I love how most of the examples always end with
‘i did not win this game but thats not the point’
I like that his ego is strong enough to present his losses as well as wins. Sign of a good teacher.
@@mathgod Agreed. And it is a nice change from the usual "Both sides broke all the rules because they are GMs and it ended in a draw."
This may be the most instructional aspect of this video: don’t be ashamed of your losses, learn from them
@@Wisdomx01 You win some, you learn some.
I DID NOT WIN
BUT THAT AINT THE POINT
This guy teaches his heart out to us so we can understand chess better,, Thank you!!!
No joke, he is great at teaching. Hope he makes a lot of money with this so he can continue.
True! Thank you Gotham
Exactly my thoughts
Okay gaurav bhagat
He is absolutely a gift from the gods
heres a plan:
-try to scholar mate
-if they notice it, resign
im glad you said "a" plan and not "the" plan lol
Below 1100 rated players in a nutshell
It's still playable even tho scholars mate isn't exactly the best opening choice
@@christophermatthew7635 I think someone played it against Kasparov and almost got away with it
Below 800, 1000s are never falling to a scholars mate
Not all heroes are GM's.
Levy is dropping knowledge furiously.
Agadmator is not even a CM
Sagar Shah from chess base India is an IM
Eric Rosen is also an IM
To be a good teacher you don't need a PhD you just need a heart for the subject you teach.
@@Kevin-cy2dr Jeethendra Adwani from chess talks is not even a titled player still he is also good.
This is exactly what I need, thank you Levy! My biggest problem is that once I'm in the middlegame, I sort of wait around and end up falling behind as my opponent improves their own position. I am now going to be a man with a plan!
This is my problem too! That's why I 'm watching this video right now
Same here 😄
LMAO, same. I know the basics of the openings, but my middle game stinks. I especially struggle with doing check mates
ey just want to say that i got +300 in rating this past month, still a bit short from 1k but yah. am progressing. thanks for the content mate.
same, went from 700-1000
Best wishes for your chess improvement.
me too now I am 750 in just a week before it took me 10 days for +10 rating
Where are you now?
@@oledechert3278 i atleast reach 1.1k but then got stuck again. Atm busy at academics. Cant play much
Good stuff. Personally, I would love to see longer-form videos where you implement these ideas you're presenting in a live game and talk through your decision making process. John Bartholomew does this with his 'Chess Fundamentals' and 'Climbing the Rating Ladder' series (and maybe some others I'm not aware of). Seeing someone talk through their decision making process, while also critiquing lower level players and pointing out their mistakes, has been really invaluable as a beginner. It seems like playing lower ranked players really helps solidify the 'lesson' of the video, as they're more prone to make mistakes. Honestly, even if there's not some central point of theme to the video, that format for teaching is really golden, imo.
Haven't you seen Gotham Chess Guide series on this channel? It's 'Climbing the Rating Ladder' type of content. Levy explains his thought process, extremely instructive series.
@@givorenon Oh dang, I'll have to check that out. I wasn't aware he had done something like this, thanks.
This guy is charisma on command dude with a beard
@Jesus Christ agree
@Jesus Christ yess that'd be so sick mental preparation in chess can be quite important indeed
More like chess on command
gotham is the reason. i became the best chess player in our school
0:45 "bring the queen B4 I move the pawn"!!!!!!
LMAOOOOOO
I didn't even notice that
Missed flagging, the most important tactic in chess
Less important when you have so long per game
Most important tactic in "speed chess".
Speed chess isn't real chess. It's something that uses the rules of chess to make a faster, smaller game with more apparent action.
@@SumNutOnU2b How is that not "real" chess? You can't make a claim like that and have no evidence to back it up
@@SumNutOnU2b yes playing a 3 hour chess game is fun
Evidence? It's a game, not metaphysics.
There's a solitaire version of poker that people can play. You just play against the deck and try to make poker hands. But any poker player will say "that's not _real_ poker". It uses the elements of poker to make a different game with different risks and objectives, but similar enough that some (but not all) of the skills of the original game are still helpful. This is almost the same. Same principle anyway
You're the only person on UA-cam whose tutorials on chess are understandable to beginners and amateurs. Thank you so much for these. Much love 😍
The only problem is when I play I forget everything I learned or planned lol
i used to watch movies while eating now i just watch his amazing chess tutorial i dont know how but i am enjoying it
Really needed some of these classic attacking plans. Sometimes I had no plan and started maneuvering pieces thinking it would make them more useful but the enemy just makes brlliants threats with no escape. Thanks a lot!
Nice summary and very informative!. It's not mentioned explicitly, but demonstrated implicitly, but one of the common mistakes players make when they first learn to make plans is being too ambitious with their plans, as in thinking that a plan has to be this grand overarching thing that unfolds over the duration of the whole game. Your plans can be smaller than that and you can have more than one in a game. Like your first plan could be to take control of a particular square as an outpost and secure a piece on it. Then, after accomplishing that, you can make a new plan based on using that well placed piece to support an attack on the king or to pressure another area of the board. Or if your opponent thwarts your first plan by covering the square you targeted with a pawn, you can re-evaluate and formulate a new plan to target the weaknesses created by that pawn move. And if the opponent counters that by forcing a trade of the weak pawn, you can then proceed with a third plan to infiltrate on the open file the pawn trade created. And so forth.
Another thing to remember is that plans must be specific. "I will move my pieces to the K-side to checkmate the K" is not a plan. You want to have specific squares where you want to put your pieces, or specific files or diagonals you want to open and control, or specific weaknesses you want to attack or put pressure on, in mind.
6:41 “now that’s a lot of damage”
My friend. You are just brilliant. That's it. And I'm sure about that.
Both in teaching and in chess!
you are the best chess teacher I've ever had in my life!
Really enjoy your content! You’re clear, concise, and straight to the point. Excellent teaching! Could you make another 10mn video on the English opening? It’s my personal favorite :)
I love the English too!
I really find his style of telling awesome .. make easier to understand even the tough positions
I’ve been playing randomly on an app for two years without learning any technique and I stagnate to beginner level.
Today is the first time I go on UA-cam thinking “let’s see if you can improve a little”.
All this goes too fast for me, I’m overwhelmed and feel so stupid looking at the comments of everyone finding it clear and obvious!
I’m gonna try to learn the basics and come back when I’ll be equipped to understand!
start with openings, as white and black
You should watch some of his other videos. That's how I got better. What are you rated right now?
I create plans as if the opponent is gonna sacrifice all his pieces to me
when the random chess master on YT is better than your school teachers
He was younger. Lol
yeah
You have a real ability to explain chess plans and ideas. Thanks very much for doing these useful chess videos. Much appreciated!
I just love how humble you are, please never change. You show a perfect played piece of chess and you could have left it there, but you admit that you lost in the end. That makes you a winner in so many people's eyes. Love ya!
You're one of the best chess channels, thank you.
You are absolutely one of the greatest teachers!
It's been always hard for me to come up with the plan in an equal possition. Your videos help me a lot. Thank you
Please, keep making these videos for starters. I've been looking for a channel of this sort for a few days, where I don't have to pay to learn.
Thank you.
Levy is the best. Things never get muddy with his explanations. He knows how to say just enough.
Man I’m struggling a lot to apply strategy and tactics to my game. I literally just play an opening and can only find room to be completely reactionary to whatever my opponent plays. My game is literally capitalising on opponent blunders which just sucks.
This channel is underrated
One of the best instructive videos
Thank you Gotham
I admit that I watch all these instructional videos at half speed..but I'm still a Novice, just saying. I love how this guy is teaching everyone from adults to younger players. Chess is Awesome !!!
this channel is becoming my. fav chess channel. love you levy
@GothamChess - At 5:48 why not sacrifice the dark square Bishop to weaken the A Colum by killing that pawn, then you have full control with the rook and your normal plan of bishop and queen still works. am i missing something?
You have a wonderful gift to teach the most important things in a chess game. Thank you so much for taking the time to instruct us about these complex chess games. Much appreciated!
Your king was in the centre and you came up with a plan to open the centre for the opponent to attack it. 👏🏻
6:26 "Which of my pieces is not taking part in the attack?"
Me an intellectual: The King?!
Levy: Correct!! (...moves the Knight)
Lol
Thank you Levy
Thank you Levi this is one of the worst aspects of my games. The additional link is helpful I will work though it and hopefully improve my game !!
0:45 *B4 I move the pawn*
Nice! I haven't played for 40 years and I still making a lot of blunders. Being shown what to look for I am finding helps me focus on what my opponent and I am doing. I find your enthusiasm and ablity to simplify the various concepts of play very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks a lot, Levy. I love what you're doing.
Amazing help, exactly what I was trying to learn. Thank u so much!
Wish you a very happy teacher's day Levy 😊🙏
I sincerely love your contents ... Thanks for all your efforts.
damn it's gonna take me a while to get good at chess
I do martial arts, but i don't know how to play chess, but i heard chess help strategize in a fight, so i'm here👍
If you click on the guide levy posted in his description, and are on an apple product, cancel page loading halfway through the process. This will stop the dumb “your phone is infected” malware advertisement from taking up your page
Used this advice just now to get a checkmate win. Good content!
hey man, recently noticed your channel and after a few vids, subscribed immediately. i can see you really care about content and your explanations are very clear. tips about making a plan, is probably for the beginners and improvers. so maybe it's better to make a few videos on this topic, expecially about positional chess. since not everyone is a tactical geniuses but everyone can understand improving the position. thank you for your efforts ✌️
People in 2024? 👇👇
Me

I always make plans, finally get all my pieces in the right place, but then I forgot about 1 enemy pawn or something and it messes everything up lmao.
If you look GJ chess repertoire for black instead of white you'll see a similar position it has helped me to get to almost 1500 now the c4 break is crazy.
I might be missing something but at 6:42 couldnt white just do knight e7 check forking the rook and if queen takes, bishop is then hanging?
Unfortunately that just blunders the knight, as the white bishop on the kingside is required to be there to prevent black knight f3 forking the white king and queen.
Sir you are very rare. I've been playing chess for 11 years. Some chess channels didn't explain this very well but you did. I will open all ad as my payment to you
Love the instructions on tactics not convulooted.
I swear you're gonna help me get up 200 points. Thanks so much for teaching tactics. Biggest criticism of UA-cam chess tutorials is analyzing specific games in way too much depth which ends up not being applicable to the average player. Thanks for these videos!
Very helpful!
i feel like i gained elo just from watching this
You have a gift for teaching chess. Thank you for the lessons!
So appreciate your explanations and teaching instruction!
OG GothamChess. Super cool video. Also, I really appreciate the link to the journal article.
Excellent content Gothem Chess
I like the strategic one better because its more a of plan where your opponent has no idea of what you are planning
Wow what an excellent video series and community service. I look forward to following you in the years ahead. Thanks!
I don't really learn from your videos, I just listen to your voice because it encourages me to play more chess lol
This is some quality content, keep posting these kind of instructive videos. Subbed!
One of Levy's better videos, IMO!👍
As a beginner, I wish you would make some vids that explained moves and strategies more slowly, it's hard to follow this pace.
Great Video! Holy that "making a plan" webpage is an Angelfire site! whoa blast from the past... i remember making a site on their like 20 yrs ago!
Hardest thing these days is buying a chess set
1:00 he makes a small joke, "b4 I move this pawn I move out the queen first".
Great instructing in this video, sir. You are very good at getting the points across and getting them to stick. Very much appreciated.
I just love how humble he is
6:42 White can play Ne7 and after Queen takes Black's Bishop is hanging.
Started watching your vids yesterday and I gotta day you will most likely be my #1 chess UA-camr/streamer, keep up the good work, appreciate ya!
someone asked me to teach them chess so im reviewing your older videos. Dropping a comment as sacrifice to the youtube algo
Hey Gotham, been following for years. I am sometimes struggling to come up with a plan and this video is highly underappreciated (seeing how you now make 500k to 2m+ views in a couple of a days
at 3:35 he could move knight on b1. He said " Knight is trapped." but still he is really good
cant move anywhere useful. just going back
When you say: "A few moves later", this is where I f*ck up
It's nice when each of your pieces that you want to use in your mating attack can move to an unattacked square. I'm seldom that lucky.
9:37 when I saw this position my immediate first reaction was Ne2 followed by c4, looks like typical Kings Indian position but with white
You and John Bartholomew are really good at teaching chess. Great work.
I was low 3000mmr on dota 2 now im 5400
I was silver on cs go now im global elite(highest rank)
I’m now ranked 800 on chess.com, im gonna do what i do and train on it and try to improve, im gonna post videos of chess aswell.
Chess isn’t like csgo and DOTA or any other game for that matter improving in chess is extremely hard don’t even dream of getting above 1600-1700 without some studying and memorizing but well gl
Can you speak little slow? It’s difficult to follow with the technique for novice people like me...great job in explaining btw
Thank you levy... Pdf was helped so much❤❤
Thank you so much for all these informations
I once sacrificed my bishop so that he takes the bait, and i take his pawn with my pawn
My pawn was blocking my rook from a clear path to a checkmate, he took the bait :)
The vedio is great but what the advice you give us to make a plan and make it easier on us
Thank you Levy for this video
Very clear and superb advice. Thank you.
bring this series back please
I found this video very useful, thank you. I'm 1400 Fide and am always struggling to find a workable plan.
Sometimes I stick too hard to a plan and find that I have no more pieces left. D:
I love this video,,make more videos of this nature please
Levy , these videos are quite helpful , thanks for lending us your knowledge , thanks again Brooklynite
gracias por su expertize y ensenarnos como mejorar nuestro juego, he apredido mucho gracias por comppartir su talento con nosotros
Me being an absolute beginner, really loving your videos, youre probaly getting to be more known than Carlsen :p . I also find it very useful to play 30min games rather than 10min games. Having time to think the moves thru and not making big blunders like I do all the time in 10min games. Thanks for the great tips and videos!
