@@MaxIronsThird It's still clickbait, he knows damn well this title implies he'll never be GM, which is dramatic since its just one game that lost him one GM norm
@@austinbryan6759 yes, I'm sure hordes of people thought Levy had just out of the blue abandoned the GM ambition already. This feels like pretty innocent clickbait to me.
Been following you since 2020 and I love your content. Super pumped to see this effort towards GM. Keep up the good work, Levy. You give me hope for myself. Keep kicking ass, okay?
I have been going through some difficult times: surgery, family issues, etc, so I want to thank you so much for helping me through each day. You got me into chess, and now you are helping me through life. Thank you Levy.
I love how brutally honest he is to Levy. It's amusing seeing Levy on the receiving end of it after so many "guess the ELO" roasts. Also interesting that what Levy needs to work on is mostly the same basic principles as me at 1200, just much farther in advance. Don't do stuff if you can't explain why, don't overcomplicate, don't be afraid to make small improvements instead of going for a big attack if it's not reasy yet, don't hang mate (but for me its don't hang m3 or whatever and for Levy it's don't hang m10), etc.
Hey Levy, just wanted to say that I really enjoy these videos with your coach and would enjoy seeing more of these. I enjoy the dynamic of him asking questions and trying to find what you can improve upon without being condescending in the least, and your constant response of humility and simply wanting to get better. Even from a non-chess perspective, it's a great example of how to improve at really anything; also how to learn from others (and how to teach!). Thanks for posting!
Hey man thanks for sharing your failures. You are growing a lot as a player and as a person. To enjoy the sweet taste of success fully one must taste the bitterness of defeat. That is why success taste sweeter. Also enjoy the journey.
Hey bro I got a strange story so I was playing chess on cool math games and then in mid game I saw a check mate but when I check mated my opponent it didn't say check mate but what is strange is he can't move or block the check then he requested a take back but I declined then he left and I claimed victory but I'm sure that it should have been a checkmate. Quick update: He can't take any pieces my horse was guarding the square that he could moved to and I check mated my opponent with a queen.
Just wanted to tell ya how much I enjoy your channel I'm an old guy always look forward to your show glad to see you promoting fitness as well as mental health your a great young man keep it up ❤
I love how the lessons was 'when you overthink the quality decreases' and that in chess that is kinda obvious(because you can clearly see when you tought a lot on the clock).. But this kinda applies to other things in life doesn't it?
I have been here (following this amazing channel) for almost 2 years, the content gets better, the host looks healthier (both physically and mentally) , and I couldn't be happier to see the person who elevated my chess game (450->1600) get closer and closer to the Grand Master title. I believe you can do it , the community believes you can do it, and most importantly, you believe you can do it, thats why you started. Good luck Mr.Rozman!
This is something that I have a problem with too: Finding direction in a chess game. I am directionless, but I just started getting into chess again due to watching Anna Cramling. I haven't played since I was a kid. There was a lot of tactics and calculations I've never considered before when I was a teen. Now I'm 41 and doing it for a declining memory, which seems to help with the visualizations, but how do you overcome a directionless gameplay? I am just playing against 700 elo bots, but I have no direction at all. When I try to do an opening, it organically flows in an entirely different direction. Whenever I move my pieces, they aren't cohesive like the AI bots. So yeah, it's interesting that your problem is direction too.
My problem in chess is that I play a lot of 4X games, and those games usually prioritize building up a strong base structure early and mid game, and picking 2-3 win strategies into the late game, as you acquire resources and snowball over time. Chess is the opposite, as the game goes on, your opportunity space and resources dwindle, and within 2 moves an entire strategy can collapse. So like the trainer said, I have to pick a strategy, commit to it so long as it's not been halted, and only go for tactics when there's opportunity. I don't have Levy's obsession with the center and passed pawns, but I do tend to attempt multiple tactics at the same time instead of having a concrete plan or goal.
Hey Levy! Just wanted to say how much I appreciate your videos. Your passion for chess and unique commentary style make learning the game so enjoyable. Whether you're breaking down complex strategies or sharing funny moments, you always keep us engaged and entertained. Keep up the fantastic work, and know that you've got a whole community behind you, rooting for your success. Thanks for being awesome!" Never give up!!! Namaste form India 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Love these videos, Levy. I'm too poor for Patreon rn lol, but appreciate the uploads. A lot of your coach's critiques feel strangely applicable to my own non-chess personal hurdles.
The space advantage Levy had that coach underscores is written about in the book by Silman “How to reassess your chess.” That Levy is unfamiliar with it is surprising. It’s pretty clear that faster time controls against noobs for content has hurt Levy strategically and psychologically. Looking for shallow tricks and when there are none, floundering like a babe in the woods.
Longshot that this gets read, but Levy, do you find more inspiration or more detail to get into with your chess courses after working with Coach Neiksans that maybe you didn't think to touch on before? Or perhaps, different ways about explaining things? Just genuinely curious if working with him as a coach towards GM has changed your way of thinking in that regard! Can't wait to see you reach that title!
Levy, I just wanted you to know if you read this I purchased your book the other day. I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Now 25 and I’ve been teaching my children, just for recreational activities. Thank you for the effort and thought put into a beginner level book!
Levi, you will always be a GM to me. Thanks for showing us how to handle humbling experiences and to learn from them. Your dialogue with your chess coach was a beautifully instructive video because it was a lesson about life itself, not just chess.
Good coaches need to be brutally honest with their players and students. With chess its true a lot of it is; psychological, seeing ghosts, improving thought processes, avoiding traps, defense, staying calm etc,etc. In my opinion chess is 90% focus and 10% tactics. Great job Levy and coach Neiksans. Thanks for the insights.
If you have the brain for it, chess is like 70% memorization, 20% pattern recognition and 10% tactics. And for all of these to be optimal you have to stay cool.
I Love you so much Levy and I've been watching you a lot since the beginning from India...but I don't think this is the type of content we're looking for in this channel.(Personal opinion)
This might sound stupid but today I just fully realized that I can just not attack things for series of moves while I improve my position. I just beat Nelson without blundering any pieces and won my first 10 minute game where theither party blundered any pieces. I swear it feels like a burden has been lifted from my shoulders. I don't have to make things happen, I can just make my own stuff better and wait for them to explode.
Maybe Levy needs to play the Alekhine defence in some blitz games to gain some perspective regarding evaluation of central positions. And it's fun to play!
