My weakness in my games is my brain
My weakness in my brain is my games
@@TuequoiseQueso xD
Yea, when I win more than 50% of my games during 'session' on chess.com (10 minute games), my concentration is ok, but when on losing streak, with every lost game I gradually lose my calm and tend to do more blunders :p
Then remove it
My weakness is my brain. xD
My Weakness: I go for the scholars mate, if you notice, I resign.
Me
still the same?
J Guo nah
Lmao.
I say nah to the scholar mate, ez to counter
Hikaru: *reads title*
Hikaru: yes Levy is weak indeed
More like:
Yeah okey yeah i mean yeah he is weak yeah, okey chat
@@panda4247 I read that in his voice
Hikaru: reads title
Hikaru: GG YO
@@panda4247 totally nailed it
my weakness is that some bastard bishop comes out of nowhere and ruins my plans
Rapidly becoming my favorite chess channel, 10 minutes at a time.
Check agadmator hes also not bad
@@laimantaslaimantas4618 He's great but Levy teaches us in a simple manner which even a beginner can understand.
@@aaliyan22that's right 👍
Biggest weakness: Blunder
I am almost always in the better position but then I just blunder a piece and everything collapses
Same, or I just don't find a plan and end up trading down, either player blunders a piece and that's the game
I can get a good postion at times and I don't blunder a piece or I can have a bad start and panic and then blunder
Idk how but according to analyses I am ok at exploiting blunders
relatable
Couldn't be more right,or I have no bloody idea what to do,then blunder,then tata for me
This man has raised my elo from being hardstuck 1400 to 1600
@Mekal Covic Hey we all start from somewhere my man/woman. Keep trying!
Wholesome
how lopng u been playing chess? at the time of your comment
@@HasifShaikh A guy who includes "man/women" when gender unknown.. You truly are Cultured
@@rexknowsless3187 Hey! I learned to play chess when I was 4 years old and I played semi-competitively in tournaments until 8th grade. However, after like a 4 year hiatus I picked it up during quarantine after my senior year of high school and have been playing at least 2 rapid games a day since
Hi levy, big fan, I won a tournament because of your opening lessons, thank u!
Congratulations on your victory my dude :)
Thank u
rating and was it the courses?
Congratulations
No courses
My biggest weakness is that I didn't watch GothamChess videos for the first 18 years of my chess career.
This content is AMAZING! I cannot stress enough how well you are explaining situations and I love your style and clarity. Keep up the good work!
You sir, Levy, are an amazing teacher. You admit and acknowledge your losses and learn from your mistakes. But it's one thing to look back in hindsight and learn.... it's another thing to be brave enough to show your fans one of the worst games you've had. You either take losses very professionally (read: not personally) or you hide it well. Whichever, it helps you focus on teaching us, and it doesn't distract us from the lesson at hand. I've learned a lot from you.
...I'm finally rank 600. 😅😛
congrats!
Good Luck for your next games 😃🙂👍👍.
What is ur elo now?
@@TheDUDE-tp7uq In games less than 5m, I'm ranked 800, climbing slowly. In 10 mins, I'm ranked 1000? Been up to 1100 but fell down after not practicing for a bit.
My weakness is getting better😂😂😂😂
When I asked some people "How do I study my own games?" The answers were so simple and not helpful, but with this I feel like now I can understand more about my mistakes and learn from them. Thanks, levy.
Same here.
They just say to analyse and play what computer says.
Can you please create a playlist for this "Chess Tips" series?
note: this was filmed during a 2 am twitch stream
Alternate title: how to win pawns in middle game without trading
Target consciousness of weaknesses helped me improve so much, especially for positional chess improvement.
These lessons have really been helping me in my games. I hope you keep them coming.
Levy this is great. Each of the types of weaknesses needs its own video. Knight outposts, isolated pawns, backward pawn, color scheme weakness, knight vs bishop or bishop pair.
Graat video Levy and very educational as always!!! I love the last example and I look forward to video on pawn breaks!!! Thank you!!!
You have my respect. You use examples from your losses.
You are more interested in teaching than feeding an ego. I subscribed.
Great video, sharpening the eye to spot weaknesses. Looking forward to pawn play. Thank you!
That was extremely helpful... as somewhat of a beginner in chess, it's kind of hard to understand positional play. When I watch high-level games (there are many titled players just running around on websites that you can spectate literally whenever you want), I find myself not really understanding the logic behind most moves unless there's some very clear tactic involved and there doesn't seem to be that much documentation on things like this. Quite a lot more suddenly made much more sense after watching this, so many thanks to GothamChess!
You're such a good teacher. Thank you.
Man, your channel is awesome! Great content, superb explanation. Im learning so much! Keep up w the great work! This Chess Tip series is opening my mind.
Very grateful for the numerous examples. I think the most helpful thing in chess tip videos is demonstrations of how to put knowledge into practice. Thanks Levy!
Wow! I've seen a lot of chess tips videos but this one was actually great! I never thought that colour scheme weakness was a thing. Thanks a lot!
You're explanations are very easy to understand. Thank you
I got the test wrong... until he showed my idea and said “but this is a really cool idea...”
I love the way you explained mistakes clearly without attacking the person making them. Especially on the games against subscribers. Definitely Subbed :)
That was so instructive! Thank you very much! 👍
Hey man I love what you are doing and it’s rly informative, thanks!
This is wonderful. Finally an introduction on how to approach the middle game. The concept of thinking in weaknesses should be helpful! Thanks for the video
This was a great video. Some weaknesses are very hard To spot. The way that your opponent best you by seeing that you couldn't defence your central pawns was crazy.
Thank you so much Levy. These lessons are a huge support for a beginner like me. You're the best.
In the example against GM Bruzon (8:07) if Nxe4 to open up the bishop on g7, rather than dxe4, White can trade queens while winning a pawn via Qxd5+ because after the Night retakes on d5 it hits the forking c7 square. There are also no other tricks with the g7 bishop. At first, I was not sure about this variation, thus I share it here.
In the last example, after a minute or so, I identified both of the ideas he eventually discusses. My problem is in such situations I sometimes do not have the confidence to go with it (e.g. trading the bishop for the knight while opening the g-file for his rook is not an easy trade-off to assess for me), or take too long time to decide between options. When I see masters discuss positions, most of the time I absolutely get it, but in my own games trusting my evaluation is not easy since I am only 1900 or so. Still way too many oversights.
Very instructive and useful.Thanks a lot dear.
Wow, These Chess tips are helping me A LOT! Thank you!!!
Great video. I want more like this that helps us think about how to create and spot tactics that aren't super obvious. Thanks
Your channel is great. Please keep up the work! It really helps
Awesome video, color square weaknesses are the weakest part of my game right now, I struggle finding them. This was really helpful
Yo thx for those videos man. They help me alot
Another great video!! You are really good at transferring information
A very good lesson, crystal clear, direct to the point and not boring. Not just like other teachers here in YT they are just showing the game without giving the idea and they are just showing off that they are titled.
What a great video, teaching simple concepts to improve our play. Thanks!
Well-described tips. Interesting to see the examples from your game against GM Lazaro Bruzon; I had the opportunity to play against him recently as a part of a simultaneous exhibition he held. For a while I held my own, but then I blundered a rook and he easily outclassed me; I was proud to last 30 moves.
I never thought of this type of weaknesses...It opened up my mind...Thank you bro❤️
Good lesson. Thanks mate 😊
Excellent instruction, very enjoyable, thanjs.
Love these 10 min vids, super helpful.
Really would like to see a more in depth video in opening systems, longer videos are totally fine.
last two examples where good the gm played beautifully thanks lavi please do more minute and cover more advanced topics good luck.
Thank you so much for the great lessons
keep making more of these!
Not recognizing and playing toward my opponents weaknesses is a weakness of mine
Same. I've paused the video on Levy's first example and have no idea of the answer...still looking...
Marvellous! More from YOU!! Very insightful, although truly you are way ahead of me.
Wow. I just subscribed because of this video. Most chess teaching online is like move here and here because this here will want to move here so you're going to deny that. And I'm like..I get it...but I don't understand the whole picture. You totally helped me understand the board and position a lot better
Best chess UA-camr/streamer out there
agadmator has entered the chat.
Zero yuuuup, none can defeat the water sipping king
Hello everyone
@@Zero-ef4sc agad and his audience is cringe. Levy is far far better Teacher and a chess youtuber
@@oldgods914
"agad and his audience is cringe" agad himself isn't and only a small minority of his audience is. You look at Levy's audience, you can see the same number of cringy scrubs.
"Levy is a far better teacher"
Maybe you think that because agad has rarely ever made an instructional video that is specifically for teaching a concept, or because he is the worse player, so he has less lessons to teach?
"and chess youtuber" factually incorrect. 700k vs 26k subs. And I can guarantee you that if both channels started out around the same time, agad would still have more subs. Levy is better for higher rated players, agad is better for normal players which is the majority of chess fans. And in the real world, the one who appeals to the majority wins in the end.
Thanks for this very cool chess tips!👍
@GothamChess Thank you for the series, it is indeed very helpful. Could you also make a video on attacking a castled king? A section on attacking a King's Fianchetto would be especially useful for me.
Bf3 was super cool ! i wish i had that kind of vision.
3:17 i think you mean your knight was attacking opponent's queen so your opponent took it by bishop.
you should make a series with this
Last position you showed, I thought a better way of getting at the advanced white pawns was trading the knight on f3 (removing the defender) and then playing c5. Stockfish seems to approve of that method too
Thanks Levy. Brilliant video. I never really think like that when I'm playing, which explains a few things.
I always wanted a content like this. Concepts simplified without focus on numbers much C5, B5, F4...
Ty for all the content
Awesome video, thanks a lot :)
Great video, keep up the good work!
Thank you, very instructive video
Great videos, thanks for posting 👍🏽
Keep making these type of videos
do you go deeper on any of these concepts from this playlist
on youtube?
best chess channel thank you Levy
The best Chess tutorial ever, you are doing a great job Levy.. Big fan of yours...
thank you so much for the enlightenment, Levy!
Beautiful concept! Just changed the way I view the middle game. Fear me! Thanks Levy!
3:44 that was awesome Levy 😂😂❤
Thanks your videos are really beneficial
Great video, I learned a lot!
You are a brilliant teacher of chess. Enthusiastic and logical. The weaknesses lessen is so important and seldom brought up by other chess teachers. Thanks. PS I am a subscriber to chess.com. Does that make me a "subscriber." Wayne from CT
11:27 guys it's, it's the wooden shield
it help's me a lot, thanks
Levy I will subscribe after this one. Not only because you mentioned over 60% of UA-cam watchers aren’t subscribed, but the content is great! Keep it up
Wild how much Levy has improved at explanations in just the last 9 months. Great video, as usual.
I love that you show your losses you’re a cool dude
I paused the video and found d takes and castles long! Nice video Levy keep em coming.
Thank you !
My biggest weakness is probably endgames and maybe also openings that I haven’t studied and aren’t part of my repertoire. I have a fairly limited repertoire. I love your videos Levy thanks for explaining stuff in such depth and making such quality chess education videos. They’re very entertaining and interesting
EXTREMELY helpful video, wish I found this sooner
Loved the video. Weaknesses in chess are hard to understand, but you explained beautifully with those examples.
Tysm, great video
My first thought was to push c5 right away in that last position
My weakness is fail to understand the opponent's tactics against me for defending
A truly excellent video. thanks.
Thanks for this tips
It's kind of hard to know when to pause and solve. Love the content.
thank you!
Best chess channel on youtube period. Let's get him to 1M guys!
honestly some of the best chess content on youtube
Hi levy, can you give us tips from the endgame? That would be helpful, even if not in 10 minutes :)
