Its crazy how levys chat always seems to find the worst possible move
One wonders how UA-cam lost to twitch in sub battle. Handily too.
And yet somehow manages to win vs the youtube chat =/. My guess? stream chat has to bust a move right here and then. UA-cam chat can pause and think for awhile!
@@dragonbane44 true but that was some epic af content(btw I watch both)
I mean, to be fair you can’t see the chat. It could have been 100 people commenting the best move and then one person said something dumb and he called it out.
It’s a rare and glorious talent.
As a Russian I always thought his accent was superb, until today I was blown away by the fact that he actually speaks it

Точно!

Same with Spanish, i had no clue he could actually speak some Spanish.
1:24:17 what a respectful resign! He definitely respects his opponent and doesn't go for a flag which I think was possible, genuinely. What a game!
Levy would not approve: "The clock is a piece"

Levi loudly speaking in Spanish is the most hilarious thing I have seen today.
And him switching from Spaniard Spanish to New York Spanish is killing me. Lmao
Truly beautiful 😢

At 41:59 Levy hilariously describes chess at 6-700. At 4-500, aka my beloved home, it's fucking insanity.
Your self awareness will surely help you improve 🙏🏽
Honestly I kinda miss it in a way. I'm 950 now and in the opening at 950 you never know whether your opponent is going to just play utterly ridiculous moves or like 8 moves of pure theory, and honestly I'm not sure which is more dangerous. At least at 500 you can rely on the games being consistently ridiculous.
When you are so early that the number of minutes is equal to your elo
I have an Elo of 29 yes
How would being late affect that fact
@@user-xw9lt1em3m Don't judge his Elo is like 58
@@DanksterPaws hey my boy dank
How does this have anything to do with being early
When you binge watch the how to win at chess series: “My brain is flowing with knowledge.”
try Daniel Narorditsky's speedrun, very instructive
Until you play yourself. For me at least.
“Im doing 1000 calculations per second and they're all wrong “
Binge watching again myself
That's exactly how I feel! ❤️
This is less of a chess video and more of Levy flexing how many languages he speaks XD
I challenge him to speak proper Polish while playing Polish opening :)
lol
Really ? He did that less than a minute and he played 7 games in this video using various openings and explaining reasons behind each moves. And you still think otherwise. How ungrateful can one be *smh*
That Bane impression was freaking on point. 1:02:07
I feel like most of us aren’t even above 1500
Edit: I got likes
Yes ur right
I'm pretty sure being above 1200 makes you in like the top 70th percentile of chess players or something crazy like that
@@callummcarthur199 that sounds wrong since most high School teams are 1200 or higher

@@Gleepglurp I donno the most online games with ranking system like LoL or CSGO have a really low Average skill group.Everyone on Gold+ is above average and Gold player are not that good.

Yup I swear this was one of the most fun streams I've seen from him 😂
“i don’t want to trade queens because that’s how you lose a queen”
heard it here first folks at gotham chess
That Zugzwang tho in the Danish Gambit game was killer! Props to Schberg. I hear Northernlion say this a lot but, 1500 ELOs really are built different.
Levy should make a video about how to avoid tunnel visions

Levy sent it an ancient Sicilian message...
Your Spanish accent is sooo good. Greetings from the south of Spain! Me has enseñado una barbaridad de ajedrez, muchísimas gracias Levy!
Glad to see Chess Content Creators getting sponsors. Get that $$$ bag Levyy.
levy: u could remove ads
also levy: i probably shouldn't have told u that
As a Catalan I must say that you were not even close to the Catalan accent, but that "CON UN TENEDORRRRR" just got me LOL
proposta: canviar l'accent català per parlar amb la cece a partir d'ara
@@CarlotaBorrell15 Jo ja ho feia jajaja
Glad im not the only catalan here
Whats better than waking up?
Waking up to a Gotham video
It’s 11 pm I’m about to go to sleep
not waking up
Ah yes waking up to internet
As a catalan person, that part where you were trying to speak with a catalan accent was hilarious, so wrong, but still hilarious. For an amercian you speak a ton of languages though! Due to my grandma being german i speak 3 native languages (spanish, catalan and german). Plus I speak english and russian it would be nice if you made a video explaining where you learned spanish and russian. Do you speak hebrew too?
How does the Catalan accent sound like? To me every Spanish language sounds like Spanish XD
@@bykegetter478well it is really hard to explain, in Spanish there's only five vowel sounds and in Catalan there's like 7 or 8 so it already makes it sound very different... Though they are both written pretty similar like many other romance languages they just don't sound the same. When Catalans with a really strong accent speak Spanish we kinda sound like we are having a hard time even though we are native speakers, but it's hard to describe...
I think his family comes from Russia, that's why he speaks russian.

In cooking, a sauce is a liquid, cream, or semi-solid food, served on or used in preparing other foods. Most sauces are not normally consumed by themselves; they add flavor, moisture, and visual appeal to a dish. Sauce is a French word taken from the Latin salsa, meaning salted. Possibly the oldest recorded European sauce is garum, the fish sauce used by the Ancient Romans; while doubanjiang, the Chinese soy bean paste is mentioned in Rites of Zhou in the 3rd century BC.
Samosas accompanied by four sauces

Sauces need a liquid component. Sauces are an essential element in cuisines all over the world.
Sauces may be used for sweet or savory dishes. They may be prepared and served cold, like mayonnaise, prepared cold but served lukewarm like pesto, cooked and served warm like bechamel or cooked and served cold like apple sauce. They may be freshly prepared by the cook, especially in restaurants, but today many sauces are sold premade and packaged like Worcestershire sauce, HP Sauce, soy sauce or ketchup. Sauces for salad are called salad dressing. Sauces made by deglazing a pan are called pan sauces.

I can't wait until he uploads the How to draw at chess episode 8 video . Love this series.

Your Spanish is on point! Even if you mixed the accent. Points for being able to speak a different language + add an accent to it. Genuinely impressed.
I love hearing an IM nonchalantly call a knight a horsey 😂
Three colours of hoodie in one video! Levy must really be getting the bag
I'll do a companion series: How to lose at chess.
About learning Catalan at 600-700 range, I tried that. Basically what happens is you let something through early because you don't know how to keep the position solid after you're out of the opening five or so moves, opponent gets a knight in or a queen, trashes that entire side of the board before you can manage to evict it somehow. Usually it's a knight. Knight invasions were my least favorite thing to deal with at that level. Especially so with short time control as the catalan can produce positions in unskilled hands that open the door for a knight to repeatedly check you, no mate threat just check after annoying check, running down your clock.

Thank you so much levy, my rating was stagnant for a long time but I just hit 1100 you have helped me a lot ✌️ love from India
Please make a video on how you should play when you are material down or how to coordinate your pieces.
1:00:28 is the greatest philosophical quote of this century
Schberg representing us 1500s really well! great to see : )
There were like 3 hoodies in this vid. Levy's hoodieverse is expanding at unprecedented rate
This is hands down one of the most instructive chess videos I have ever seen. Kudos to you man
i just wanted to say i really appreciate the youtube uploads. i dont have time to watch twitch, but i like being able to see your content. its been very helpful. please keep it up! and thank you!
Hi Levy, been a great fan of your content for the past month. You've helped improve my chesd by miles!

Best advice in this video is when Gotham recommends watching cute dog videos when you're angry.

When he started talking Russian, it was so funny 😂 😂 😂
thank you for making these videos. i enjoy chess but i'm alone a whole lot and your personality and videos help me feel not so alone. sometimes i'll put on one of your videos on low volume to go to sleep to. i'll be okay i just want you to know that your videos are appreciated.

Levy in spanish is one of the most amazing things that I've seen today, funny asf
the catalan game was so much instructive and entertaining! Dude you’re my favourite.❤️❤️❤️❤️
"I had to turn on my inner comrade" Lol
Gotham chess love from Korea. I would love to play chess with you if I could
Anyong. Love from Germany. 🐯
Try, to teach him some BADUK, too.
👍🙋
Great point about what you can learn from your own blunders, your "place on Earth when it comes to chess", and even greater point about "what people conceptualize about reality."
As both an Spanish and Catalan I find extremely amusing Levy speaking Spanish, I just hope he does this every time he plays the Catalan. I mean it's not offensive at all, here in Spain we try not to take things very seriously even though some rads make shit tense.
What low elo players are actually doing wrong :- Memorizing openings without learning it the hard way
Impeccable hairline
finally, i briefly saw him filming this on twitch a few days ago and i have been waiting for this to be uploaded
I needed this video. I don't get to play many endgames and that's were I feel I struggle the most... Thanks Levy!
Me, 1400, first chess lesson: "I don't like to trade queens."
When he whipped out the Russian, I deadass was sitting here with an open mouth
I had 3 games played at a 99.7 accuracy and I didn't cheat. Each one was fewer than 11 moves and was won with the Fried Liver attack. I did have one game played at 98.7 with 16 moves, though.
The second to last game was really exciting. That 1500 played really well
“At 6/7 hundred, it’s like a drunk bar fight “ the level of truth in this is amazing ♟
♟
You sound very badass when you speak Russian. А ну, чики брики и в дамке!
Best informative games in quite awhile. Well done Levy!
You say it's not the point to watch because you're good, but I watch because you're good homey, so fun to watch thank you.
Last time I was this early,TAL still had his queen on the board.
“Don’t fall behind on time”
On my level (
because you can pretty much premove to mate with queen + king vs king. (Not exactly premove... but easily .2 to .4 sec per move which is plenty :)
@@MyNemesisIX Especially against an IM
@@gamerdio2503 I guess so but really im 1600 and i still can move that fast if its queen + king vs king.
Thanks for the instructive videos Levy, and also for the recaps.
This is such a fantastic series. Thank you!
I was astonished when you started speaking Russian.
I had a dream that you defeated agadmator!
I'll respond to Levy's comment at 44:37 or so: I always slow down the speed to 75. Then he sounds more "Russian" which is so much more "chessy" for me who is in awe of the mystique of the Russian chess masters of the past (and present). This impulse to fantasy and imagination is important to me in my chess ascension to a higher level. I'm heading there slowly but surely and (for those who follow these games in this series) be aware that I intend to play Levy in this format someday and WIN or at least DRAW. It's good to have the desire for a goal like this and is a great tool for me to keep studying with this particular goal always in mind. This is a measure (nim noga) of my respect for his teaching abilities.
I’m a little new to chess. And want to thank you for getting me through my last deployment I would watch you play from my friends laptop it definitely help distract me from the real world for a bit.
I just wanna get drunk with Levy and play chess in Spanglish.
Catalan is an own language, and it's not spanish with another accent.
Yeah but catalans also speak spanish and I think that's what Levy tried to imitate. Catalan's accent when speaking spanish.
hey Levy your videos are very instructive and fun, I love watching them while I rest, thanks for being this cool and dedicated guy
Levy is a nice teacher, He not only teaches chess, he says some of the things to be followed in life.
