1:45 was hilarious. I got your london course.

I'm a new yorker. I want to be 100% clear, he's a type. I apologize for his behavior. He's often very vocal. :P

Classic Alex W :0:0:0:0:0 Wowowowowowow Get owned Dropped this king 👑 🥵🥵🥵🥵 Super grate ches playor

Think that sums it up very well, as the Gotham vids i only warched to find the best openings and then i had to find out how to play it and found alex

​@@sdfghuihef5602gotham is just more for chilling smoking a blunt and having a laugh. I use daniel naroditsky to learn he got me to 1500 so i'm glad his vids exist. This guy is pretty good but i find the caro kahn to be boring lol

I Agree

Took the words right out of my mouth.

this is my story as well

Man is multi-talented

Levy is very good with pronouncing foreign names.

Levy is very good replicating foreign sounds which is honestly surprising because most Americans I've known, even when they might have a high fluency in a foreign language you can always tell they are Americans because of their accent.

This was by far the best part😂😂😂😂

That part had me on the floor 😂😂

Actually true, if not Alex's "boring" play style, win a pawn win the game mantra, or caro kann etc - I'm not sure how long it would take me to understand that principle(minimalizm in winning, win a pawn, win a game), so as to test caro kann as well. I mean nice care about guys with small))

I also reached 1000 recently ❤

I climb from 800 to 1200 thanks to alex too. I learn not to overcomplicate thing, how to sacrifice, how to trade pieces, how to handle passing pawn, and finally london-caro opening. The other streamers boast all those moves that unpractical.

@@ExileNova congratulations, welcome to the 1000 club.

@@kevienarizky7628 Ikr, I was very aggressive and try a lot of gambits until get lost on my own move. Then, I find Alex, he really help me to be more patient, make a solid defense and plan for attack which are the best for noob like me. And also his voice is just so soothing and calming for me to learn.

Totally. Longer game would not favor Gotham.

@@oceanblues7 for sure. Would be really fun to see. I really don’t like blitz games. Would much rather people have a little time to make better moves rather than constantly worrying about the clock. But you’re right, I assumed too much in my comment based on how Alex had outplayed Gotham 3 times in a row but lost to time - which in blitz - that’s a big part of the game - and Gotham was better at it, at least in this small sample of games. I hadn’t really looked at their rapid ratings, so if they are the same, well, they would probably match well. Idk. I’m a 1250 player and I can’t even begin to get into the minds and skill sets of people at their level.

I mean they could play blitz still, but with increments.

did you mean tree games?

Watch the end please 🙏

​@@AlexBanzeaYou are really great and very thoughtful., 🎉

what s his other channel?

@@Alex25. I think he means Levy's channel + Alex.

@@AlexBanzea Yes, I guess that the lesson here is that chess player make bad gangster rappers...

I can feel you too.... :-/

Losing on time is losing. Anyone who makes excuses while losing on time is being a gamma. Time is a crucial part of chess matches, and one could easily argue that if more time were allotted, then Gotham could have not made bad moves earlier on and won.

@@basedbear1605 of course -- yet, it is completely neglected in the evaluation of positions! Which is totally incomprehensible to me. It definitely influences what should be considered the "best move" in many occasions.

@@M-F-HStockfish is not human. It can almost instantly play top computer moves, so the eval bar is what Stockfish vs Stockfish would result in, not what two humans playing the position would result in. Hence in some cases blunders being called brilliant moves without the human understanding how to follow up, or in this case, humans playing the best moves, but running out of time as a result

​​@@andrewwilson9123whatever stockfish plays is obviously a computer move but not necessarily a top move. In limited time analysis computers "often" miss the best move (e.g. Solution of a puzzle) . In computer chess tournaments they have limited time (more than a few seconds!) per move and their strength varies considerably depending on the time they can use. So even for "stockfish against stockfish" it matters. But I was indeed thinking of human chess. I repeat that imho the remaining time is an essential information for the evaluation of a position.

try Naroditsky chanel, specialy his speedruns, very nice way of learning also

Beating Gotham 3 games in a row ? Alex is a misleading liar and should be disciplined for false information. I don't root or prefer Gotham (Levy) but this is an out and out LIE!

@@sachacek no, but IMRosen, Naroditsky, & even GM Smirnov teach without having to hype their vids with a lie..

The world wide web’s chess teacher!

@@Foozkillah Agreed. What I said is still true though...

Fr

It kind of does matter, though. Only because Alex made it a grudge match, and took potshots at him like making a horrible thumbnail and digging at the 1st win like "I had a clearly superior position and lost on time"... no.. you lost, period. Alex needs to grow up a bit.

He's always hilarious, you just have to pay attention.

​@@rustedcorpse nah he tries too hard to be gothamchess it's really cringe

Did you miss at the beginning when he recommended his London course if you want to add an extra few inches to your penis?

@@kineticballs77Bollocks

@@kineticballs77Nah, he is much more low-key than Gotham. I enjoy Levy's videos, but you can't deny the dude shouts a lot.

"All the variations"??? After the double check there are not very many. I think 16 seconds is just about enough time.

You also need Slav or semi Slav defence against 1. D5

Next month if everything goes as planned

I'll be your first customer! Already have your London course and nearly completed all of it. Purposely not buying anyone else's!

💯 agree
