Levy sees a chessboard for 0.5 seconds
Levy: ahh the famous scandanavian trap
Because it is easy to spot these kind of moves.
It’s awhhhh
Not ahhh
The move at 4:54 where the bishop takes the queen... how does that win the puzzle? What is the main line to win the match from there? I wish it was explained because I can’t seem to find it.
@@MrHamm1234 your just up a queen for bishop. A huge material lead which you can use to eventually win.
Step 1: Check for nasty discoveries
Step 2: Put on Morphy head
Step 3: Captures captures
Hey agadmatarinho
Lol
TAKES TAKES***
Step 4: Captures
Where is the new video
"Checks, captures, attacks" brought me from 600 to 1000 puzzle rating in 24 hours. Listen to this man, he is a genius.
yep, same here ^^ I registered on chess.com after watching him and Hikaru for a couple of days and went straight to 1050 thanks to "Checks, captures and attacks"
Thats not his idea tho, it's something everyone knows
@@monarier7200 clearly not?
My rating before I used Checks captures and attacks was 350 but now it’s 1200
I have 1800 puzzle rating
Look for moves that’ll make levy go “That’s disgusting!”
17:35 and it was in this position, that IM Levy resigned the game, as there is nothing more to be done here. Black plays Bg5 and it’s just completely winning for black - Agadmator
Exactly Bg5 was very solid
ERROR
Levy.exe has stopped working
Lmao he missed Qxe5+
he was not playing a game he was solving puzzles
@@santanubaral5203 don't take my jokes too literally 😉
17:42 LITERALLY MY REACTION EVERYTIME I DO PUZZLE
26:03 “You’ve successfully found the worst move on the whole board” 😂😂😭😭
The Gordon Ramsay of chess.
As did I xD
And I was so proud...
i was confused on this puzzle why don’t you just take the bishop before he moves his queen and then take the rook, rook can’t take because you unpin the knight and then knight takes queen and you are up a bishop AND a rook
OH YOU’RE IN CHECK IM SPED
chatter: "knight g5 looks good"
levy: "knight g5 is literally the worst move on the board"
17:42 for a moment I thought it was my internet connection
Can't sleep rn coz my stupid ass brain keeps wondering about how many times Levy said the phrase "Checks, captures, and attacks" to himself in his entire life
Golden achievement unlocked: Say "checks, captures and attacks" to yourself 1,000,000 times
17:09
In this position the reason why gxh6 works because you make way for the queen to captures the e6 pawn and it gives a discovered check from the rook, if the king goes to h8 it's possibly mate in a series of moves.
Thank you, Travis Scott!
10:16 this man just turned into a bird
I nearly jumped
Anish Giri brought me to your channel, really happy to be here...great stuff 🤘🏻
Did you know that once he was scrolling through the chess section of twitch looking for small channels and stumbled across GothamChess? He then proceeded to tell his wife that this guy is gonna be the next big thing, and now look where he is! This is a true story, you can even ask his wife! (But actually don’t ask his wife)
@@largenaq2935 you might not believe me but I did something like that, I am no big chess player but I searched for good chess videos and most videos on top were trash, his channel was somewhere low in there, took a lot of digging and finally found it. He had 20k subs which is very less for his talent.
@@sjegannath6295 i am following gotham chess since he has 300 subs lol
@Eni Gjinaj your comment was clever
25:55
me: NG5, NG5, NG5
levy: that is literally the worst move on the board
me: yeah... yeah, thats why im 900 elo
Lmao
Lol
come on I am 700 and I could still solve that puzzle
As much as I loved the instructional value of this video, nothing beats witnessing the pure joy levy felt when he saw the wicked move at the end. This man absolutely LOVES the beautiful game of chess.
on 17:35 .... gxh6 discover check, black goes Kh8, then Qxe5+ check, then f6 blocks the queen check, after that Qxe7 takes a free bishop
17:35 The reaction XD
17:09
In this position the reason why gxh6 works because you make way for the queen to captures the e6 pawn and it gives a discovered check from the rook, if the king goes to h8 it's possibly mate in a series of moves.
"Oh! I'm so bad at chess!" - Levy Rozman, IM
...then there's me who's stuck at ~800
me who’s still in the 200s 😂

1 : Play the game
Keep practicing
2 : Learn the checkmates
Know how to checkmate with king and queen vs king, king and rook vs king, king and pawn vs king, scholars mate, backrank mate, two rook mate, etc.
3 : Checks, captures, attacks
The thing mentioned in the video, look for checks then captures then attacks
4 : Scholars mate
Many people would do the scholars mate against you. Watch gotham's stopping early queen attacks video to see how to prevent it.
5 : Opening Principles
a - Control the center
The 4 middle squares (d4, d5, e4, e5) should be controlled by you meaning you should have atleast one piece attacking those squares
b - Develop your pieces
Put all your pieces in the middle of the board (4 and 5 rank) except the queen because it is extremely valuable.
c - Castle
Just castle as quickly as possible
d - Prevent
Prevent the opponent from doing these
(in no particular order)
@@Gamer-uf1kl 6 : Google en passant
17:35 I believe the solution is gxh6 check Kh8, Qxe5 check Bf6, QxBf6 check Kh7, Rg7#
Love your content man, recently got back into chess and I've being struggling to improve until I found your channel. Every video you do I am able to learn something.
people:slow down a lil bit give us time to solve
*meanwhile hikaru speed solving puzzles
Bottom line, he started like us
@@victormutuma3827 real bottom line : u must be fun at parties
@@rohithjacob4699 Maybe
Hikaru solves the puzzle faster than I can even figure out which color is mine. FeelsBadMan
@@victormutuma3827 false
Loving the pivot from «Oh He wouldn’t have seen that!» to «Oh yeah maybe he would have» 👌🏼👌🏼
Most helpful chess video I’ve ever watched! Everyone preaches practicing tactics, but you’re the first person to teach how to solve them.
17:35 i came here thinking i was bad at chess but seeing levy making mistakes at the 20th puzzle like me gives me at least some consolation
I think this was one of my most favorite videos. (Also because pausing was fruitful, some kind of add which I usually didn't experience) It felt you were very natural and in a funny mood here. Then to err once and be mad about it made it more attractive to watch, and then the ice on the coffin is to analyze that one game, (and get mad about that golden Bf5 which was indeed godlike) and you even covered what to do if Kh7 which I wondered about (wonderful then I don't have to build it up here).
Levy is so simplistic for his lessons, so that it isn't hard to understand, especially for beginners at chess it's actually easy to learn from gotham chess. Yeah! Levy!!
17:37 when I blunder mate in 1 on my first tournament match in a drawing position

6:15 AHHHH SO DIFFICULT
me in 0.1 seconds: Qxf1, Kxf1, Ra1
More of these please, so helpful
Thanks Levy! Puzzles were one of my biggest challenges, after i watched this my solution rate went up from 2% to 80%
This video is great, I'm suprised I got so many of these right, I've been doin tactics puzzles an hour a day trying to get better 👍
I've been working on my puzzles and haven't been doing very well. Thank you for the video. I'm going to see if I can properly study the puzzles now!
I think I need to improve my eye for what happens on the board.
i like how 'free queen ' was an entire puzzle
While I love doing puzzles, I am quite a slow player. The problem with puzzles is this - if I treated every move like it was a puzzle, I would timeout every game. Of course with practice I get faster, and I try to tell myself, "look for checks, captures, and attacks" before every move, but by move 10, my timer is becoming an issue.
I just did 33 in puzzle rush today, that was my best yet.
13:54 "there is BLOCC"
Thanks for this. Super helpful, dude.
Thanks a lot Levy ....this video helps a lot in my game.
17:37 I’m not sure if it’s correct but if you take the pawn with check, king moves to h8 and you take the pawn on e5 with the queen with check again, king moves to h7 and it’s mate with the queen on g7, I think
Me casually when solving chess puzzles : *Stares at the other king*
Great video thanks for making this!
Mate - watched half of your video, went and did my daily puzzles and got 100%! Thanks
Nice video. It is a lot of fun doing these puzzles with your commentary.
Thanks levy enjoyed a lot
Thank you, Levi. It helps a lot with my chess.
thanks for your video~
Great presentation, perfect speed, very engaging!
Yesssss another puzzles video
"Protecting from escaping" - Levy 2020
Super cool video helped me a lot as usual
I think we need a showmatch: Teran Alvarez vs Levy :)
Really enjoyed this!!
I really like your videos bro, appreciate it !
Love these videos, keep it up
Deflection, queen sacrifice into horse fork, checked forced moves, etc
I love how he always pronounces the names as they would be pronounced in the person's native language, he totally nails it, even though this time it was probably 'Alvarez with an accent on the first syllable
As a mexican I noticed that, it’s cool he puts the effort
29:54 makes Danger Levels sound like a band name.
thank you it was helpful
.
These streams are very useful , hecomes to the level of a beginner and its like we are playing, his streams gives us good results instantly.
I'm 1800 at puzzles, I got only two wrong out of the 30, and i still cannot win a single chess game. Send help.
32:45 is worth making into a GIF 😂😂😂
levy is great GIF material
Very helpful!
Useful. Thought I might have to watch this a few (hundred?) times to really get it all 😅
Can u make a video on nimzo Indian defence . Ur queens Gambit video has helped me a lot I win with it almost everytime.
Ya
good one thank you
15:36
I made sure to pause the video and try to find the solution. I managed to do this one myself!
Well done
Step 1: look at the opponent's king's position
Step 2 : anlyse if it can be checkmate, if not then its either you draw the game or you make your materials equal
Step 3 : count materials if equal
Step 4 : do what IM levy taught in the vid
"What am I, Alexandera Botez?!"
It's very rare that I literally LoL like this
Just a suggestion, maybe also advise them to consider the positions, like is there a backrank, hanging piece, etc.
I really liked the way you teach!
Keep up the good work mate
Takes works because rg7#, also if mh1, qxe5+, kh2 , qg7#
I did not play much chess. I miss some simple moves. I played less than 90 games in my life.around 20 games I played with my relative. These were some of the games which were quite complex. They were not blitz games. I have seen some beautiful strategies and tricks. It is so entertaining and amazing. When we think about some puzzle rigourously we can get lot of new ideas.
This helped out a lot. I only picked up on trying to find a check while playing. After watching this video, I went from 1400 to 1800 in one day.
Great video! I used your tips and increased my puzzle score from 363 to 808 in three days.
You would have increased that much in 3 days anyway. No offense. You should thank him for igniting your love for chess
19 was the first one I messed up on - I saw winning the knight but not the checkmate
thank you levy
i love this channel, i genuinely got better at the game because of levy
Failed puzzle 21 at 17:34 is pawn on g5 takes on h6 which opens the check with the rook on the g file. Then if king to h8, Queen captures the pawn on e5, king h7, Queen g7 mate. If king to h7 after the initial rook check then, rook to g7, king to h8, queen captures the pawn on e5 mate. There may be some bishop block in there depending on the sequence, but it still ends in mate.
Gotham @ 5:35 ... the pawn would just take the knight
Queen a3 checkmate
15:42 is complicated to newer players cuz they might think they can take the rook with bishop with a discovered check to then win the queen but then they forget the white queen can just take your queen.
First one I missed. I actually saw your idea, but then tried to make bf3 for discovered check work, but now i realize that I can still lose my queen. Derp...lol.
33:18 this is still winning for levy as he can just take bishop with rook on g5 because the pawn can’t move or checkmate with queen surely
If you have time in the future could you discuss puzzle impacts to the rating please? When I get a puzzle right I get 4 to 10 points in lichess, but when I get something wrong it subtracts 10 to 20 points. Thus seems to be fairly irrelevant to the complexity of the puzzle but I am a beginner trying to reach 1500 and hovering around 1400 now (for puzzles).
that puzzle at 17:30 is nasty as hell, i spent 30 minutes tryna solve it. and i still am not entirely sure why but i’m pretty sure it’s take the pawn, discovered atta k, king has only one move that doesn’t lead to force mate but get you set up for unstoppable mate pretty sure.
17:47 so new Levi philosophy of playing chess "solve 20 puzzles and 1 wrong and you're terminated" 😄😄😄😄😄 the funniest WHAT!!!??? ever seen 😄😄😄😄😄
I do well at puzzles because I KNOW THEY ARE PUZZLES so I look for things I wouldn't when I'm playing a game, also no time pressure when doing puzzles.
I aspire to be so good at chess that I end up complaining about how bad I am
Great video man
17:36 I cannot believe I solved one that he missed. That definitely makes up for the 3 or so I missed earlier in the video.
Edit: and even the several more I missed afterwards...
Sometimes advanced players look so much for complicated things they completely forget about the obvious ones
I did get the puzzle Levy failed right, because I saw the Qe5 resource, that was not too hard. But the Bg5/Qf5 defence against g6 was insane - if you play this in an on-line game they report you as a computer cheater...
17:35 levy was suggesting pushing the pawn and i was just like "TAKING DOES WORK QUEENS CAN MOVE HORIZONTALLY"
17:26 I’m 2000 in puzzle and I paused and stared at that one for a good minute and felt like an idiot for not seeing the idea, glad levy took the hit for me.
Amazing content as always
If your playing puzzle battles just look for a check and make sure its defended
what a genius 🤯🤯
17:36 : Levy.exe has stopped working
In puzzle 20, you capture then you bring the queen to e5
If I've learned anything from this video: never play Ng5 or it'll be mate in one.
Ng5 is ALWAYS the worst move on the board, mate in 1 no matter the board state
Amazing! I can hardly do 10 puzzles in a rowon chess.com! Very helpful for me!
