“There’s nothing to fear in the Stafford gambit”
-Eric Rosen laughing maniacally in a dark corner-
Underrated comment
man i love that guy, he so relaxed and humble
Mad e it 1k likes
Yy0
yeah, Eric Rosen targets non-aware players by playing nasty traps, just analyze and get the advantage 🤤
I have never noticed you look like Harry Potter. Now I can’t unsee it! Lmao Don’t worry mate. He’s highly respected here in England 😂👍
Lol
Na hes trotski
Actually Yes
Same
My eyes are fucked up now
And it was in this position that Lord Voldemort resigned the game. Why did he resign? Because there was no good move here. If Voldemort goes for Avada Kedavra, Harry has this sneaky move Expelliarmus and the position is completely lost for the death eaters.
^read in levy’s voice
@@swimmerfive6567 Levys? Lurk more...
There was nothing more to be done here.

Why did this make me laugh harder than i probably should have?
Harry Potter and the Venomous Opening
Budget chamber of secrets smh
Harry Potter opening: venomous variation
😂😂😂
"Don't fall for the Queen's Nonsense."
New name for the Wayward Queen Attack
The Queens Nonsense attack 😂
"just dont push the g pawn and youll be fine" attack
The throbbing variation is still the best variation of the scotch
******** variation
Especially the throbbing male rooster version
this one wins
Also known as the Crotch Opening
Uh-
No wonder I’ve been seeing this more often on Lichess. Whenever Levy or Eric release an opening video like this I start to see the opening all the time in online games.
I love watching these videos of yours but I forget all this theory when actually playing.
@Boris Logan do u know what sumanf chopde age is LOL
Practicing before u go.
That's because watching a video is not learning.
Same :V
That's why you need to watch videos like these with a book, pen and a chess board
"There is nothing to fear in the Stafford Gambit" Oh Levy.... I wonder what Eric Rosen would say about that ^^
yesss i love the stafford gambit
They should play where Eric has to play Stafford Gambit
That suggestion is exactly what Eric said was completely losing for white since black plays Bc5 pinning the f2 pawn after castling. Wasn't the best move f3?
@@cameronburnett9679 if I’m not mistaken you can actually survive fine in the suggestion but you have to know all the theory, which most people do not. As someone who plays the Stafford, I do not accept it. I just play on as if it were a scotch. It’s just much easier that way
Oh no my queen
You should do a cosplay of that insane daniel Radcliffe meme but instead of two guns photoshop an advertisement for your opening courses on each hand
Levy, SEE THIS!!!!
HAHA YEAAAAA, THAT SHOULDA BEEN THE THUMBNAIL!!!!
It'll be a picture of levy getting mugged
Assailant has a knife
Levy replies with "Danger levels... okay.. know what's worth more than my wallet? Your life!" And pulls out his 9mm
Looks like potter has started a youtube channel. That will be 5 points from Gryffindor.
Hmmmmm, I can't tell if this is the old hag Umbridge or Snape. But I like Snape so I'll say it was Umbridge ☺️

"there's nothing to fear in the Stafford gambit"
this must be Eric Rosen's paid actor
"Nothing to fear in the Stafford" causes me to shoot nervous glances at Eric Rosen's channel.
Ey HAHAHA
Leon Trotsky playing chess
Glad I wasn’t the only person to see it.
Love this guy. He seems like a normal dude who just happens to be a chess genius. Really appreciate his insights. Great job.
Youre wrong, his ego has gotten the better of him. He has a superiority complex.
"Oh, my opponent is pushing a pawn on the kingside, perhaps preparing an attack. Let me just push a pawn on my queenside in response."
Oh look, Harry Potter is playing chess :p
Levy is a time traveler. Change my mind
I've been playing the Scotch from 400 up to 1100, and you're absolutely correct about ...NF6. I would say probably 70% of the time I see Nf6, 25% of the time I see Nxd4, and like 5% of the time I see Bc5.
Levy: There's nothing to fear in the Stafford
Eric: Am I a joke to you?
Great tutorial! I love the Scotch opening as white and I realize now that I've been playing it wrong all along. I'm going to research this opening further and learn all the lines. Thanks!
People tell me I look homeless.
Huh? LOL so random
Oof
forsenE
Lmao I just lost it 😭🤣😂
lol i get the joke
15:05
Gotham: Don't take because u get checkmated
xQc: horsey go brrrr
Great vid. And yeah I always go for the early Queen x Queen after the double d-e pawn exchange...I don't use the queen much and some do, so removing their ability to castle and their queen is nearly always worth it in my opinion...best is do it with the Blackmar Diemer variation in my (limited) experience. Will try the Scotch if I get the opportunity.
Congrats Levy, glad 4 your grow. And thak u 4 the lesson. I play the scotch all the time.
Can you make a video on grand prix attack? Would highly appreciate it.
No ADS. THANKS LEVY!!
Consolidation is something I understand the basic idea of but don't know when and how to do it correctly, it's one of those chess concepts I first heard on your stream that I want to get better at, definitely recommend a video on it, that and rerouting pieces
I play Bc5 against scotch because I fell into a lot of scotch traps and lost many games so I decided to look up the scotch game on agadmator's channel and saw caruana and carlsen playing scotch. That game's analysis helped me learn that GM's reply to scotch is Bc5 and I've been playing it ever since to avoid any opening disasters.
Brown hair + round glasses + skinny body frame = Harry Potter
Hey Levy, thanks for your dedication too the channel and all the hard work you putting into the videos, as a terrible chess player, this helps me out a lot. Thanks man, keep it up!
Had similar positions against Nelson on chess.com but was unable to play them properly. Thanks for some great tips.
Must say my game has improved dramatically since finding your channel.
I mean, I’m a novice beginner. Less than 2 months ago I went from knowing just how the pieces move to a couple of openings and my first draw because I couldn’t close my advantage...
And now, after following your advice about improving, my rating is only 399 on chess.com but I’ve managed to win 3 games in a row since following you.
In less than 2 weeks I’ve gone from losing every game with the odd draw, to finding checkmate regularly and being able to win even when down on material.
I only have bad games when I don’t follow your advice and overplay...
Hung everything today and still got a draw when my opponent was +25.
Thanks for your channel and all the free gold.
Love u Levy! thanks for ur some kind of opening theory!!
It is insane coz you post opening videos
There's nothing better for New Year's Eve than a nice Scotch opening 😉
That bishop e2 play was gnarly
Over the last month since I found u I can’t describe how much u have helped my game! I never really saw/thought that u looked like Harry Potter before now but I can see it but not in like a bad way 😄💜
I really liked the bishop move to e2! When I used to play against chessmaster, the IA attacked me that way, and beat me. Now I'm improving a lot thanks to these vídeos, thank you so much!
Awesome video dude, I made a flow chart of the entire opening, I'm gonna practice this and see if I can commit it to memory pretty soon. It'll be my first opening to learn and hopefully, I get to utilize it against my brother soon!
So how did it go?
@@tilakmehrotra Good point. I can't believe people are still watching this though.
@@blaze8817 Of course
Of course
"Don't fall for the queens nonsense " i second that
I think the show the Queen’s gambit is doing a lot of good for the chess world. A lot of people are trying chess or coming back to it because of it and it would also explain what you said at the end of your video, I myself are one of those and i discovered your channel after watching it.
Now we're playing Wizard’s Chess
When people say you look like Harry Potter, defy expectation and dress like Hagrid
I think I found the best way for me (beginner) to watch your videos, especially the 10 minute opening videos. I set the playback speed to 75%, pause from time to time and analyse in a second window. It's perfect, you don't need to do 1 hour videos and I get a full hour of learning material 🤓👍. Thank you.
I actually think of you as the Chess World’s Doctor Mike
Very beautiful teaching, feels like I’m in an opera
This video has been very handy, I don't play the scotch but I've seen it a lot playing as black.
I had a lot of fun playing this brilliant video
There’s a guy at my local chess club who plays the Potter Variation. In my experience playing him, the resulting games tend to be pretty even, although I haven’t seen the f4 line Levy suggested. I used to play a delayed version of the Qh5 line when I was first learning to play. 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 exd4 4. Nxd4 Bc5 5. Nxc6 Qh5 and black has similar ideas to those described in the video, with the caveat that the dark square bishop often lends a hand. It’s not good for black, but the plans are very natural.
Ooook Harry Potter saying that he looks like Daniel Radcilife wierd
What i love about those videos is that after 5 minutes into the "game", i have forgotten the opening moves! 😄
Thanks for the pgn. They help just as much as these videos.
Didnt know this was the potter variation but i love it when white plays it. I take the pawn and bring the queen out. I usually crush my opponent but am only 1650 rapid on lichess
The Scotch was quite a favourite of Dr Tartakover. He had rather an interesting win with it against Rubinstein.
You're a Wizard Levy! Put your hand in the sorting head and grab a pawn to choose the color you play!
Opening*, to choose the opening. :)
thAnk you for all your help. I started playing last week and went from 500 to around 750. Today i juste played a game against a player ranked 850 and won without losing a single piece in a 21 moves game! can't wait to see more of your stuff!
Love your work! Learned a bunch. Many thanks! -E
"That's Barbaric!"
"That's Wizard's Chess!"
Oh my, flashbacks from Nepo’s games come to mind with his insane rook swings.
which game was it? sorry, I'm a bit late
@@casyio6670 Cannot pinpoint for sure, because he does this a lot, but if you watch Gotham videos from here on out, you can definitely find some examples. There was this one game, where the theory goes as such, white plays e4 and it is very chaotic, then white plays c4, but black pins the pawn with the Ba6. Then, Nepo swings his h pawn all the way to h6, and reroutes it via h3, to the center of the board.
@@nklp6232 thank you!
13:34 trappy line to the anti trappy line is nf6! I ve beaten several fm with this its just gooooood !
a trap in a trap in a trap.
Hey have you made a video on the Fianchetto? I'd be interested in watching that for sure.
Just for the record, Daniel Radcliffe looks like you, not the other way lol
Levy: This is like taking someone who thinks they're trapping you and trapping them right back
Me, a memer: call the ambulance....... But not for me
Oh how the turn tables
The how oh tables turn
I keep watching these videos and thinking I know how to play chess, it's fun while it lasts. Thanks for the dope content!
Nice variation. Perhaps i go BACK too scotish opening some times. Some body once teached me the mieses variation... Trying to play This can lead into mieses. Good video again!! Thanks
Before i even looked into openings I started playing the scotch I had no clue it was a good opening
For any MMA or Jiu Jitsu fans here Levy speaks and explains things the exact same way as Firas Zahabi which is a very good thing. Thank you Levy for teaching us in such a clear manner
Just watched So vs Duda match in speed chess championship, with Hess and Naroditsky commenting. Gotta say these 'smackdown' games during breaks, of you vs Hammer + trash talk were soooo damn hillarious :D. Omg you bullied this GM in some games :p
Always loved chess as a Child. Hadn't played in 9 years but came back after queensgambit. The videos have helped a ton
Wow, you look like Scarlet Johansen!
(you don't, but I bet I'm the first person to ever tell you that)
2:20 Black can still castle by taking the queen with the knight.
but if you take with the knight you lose the e pawn, I don't think it's worth to maintain the right to castle for the cost of a central pawn in the opening, but maybe I'm wrong
You’re missing a lightning scar for the HP look!great video :-) thanks!
Woundeful video!!! Thank you very much.
My girlfriend said "He looks like Daniel Ratcliffe... the made in China model"...
Great variation, thanks for the lesson Levy. We'll see how it works out for me.
YEAH AND ALSO THANK SAMAY RAINA , BECAUSE OF HIM I CAME TO YOUR CHANNEL , AND THE EFFORT HE HAS TAKEN FOR IMPROVEMNET OF CHESS IS LEGIT
The Potter Variation is named after the English writer William Norwood Potter (27 Aug 1840 -- 13 Mar 1895). (I didn't previously know that an opening-variation had been named after him.) The Potter Variation 5 Nb3 is worse for White. Potter was the subject of the obituary G E Barbier published, which included part of a game Fenton--Potter out of whose ending Barbier made a study which Rev. Francisco Saavedra famously cooked. (There seems to be some doubt as to which game it actually was, but that's another matter.)
You explain really well!
Oh look, Harry Potter is playing chess
I'm a 22 year old man (birthday today Nov 20th) and the only person I look like is the former Finnish president Tarja Halonen
ei vittu
Happy birthday!
Ha ha ha! You and Conan O'Brien! HBD!
Can you go over why black has to respond with E5? Why is that there one best move? Might be a cool video idea about how the other moves aren't as good for black?
Mr.gotham chess can you please make a 10 min opening video of ponzeoni opening which helps us alot in playing we need about the theory and some cool tricks
UA-cam showed me a Gotham-Potter-chess Crossover... Great my day is ruined
Shave his hair and he's VSauce. Change my mind.
Kelvin or micheal 🤣🤣
I know its micheal
Yea,i dont know how to spell lol
Im currently 17 i began playing this opening back when i was 15. I had good results with it, but here's the funny thing i actually began playing this without ever learning it
'rami malek from Mr Robot'
beautiful... thankyou levy
ALL OF my friends and family tell me that I look like Jesus Christ after having a shower, because I shave my facial hair rarely and have that exact length and type of hair. Mainly because of times I look down to eat or read but also because of people calling me the BIg J himself, I prefer to tie my hair as a ponytail and only let them loose when I'm headbanging.
Regardless, I just played a few fellow 1100s who knew the variations of the Vienna gambit you have described, so we shared a moment avoiding each other's traps. So, I wouldn't often attack as black as shown at the end. Yes, people watch your videos and you've been a great inspiration to many, at least at the levels I've been in and can talk about
This could be my main driver. May levy's power be within me.
I would be so lucky to get pinned here. This will be the happiest pin against me.
Were you pinned and then it got unpinned when you edited the comment?
@@PandaFan2443 nope. i asked levy to pin my comment.
Great content recently Levy!
Great vidéo 🎉
Since, we’re talking about you’re resemblance to Harry Potter why don’t we talk about that hairline...
" this is a hate comment "
so pls pin this ✌✌✌
Yes, you do look like Radcliffe. (said this to someone as soon as I saw your videos come up in my suggestions) but personality and manner is different otherwise. You come across fairly confident and quick. This was also a very interesting strategy overview of kings pawn Scotch variation. I am currently a fan of the Vienna and Stafford as black or King's bishop, less common strategy. Thanks for your videos. I got a wood cut board for Christmas and I'm playing a lot more right now. My grandfather was a master player but yah, recent film also had an effect in resurrecting my interest in the game. I get John Malchovich, unfortuantely or not.
thank you levy, very cool!
As a beginner, I often see bishop c5 over knight f6.
Nice video as always. I have only 1 question. How do you create games like this where you can control all the board and make moves? I want to practice by myself.
Thanks.
Ive never considered that you look like Harry Potter before, but now I cant unsee it
Hi, I'm new to chess. What do you do when you open e4 and black plays Kc6? I stick to Kf3 but I want to understand how to play reactive to unusual openings from black. Thank you!
Can you make a series on how to improve your chess game for different rating players.. like I am a 1200 rated player so should I do puzzels, or openings or middlegame tactics? or more of analysis? and what to do.. when I get 1300 or 1400 and so on..
Believe or not, Levy was the stuntman for Daniel
In u12 greek championship , in the last roun i played the potter variation and after Nc3 , my oponent forgot that the Bishop aws hanging and he just reasigned on move 6
16:48 anyone have any ideas whats happening to this mans eyes? Lack of sleep? Theyre tired like my soul
