Nobody is a republican in nyc because they all left due to failed leftist leadership. One of the biggest exoduses in the country if you're not including california, which has an even more concentrated leftist leadership. You're in for a surprise in a couple weeks, along with your clown friend pakman.

Or maybe people are leaving cali and NYC because the cost of living has been steadily increasing as a result of the high demand for property in the area (Cities are where the jobs and people are)? Couple this with COVID19, Trump's failure (over 210k dead, countries with less warning than us, like South Korea have fewer than 1000 people dead), where living in a city isn't as in demand due to the rise of at working at home. Even though the 2nd point contradicts the first, it checks out because the cost of living hasn't updated to the drop in demand yet. Also while it is possible for Trump to win, 538 only has it at a 13% chance. This is a 538 algorithm which is updated to account for what happened in 2016. Just looking at the numbers though, Trump's chances are extremely grim and his only way of winning is if the voter suppression the republicans are going for works or by disputing the election to the courts. Right now, according to the polls, even if Trump wins every single undecided and 3rd party voter, he still loses the election (268 electoral votes to 270). Trump is polling behind in every single battleground state except for Georgia, where he holds a 1 point lead (statistical tie). In 2016, Hillary never polled above 50% nationally, and never held a 10 point lead over Trump. Biden currently leads by 10 points over Trump and is polling 52% nationally. Even if Trump wins, that doesn't mean the polls were "wrong". 13% chances do happen all the time though so it doesn't mean the polls were wrong if Trump somehow wins. The whole point of the polls is to get a statistical average. I'm sure you wouldn't feel safe to press a button labeled "13% chance to die".

After much waiting my favourite rating climb is back. Let's push that queen's pawn and roll for the win! 🙌🏼
lol when Levy says hes racing to 100k subs and 1 year later hes at 1.25million. Never a more deserving and fun content creator out there and on an amazing and rewarding topic to learn. CONGRATS!
levi:"Oh i hung a pawn i cant believe it!" *Me who hung 9 queens* "here we go again"
how did you get music to play for stream but playback to youtube without music? did you have a mixer in OBS and choose when to record or are you able to stream and use that vod and mess with audio after?
I've been playing the London for a few years and you've taught me some new ideas! Thanks, Harry Potter!
Another variation time:- 9:13 Nxd5, Bxd5, Qxd5, the e4 night d6 bishop and a8 rook is hanging. Also after Nxd5 if while plays a random move like h6 then Bxe4, Re8, Ne7+, Qxe7, then u win both the bishop and rook
More of this! More climb videos!
58:34 ehhh well. i just watched your games against hikaru where hikaru was missing various pieces and whatnot. im inspired by your confidence

Could you do a video on why it's important to control the center of the board? I understand the basics of how the game works, but I'm not fully clear on why it's so critical to fight for the center.

I’m really good at puzzles, I don’t miss force mates usually (#3~#4) but i always drop pieces before getting to midgame and I have trouble setting up early and keeping my pieces open particularity when playing black. Any advice? This goes for you or hopefully any of your kind and intelligent viewers. Should I just start studying openings? Thank you guys for any help or advice you can offer

How is it going
I watch on KZread only because I don't really have stretches of time to watch streams, but I am more than happy to join Twitch just to sub. I am a big believer in supporting content that I enjoy and watch every day.
I am not a consistent player due to illness occasionally just kicking me in the face. But, even when I am not playing my best, my scores have considerably increased on the bad and good days just by remembering little things you say on your videos. Also, before watching your channel, I never spent much time learning openings at all. I pretty much only queen pawn gamed or french defensed, I never thought I'd enjoy gambits or would even know what a English System was.
What program are you playing on to make this video? Is it on chess.com or is it your program?
Levy will you play a rating climb with f4? Ive been playing the bird lately and want to see what your ideas were!
I love your videos Levy! The way you explain things is just so crystal clear.. Every time I watch one of your climbing the ladder videos I win my next 7-8 games straight just cause I see the tactics.. Then I revert back to my Pepega brain and drop back down to 1250 😂😂
Great video! A couple questions though... The rook can take more than one piece (two pawns) on a row in one move? Time: 8:11 Also I noticed you moved Rd8 to d7 and then R to b7 in one move like a knight? How? Time: 7:47
''it doesn't look like there's a mate there''... Freaking YES !!!! Mate

on 11:29 there is a tactic, take the queen and than after he takes your queen - Nc8+ and than take the rook
that 10 min timeout slap on the wrist was epic. Levy +10 rep
Hey Levy, while doing this rating climb please have a game with the Sämisch Variation/English attack/Yugoslav attack like structure against black KID with opposite side castling/attack. Also, show us when do we need to respond to the opponent's pawn storm and when to ignore and start our own attack. Sometimes I just start a premature attack and get destroyed in the Sämisch which I considered somewhat similar to the Yugoslav and yet I find a bit tough to play against black due to the semi-open c file in front of my king after long-castle.

@@leadnitrate2194 I don't see a relation between rating and playing specific opening, unless we're talking a complete beginner with no knowledge. Sure, it'll happen someday. But for that very specific request to be met during this climb, it's better to talk to opponents. Via discord, for example.
38:18 This is simply the plot of "Man Bites Dog," a 1992 mockumentary film
8:04 Bh3 and Re6 was checkmate and the only way to stop it was Nd4 exNd4 and give a knight for a pawn
34:54 what would you play if if the opponent goes Qb6 and offers a queen trade to prevent Qxb7?
i feel like here (59:19) it would have been a faster mate to just push pawn then swap to the c file if he drop knight on e6 no?
38:52 should have moved Knight to G5 to protect the C8 square

Why is it not technically called a Catalan opening around 1:22? It's exactly what it is a Catalan. It's just you transposed into it.. White adopts a combination of the Queen's Gambit and Réti Opening: then plays D4 and C4 and fianchettoes/catty-corner's the white bishop on g2. Moves - 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.g3, Transpose - 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.g3 d5 4.Bg2, According to wiki geeky.. Black has two main approaches to choose between: The Open Catalan - he/she plays ...dxc4 and can either try to hold on to the pawn with ...b5 or give it back for extra time to free his/her's game. or can opt in and play The Closed Catalan, Black does not capture on c4; his/her game can be somewhat cramped for a while, but is quite solid. The Catalan is generally seen as a safe way for White to get a small advantage. except when played by IM Levy then it just kill's anything that moves. lol
Excellent point about proving yourself wrong in chess.
