Levy is the type of person to make us believe that we are good enough to gain chess elo

As a respectful 400 elo person, I can say that I reached 200 elo with the help of this video.

Can we appreciate how much levy cares about our elo? Thanks to him i went from 900 elo to 500.

Bro, the part in the 1700 rated match where you asked if the rook should protect latterly or horizontal blew my mind, thanks for pointing that out. Great video btw.

thank you levi for making this guide. i will definitely remember to credit this specific video when i take ding liren's world champion title in 2025 for teaching me everything i need to know

Thanks to this video, I started gaining elo points for all my opponents.

Oh boy, i missed educational gotham a lot. Levy is a great teacher.

Went from 1750 to 1200 after this video, thx Levi

Guys I'm here just to tell you not to feel too bad: I'm 1700 and I still make a lot of this mistakes, keep it up you'll make it

gotta love Levis dedication to us 300 elo players

Love the instructional videos. The ones where you play subscribers at different elos and talk through your tactics are my favourite. Thanks

as someone trying to improve this is one of your best videos yet, would love to see this as a series - the way you analyze the games and explain how to improve in a way we can understand makes this a great "win at chess" vibe

Can we appreciate how Levy never fails to make me giggle and swing my legs in the air? 😊

Very instructional video. Give us more of these Levy!

That third match was interesting. I find at 1551 I can sometimes struggle with a proper end game. I know a good amount of basic opening for both sides. I can recognize positions and usually know what my opponent will want in given situations. However, in the end game I sometimes struggle to properly move my king. I know the basic principle of trying to move king towards the center etc. Oh well, will keep learning!

Love this content! I get that the goofy guess the Elo stuff gets more views, but I love classic Levy teaching. Thanks for throwing us dorks a bone here and there!

thanks for including stuff for more intermediate players. found this very insightful appreciate it

0:36 "I make a lot if entertaining chess content" So modest, Levy, so humble 😅

Very informative video! It's unreal how much you see in a position. You're a good teacher.

i went from -300 elo to 100 elo, truly a lifesaver

End games are so rough. i remember a few weeks back I had lost several rapid games, I took a shower to cool off, then said by hell or high water, I'm winning this next game. Played a 70 something move long game against my opponent, 86% accuracy from both of us, and I looked at the eval afterwards and had no clue where I had made a mistake. Apparently at during a rook and pawn majority vs rook and pawn minority, when I was checked by the rook, I had the choice of going towards my passer on the right side of the board, or the pawn majority on the left side of the board to confront the enemy king, and I chose to stick with my passed pawn, and that was the wrong move because I allowed the enemy king active counter play, and I drew the game about 20 or 30 moves later. Felt absolutely crushed after that.

My favorite thing you've done in a while. The fun stuff is great, but you are a good teacher and I'm happy to get a little bit of that mixed in.

This is one of the best videos you've ever uploaded... and you've got QUITE A BUNCH of excellent videos to choose from. Incredible content 👏

Very instructive stuff levy thanks a lot i love this! 😄😁, coloured square weakness and not trading pieces and a lot more

Will there be a part two? Fornthos eof us who want to improve our chess this would be a great series XD

I am in for the instructive vids. More of long game explanation for sub games. It’s genuinely so helpful

I finally broke 1000 blitz, and I'm pushing it on bullet. I'm so happy. I see Gotham producing more elo. I click.

thank you so much Levy! I was hoping for another video like this for months since it really helped me. I am stuck at around 1700 since a few months and I am looking forward to improve. I know that most of your audience is around 1000 elo but I would be really happy if you would continue this series, also with higher elo people like 1800+ to 2200 some day! thanks for the content :)

you know, I usually skip ads/sponsors but since I feel like you're a genuine person Levy, I watch every sponsor and don't skip them anymore :) not sure if that helps you but its the best I can do.

Please make more videos like this. Loved the analysis.

I really like how directly instructive this was! I'd really appreciate more of these.

Very instructional video. Give us more of these Levy! Thanks!

One of my recent D&D characters was a wizard named Henry

Big up the advice content!

would like see more instructional videos like these

Going to a tournament at the end of the month so perfect timing! Thanks Gotham!

These instructional videos are really nice, thank you Levy

27:45 that bishop is about to cause a whole hell a lot of problems 😂

It's always great when levy bangs with an instructive one.

"Always protect your king!" I've had some games where I was down 5+ in material that turned around because opponent moved the king's only protection.

Beautiful video Gotham. Give us more of these. I'm 11-1200 range and see every one of these mistakes in my own games at times. Send more please!!

I gain elo in bullet by setting a "one loss" rule - I play until I lose once. It helps me avoid my biggest problem of trying to make up for a loss and playing in a bad head space.

This reminds me of old Levy videos. I missed stuff like this.

In the second game white had a Qa1 sacc at the end. If the King takes it is mate and if he goes to f3 you can either take the rook directly or fork the Queen and the King with Rd2.

I loved the part when Levy told us the 1 secret he promised in the title

Thanks for the great instructional video! I love this type of videos, please make more of this format!!

The thing that im probably struggling the most is probably trying to get a good start or just finding the best moves in the opening because if you start bad the you end uo worse

yeah the passive rook mistake was a great learning

This is very helpful stuff, we need more videos like this

levy, ive been stuck from 800-900 elo for so long, but thanks to you i finally got out of that range. proud to be in the 700 club!!

“You can’t control how others play. You can only control yourself”. The similarities between life and chess are sublime

more of this please

11:56 That's a Benoni Defense, I play that too(at 1.5)

Great video. Should be a series.

idk why but every sentence levy says seriously i think can be turned into a meme lol. love ur content levy u are amzing

I’ll join in the choir, more content like this please!

How do you share your game with him?

Levy’s consistency is insane lessgoooo another videooo

Always a banger when it's educational content from Levy

If I get opponents like either player in that first game my ELO would rise very quickly

This video might not be as popular as your other ones, but as a learning chess player I appreciate so much your classes on how to get better at this game. Please don't let the low view count sway you from making videos like this cause they are super helpful for anyone that seeks to improve

More videos like this pls

i just hope to get better cuz this video gave me motivation to break through 800s thanks levy 😊

Yes this was helpful! Please do more like this.

Gotham never fails to roast his viewers every video.

such a humble man giving us free tips to gain elo

I just won Magnus with white pieces. Looking forward to next lesson so I can win with black as well. Thanks Levi!

We love you levy and the fans love me I will never forget that one time where you won a online game using me 2 years ago in march

Love instructional videos. Need more help!!!

Hey levi ik u wont probably see this but in the second game where the bishop is stopping short castle isnt also possible for a long castle bringing the rooks into the game i understanf that side is very open for attacks but from what i can see its defendable

just got to 800 and actually proud of myself it aint much but im getting there

5:16 - "The queen cannot teleport" ChatGPT: Well... I disagree.

Thank you Levy you give really clear and useful tips and instructions, this was a very fun, educational and insightful video Again thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Really appreciate the instructional content. I've missed it.

Yes it was helpful please keep making videos like these I personally learnt a lot , thank you

I started at 300 now 1 year Later after much levy and much dedication, I'm proud to say im now 500 (high elo)

We need more of these videos. This was just wonderful ❤

No joke levy ur the GOAT i was 300 elo now im almost 1100 all in 7 month thanks to u ur funny and makes learning chess fun ty truly

This was a great and instructional video. Could you please start a series where you would analyze subscriber's mistakes, that would be awesome!

His face lightens up when he's teaching. In streams his countenance is like.. well don't get me started.

I love these instructional videos! Please do more of these, I wanna get better at chess! Thanks!!! ❤❤❤

Very cool video. I like the focus on instructiveness a lot

Very helpful and fun to watch, thank you Levy!

Great video. I've been stuck at 1500 elo forever, this series is extremely helpful!

19:24 the change in the eval bar there was crazy

Brilliantly helpful!

i am still surprised levys camera is still here and not broken from his deadly stare

Simply.. make this a series!!

"You should get elo NOW" literally becoming low tier god with the old title lmO

I would like to thank gotham. I went from 400 to 1000 elo with this kind of videos.

the second game was pure pain

Thank you for a helpful video! I enjoy these a lot.

1 Secret Hack for Elo is to play slowest time control in each category. 2+1 bullet instead of 1+0, 5+0 / 5+3 blitz instead of 3+0, 15+10 rapid instead of 10+0.

"The queen cant teleport" Chat gpt.. hold my beer

Keep up with those videos

In first match, black has a problem with diagonal blindness, that is my problem and I don't know how to get rid of it

I gained so much ELO by making a new account after watching this video, thanks Levi

Levolt Rockman thank you for this video you are one of the chess ever
