"How to use pawns"
Step 1: move them forward
Step 2: hope they do something
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
🐎🤝🐎 my man
Step 3: don’t take a pawn trade offered by opponent. Even if you don’t know why, you can both be as clueless as eachother

“One pawn can change the game”

Pawns in middle games:
I'm weak
Pawns in endgames:
*UNLIMITED POWER*
opponent:got 2 pieces in an endgame
me:got 2 pawns and hoping to win
I like to view endgame and non-endgame pawns as different pieces. In the endgame they have individual power, since all of them could become a game ending piece, and in the rest of the game they're strong as a collective, acting as a single 8 point piece. In the endgame you protect the pawns, before that the pawns protect you

"I'm keeping the tension here. It's not good to keep the tension in the headache, or with your loved ones, or with your friends. But in this case, it's not so bad." Levy, I think you have something the GMs don't. You understand our perception of chess, and instead of teaching us HOW to play, you're teaching us how to THINK. If only schools understood the value of this method.
The educational system is designed deliberately to pump out easily complacent members of society lacking in critical thinking skills

Because the pawns are not that important when the games are decided by who blunders more pieces (or who blunders mate in 1 or a queen)
@GD Magic Gaming I dont do that! I am solid 420
Love watching but I totally struggle in keeping up!!! Hopefully I'll get better!!
@@williamspangler9690 I frequently pause the video to keep up. When I feel like I'm not attentive, I say out loud the positions of the pieces.
That is sooo true! While watching Levy's videos every move he makes just seems so obvious. As if Id make the same move. But then I play a game and 10 moves into It I've got 3 hanging pieces, down 2 pieces, and haven't castled yet. Then repeat...
I remember a grand master once said: "You can move any piece forward and then back, but not pawns. So always think twice about pawn moves"
Chess player for 37 years here; I just like to watch your channel, regardless of topic.
...
I think it might be important to clarify WHY a passed pawn is so strong, since some newer players will not already see the reason. The usual method of stopping a pawn is to trade another pawn for it. Because a pawn is worth less than even a weaker piece (knight/bishop), an opponent doesn't want to trade something other than one of their pawns for your passed pawn -- because were they to do that, you could just start trading evenly piece for piece and easily win. If you can protect the pawn and march it down the board, the opponent will struggle to keep it from promoting. You cannot always force the opponent to trade a piece for your passed pawn in order to stop you from promoting -- however, the passed pawn is like being armed with a weapon that you can at any time choose to use. Every time you want, you can work to move the pawn further. Your opponent must keep the threat in mind all game long, once you have that passed pawn. It is a lot like forcing a person to run with one foot tied to their elbow. And it really, really feels like it.

I'll second this - he's just an all round lovely human being, and great to have around!
According to Levi's video "Chess Cheaters get EXPOSED", the "900" dap is a dirty cheater.
It's funny how stark the difference is in his play as he runs low on time and isnt able to check whatever engine he's using, i.e. him immediately losing all of his pawns.
@@wendellbrown6188 to be fair, I don’t believe it was possible to save all of those pawns because he only had one bishop with a weird structure, but yes, that is an interesting thing to mention.

I find it helpful to slow his speed down to either .75x or custom .60x, otherwise my ADD kicks in.
Then watch it over and over until you can teach it yourself. Good luck.

I remember the 1st time I saw levy doing en passant I was like: WTF HE IS HACKING PAWN CANT DO THAT

Watched this video a week ago and immediately improved alottt. Tried learning a couple new openings and down the ladder I go. Watched it again and improved again I did even with the new openings. Thanks Gotham!

I haven't played in a long time, but I keep watching your videos and streams. Recently, I again started to make a few puzzles every day and reached about 1,000 puzzles rating, though my game rating was 555 when I abandoned playing. Practicing today, I solved the 2109 rated puzzle within the first attempt.

The excitement in your explanations is quite a joy to watch
You make it look easy. I always get so deep in a game where both of us have made like 20 moves each and no pieces are off the board. Then I have no idea what I’m doing, what piece to move, what to take or trade, etc and end up losing the game. 😂

Levy is such a great teacher :)
Very helpful, you're a fantastic instructor. I started talking out loud to myself when playing bots to help me justify (to myself) why I'm making certain moves. What a beautiful game.
The value of pawns goes up as the game progresses. In the early stages, they are 1. expendable soldiers, 2. Excellent defenders precisely because of their perceived low value, and 3. devices which can be used to manipulate the opponent. As the game progresses they increasingly try to realize their dream.... "I may only be a pawn now, but I aspire to be a QUEEN."
You have grown so much throughout the last year. You are quickly becoming one of the best at what you do. You seem to have mastered a very rare ability to translate complex chess knowledge into very natural and evident concepts. That's why so many people follow you, you understand how we think about chess at different levels and age-groups. I admire you effort and work. Congrats and keep it up. Cheers

A round of applause for levy for putting out good quality and informative content on a regular basis.
Great video Levy!! Would be great if you could create a video about how to push pawns to promote a queen.... when you do it in your videos seems always so easy, but when it's time to do it myself... I don't know which strategy should I use (king in front of the pawns, rooks behind them, push the pawns alone on their own....of course it will depend on the position, but must be some basic ideas behind). It's something critical that can decide if you win or you lose the game
This might be a bit too late but, most of the time, especially if it's only king to king and some pawns you want your king in front of the pawn with a knight's distance as it allows the king to just oversee the pawn from the side when you push it.
I'm a simple man, I see Gotham Chess posting videos, I like them right away..
you've gotten me excited about chess again for the first time in years! i appreciate all of your hard work, creativity, and insights!

super helpful video, i feel like my main weakness is positionally because i'm rated about 1850-1900 in puzzles but I find it difficult to use my pawns and win in ways that aren't with complicated tactics.these videos help a lot thank you for reference my rating in rapid is 1300, i think that i mostly just need to play much longer games like 15 minute so that I can understand the position more as I play because i generally play 5 minute games.
That was really classy putting up games from your match where you won and lost. I love the respect for your competitor. You guys played a hell of a match

Excellent! Am immediately going to watch your video(s) on pawn structure. Thanks for a very helpful lesson.
How to use pawns "properly" in the various phases of a chess game.
1) Slowly open the packaging and pull a couple pawns out
2) Throw your pawns in a pot to simmer with horse meat and maybe read the bible while at it.
3) Once the horse meat has been tenderized enough, and or you have finished reading the holy scriptures, start pulling the pawns out of the pot for consumption. Careful not to make the rookie mistake of consuming pawns on their own. Always escort them with some sort of a side dish if you want to have a majestic experience.
You are welcome
Thank you for such an instructive video! I can tell by the way you talk that your mind is quite facile and deeply incisive which actually intimidates me a little because I'm not as fast as you in interpreting chess positions, however, I am smart enough to know that if I follow you, my positional grasp is sure to improve.
People from Medieval Era are offended by your video.
They got so offended, they just went dead.
Few minutes on the clock and finds time to do in depth commentary. I am impressed.

Thankyou Levy. Through your videos I have become very strong in the middle games. I am still working on memorising openings and not panic and get tilted in the endgame. Can you please make a video on Knight/Bishop and 2 pawns vs 5 pawns.
“I’m gonna shove my D pawn here, woah phrasing.” - Levy 2021
Forgive me if im wrong, but after that knight moved to G2 (10:37) it is Win for black with Black Bishop to D2, with no way to prevent Check when going to C3 .(if king moves to either squares, black wins with rook A8. if Knight moves, rook C8 to C6 then Other rook to C8) If White rook moves to A1, Bishop C3 Check. King move either squares, then Black Rook C8 to A8 (with check(king B2 to A2) , or facing other rook (king B2 to B1). If check: white king A2 to B1, Then Black Rook take with Mate. If rook facing other rook, Activate other Black rook from H8 to C8, wich is too much for white.
Other way, When black bishop move to C3 Check, White king B2 to C1, then Black rook to A8. Could bring a big mess here, but sure looks winning to black when activate other Rook.
And oh, Thank u for ur videos, they are very helpful! Wish u the best!

I just picked up chess again this week after not playing for about 15 years. Today I played a computer to a draw, and won two games against actual people, including my dad. I attribute this is no small part to Levy's videos. In the game against my dad I was mostly thinking about pawn management, and not rushing my attacks. Managed to checkmate him, probably due to a single blunder he made that allowed me to take his queen early. Thanks for the lessons Levy
