You are the best teacher on UA-cam that I've found! I also loved your danish gambit video. I love that you challenge us to find the best move in places other teachers would take for granted. Thanks for sharing your hard work and great ideas!
at 1:26:38 when mio said, "with idea of bishop c6" i paused and looked for a while super confused about how I had missed the whole idea. Unpaused to hear "c3 sorry." I should not have paused so fast haha!
I play the Scandi as black and learned a lot from this video. I enjoy the Nc6 variation but I definitely don't like that Bb5 move. Your video gave me understanding on why its so tough for black.
37:00 he didn't mention 0-0 Qxe6 when the mate after Nh6 dbl check is really hard to stop. And White isn't even down much material, an exchange for a pawn
I had a blitz game this morning in the line where black plays a Qd8/Nf6 and Bf5 set up .In the position after white has played g4 and h4 you analyse lines with Bb4 and Nbd7 but mu opponent played Be4.I took on e4 and played Qe3 sacing the d4.After he played Qxd4 I went badly wrong but for anyone who gets this position as white you meet Qxd4 with Nf3 which should net you a piece for 2 pawns within a couple of moves as after Bb4ch/Kf1 black struggles to defend his e4 knight.
@@HenryMcCraken4 same here... stuck with najdorf for a long time but i've found a great book i've bought 10 years ago about Scheveningen and i'll give it a try :-)
@28:35 couldn’t you also play Ne5 with the threat of checkmate? I know it’s less forcing, but doesn’t that still work? That way you also get to keep the bishop
@@furkankarakaya26 kings gambit is played in high elo turnaments, but realy rare. You can see magnus, tal, and some other great players using it sometimes and ussualy win. Its good opening for white if you know how to play it. If your great attacking player, you will ussualy win, belive me. Black is better if he is better defender then y are attacker, if hes not then you will win. (sry for bad english)
Another really useful video. I have a question about the ..3Qd6 line considered at 1.00.21 where black has a queen on d8 and responds to d5 with c5, when white plays a4.I have looked at this and can't find any advantage to white.I put it into Lichess analysis with Stockfish hoping there would be a sca with dxe6 or something similar. Whatever the line SF just gives the position as level.
An interesting video. Aforementioned excessive talk actually permits viewer to create PGN files of lines while watching. For viewers with patience, the talk is welcome because there are points that help memorize key move s. However, upon analysis of the lines, as they generally go from weaker to stronger reply by Black, one can find that even the "strongest" reply by black was subpar indeed and that permitted white's supremacy. As somebody mentioned, for blitz games. In the line 3.. Qd8, after 5.. Bf5 and 6.Bc4, 6..c6 is inferior move too : Nbd7, Be6, and e6. similar omissions can be found in almost every line
Please don't stop talking a lot about positions. Personally, I learn a lot from the little nuances you often speak about. Don't worry about those impatient people who just want to get to the moves.
it is very interesting, but not too practical for average players. Because some of mentioned lines are good only for correspondence chess. But playing over the board it is impossible to remember all the deviations. And if you do not remember something then it is easy to find yorself lost in one of these sharp variations.
Interesting to see the basics of an opening explained. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful for that, but for me the video is too long with too much idle talk, and I'm already watching with double speed. And yes, White has the bishop pair, I got it.
I agree with you but only in the first part. Levi has no fucking idea what he is talking about if he is off the engine, especially in Scandi. In terms of educational value his content is trash, though I agree it's very entertaining.

thanks
impossible to watch
I play the Scandi all the time.... this video was great. Now I got to find some new defenses to the white attacks in this vid. Thanks....
Johnny from the block finds this video offensive
As a Scandi player, so do I. How dare you teach others how to attack our Scandi!
Your honor, this was a great video -- thank you so much for making the time to educate us.
Scandinavian Master class! Wow! everything covered in comprehensive detail. Good work Mio! (Please someone make a Chessable course from this xD)
at 1:26:38 when mio said, "with idea of bishop c6" i paused and looked for a while super confused about how I had missed the whole idea. Unpaused to hear "c3 sorry." I should not have paused so fast haha!
Best thing I've Ever seen against the Scandinavian. Thank you very much!
What an awesome lesson! Thank you very much Butcher!
Also at 28:25 there is Ne5 giving up the queen but going for Be2 mate if he takes the queen.
Also if he doesn't take the queen, he's attacking the bishop so it has to move.
I like to Transition into the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit when facing the Scandinavian defense
Well then black can play a French

At 18:00 I was thinking eigther c4 or c2-c3-c4 depending on where the bishop b4 stands worse

He plays Be6, you are still winning but you dont win a pawn
Great video! Thank you very much.
thanks for the video miodrag
what a chess unbelievable i like it thanks for teaching IM perunovic god bless u
king's gambit with 3.Nf3 too please!
Alex Gabriel black is better
@@furkankarakaya26 no?
@@nikolabuljevic7878 do u know why kings gambit isnt played in high elo tournaments, because black is better if u know how to defend and study theory

very informative. updated. it adds to my repertoire... like it very much..
Time 28:20, what's wrong if Ne5, instead of Bf7?

Was there a variation where qd5 kc3 qa5 kf3 bg4?
Great video 👍.
Keep up the good work
Nice, what about the portugese variation?
what is Nigel Davies's book Miodrag keep referring to ?
Amazing video, love your work, thanks for all this great content. Btw what can I do if he plays 12.Qe2 O-O ?
What a beast
Any videos playing against e4 d5 exd5 nf6 line??
Nice shirt
very good video with good side lines!!!
3. Nc3 Qd8. 4. d4 c6 5. Nf3 Bf5
How does white play?
Well hopefully
Where are the follow up videos?
Opening video over a hour having tags for different variations should be a must honestly
What about c3 followed by c4? 18:35
Great Video!
around 1:35:04 does Ne6 work at all? ...fxe6 Rxe6 ..... Rfe1
I hate playing against the scandi so much. It’s always such a boring game. Thanks for this.
I am IM ;)
Cute gambit, why the 3 dislikes?
Mio has a nice shirt
what if Queen moves from d5 to f5
Im are the best coaches
What about 2...KNf6 answer
Please someone can tell me the name or where to find the GM he mentions at 03:10?

Srb a, kul.
Fun idea: if I name my next child "Grandmaster Bob", he will be the youngest chess grandmaster, without even playing a single game of chess. :)
Grand Prix for black
You are very similar to Vladimir Zelensky - ukrainian actor and showman.

its for blitz dude
Barack, is that really you in the comments? A lot of people miss you, bra.
yo
I feel like you just making the video long by explaing all of the really obvious
Too slow
you can put one of my games and lecture on it if you like

Max Meier dont watch it then .
lot of blah blah blah, very slow explaining. good time waster
This guy sounds like all he does is smoke cigarettes and play chess
You talk too much...get to the point
too much intro talk.look up gotham chess for interesting n educational videos
I agree with you but only in the first part. Levi has no fucking idea what he is talking about if he is off the engine, especially in Scandi. In terms of educational value his content is trash, though I agree it's very entertaining.
