This! Make a series out of it by covering every skill level! And expand it by doing it in classical chess too! :D Maybe end at super GM vs GM comparisons. Like, what sort of decisions are critical in the games of Magnus, for example. I feel like this format is a great way to illustrate what the nature of the game is at levels higher than our own. I suppose it requires a very keen understanding of the game to be able to distill it in such an instructional manner, so maybe super GM videos are too tall an order...

when i was around 1300-1400, i played an 1800. we were pretty equal in the opening, then I lost one pawn to a mistake. then two, then three, then my position fell apart. I didnt even make any stupid game ending blunders in that one. we traded down to a couple pieces and pawn endgame and I just got obliterated. that would be the same difference here. if the 1000 doesnt straight up blunder anything then itll end up somewhat similar to my game with that 1800.

that would be the game i (black sicilian, very open) just played against my brother (e4), where he got too aggressive in the middle, and I outflanked him by pinning a knight and a queen with an xray check from a bishop + queen as backup. He could've forced a queen trade with a little sideways move, so his bishop could join in the defense but he took an irrelevant knight instead. It's like he's working towards danger levels but without realizing his own peril.

I don't think I agree much with Levy's points often though because the reason we all won't take the pawn in the center is because we just don't know a proper follow up and we aren't prepared for counter plays that's why black only took the center pawn when he was absolutely prepared to

There should be a whole video around countering openings...unless it already exists
