  1. Sheisse, that 200 played much more objectively and cleanly than I, and I'm theoretically 600

  2. I am so wildly unpredictable like I can beat a 1100 bot I was rated 1500 but my elo is 175 😢😢

  3. Imagine what the players would be thinking fighting Levy but then think Levy is trying to balance it out

  4. Levy never fails at teaching us not to take things unless we’re sure we can get away with it.

  5. Take a drink everytime he says "rule of thumb". Drink everytime he says "generally". Drink 3 when he says "generLly rule of thumb" together

  6. " A dad who does Yoga, which is a shocking thing " damn Levy really, as a beginner i learned alot

  7. Great series, Im a beginner and it's really nice to see the line of thought behind a game. Thak you

  8. 39:51. I Dont understand how he could have won ..? Can someone explain. Thanks

  9. Wow. Fabulous job! Your comments are really my thoughts sometimes because I'm a low level player and you are great at showing mistakes these thoughts lead to!

  10. In the Game 3 at the end why did he say that bf2 is game over when the king could've simply move to kf1??

  11. As a beginning chess player, this is one of the most instructive and helpful things I have ever watched. Amazing series.

  12. Why do you insist on pushing this nonsense? I have told you in the past that there cannot be a chess rating below 800 for the simple fact that a person that does not know how to play chess cannot possibly win a game against someone that does.

  13. Which app is this? How do I play with a ranking

  14. Im obsessed with the chess since I started watching your videos..Can u make a good playlist where I can learn each and everthing abt chess from absolute beginner level (or) If u already have them can u make a video of the pathway

  15. Wow, sooo many moves that doesn’t look crtitical, at some level, they really are. Thanks for sharing

  16. "A dad who does Yoga" which is a shocking thing lmao

  17. "Opponent blundered and we cleaned it up"😆

  19. i started to play chess 1 month ago. This is the best video to learn

  20. Ive watched this video so many times and im still getting smoked by 500 elos

  21. I wonder how the player in very 1st match is just 200 elo…….cuz he has played a really good game so far

  22. Hi guys, haven't played chess for quite a while. I wonder if Bb5 at 12:25 is a good sacrifice

  23. You have such enthusiasm teaching this game. I'll be watching the whole series. I've already got a better understanding after the first game.

  24. I keep hearing Chess is all about pattern recognition, but as a non-chess player visual artist I would compare it more to QR Code Memorization. Can someone please help explain?

  25. Yooo this is god sent. I won the last 6 games because of this video. The way you explain the mistakes and the tactics is just perfect

  26. Outstanding I'm a complete beginner and this so informative and the hour just flew by

  27. Yoo this can be the best tutorial for chess out there, hats of to you man

  28. I like how earnest Levy comes across, and usually makes a point to let the viewer know a lot of good moves aren't easy to see

  29. Me feeling sad about being bad about chess. Hears ladies and gentlemen🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

  30. ty for this series.. Extremely beneficial for those who want to simply enjoy chess. ❤ ❤

  31. Levy playing the 500: "This move is a bit too much for a 500"
    Me a 500 screaming at him to take the move:

  32. Late to the party here for the series. But what a hell of a party it is! UNBELIEVABLY helpful for my game. Coming on leaps and bounds. What a guy!
