This content is AMAZING! I cannot stress enough how well you are explaining situations and I love your style and clarity. Keep up the good work!

You sir, Levy, are an amazing teacher. You admit and acknowledge your losses and learn from your mistakes. But it's one thing to look back in hindsight and learn.... it's another thing to be brave enough to show your fans one of the worst games you've had. You either take losses very professionally (read: not personally) or you hide it well. Whichever, it helps you focus on teaching us, and it doesn't distract us from the lesson at hand. I've learned a lot from you. ...I'm finally rank 600. 😅😛

Alternate title: how to win pawns in middle game without trading

You have my respect. You use examples from your losses. You are more interested in teaching than feeding an ego. I subscribed.

Levy this is great. Each of the types of weaknesses needs its own video. Knight outposts, isolated pawns, backward pawn, color scheme weakness, knight vs bishop or bishop pair.

Target consciousness of weaknesses helped me improve so much, especially for positional chess improvement.

You're such a good teacher. Thank you.

These lessons have really been helping me in my games. I hope you keep them coming.

Not recognizing and playing toward my opponents weaknesses is a weakness of mine

Same. I've paused the video on Levy's first example and have no idea of the answer...still looking...

Great video, sharpening the eye to spot weaknesses. Looking forward to pawn play. Thank you!

Graat video Levy and very educational as always!!! I love the last example and I look forward to video on pawn breaks!!! Thank you!!!

That was extremely helpful... as somewhat of a beginner in chess, it's kind of hard to understand positional play. When I watch high-level games (there are many titled players just running around on websites that you can spectate literally whenever you want), I find myself not really understanding the logic behind most moves unless there's some very clear tactic involved and there doesn't seem to be that much documentation on things like this. Quite a lot more suddenly made much more sense after watching this, so many thanks to GothamChess!

This is wonderful. Finally an introduction on how to approach the middle game. The concept of thinking in weaknesses should be helpful! Thanks for the video

Wow! I've seen a lot of chess tips videos but this one was actually great! I never thought that colour scheme weakness was a thing. Thanks a lot!

This was a great video. Some weaknesses are very hard To spot. The way that your opponent best you by seeing that you couldn't defence your central pawns was crazy.

Very grateful for the numerous examples. I think the most helpful thing in chess tip videos is demonstrations of how to put knowledge into practice. Thanks Levy!

3:17 i think you mean your knight was attacking opponent's queen so your opponent took it by bishop.

I love the way you explained mistakes clearly without attacking the person making them. Especially on the games against subscribers. Definitely Subbed :)

Man, your channel is awesome! Great content, superb explanation. Im learning so much! Keep up w the great work! This Chess Tip series is opening my mind.

You're explanations are very easy to understand. Thank you

Awesome video, color square weaknesses are the weakest part of my game right now, I struggle finding them. This was really helpful

Wow, These Chess tips are helping me A LOT! Thank you!!!

3:44 that was awesome Levy 😂😂❤

Thank you so much Levy. These lessons are a huge support for a beginner like me. You're the best.

A very good lesson, crystal clear, direct to the point and not boring. Not just like other teachers here in YT they are just showing the game without giving the idea and they are just showing off that they are titled.

@@oldgods914 "agad and his audience is cringe" agad himself isn't and only a small minority of his audience is. You look at Levy's audience, you can see the same number of cringy scrubs. "Levy is a far better teacher" Maybe you think that because agad has rarely ever made an instructional video that is specifically for teaching a concept, or because he is the worse player, so he has less lessons to teach? "and chess youtuber" factually incorrect. 700k vs 26k subs. And I can guarantee you that if both channels started out around the same time, agad would still have more subs. Levy is better for higher rated players, agad is better for normal players which is the majority of chess fans. And in the real world, the one who appeals to the majority wins in the end.

My weakness is fail to understand the opponent's tactics against me for defending

Great video. I want more like this that helps us think about how to create and spot tactics that aren't super obvious. Thanks

In the example against GM Bruzon (8:07) if Nxe4 to open up the bishop on g7, rather than dxe4, White can trade queens while winning a pawn via Qxd5+ because after the Night retakes on d5 it hits the forking c7 square. There are also no other tricks with the g7 bishop. At first, I was not sure about this variation, thus I share it here. In the last example, after a minute or so, I identified both of the ideas he eventually discusses. My problem is in such situations I sometimes do not have the confidence to go with it (e.g. trading the bishop for the knight while opening the g-file for his rook is not an easy trade-off to assess for me), or take too long time to decide between options. When I see masters discuss positions, most of the time I absolutely get it, but in my own games trusting my evaluation is not easy since I am only 1900 or so. Still way too many oversights.

Really would like to see a more in depth video in opening systems, longer videos are totally fine.

Well-described tips. Interesting to see the examples from your game against GM Lazaro Bruzon; I had the opportunity to play against him recently as a part of a simultaneous exhibition he held. For a while I held my own, but then I blundered a rook and he easily outclassed me; I was proud to last 30 moves.

Wow. I just subscribed because of this video. Most chess teaching online is like move here and here because this here will want to move here so you're going to deny that. And I'm like..I get it...but I don't understand the whole picture. You totally helped me understand the board and position a lot better

I always wanted a content like this. Concepts simplified without focus on numbers much C5, B5, F4...

Love these 10 min vids, super helpful.

I never thought of this type of weaknesses...It opened up my mind...Thank you bro❤️

Hey man I love what you are doing and it’s rly informative, thanks!

That was so instructive! Thank you very much! 👍

Wild how much Levy has improved at explanations in just the last 9 months. Great video, as usual.

Your channel is great. Please keep up the work! It really helps

What a great video, teaching simple concepts to improve our play. Thanks!

last two examples where good the gm played beautifully thanks lavi please do more minute and cover more advanced topics good luck.

My biggest weakness is probably endgames and maybe also openings that I haven’t studied and aren’t part of my repertoire. I have a fairly limited repertoire. I love your videos Levy thanks for explaining stuff in such depth and making such quality chess education videos. They’re very entertaining and interesting

Beautiful concept! Just changed the way I view the middle game. Fear me! Thanks Levy!

A lot of thanks for making and sharing your video!!

Loved the video. Weaknesses in chess are hard to understand, but you explained beautifully with those examples.

I love that you show your losses you’re a cool dude

11:27 guys it's, it's the wooden shield

Last position you showed, I thought a better way of getting at the advanced white pawns was trading the knight on f3 (removing the defender) and then playing c5. Stockfish seems to approve of that method too

Very instructive and useful.Thanks a lot dear.

I paused the video and found d takes and castles long! Nice video Levy keep em coming.

It's kind of hard to know when to pause and solve. Love the content.

My weakness in chess it's the endgame, im 1600 but i can't stop losing completely winning or drawned positions in the endgame

The best Chess tutorial ever, you are doing a great job Levy.. Big fan of yours...

honestly some of the best chess content on youtube

Bf3 was super cool ! i wish i had that kind of vision.

Another great video!! You are really good at transferring information

Yo thx for those videos man. They help me alot

best chess channel thank you Levy

I keep stagnating at around 1200 because I'm really bad at attacking unless there is something really clear. So, when my opponent makes a mistake I can be brutal, but if they don't I just make too many "nothing" moves so I create my own weaknesses.

Keep making these type of videos

Thanks Levy. Brilliant video. I never really think like that when I'm playing, which explains a few things.

Excellent instruction, very enjoyable, thanjs.

I need to work on my chess visualization skills are bit more before I benefit from this lesson.

Thank you IM Levy, I was unable to figure out the weaknesses before watching this video. But now I am maybe sure to find weaknesses in my opponents position.

Good lesson. Thanks mate 😊

Marvellous! More from YOU!! Very insightful, although truly you are way ahead of me.

You are a brilliant teacher of chess. Enthusiastic and logical. The weaknesses lessen is so important and seldom brought up by other chess teachers. Thanks. PS I am a subscriber to chess.com. Does that make me a "subscriber." Wayne from CT

Levy I will subscribe after this one. Not only because you mentioned over 60% of KZread watchers aren’t subscribed, but the content is great! Keep it up

12:17 you're fkn kidding that i saw that idea i was so ashamed i didn't see levy's move as good and saw this as better cause it's less foggy and a bit more forced i think might have just made my night

you should make a series with this

Man you're helping me way too much

Awesome video! I've been doing this on accident for years. 😂 Now I know I should be doing this on purpose. Thanks Levy!

I think for now my weakness is not knowing how to engage a pawn break I always lose if there is no early trade.

when the first 3 examples you know exactly what to do and then the last example you had no clue what was coming :S

man i have trouble spotting weaknesses n. seeing my opponents moves before they make em... like thinking 3+moves ahead

my weaknesses is immediately trying to mate and overlooking

Me after the solutions: "Yea, I can totally see this" Me in a game: "Um, yea I totally know what to do"

8:05 this is my problem, i don’t have this vision that i can see the 3 or more moves that is gonna happen after so i can make plans

why is it that whenever I try to incorporate these ideas of blocking pieces, overdefending, I end up losing a piece? then I comeback and be ahead only to get mated in 2
