      That's true! I also want to thank Levy for those great lessons of chess, last week, I went to a tournament in my city, just to have some fun, and surprisingly I finish first without a lose. I beat stronger players that in my dreams I could think I'd beat, because I found great moves and ideas inspired by this great channel. I have had a great time watching and learning, and having fun!

    I doubt you'll ever read this but this series has been the MOST helpful outside of your openings and strategy overviews. I've gone from 800 elo to 1200-1300 in the span of a monthish just from really buckling down and focusing. I'm also verbalizing similar to how you do which REALLY helps me to think out my positions. I'm 35 and I doubt I'll ever be able to reach GM level, or even IM level now, but I do want to compete in my first tournament in the next year or so.

    At around 2:05. This a cool line that Eric Rosen showed. White to move. Qa4 black does Bd6 then white responds with Ba6. It is totally winning for white.

    Levy is literally just wholesome yet savage Harry Potter but good in chess instead of decent in magic

    In all seriousness, Levi playing inaccurate moves in order to show how to play positions that I would fall into in games is great for me because I get to learn how to play pawn up endgames and even positions. Thank you Levi!
