All of my stocks just went up literally the second this video started. I can now retire early. Levy is truly a master of his craft.
Just stocks? Or are you invested in MFs, REITs, etc?
Self-Righteous Ideologue Stocks only
This video has changed my life. My wife likes me now, I got a raise at work and they made me President. This video will solve ALL of your chess and NON-Chess problems!
Yeah. Before I watched this video, I was just an ordinary and unknown kid in the class. After I watched this video, I became the cool kid and everyone knows me now 😎. Thanks Levy
Why the sarcasm? Am I missing something? Lol
@@brandonthomas642 i know right
Brandon Thomas it’s called being an idiot
sounds like you work at a bar or a library
Harstem + Levy is the crossover everyone dreams of. On a real note I’m a huge harstem fan so I was really taken aback when I heard him mentioned in this video lol so cool that you guys know each other.
Holy shit make this a thing that would be the best crossover episode since bojack horseman and Mr peanut butter
Bro same, when he said harstem my reaction was "NO Fing WAY"
Timestamp? I skipped around a bunch.
Damn Levy Rozman is so generous here and being calm
Levy Rozman now: Random Noob, Chess is not the game for you, Boozoo etc.
He knows how to entertain people on the internet
He figured out where the money is
I'm still hanging a piece on move 6. What should I do?
Levy youre my favorite chess content creator, your videos are super educational, helpful and entertaining. Keep it up, much love :))
Thank u Gotham chess I gained 100 Elo rating from watching your course
great video man! I watch your streams regularly! love the content and these instructionals are brilliant! it's hilarious the personality change between your instructionals and your normal streaming!!!
As a starcraft 2 player and GM twitch chat individual, I appreciate Harstem to raid and you saying his name so youtube can appreciate him. I hate protoss, tho.
Zerg OP. Serral and Magnus overrated
Honestly, thank you very much for making these instructional videos. They have saved me a lot of tears
40:06 probably stream sniping. "That's not a good move, should have castled" - okay, starts castling by hand.
Wow, Harry Potter is a wizard on the chessboard as well!
:)
that's wizards chess
He's not though. Ron is.
Nice how a 2300+ IM has to fight for the win against 1600 players. Im trying to improve from 1400 rapid on chess.com (10min games) but a little error and already is dificult to win.
Levy deserves more subscribers
Yashpal Deodas Yes hes great
I've learned so much from your videos,, thank you I'll do as much as I can to support you,, keep up the good work n loved the name Gotham guide
I was suffering from clinical depression and selfharm. Then Levy's guide came out and now I resign after hanging pieces instead of cutting myself.
hope everything gets better
Did we miss 1500->1600?
i was wondering this as well. maybe only twitch got to see it
In the last game white basically got a polish opening position where black played the two worst positional errors. Allowing b5 with tempi, and not having c6 to then challenge b5. I used to play the polish with great results, nowadays nc3 and e4 compete to be my main opening, but 1.b4 is super easy to learn, has tiny amounts of theory, and is super innovative
Ok
Dude these video are amazing I climbed to 1200 within a couple of weeks watching these
Wow, Harstem coming in hot with a spicy SCII raid. That's actually super cool
An archipelago (the emphasis is in the 'pe' syllable) is a group of islands, not a big island.
Your content is entertaining! Keep it up bro!!!
Thanks Levy
Dude, such great instruction. Tons of thanks
23:46 interesting time situation
45:02 he was actually said xclam 🤣
Nice format, thinking aloud helps us idiots! :-)
Love the biker roar, what chapter you in Levy ?
Nice video and nice idea. Really useful. Thanks. Watching from Moscow
Great games i hope i can play like u very calm and thinking fast
Thanks levy❣️
Will be great to see 1080p
At 2:48 What if white played pawn to G5? Attacking the defender of the bishop while also guarding the knight from the queen. Sure that woud have won material, no?
*edit: I checked it with an engine and yes, g4g5 is the best move for white and puts white at +1. This Levy dude straight up blundered.
Congo well white is +1 though. Not that ok. He just missed it.
Very Instructive ! Thanks!
43:24 "who's getting to my king? WHO?"
Levy in a later video: "who's attacking who?"
2:35 Bh5 so if he takes he open the king you go Kfxh5 and then the queen is threating the Knight + the king later on
After knight takes, opposing queen takes knight sadly
@@spookykamara8125 ty i knew there had to be something i was missing
@9:15 , 38:00 e6 b6 setup
Wouldn't it be kind of more fair if you took some extra time to play the moves? I meen some real 1600 rated player wouldn't play the good moves that fast always. Your probably winning anyways but like this it's an additional time trouble for the opponent
Yes an island is smaller than the archipelago good reference
O I love this videos. More 1400 please.
at 9.04 you had check mate :D
Wow, excellent content! This is precisely how chess should be taught.
5:14 knight takes f3 is winning
5:49 why would you trade queens when yours is in a much more valuable position rather than take with the rook?
Just to have 2 rookschade at the d-file.
51:05: "I can't lie"
Me: "Hm, have we met somewhere else? Do you also like big butts, by any chance?"
Idk if I’m mistaken something but why not take rook @ 15:12?
Gotta love me some harstem
50:18 why levy says things like that, i mean i had no doubts about that except now iam confused
Levy love your videos so much!!! But why is your channel called Gotham chess, not that there is anything wrong with it?...
At 2:40 why not g5?
15:53 what If you move Th6? Forcing the Queen sacrifice against a mate?
i suffered from depression until 14:40
Nice
Sounded like a dodge hellcat.
Harstem!!
Hastem raid. POG.
Where you looking from 50:00 to 50.21, looks like you are watching into the engine on the second screen, because all the game you watch to the left screen. Im just courious, don't want to accuse you cheating
49.32
His camera is just placed on the left of the monitor.
16:17 would it not be worth it to trade his queen for both of your rooks here? EDIT: nvm lol
I think I'm stuck around 1200 because I'm naturally sleep deprived and have a problem with attentiveness I don't see much of a way around that.
Excercise more!
Pull a bong & drink a strong coffee
Harstem!!
Isnt rook a2 on 1:07:00 losing? Cause it unprotects the rook that's pinned to the pawn thus losing the bishop.
I was wondering why it says GMRainz but he is rated 1755
thats his username
Watched.
Here from the SC2 crowd
Levy changed
I started of as a 500 having never played chess before and now I’m a 2400 GM in just four weeks.
i started yesterday without knowing what chess is and how the pieces look like and today i am a 2800 elo super GM. Up your game.
Hmm
@@andrejristic4956 S U S P I C I O U S
No you didn't
Where can I find your e6 b6 course?
23:04 can someone explain me what is this move? How is it possible?
Google en Passant, its a special rule in chess
Im just a begginer so i hope someone answers this; min 15:54 Rookh6 doesn't just force the oponent to trade his queen for the rook?
there's rookh1 from white
@@imlazy7145 Ohh, i see. TY!
Lol CHECK
me watching at 1590:
47:30 what if black plays h4?
Giving white a chance to counterattack with Qh5+ i suppose.
36:06
This 1600+ guide got me off drugs and reconnected me with my estranged father. Thank you Gotham Chess
How?
@@sjegannath6295 Obviously Frank won his father's approval on the chessboard.
Still theory...
Estranged
Then you went home to your one room apartment above a bowling alley and below another bowling alley
My kids went to university because of this video. My dog resurrected.
Thanks Master Levy
😆😆😆
Why the sarcastic comment everywhere
Levy: 'It's better to be up two pawns than one pawn, usually'
Me: Writes this down
Lmao
Do remember its usually , not always
After watching, now I know all I need to do in order to win a chess game is to just outplay my opponent.
Having started just a month ago at 600 rating and being 1100 now, I can say these videos are the primary reason I made a 400 rating jump in the last couple of weeks lol, I love them dude.
you mean 500 point jump? lol
@@andrewpennell7920 there was a reason he was 600 😜 jk

"How is he getting raided? I thought he just said the position was closed."
Nice
i cant tell if youre being sarcastic, but if not, he means on twitch
@@uwerlmi6120 it's an obvious joke, and it's hilarious.
what a surprise
how do yoou guys not know levy was exposed for human trafficking
I stumbled upon a gem with your channel, man. Shoked you don’t have 100k+ subscribers. Excited to keep plowing my way through this series!
Look how fast he gained subs its insane
@@VincWins777 what on earth, good for Levy, sheesh. I was actually watching a current video just now as you replied haha
@@joshua19238 nearly 1million now
1.06 million now!!
Now 1.31 million!
As a 1800/1900 on Lichess this stuff is really gonna help my game, maybe 2k is no longer a dream now :P
Thanks man
oh, that feeling when you are 2000 on lichess and 1600 on chess.com lol
so I watch this video
@@deeeema same
For me
Lichess 1900
Chess. Com 1700
@@deeeema It seems like people don't understand the rating difference between sites. Around 2000 rating people have already nearly equal ratings. Above 2000 chess.com may even have higher ratings.
Pauli I feel like it is my Duty to contradict you. I am a stable 1800 Player on lichess but im really having a rough time climbing above 1500 at Chess.com. Thats a random 300 elo gap. At least in my case...
what a nice guy, having himself down a material because the chat said
What was interesting about this episode was the fact that Levy played some really strong opponents and the win usually came from poor pawn structures costing them in the endgame.
Yeah, I guess that means 1600’s shouldn’t hang 1 movers any more yet I still do as a 1650 lol
Levy, the only IM who can check with the king.
nah, discovered attack is easy in endgames with king
This guy knows how to present his product. Very entertaining and informative everytime I see him. He maybe comes off a little arrogant at times but anyone who is truly great in whatever their field is has that mixed in with their personality. Pretty much have to be.
This video really helped my chess knowledge. I went from 1600 to GM in a few hours. Thanks Levi!
So you went from 1600 to 2400 in a fee hours how is that even possible
Mr rosman truly outdid himself with this video. my estranged father returned and reconnected with my mother, my enemies were vanquished, and I got away with tax fraud because of this video!
@@sha2labazel7aghatric it's a joke
didn't know Harstem played chess! you two should definitely do something together, chess and SC have so much in common
the best response go the london system is to just cannon rush with a proxy rax follow up with a checkmate
beating grandmasters with stupid openings
You can put more pressure by bringing SCVs and repairing the damaged hatchery and get ahead by spamming storms
Day 4 of commenting on random old Levy videos
At around 2:15: "loosey goosey". Levy is a Daniel Negreanu fan confirmed
Hahahah
Is Lucy Goosey in Levy's case
Dam Ben Finegold would shake his head all day at those pawns in front of the king hahaha
PVC
I finally reached 2000 in lichess after 1 year of playing chess. I got +600 points in 6 months
Just made 1500. First order of business is to stop playing and watch Levy's 1600+ lessons.

wut ?
Please continue this series but with a different format, for example 5+5 Blitz
Great video, especially when combined with your 2 courses, the e4 for white, and e6 b6 for black, which I recently bought for $80. I'm struggling with Blitz (I just panic too much with the time), but I'm feeling confident that if I can absorb enough of your 2 courses with this series of videos (they explain in great detail, how to calmly respond, and hopefully get an early advantage, and keep in front with the time), I should be able to get my blitz rating up significantly as this year progresses, from my current 1100 area ( :( ), up toward to 1300, 1400 etc.... to who knows 2000 in the future would be my dream ! Thank you so much for making these.....and free, wow ! you're a generous man
Glad Levy has helped you so much man, I have his courses as well and play alot of e4 so it helped me alot especially Vienna gambit!! I started playing seriously last year.. I was at your level 1200 and got to 1600, then I started playing the lines Levy recommended and I got to 1900 blitz and 2000 bullet, 1900 rapid, if I made it you can too.. all the best :)
Im maybe 1400 coming back into chess again. I remember back in the day when I played and 1600s were difficult. How do you make it look so damn easy lol.
Then again, I strive for complex tactical positions, and hardly trade unless i have to/theres a tactic
LoonTink You are the kind of player who helped me alot - I was at your level when i started and used to play very defensively with d4 setups, and playing and talking to tactical players irl and online they helped me improve alot and it was a paradigm shift for me to improve my game, I got to 1900 average. Thank you
Levy has the great advantage of knowing the theory.
57:30 Nice endgame!
I got to know u from THAT IM not GM tournatment and since then i havr been waiting fr ur videos. And here i am with full fledged Channe.. GOD SPEED BUDDY..
