Honestly really instructive and unique to hear the perspective of a top player while they’re bogged down in a game like that - rather than just usual “you beat 1000s by crushing them with GM level positional and tactical play” content that you often see and isn’t really beneficial.

My favorite part of this series is when he says what the best move is, but doesn't do it. I'm not being sarcastic, by not doing it, the game continues and further blunders and opportunities to talk about exploiting them occur, and then continuing not to play the moves. It's a forever cycle that is very instructive.

I really like that you play on the level of your opponent but I think you should play the best moves in the opening.

E. g. I get Bb4 often in the Vienna, but I do not know now whether Qg4 is your recommendation or just a 1400 move.

It shows that if you play according to basic chess principles, and consider those principles at every step, then you can win games at your level.

These videos are incredibly fun!

This has probably been suggested before somewhere, no idea is new on the internet, but it would be interesting to see a 'Who wants to be a millionaire' style of chess. Lower rated players get 3 power ups to help balance the scale, to maybe grant them a chance of winning (realistically very low odds, but not many people won who wants to be a millionaire either!). Maybe the number of power ups can vary based on the difference in elo. 1) 50/50 - The player is given two moves, one which is the top engine line, and one other move (that isn't something which is obviously a blunder) 2) Phone a friend - The player gets to phone his best friend Senór Stock Fish, and get the top three engine moves for this move only. 3) Ask the audience - Audience members vote on the best move, and the player can decide whether to play it or not. If they manage to win, they get some kind of prize - free code for Gotham chess course etc. Bonus points if Levy attempts a Chris Tarrant accent for the entire duration. Concept can be done with any kind of 'power-up' but better to have one with a theme (depending on copyright), and audience participation.

Levy: we're gonna play moves that are safe and sound. Also Levy: has all minor and heavy pieces on the back rank on move 11 Anyway thanks for this series! btw when I face the london I like to play h5 on move 2 to try to trap the bishop. At 1000-1400 players usually play 3. e3 whithout thinking which wins me the bishop after e5 and a couple of pawns sacrificed. The next plan is obviously a queen side castling plan.

I need a review of Kaiba and his step father gambling over a chess game to see if he gets adopted.

Second day in a row loving it, this format and GM matches covering are the best videos for me. Keep going Gotham!

Can’t wait for the next one. These have been super instructional.

against the 1400 youve played like more of a 1200, but thats ok it was still instructive enough, this series is amazing, thank you)

i like how you successfully distinguished between 1400 and 1200 playing, even more so, better than the guy teaching chess most his life

Again great moments. Thx. I have a couple of your courses and I find that it is hard to remember all the ideas dependent on what your opponent does. Your course has raised me from 800 to 1100 but now I have hit a ceiling where I need to go back to the courses and review them in more depth and try and get games in like exercising to remember what I am meant to do in a situation. Also definitely need end game skills. They suck:) Thx Gotham

Just want to say this series actually helps a lot more to learn with the "bad moves" actually getting played. To me it helps a lot more to understand why it's bad if you make the move and have to live with it so to speak

Ye

20:48 Im disgusted that Gotham didnt play Bh6 after Qf6. That was just an absoloute disgrace and not fitting of his title. I feel like Gotham doesnt take his opponents seriously and doesnt want to teach us actually good lessons with these kinds of "accidental" misses of tactics. I have thought about these things everytime i beat upcoming GMs (unlike Levy who never will accomplish this beloved and very useful title) and ive come to a conclusion. My theory is that Levy uses these missed tactics to hypnotize his opponents (one known as such is Binegold Fen his feared and known rival) he uses a psychological trick known as the "Lemi" (which was actually named after Levys Grand,grand,grandfather (on his mothers side) which was also known for his appearence in the known fairy tale of snow white and the seven dwarfs as the small and grumpy dwarf (much like levy)) which succeeds in making the subject very very dumb aswell as making the subject mentally ill ( i myself have been struggling with Lemi since i started watching Gotham and because of this i will open an charity for those who were affected by this psychological attack on the left side of the brain or as i call it the "Queenside attack" you will be able to donate to this charity which will make Gotham pay in form of a fine by a lawsuit in the near future (the funds/donations will be used for the lawsuit)). I believe this because we all see how Levy struggles in chess against higher level opponents (lol) and because of this he uses these dirty tricks to beat them in tournaments and in online encounters (couldnt be me XD LMAO). This is a warning to all people watching Gothamchess DO NOT WATCH GOTHAMCHESS! obviously since you clicked on this video you are already infected but dont be hopeless there is a theoretical cure that i have accomplished to find it is very important that you do this EXACTLY AS I SAY. Step 1: You need to follow Gotham on KZread and Twitch (this could make no sense for the average Viewer but i will explain further in the future) Step 2: Now after youve completed the "infection" part of Lemi, you need start the "cure". This part starts by subscribing to me the "curer" on youtube so that i can inject the "cure" into you (i know this sounds sus just trust me on this one). Step 3: To activate the "cure" and end the process you need to comment "Bh6" on this comment and make the cure become actually useful. Bonus: if you want to speedup this process you may donate to Gotham or subscribe to a prime/tier of your choosing on either platform (Twitch/KZread). (;

Just want to say I’ve loved these episodes and this series, I appreciate the content!

Man this series is so fun to watch

Heyy, I'm big fan of your content and owner of your beginners bootcamp. I love watching your videos, especially the ones aimed at lower rated players. They are super fun and very educational. I stopped playing blitz and switched rapid a 2 or 3 months ago with the goal of getting to 800 (i was 700 at the time) and some time way down the line get to 1000 I'm thrilled that today was the first day i got over 1000 elo on rapid! Never thought it was possible to achieve so quickly just wanted to a big thanks! Keep up the great stuff. Its very much appreicated!

Not sure you look at or get notified of videos this old, but really hoping to see more chess steps videos. Also hoping they get tighter in rating as you move up. Thanks for the content!

One of my favorite series. I'm rated 1273 and I'm finding this very helpful with showing what to do in positions where my opponent makes a mistake. Please keep up the good work!

New to chess, stumbled upon this series. Keep up the content like this, and you have a fan for life.

Loving these series, I'm just under 1100 and I'm laughing at the positions and your comments. Really helpful :)

I just finished episode 2 and wondering when episode 3 will be out! Thanks a lot for all this content.

You are such a gifted teacher. Amazing stuff!

It was really nice having out thought process explained while also having the mistakes explained
