Levy doesn't have a loud ego. He has a personality. There's nothing wrong with you liking direct information without any jokes or personality but don't call it "ego". Being in front of the camera for hours and pretending you have no feelings or emotions isn't for everyone either. :D Also there's tons of chess tutorials on YT where it's all theory, no play. There just not as popular I suppose

@@jeancena3556 My trick 1) Was discovering that once upon a time I was okay at chess and reached 1600 back then 2) Being scared to play again because I'm bad now Hope that helped More seriously even in the 1500s if you just try to have pieces on reasonable squares and check that you aren't immediately hanging a tactic mediocre endgame play is enough to do pretty well. The first part is easier said than done because your opponents are probably all around 2500+ puzzles and have decent tactical sight but not losing to tactics is the number 1 thing to work on.

I love how you go into detail while describing your thought process. It's very helpful!

At 42:56 do you think if you took with the knight attacking the queen, instead of the bishop it could have potential created the check fork with bishop to C3 after a2 pawn takes on c3 .Even though once you take with the knight the queen can move up, just a nice curve ball I thought. What do you think? Also thanks for this content, my understanding has increased tremendously!

Its a risk losing your knight or a bishop when he finds queen d3

This is excellent advice and a good guide to solid thinking during a game. Thank you for making it and I will definitely watch the rest of the series as you go.

I’ve lost track of the number of games I’ve won with the Legall’s trap shown @ 2:00, even against higher-rated players, that I’ve come up with a checklist (for white): 1) is your bishop on c4 (or b3)? 2) is your knight on f3 pinned by black’s bishop on g4? 3) is there no black knight (or black pawn on c6) guarding d5? 4) does only the black king guard the pawn on f7? Finally: 5) is your other knight on c3? If the answer to all these questions is, “yes”, immediately and without delay, move Nxe5!! If the answer to any question is, “no”, continue developing normally.

This series is suuuuper helpful!

Great class! Thank you!

I just absolutely learned a new concept all together when watching this video, thank you!

Wouldn’t it be better to take with the knight at 42:50 ? Because if pawn retakes then the bishop attacks the rook and the king at the same time

loving these

Excellent explanations

These are so instructive! thanks for making such great content :D #

finally a speedrun from you! thanks. can't wait to see your advises/ideas for my rating range 1700+

1:37 You can take the knight with the queen and woukd still get advantege with the interchange.

This is a good series! Up there with Danya’s in terms of quality!

Subbed for the elo climb. 👍

Wish I can like this video a 1000 more times! Best series ever!

Starting with Legal's Mate? My favorite mate! This will be a good video.

What a awesome awesome video love the cool video

How are you drawing arrows and highlighting squares?

Your speed run is the most realistic. These are the players i have been playing for months, stuck on around 590-650. I have finally moved past it again.

In game 6 would pinning the knight to the queen with bishop g4 be a good move? Then you don’t really have to worry about the knight capturing?

I appreciate you take the time to teach instead of just seeing how fast you can get to 2000

The Légal Trap is called Seekadettenmatt in Germany it comes from the Operette "Der Seekadett" where it is portrayed with living chess pieces; I played the trap in a Tournament once. ^^

I really love this series! It's very instructional.

at 11:46 how come castling wasnt an option mentioned in order to stop the pin on your knight and defend your pawn on E5? Is that not a good move compared to the others

The national master pretending like he doesn't know queens gambit theory for these 200s is hilarious

at 11:58, why not castle in this moment? it frees up the knight and e5 pawn is defended by both the knight and the bishop. so we have two defender against two attacker.

"Knight on the rim is grim" I love that! 27:41

Please make a video of What do thing due to playing bullets and blitz games We didn't get habit of brife calculations. Or habit of instant move without deep calculations. Especially for tournament practice Usually we play Rapid and classical tournaments.

At 42:56, why not take with the knight first, then when they capture with the pawn you recapture with the bishop and fork the king and rook?

In the 18-19 minute mark when the enemy pushes his pawn from b7 to b5. I was thinking about the move pawn to a3 to counter the upcoming pawn to b4 from black. I'd like to hear your opinions on this move

I can't see why at 2 minutes the k cant goto d or f file, avoiding mate?

43:00 what about Nxc3 bxc3 Bxc3+ with a fork?

21:14 black Queen to a5 pins white knight at C2 to the King , black pawn to B4 threatens white Knight , if knight moves to avoid being taken black pawn can then move to b3 putting the white King in check and takes the white queen on the next move or queen trade ?

26:04 why not BxG4 there? You would take out the enemy bishop and create a solid attack line towards the enemy king? Am i missing something?

@augustus218

10 ай бұрын

Maybe he didn’t want to trade the bishop for the knight

42:50 if knight takes would this be a fork on the king and rook?

do you use premoving

Idea for next video. How about this time every move you spin a wheel with yes, and no. If it is no, nothing happens. But if yes, you have to spin another wheel to see which piece you lose. I hope this will be in your next video!

1:00 I go nxe5 sacrificing my queen 👑 on d1 for MATE

Am I missing something? At 2:27, how is that going to be check mate? Couldn’t the Black King take the Bishop? And even if the King moves to E7and White Knight moves to D5, couldn’t Black Queen simply take Knight? Thus undoing the check? CONFUSED.

i think at 43:00 that Nc3 would have been good bc it also attaks the queen and forks the rook if they take the knight and if they take bishop you can take queen. correct me if im wrong. ;-;

I really want to see this guy play against Anna cramling😂

Why not fork at 28:30 with the pawn?

Did u not notice that in game six where u had a double attack on the knight with a bishop and your knight if u did knight takes knight pawn takes and bishop takes there was a rook fork

15:05 is straight comedy 😂

That game against so dumbtk was so funny when he didn’t notice the checkmate 😂😂

2:30 why can't the black king can't move to d7 to get out of check?

15:08 Nelson remembering what level the game is. 😂 But tbh a lot of opponents (and surprisingly many moves) have been rather solid at this level so far.

I saw that checkmate threat at 12:41

2:17 Ah, the Rosen Gambit Declined.

42:58 What's wrong with capturing with the knight instead of the bishop? Wouldn't that win a rook due to the King-Rook fork?

and what if they dont take the knight and instead take your bishop or play another move? your knight would be kinda trapped, but it could just go back to where it was previously.

new haircut much needed lol

Also knight on the rim may be grim, but in a fight it doesn't need the light

This is the area of were my level is so its essential viewing😊 although i am rapidly improving

13:19 what is a weak checkmate

The disappointment in Nelson's voice when his opponents blunder is palpable.

@42:47, why didn't you took the knight with your knight instead? You would be threatening the queen, so if they capture your bishop, you take the queen, but if they capture your knight you fork the king and the rook while taking the pawn.

guys tell me why he didnt push the pawn on d5 at 41:33

42:58 what about knight takes pawn takes bishop takes with fork 51:00 you missed queen fork e4

Does android have game like this ?

31:05 Cool players play this Bishop b7 mate.

You are the jgod of chess

petition to call the triple fork a trident

At 43 minutes I would have taken the knight with the knight instead of the bishop because if they recapture with the pawn you now have the bishop to take the pawn and fork the king and rook in the corner and since whites dark squared bishop hasn't moved the queen can't re capture the bishop after you take the rook

12:05 man nearly died

Please add Part Numbers to the title! I know this is going to be impossible to watch in a year or so once this gets long enough 😢.

43:09 Take with knight then recapture with bishop wins a rook no?

After Sire de Legal

Nelson: If you can do two things with one move that's a good thing. Me: Hangs a piece and blunders checkmate in one move.

I just need to play more but I get so into it I absolutely HATE losing. But it's part of the game. Any game really.
