Even if he studies chess only on his off days, it's crazy. But he seems to be managing it pretty well so far.
I was thinking yesterday that my opening for black are pretty bad and don't know much of them and I saw this as I just woke up, I was never so happy :') Thanks Levy!
Hey Levy. Quick question - when you say you win the bishop after knight moves to b3 in the Englund gambit around 37:08, how do you proceed to defend your rook from the same knight advancing? I'm always coming unstuck at this point. Engine suggests queen to e4 after black knight goes to d5 but isn't that just losing then when knight goes to c7? Thanks.
levy for an other time, very educational video. i would like to see you return in the rating climbs with specific openings. in my opinion it is the most direct way to learn more about the openings. thank you
Just found your youtube and wanted to play chess for the first time, so I look up the word aggressive and you have Daniel friggen Negreanu videos? Awesome. I'm surprised watching your celebrity videos you never seem very star struck.
I would love if you could go into a bit more detail on the winning positions. Sometimes you get into a spot where you show a really good first 5-7 moves, but I'm missing out on the "what if they counter it here, and what if they don't" type follow up.
He makes a good point about wanting to win fast when playinga gambit. It's not quite correct but the more general idea behind it is: you need to capitalize on the advantage of development relatively early because otherwise it get increasingly more likely as each move passes that your opponent stabilizes the position and is just material up. Now, capitalizing on the advantage might just mean getting the pawn back in a slightly advantageous position. It might mean getting a strong attack that leads to mate or winning a lot of material, but it's not as common. It might mean getting a really dominating position that makes it incredibly difficult for your opponent to play, resulting in them blundering sooner or later. But you need to get something, otherwise your opponent will just eventually win with the pawn advantage.
Man I gotta say thank you, I just started playing chess and was stuck at 600-700 on chess. Com, before I was playing the ruy López and positional and boring games that were boring I always made big blunders to break up the position, now that I learn some of the gambits you show which lead to more open positions and I instatly climb to 900 ratings. Ill be tuned for more stuff but this videos where you show teach begginers are so didacts. Greetings from Spain
I've played this trap before and it's much more likely that white takes the knight and loses the queen, but I imagine something like Qd4 and then after Ke1 (if Ke2 the queen is lost because of Bg4+) and then maybe take on b2 and win a rook? Honestly you probably won't come across this much tho
This literally improved my game with black pieces although none of my opponents fell for the trap...This is lit🔥... Could you please explain what to do if they defend their pawn with another pawn and not the knight or bishop
this video became good once you began playing out the game... I have a feeling you were pressured into this - but Gotham, yhis is what you do! you teach! and sir, thank you so much for that
I think there is a situation where you underpromote to a bishop to avoid stalemate. I think it was even occuring in a famous game which resulted in mate for the underpromoting side. So its not just to shame your opponent.
Englund gambit is great and all, but white can give up the bishop and play nd5 right? Theres no way to prevent losing c7 and rook on a8. If i'm mistaken please let me know.
First of all, fantastic video! I learned a ton about gambits and I'm inspired to try several of them myself. But I'm a bit confused: Levy criticized several PogChamps players for going 1. d4 d5 2. Bf4 Nc3 as it blocked ...c4 in the future. Is there a particular reason to teach it to Negreanu in this case?
I'm rated about the same give or take and Mr Negranu is entirely correct people rarely castle queenside at that level. It's funny that all the instruction I see says e4 e5. I stopped playing it early on because so many people play it. I started winning when I started using hypermodern openings and I haven't stopped since.
This is like when you have a class with two of your favourite teachers
When does that ever happen?

"I play chess the same way I play poker, I don't allow my opponent to see my pieces"
says Daniel as he places a cloth over his chess pieces
LOL
Real life fog of war.
he'd be good at fog of war.
imagine starting the game with three pairs, 8-of-a-kind and two good kickers.
all in the same suit.
@@ahbraveconscript997 Not the best analogy. It's more like both players have AK suited but white has the button.
I would love to see the reverse of this where he teaches you poker

Portuguese gambit is when you steal gold from america but loose that to england
Dude, he's gonna win pogchamps 3 hands down

Can I get a show of hands of those who knew Negreanu before Levy
When you’re at the chessboard you can’t be all loosey-goosey; eating a sandwich.
You need to understand that everything you do at the chess board conveys information
The collab you never expected to see and never knew you needed to see. This is gonna be interesting!

Good thing the Englund is the most loosey goosey opening out there. Now we just need a sandwich.
it makes sense that levy showed a bunch of gambits to a poker legend
Now that's why I pay for my Internet
This is quite possibly the best collab I’ve ever seen, thought it was a mistake when I saw it. Pretty darn good
Behold the elusive early Levy who is said to leave likes wherever he goes!
Thanks for the free lesson! This really helps me understanding openings
Love watching these videos because I learn a ton. A lot of time I've heard these things but for some reason it sticks a lot better when you say it!
I think i need to start learning more from lower level instructions like these instead of only grandmaster games. I always thought the scandinavian was pointless but i'll try it now!
It isnt that good of an opening but viable
For my level it's a good opening
@@lougaru2445 seems unlikely lol. it becomes more viable at grandmaster level but pretty lousy earlier
I am so happy you put the lasker trap into this. I learned Albin countergambit to knock off a ton of d4 shenanigans in blitz.
great video levy, enjoying your daily uploads
Been a huge fan of Daniel in Poker for years and a big fan of Gotham for a while now too. Great to see you both working together!
High stakes chess is something i didnt think id hear today
What a collab
I really liked how Gotham explained the tips here. I learned a lot
wow Levy, thank u so much. U teach people by heart.
I also get something precious from this vids alone.
Will need to watch this 2 or 3 times more. Thank you
Thank you! I love Englund Gambit. :)
Really cool lesson. Lookin forward to see Daniel compete for the first place
I'm excited to see Dnegs attacking chess in the tournament
As a Canadian I LOVE that you worked with Daniel! I followed his poker career and he was great.
Levy: wait for your opponent to castle and find a way to attack
Meanwhile Eric Rosen: O-O-O# goes brrr
One of the best things to come out of PogChamps is these quick and dirty lessons with people at my level. Stuff I can actually use.
thanks a lot for your videos
Hey Levy your Vienna video has gained me a lot of rating points recently. Thanks for the great content man.
Levy is my favourite chess youtuber. He might not be the best player out of the bunch, but man he has the best personality.
“Personality?” You’re clearly just a fetishist for daniel radcliff lookalikes smh
Amazing video mate!
HOLY MOLY I *NEED* THIS CROSSOVER!
Very excited for this coming pogchamps event
thank you Gotham!
is there a second part?

I love poker and chess. I'm not a pro or grandmaster, but just the mental complexity of both games are so thrilling to me..
I’d like a video on ways to learn all the squares and about chess notation if u are taking suggestions
GothamChess can make someone who doesn’t know what chess is into a chess genius in 1 hour
It’s a lot easier when that person is already a genius lol
Bruh
I actually don't like the way he teaches, but i understand is for quick learning for pogchamps and not long term learning.
This was enjoyable and not just a lesson. I love Negreanu. Favorite poker player
Mine too
I love this channel ❤️

sorry for maybe a dumb question, but where is the rest of the video? Thx
You see, everything you do at the Chess board conveys information.

I am wondering how do you play albin trap on a chess board when you don't have a third black knight ?

I might start playing the Queen's Gambit again, its so fun

Greetings from Spain
I thought this was a poker video by the title without even seeing who uploaded it
52:25 can someone tell me ehat is the best move now? How do we evacuate the knight from there? Levy stopped at this move, so i am kinda unsure
I've played this trap before and it's much more likely that white takes the knight and loses the queen, but I imagine something like Qd4 and then after Ke1 (if Ke2 the queen is lost because of Bg4+) and then maybe take on b2 and win a rook? Honestly you probably won't come across this much tho

and sir, thank you so much for that
is there a part 2? or did daniel have to go?
I’m subscribed to PokerStars too and was thoroughly confused as to who’s video this was 😂
I would pay to see Daniel playing a grudge match chess game with Howard Lederer
In the opening 1. e4-d5 white plays 2. e5 ... how evaluate this position? Thank's
Take that e4 pawn and defend with Nf6
I guess He’ll be very great at table chess because no one could understant wicht move He dont want I guess againts tal Its could be great
hey gotham, can u suggest me a best platform for analyze and learn openings
Lichess is solid
15:00 Negreanu with a Botez gambit.
You forgot to teach him the Jerome Gambit. It perfectly fits his agressive playing style.
37:10 Nd5 countertrap!!
OMG Daniel Negreanu!!! :D
When u run through positions in your head, how do you view the chessboard? 2D or 3D?
Just notation
I think there is a situation where you underpromote to a bishop to avoid stalemate. I think it was even occuring in a famous game which resulted in mate for the underpromoting side. So its not just to shame your opponent.
43:08 Careful with that. Dogs are difficult.
When are you gonna do that QnA?
Englund gambit is great and all, but white can give up the bishop and play nd5 right? Theres no way to prevent losing c7 and rook on a8. If i'm mistaken please let me know.
that’s me at 4:37, I told levy to reach daniel to blunder Qc6
I was also at 8:09 and said yaayayaayay caro and ooh godley gambit actually
Levy, how would I go about playing more aggressively? My rapid rating is ~1700
Why can’t you move your bishop to d4 and check? 31:17
great video, great Daniel
Daniel will quickly get good at chess. Very bright and aggressive
It's funny cause when i watch Daniel in chess lesson videos, i feel like he's still playing poker.
When I first saw your channel I thought you were Antonio Esfandiari the poker player.
