A chess tips video about when to activate the king (and when it's (not) safe to do so) would be awesome
Activate ur king in the endgame
2. ke2
The king gets active in the endgame, as Herojit said, where most pieces have been traded, and the king can walk around relatively or completely safe.
Though, you may develop your king in certain scenarios where you don't see any threat or ocunterplay, or you can calculate a route for your king to hide in safety somewhere: sometimes you can build a mobile fortress for it, or it can hide in the most creative of ways (11:06 is not really a complete endgame, but it conveys the point).
A full video on this would be great tho.
That’s an interesting idea.
This, plus also how to activate your king, sounds dumb but in some end games I get "stuck" on which way to go, would probably be very short to answer this but I'm visual so seeing would be awesome
Can you teach how to create opportunities out of a seeming neutral or locked up position.
Thats a great idea
Pawnbreaks
So u mean creating plans? Maybe u can try looking at some of agads vids , u can understand how to create by looking at gm games
@@coleschemistrychannel4172 there’s not always pawn breaks available, and a lot of the players at the beginning of the intermediate level lock up the positions on purpose.
@@raghavdhabe7359 i do that, but sometimes you need to see things at your own level first lmao
great vid, the chess tips series is one of your most helpful ones
Agreed
I have watched your every single video(except 4 player chess) lamao. your opening videos for black (king's indian) and london system for white and their rating climbs have made my life easy.
That helped me reaching 1200.
Expecting more content 🖤🖤
Good luck man
Same here im 1500 now
Nice! I need to put in that work.
You are easily the best chess teacher on UA-cam. it’s impossible not to get excited about chess when hearing you talk about it
I would love to see a video on how to learn theory, build a solid repertoire, etc.(Unless this has already been explained and I'm really dumb)
just buy a book or watch a few hours of theory on youtube if available, the only way you can learn is by repetition so after you watchted a few videos about an opening go ahead and play it. play it 100+ times and analyze your games.
Worked on this recently and I agree with@@EMoritzxD . Only thing I would add is it helped me to draw out a physical map of moves that could happen for the first 3-5 moves so I have answers for most of the major lines. So I worked out that ill stick to e4 and b3 as my opening moves as white. When e4, I know that my response to Sicilian will be grand Prix Attack and I'll play Kings Gambit against e5. Mapping that out for both black and white has helped me focus my opening study to just the theory I need. Then I just play a lot of games with those openings and watch a few videos on them
Levy already has e4 opening courses on sale. You can check that one out if you're interested in openings and theory.
14:47 be like
Chat: “HES USING AN ENGINE” “CHEATER”
Dont expect levy sir to comment again
This didn't age well lmao
Great content bro! Would love to see a chess tips video on the importance of castling, how castling vs non-castling chess can be disadvantageous, and how does one play out of non-castling chess?
I think I am now in a position to award you the very prestigious "Best thing since sliced bread award". Well done - you earned it !!
Very instructive, one of the best chess channels across youtube.
Hey levy could you make a vid about attacking when same side castling.
If bith sides castle kingside, f pawn push are usually a nice way
Very nice tips! Thanks a lot!
I do go crazy when I'm down in material but until now I didn't know the right approach to it. I'll definitely put your teachings to practice. Thanks for these chess tips videos.
I love it this is really effective movesets and it's really helpful to teach the more effective moves you can do then simple trades or meaningless checks
love the vids!
Hi Levy, thanks for another useful video. I’d like to see a tips video on general endgame technique. It’s easy to find videos on well-known endgames such as Philidor, Lucena and various K & P combinations. It’s also not tricky to find general tips like activate your king and use the opposition. However it’s hard to find anything on how to convert an endgame with, say, a rook, knight or bishop and several pawns in an arbitrary structure. When I watch strong players play I see them carefully anticipating and thwarting their opponent’s ideas, looking for tricks with knights and rooks, controlling key squares, trading off pawns indirectly (ie not just PxP). I appreciate that endgame technique is extremely complex but a guide or guides showing some of these techniques, and others I’m probably not aware of, in action, with your unique presentation style, would be brilliant. Hope you like the idea.
Hey Levy, could you make a video explaining "compensation" and exemplify just like in this video. I think you explain chess super well and at a pace that suits my current level.
Loving what you do. I even subscribed to Twitch just to follow you but I apologize I can't stand Twitch and made it back to YT only. All the best
A video on sacrificing pieces would be nice :)
Suggestion: Please make a chess tips video on prophylactic thinking and how to anticipate opponent's moves. Thanks in advance. 😊
I’ve known how to play the basics of chess for a while now but ever since I’ve really tried getting into it I’ve been stuck anywhere between 700-1000 but I can tell I’m not keeping up with a lot of my opponents. I’m not huge into chess but I watch videos here and there for tips and tricks but I can never seem to set up anything because I don’t know how to see their defensive moves from 2-3 moves ahead even. Hope to get better through practice and such but if anyone has tips on how to know when they’re defending or when I should give up the setup , etc that would be amazing. And even a book on this type of matter would help a ton cause I’d like to think that I pick up chess easily and I understand why certain moves are made but sometimes it looks like they’re doing absolutely nothing to defend and then two moves later I’m the one that’s trapped.
Great, really good at explaining, my new chess favorite
levy you have no idea how great these area, you're the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! when I see these I get so excited!
Im lucky i had 1st period free so I could watch this
I don't play bullet often, but I'd be interested in concepts around that if you haven't already and I missed it. As soon as I have a whole day to myself I'm gonna get into your openings and 1000+ concepts. Love the channel FOR THE RECORD!
Hi, defo going to rewatch this loads of times as my counterplay game is weak. Would be interested in a video about nice rook lifts 🙂
Thank you, Gautam bhai
Nb3, followed by e4, then f5, was nice
at 4:53
Best example was
10:03
So many good attacking moves!
Nice talk keep up the good work!!!
And make videos in category of Gambit videos.
At "only" 75K views, this video is probably one of your most underrated. Lots of great ideas here.
Awesome vid!
Great video!
Thanks for the video 🙂
Thanks for making these videos :-)
It would be nice to see, when you illustrate a game theory, some games where you lost aswell :)
I love these upload times theyre right on 9pm for me
lol its 6am New York times
Levy, can you make a video on how to convert losing games into a draw? I honestly would prefer draw than losing. And also how to draw a game whenever you feel like you might lose ?
I watched a video, and I can’t recall the channel/creator, but his instructional really informed me about the game. I started protecting all the pieces and didn’t focus on gambits as much, and this video has helped in the same manner. There’s not an immediate need to trade pieces as long as there is still development as you mentioned.. Would you agree? Thanks for the vid…
everytime i see the pic of levy in the thumbnail he stares deeper into my soul each time and i feel like he knows about evey blunder i make
He isn't even looking at the lens in the thumbnail...
@@sashimi879 destroyed the dude
Really really really like your tutorial videos you should do more tactical videos . I myself become a little confused which move to play and set up my opponent. So please make a video about what to think while playing any move.😁😊☺️
Could you do another London system/stonewall low rating climb? Loved that video
Yes, thank you. One concept per video. I like your prompt "Pause the video and play"
Can you make a video on when to attack and when to develop your pieces?
Hey Levy, please make a video on how to punish annoying and garbage moves by my opponents in the opening.
Well done!
can you do on preparation moves and maybe defence ?
Levy, love your channel. very helpful. i would benefit from a chess tips about how to use my queen and when. common roles the queen should play and things to avoid. thanks, r
I like when you show a position and then discuss why the obvious moves are flawed and then show the best one
Witch pawn to push to break enemies castle king would I like to see
Nice video 😀
I really like these videos
E4 push series was epic
can you do a video on pawn structure and using pawns effectively during mid-late game?
Can you do some more game summaries? Agadmator is taking a much needed break and I need my chess fix.
thank you
Would like to see examples of overextension in a chess tips video
Would you make a chess tips video about maximizing space I guess? I'll be glad if you got some idea from this levy
I was rated 1200 before watching your videos. Now I'm 650.
Could you do a video on what to do with knights. I never know what to do with them
Can you make a chesstips video about capturing? Like I mean, when to capture, and when to know if it is good or not.
Hey Levy, Can you pls make a video on certain endgame positions which are very important and tips for playing under time pressure 🙂
♥️ Your content..
Levy you are quickly becoming the best chess instruction on youtube. I hope you read this. There are several meme-like phrases that all chess masters seem to use that mean absolutely nothing to beginners. "Activating your pieces" is one of them. I know you are trying to explain it, but it would be much much more helpful if you could break that phrase down into 5 to however many other smaller things that fall into that category. How does a beginner tell the difference between "activation" and "over-aggression"? There needs to be some smaller objective measures you can explain that feed into this reasoning that pieces need to be activated. Thanks for your time.
I think one key difference between activation and over-aggression is not pushing *into* the enemies position unless you are trying to break through or have a very solid defense. Activation however, is getting your pieces into good positions where they can do the most damage when needed.
One of the most useful series I’ve ever seen in my life, keep up the good work!
Hi gothamchess. Could you make a video on things to never do in a particular opening or in a game in general? Ty
hello Levy, please make a video on 'when to trade, what to trade, why to trade'. Thanks
Can you do a video of chess paterns that we can try to force in games, in order to have atack ideas when we dont know what to do. Maybe like a mix of tactics and strategy. Thanks, I like your videos
Do a video on checking and pinning pieces by castling and making the most out of your moves while wasting your opponents moves to develop your pieces ahead of your opponent
Can we get a chess tips video on trading? When to trade, when not to trade, etc.
Levi, when you castle opposite sides, is it good to sac your pawns and mobilize queen and rooks towards opponents King? I've both won and lost games this way. But fundamentally what'd do you suggest?
Can you do a basic video on how to push away an early queen attack? As a low ELO player its so hard to trap/make them retreat the queen
Hey Levi, I love your videos. Could you make a video about spotting weaknesses and taking advantage of them or correcting your own?
i watched the beginner and intermediate chess lessons of yours please create the advanced chess lessons because im already studying chess
I was just going into UA-cam and watching some videos, then i found A Chess video and another one and another one and then the algorithm brought me here, in the middle of the night. And now I want to play chess but I can’t bc I really need to go to bed.
I would like to see a video of "50 things about me"... could be nice :) regards Levy!
Hey Levy could you please make a video about how to convert an equal middle game or endgame to a winning game? Because everytime I try to do, I end up making wrong breaks or losing.
Can we get a Endgame tips video. About Knights. with Knights and pawns being the endgame. How do we navigate those well? i always struggle with that
Well Levy, it seems like you're doing fine. You give us reasoning, like look at the board. What do you see? Simple examples work . You don't have to find some complicated, far out example that will really really teach us how to be a GM.
i recommend an episode on sacrifices and how to act when a sacrifice has been refused
levy can you make a vid on not to make one attacking moves!
Levy at 7:24 you could have played pawn b7 trapping the bishop!!!
next vid can you teach us how to find candidate moves
Hey! You played against a Sri Lankan. That FM is the youngest to win that title in my country. It was a pleasant surprise to see my flag haha.
I love his series! Thank you.

#suggestion
piece quardination

After Qd5 what about the move Bxc6 @8:07, isn't that really bad for black
thank you man! you should have more subs than this!!
For chess tips maybe you can make a video on how to use forks, pins and skewers in the middlegame
GELO PLAYS MARVEL puzzles, puzzles, and puzzles
its been 2 years and this video is still helpfull
true
wait your subbed to dabloon??????? Hes awesome
subbed
A chess tip related question I've been struggling with is how to take advantage of having a superior pawn structure. At 1100 rating I find myself in situations where material is even and I have the better pawn structure but I don't really know how to turn that into a win
Recently had a game where material was even but opponent had 2 sets of doubled pawns and they were broken up into 3 groups. But I couldn't come up with a way to take advantage in time and the game ended up in repetition
@@seankopper2233 get into an endgame maybe and chip away at his weak pawns
how to spot tactics in blitz i either miss out on tactics or get flaged
Please can you make a course for intermediate players rated 1300-1600?
Is there any reason why at 1:58 Black wouldn’t move pawn to b4, forcing the rook to move so that the queen can capture the knight for free whilst also placing the king in check?
lol i saw d5 at 7:00 but i had no idea why it would be good KEKW
6:50 that voicecrack hahahaha
When to trade. Who benefits trades
Maybe you should teach endgame tactics
13:22
That's mate in 2
i got a question its not normally a tactic on the puzzles on chess.com but after a bishop takes your kings pawn protector is it valid to trap it with a pawn move? you give away two pawns 7:44 for example
The best answer is "sometimes".
In this game, where you indicated, it would have been bad because if black tried to trap White's Bishop by playing b6 then white could check by moving his other Bishop to a6+. Black's king would be forced out, letting the queen capture the d5 Bishop and probably leading to a quick checkmate.
Sometimes it can be good though. You just have to be able to calculate whether you will be able to keep your king safe
