Literally one of the best chess tutorials I have watched. One of Levy's greatest strengths as a chess teacher is he has a good understanding of how lower rated Chess players think and move. Instead of a video full of "Here's what you do", there's a lot of "Here's how I think you would do it, and I understand why you do it, but here's a better way".
He’s great at showing the next proximal step in a learning sequence, and taking steps backwards when incorrect moves are played to more deeply understand and explain a position.
In which time control though? 2000 in rapid is really easy, just use your time wisely and think about how every move your opponent makes changes their control of both the dark and light squares so that you can counter their expansion and overwhelm them with your own while watching out for tactics. If your opponent is lower rated than you, try squeezing them in a positional grind and slowly win. If they're higher, open the position to allow for dynamic positions and counterplay. Build a solid 2-3 repertoires for both white and black that you can use when you have longer matches with the same opponent, like best of 3 or best of 5. Do these things to get from 1600-2000. Up to 1600, you gotta just grind the patterns of the game into your head with puzzles and tactics and respond not incorrectly in high tension situations.

The "checks-captures-attacks" checklist really is such simple but massive game changer in how you see the board. I remember i went up like 400 points from ~800 to 1250 last year hearing that advice from one of your videos, and solving puzzles became way easier.
This guy has got to be the best chess coach there is... I went from 739 to 846 without losing a single game😳🥺. Currently on my way to 900 elo. Thanks so much Levi.✨
RIGHT! This looks like the kind of games I would see at 100 elo, at 600 Elo, I almost always play against somehow who, when anaylizing the game specifically, plays at a level of 900+.
Hello Levy, you might not see this but after months of binge watching your videos I've achieved the rating of 1000. (I've been stuck at the 1160s but regardless) I just wanted to say thank you for putting out the content that you do regardless if haters rag on you for being click baity or unserious. To me and plenty of other people you've been an excellent resource, dear entertainer, and someone I now regularly enjoy watching even if I am not constantly studying chess because I enjoy your videos for you. I hope you continue to find joy and fulfillment in making content and that your wife and dog are well. P.S. When I have the funds I'd like to purchase one of your courses to help advance my chess. Maybe I'd like to become a titled player later in life but who knows how life will go but you've definitely inspired me to want persue this silly game.
I literally fought nearly every day from 2021 October to be a 1000. I watched your videos, trained, practiced against bots, watched pro matches. Now I am 1100 and you make a video to help me achieve a 1000... My luck😂😂😂
If I could stop blundering, I'd totally be 1000. If I had a dollar for every game where I clearly was going to win and then just did something that someone with an extra chromosome would do, I would be a millionaire
Thanks Levy for makings this video. Was hanging around 820. Since watching this and following the checklist you have given I have won 10 out of 12 and now its at 900. Thanks again.
I'm at 500 so far and my biggest challenge is hitting that play online opponent button. I've mastered hitting the play computer button pretty well so far though.
Evaluate your losses. Chances are, it’s because you blundered. When you stop hanging pieces, you’ll skyrocket in rating. My brother went from 600 to 1,000 in about a month just doing his best to avoid blunders.
I can't say enough how much this video has helped. When I make it to 1000 it will be because you explained everything so beautifully. I've just played 2 games that were around 90% accurate and it's because of the 5 steps you outlined in this video.
Would love a video like this on 2,000 (if you hadn't already planned on it), I've been stuck at 1900 I know a lot of your audience isn't 2000 level but if I can gain something from watching this video they can definitely have something to gain by watching that video thanks for all the great content :) much love

@@madhououinkyoma Unfortunately I've started university and I don't have a lot of time to play as consistently as I used to, so not really but it's not due to the video
Thank you so much levy I was stuck at 1300 but now I am 1000! But all seriousness this is amazing! I am better than I ever was! I took a break for a year and came back to play I lost obviously but it was fun.
Can't thank you enough for the amazing content. New to Chess and recently broke into the 500's from watching and studying your videos. Keep up the great work because I am always studying and digesting.
I have been playing for around two months, and I have never resigned or abandoned a game (Except when I genuinely had something urgent come up). Trust me when I say this, upto 60% of my losing endgames just result in a stalemate as low ELO genuinely struggle in the endgame. Even I have completely thrown an extremely dominant position by just not knowing how to give a check.
I started playing I think 4 or 5 days ago now when I found a Ludwig short with you in it, I'm up to 240 elo and my biggest issue right now is just random queen attacks, you seriously help world's with building confidence and helping me recognize better lines to play. Chess is truly epic I'm glad I found this community
Hey Levy, I don’t know if you’re ever gonna read this but I would love to see more content about Ding Liren as he works up to getting into the candidates. I loved that first video
I’m a late bloomer. I’m 31, five years into my chess journey and just now starting to understand theory. I never knew openings, but you’ve helped me realize that I’ve been playing the Vienna and the London, although I’m still working out my inaccuracy in the opening
15:15 with hope chess and having good openings is EXACTLY how I play. “Well they’re low elo what’s the chance they won’t see what I’m doing” and it honestly only works 2/10 times
*Waiting for next video to reach 1500 ELO. BTW, this is really helpful for those who are struggling to reach 1000 from 800 or 900 ELO.* I am really struggling to reach 1500. I can defeat high 1300s, but I lose to high 1400s and low 1500s. Really waiting eagerly for the next rating checkpoint (probably 1500 if you see this). Edit: There are really good stuffs for intermediate/advance players too in this video! I am gonna watch the full video. Love you Levy ❤❤.
Make sure your openings aren’t blunders, and get pieces active. Master advanced tactics: fork, pin, skewer, deflection, danger levels. Know the basic endgames and how to actively use your king and rook. Learn checkmating patterns and short term sacrifices to get that advantage.
I literally reached exactly 1000 Elo just yesterday, that’s pretty funny timing. But thank you so much for your free coaching, it’s genuinely so so helpful and I’m so glad there’s someone like you in the chess UA-cam scene :)
My rapid rating is 1400. My blitz rating is 700... I for the life of me can't seem to get my blitz rating up! Not sure what it is about this elo that traps you into it
2 things. The pool of players who play blitz is a lot smaller than rapid, 10 mil vs 27 mil. This means that average Blitz player is likely a bit more of an enthusiast/chess-fanatic than the average Rapid player. Since the rating system is based on a bell curve, 700 blitz is gonna represent a more skilled player than 700 rapid. Personally I find the difference to be 150 eloish but maybe it varies. The other reason is the time controls obviously, Both 3 and 5 minutes are blitz so just play 5 if you werent already
The players I am playing come up with Scandinavian, Caro kann, Sicilian, Ruy Lopez, Kings Indian, Four knights etc..... The players I am playing play 6-7 great moves on average, They play endgame like Magnus, u must review Indian 500 they easily play 1500 games on average, last time my opponent blundered was 1 yrs ago...................
The best advice that helped me was the one regarding the time. I usually play 15|10 minutes, I always finished the game with around 13-14 minutes left, as you get 10 secs after every move. Since I stay and think more the moves, I own most of my opponents that play the game as a blitz. Most of the time i get around 80% accuracy and sometimes if I am lucky even 90%.

I am really struggling to reach 1500. I can defeat high 1300s, but I lose to high 1400s and low 1500s. Really waiting eagerly for the next rating checkpoint (probably 1500 if you see this).
Edit: There are really good stuffs for intermediate/advance players too in this video! I am gonna watch the full video.
Love you Levy ❤❤.
I can sooooo much relate to this!!!!
Just beat them instead of losing lol
I think the thing I struggled with the most when I was 1500 was converting a winning advantage to a win.
@@derpypotato1252 Yeah like I didn't thought of it.
Make sure your openings aren’t blunders, and get pieces active. Master advanced tactics: fork, pin, skewer, deflection, danger levels. Know the basic endgames and how to actively use your king and rook. Learn checkmating patterns and short term sacrifices to get that advantage.
Thanks Levy
Currently grinding to get 1000 so this helps a lot 💪
I literally reached exactly 1000 Elo just yesterday, that’s pretty funny timing. But thank you so much for your free coaching, it’s genuinely so so helpful and I’m so glad there’s someone like you in the chess UA-cam scene :)
Same 😵💫
I watched this video yesterday and hit 1000 just a few hours later, perfect timing haha
Great steps, actually failed beating some of the bots.
But applying these steps actually boosted my games! Thanks
16:46 Joe Mama LOL also, THANK YOU BRO I haven't even finished watching the video and played chess, I won 2 games and now I'm 600+
Love the non-mention checkmate at 21:47.
Qd1, Qf1,Rg6,Kh1,Qf1
Thank you for making this video AFTER I just hit 1000😂👍
"also you're a 500 you're not gonna find bishop e2" DEAD
My rapid rating is 1400. My blitz rating is 700... I for the life of me can't seem to get my blitz rating up! Not sure what it is about this elo that traps you into it
2 things. The pool of players who play blitz is a lot smaller than rapid, 10 mil vs 27 mil. This means that average Blitz player is likely a bit more of an enthusiast/chess-fanatic than the average Rapid player. Since the rating system is based on a bell curve, 700 blitz is gonna represent a more skilled player than 700 rapid. Personally I find the difference to be 150 eloish but maybe it varies. The other reason is the time controls obviously, Both 3 and 5 minutes are blitz so just play 5 if you werent already
Certainly one of the best chess vidéo I’ve ever seen 👍🏻
Can we all appreciate how much effort he puts in his videos
The players I am playing come up with Scandinavian, Caro kann, Sicilian, Ruy Lopez, Kings Indian, Four knights etc.....
The players I am playing play 6-7 great moves on average, They play endgame like Magnus, u must review Indian 500 they easily play 1500 games on average, last time my opponent blundered was 1 yrs ago...................
I'm still trying to get double digits, let alone a 1000 rating
youre trying to get to 10 ELO?
Explains better than my maths teacher
These are the best tips anyone could give you. At least watch this 3-4 times under 1000 elo rated players
i lost 1500 rating points trying to be a 100 using this video
The best advice that helped me was the one regarding the time. I usually play 15|10 minutes, I always finished the game with around 13-14 minutes left, as you get 10 secs after every move. Since I stay and think more the moves, I own most of my opponents that play the game as a blitz. Most of the time i get around 80% accuracy and sometimes if I am lucky even 90%.
im 1420, would love to be 1500
Those 500-600s are playing ridiculously. The 500-600s I play are like Kasparov 😂
I'm now at 1100 elo from 800
