    I could not have defeated Magnus without studying the Middlegames Masterclass course on Chessly.

      Clearly you guys have not watched the Video where Magnus basically does the equivilant of a kings speech before battle lol
      Video is titled "imagine training your whole life to become a GM then you face Magnus with the weirdest opening" by chess games on youtube
      Its a wild wild wild opening by Magnus with 6 king moves or something hahaha

    I made a poem about this legend.
    In Gotham City, where the winds blow cold,
    Where night descends with stories untold,
    There's a chess player, born to be bold,
    A master of strategy, brave and bold.
    His name is Levy Rozman, known far and wide,
    As a chess warrior, with an unbeatable side,
    With every move, he takes his pride,
    And his opponents quake, before he decides.
    He builds his armies, with careful precision,
    And every piece is given a special mission,
    His knights, his bishops, his pawns, his queen,
    All work in unison, like a well-oiled machine.
    In Gotham, he reigns supreme,
    A chess champion, like never seen,
    His skills, his wit, his genius in play,
    Is what makes him shine, day by day.
    So if you're ever in Gotham, do not fear,
    For Levy Rozman is always near,
    And with his chessboard, he'll lead the way,
    To victories, and glory, without delay.

  • @kjp2006
    @kjp2006 Рік тому +1

    This taught me so much as it's the first complete game I watched of Levys.
    1. If Magnus isn't receiving brilliant move credits then I shouldn't be expecting to receive them.
    2. This also tells me that while we are attempting to value sacrificing/keeping a piece it probably should have less weight behind this overall. After reviewing a handful of matches of Magnus's, It's impressive how fast and loose he can play his pieces and come out on top, while somebody with an opposing strategy can possibly do the same for very different reasons and have similar results. Not necessarily referring to Levy completely on this one, but he tends to utilize this concept often in various ways.
    3. If 2322 can win against 2853, It shows there's always opportunity in a game.
    3. Last but certainly not least, Humans are a product of the culture around them and this results in its own level of flaws like preference over other factors. You look at Carlsen's Sicilian Defense choice. It's his most common defense and it's also been used in around 20% of all games since 1960. while it's one of the oldest registered defenses, you can look at the Nimzo-Indian Defense created in the 1920s as an alternative to the Sicilian to prioritize pawn placement over Bishops. While the percentages are lower back then, relative to the others being played, it was quite high for that time. It tells us quite a bit about how people like Fischer and Kasparov impacted Magnus, as he could have used Alekhines preferred Indian Game: Knights Variation or Lasker's most commonly used Ruy Lopez Opening: Berlin Defense, but he didn't. I'm sure there's plenty of justifications for the Sicilian as it's never a bad move, but it's the influence behind why the line of thought and preference I find more interesting here.
