Damn Levy speaks Russian in a near flawless Russian accent and speaks Spanish in a near flawless Russian accent

"Getting checkmated is bad" that is a powerful insight my bro

I really enjoy your content. You are just the right amount of instructive and sarcasm

ever thought about streaming on twitch? i feel like that'd be fun to watch

my man said chicken, broccoli, he out here having salads on bread while were eating pizza gg

Hey Levy. I started a few months ago with only playing king´s indian and Pirc defense. You only need this 2 openings and forget about the rest for black wich is great for me as a sub 1600 player. Therefore, I´m very glad to see this series you made. I also watched a lot tutorials about this opening before, but when watching you playing it, I also learn a lot of new things and it is somehow easier to understand/memorize this way. It´s very instructive and helpful, thanks alot!

Ayyy I just watched your kings Indian basics and was looking for a vid like this

Really enjoy the ratings climb series and the instructional videos. Thx for the content!

Thanks for the reminder @ 33:11. I have been watching your chess videos for like two months and figured I already had subscribed for some reason.

His first game you really see how resourceful a titled player is and the composure and experience they have. The amount of times I’d feel pressure in tactical moments and calculating lines correctly, he sees so many resources and ideas. I played a grandmaster last week and it was very much the same, I’m only 1200 so of course I’m amazed by it but, man, it’s remarkable to see just how resourceful they are.

Rating 1600 - "OOH, it's a blunder!". Rating 2500 - "Just hallucinated"

Another great one Levy - Thx bro! I predict you will be over 200k in the next few months, your content is just so great and the teaching is very easy to follow. Cheers!

also, to even flesh your point out about subs/monetization/etc. even further -- I myself have purchased Kasparov's Master class, which is great, but it's maybe a total of 5 hours, and mostly non-specific - whereas all the streamers will put out vast quantities of educational stuff of every single flavor or take on Chess you could possibly come up with. I have no problem with you asking for money when you a actually providing a service.

Super entertaining and instructive videos. Love your channel! Thanks for making such good content

I've been watching and learning. Very fast paced, but that makes me have to learn faster. I'm really liking the King's Indian opening. Going to work on the Dutch for black and London for white. Thanks for the videos 👍🏻

Great stuff. I've just started playing again and taking my learning more seriously. I have some friends starting again also and I'm sending them here.

New sub on youtube here! Love your stuff so far. Gonna check out your twitch.

you are the best of chess content creators, you're really awesome. grateful for your sincerity and teaching

Playing Levy's weapon against him must be the ultimate test lol!! I have the D4 course and I love it!

Watching all the rating climbs glad you ended up playing against all of your best setups for both sides. Bought e6b6 hopefully I'll get better soon, thanks Levy!

Absolutely brilliant video! Bravo Gotham 👏👏👏

Man you're stream is amazing and with awesome teaching

Thank you so much for your content man! My game improved.

I've been playing the Pirc/KID cuz o you, Levy, thanks for showin it to me and helpin me learn it

Loving the KZfaq vs Twitch shout outs

i subbed on twitch becuase man are these youtube videos well done

I watched this video when it came out years ago, but came back to work on my game, now I am a huge UFC fan. love to hear some positive stuff about Khabib. one of my favorite as well.

For a long time my favorite pizza topping was pepperoni and sausage. Pretty basic. I would experiment with other more wacky choices like chicken and bacon on an Alfredo pizza (its a thing dont @me), and yet I would always find myself coming back to the same tried and true pepperoni and sausage. Every order that I would place something to branch out eventually I would just regret not getting pepperoni and sausage. And then things changed. I became the Assistant Manager in Training of a local Dominos réstáuranté and pizzeria and I could try so many new flavors and combinations, things I'd never even imagined. I did the math once on how many possible arrangements of 3 topping pizzas you can have, a number I have since forgotten, but the point is it was a lot, and I tried most. I tried so many different types of pizza in my time there that now I'm pretty sick of pizza. And that's why I don't have a favorite pizza topping

I really appreciate your content Levy

Great angle!

As always brilliant and instructive content

Levi i just hit 1700 cause of your vids ty. Also i dont think there is nothing wrong with asking for donos just keep doing what u are doing man. Cya respect

Thanks for the instructional videos

Can you please continue into the 1400 if you have time! I’m currently a 1303 and use the this opening almost every time I’m black. Thank you levy for these beautiful videos

My timezone doesn't match up with your streaming schedule but I love your videos on youtube.

You should do 1 of these videos for the hippo

21:25 K, have a good “knight”.

Start of every new game: 0:43 10:52 19:33 22:55 35:03 42:00

Mozzarella and pesto panini. Great lunch and super fun. I hope someone plays the four pawns attack, really fun variation

Big thanks for everything, I have a question; what happened to Part 4?

Great work, any other setup-based openings for black?

Good content thanks!

Hey that's the czech variation of the pirc defence in the first game; push c6 and use the queen for a pin.

Hey Levy I love this series, do you offer private lessons?

I would love to win an openings cource. Going through a divoce right now. and Chess is my escape

45:12 Somewhere Ben Finegold just visibly “twitched”.

I love levy's face when he realizes he missed a free queen at 28:09

Dude just dropping down in the comment box to let you know your Spanish was pretty clean almost as good as your e6b6 course much love from Spain

Plz make a king’s Indian course plz I learn a lot and am sure many will buy it

Love these climes

can you do more rating climbs?

I am a beginner, and after watching this play list, I absolutely love the King Indian defense. I've now practiced it against other beginners, and they all crumble under the pressure!

Love these

Please Continue this serie

My favourite pizza topping is pineapple, but only when it's with bacon

Man saced a queen and opponent resigned almost immediately, golden

Oh come ooon.. i really enjoyed your talking i fkin miss the big part of middle game.. you really sound like Dr. Watson which i like his character so much on sherlock series with benedict cumberbatch

thanks for the videos

@10:41 ... Italian Sausage, Onion, Jalepenō, Pineapple, Canadian Bacon....Sometimes minus the Pineapple, since the Canadian Bacon supplies a good amount of sweetness...

Great job Levy

Commenting for Levy's stats/the KZfaq algorithm.

A reuben with a slab of corned beef is my fav!

rewatching OG Gotham is a little wild

Thanks for this climb, actually killing it with kings Indian

I just reached 1000 rating tonight i couldn't do it with out your help.thanks keep it going

I'm so surprised that no one plays e5 against this setup against Levy. I get it all the time and the game looks so different that what I've seen in this series

Favorite pizza topping definetly is prosciutto crudo and cream. Little heavy, but can be a godsendt if done well

I always get closed off and struggle to get out of it getting trapped.

Am I the only one that thought levy was low key weird but yet funny for his “crazy” at 43:22 lmao

i will try twitch havent tried it before i will watch u bru

My favourite pizza topping is just good old regular prosciutto, I love semplicity

26:34 So he has a pretty active position 26:59 His pieces are pretty passive

that thumbnail is one of the most cursed things I've ever seen

I love playing against the Pirc in bullet (I play 1 e4). I end up playing h4, h5 and after Nxh5, I sac the exchange to shatter his King's position with my minor pieces joining the attack very quickly.

Nobody: Levy every video: the engine is crazy

im gonna come sub on twitch

Are you making more king's indian rating climbs?

Levy can you please show why the Yugoslav/English attack like structures, say, the Sämisch(or even the Bf4 Nc3 long castle you suggested) are not that easy to play against black in the KID and just h4 h5 sac sac mate like in the Dragon? Most of the time I try to employ the same concepts of the Yugoslav against black in the KID but it just never works in my favour.

What cole song was he playing? Issa banger either way since it's from born Sinner

Levy I wanted to find out what to do when someone pushed their pawns early(e5 attacks the knight and we trade queens. I know you said it's not good for white but I don't understand how, I will waste moves trying to protect my knight) but no one did:(

Low key best pizza topping drizzle some sweet chilli sauce after cooking = make any damn pizza absolute fire!!!

Thx Levy

love how he teaches

That first opponent was impressive for 1200. Guess he does well under pressure!

I've never tried chicken broccoli and will have to now as it sounds pretty good. Usually mushrooms and banana peppers though

Good job with the languages man. amazing. Keep up the good job.

Can someone please help? Is the king's indian works best with only the black pieces or with white as well? Thank you

ang galing mo ... (you re very good Master )..

hey, have you ever thought of streaming on twitch?

How old is this VOD? People are legit talking about the WCF in the NBA playoffs

My favourite pizza topping is crabs and parmesan.The Italian opening.

He asked, so I gotta say, I love pastrami, salami, and a lot of vegetables, then oil vinegar, salt and pepper. Makes a ton of flavors all come together neatly and nicely.

I wasn't sold on you at first but honestly really sucked into your content now. Great personality, instructive gameplay, all-round fun stuff.

In the first game Levy literally plays an Elshad system.

well, levy, i’m glad you asked!! my favorite pizza topping is coconut 😁

Of course

Is there any next part of this coming?

levy can you do a all white and black rating climb?

That painting with the chimpanzee and human skull is amazing

Damn what happened to e6 b6... I'm studying it right now and he just stopped playing it after the first video.
