@@sethbushnell5051 Stephan is just a more of a shy/reserved person. He puts constant content out so I wouldn't trash him. Also Levy is an IM, so it makes sense that he is more natural with explaining.

Just a tip as a fellow content creator, if you put a 0:00 time stamp in the description, the video should divide itself into several "chapters". If that doesn't work, try putting it at the beginning or the end of the description Edit: I see that was fixed

The way he stops and waits for an answer reminds me of Dora 😂

Hey Levy I appreciate the lesson in pawn play and space :).

Enjoying the chess tips yes very much so and don't ever apologize for how long your video is your instructional videos are golden make them as long as you like 20 minutes 30 minutes an hour we can do nothing but benefit from your advice and knowledge

I was playing a game earlier where I blundered a piece but got a nice attack going. However he defended well and now he was the one attacking, I survived and eventually won the endgame after equalising because I used pawn play to keep his extra piece, a Knight on his side of the board for a few more moves 😊

5:32 the peter svidler-peter leko is a special game as u used the same move d5! as an example for initiative too!!

4:38 Look for center-shattering moves This was a good one.

Really clear and useful as always Levy. Thanks.

Great video again. thank you so much really helpful, I hope you can do a video one day of how can you become a less passive chess player and became more assertive player. keep the good videos coming

i watch this video alot, its very useful so thanks for that levy. also autumn is my favorite season. i can do everything i love, and the scenery is fantasy like

Good examples of pawn play including square, diagonal, rank or file clearance, restraining or security piece outposts, and advancing against the enemy kingside

Very instructive! Thanks for the vid.

My favorite season is summer. Thanks for the video Levy! Very educational :)

J'suis francais et tes videos me rendent un peu prêt pour me battre contre d'autres dans un concours. Merci beaucoup, le gars 😁

Excellent video. Thank you!

Loving your videos 😍 helpful indeed!

Levi’s been blowing up the past few weeks, love to see it

With pawn play, i always have such trouble with the concept of “winning on the queenside” when same-side castling occurs. Any quick tips or concepts on that would be super helpful :)

I was so waiting for this. Please make an instructional video on endgames too please Levy. Thanks for all the content. You're the best.

Welcome to the world of the visually impaired.

I was looking for a non-conventional and practical pawn play video for a while till I found this video ❤️

Summer is my favourite season and I like to watch Levy play chess on twitch during summer :smile:

Could you make a video about pawn moves in the opening such as when to use flank pawns and when not to and when to push a or h pawn? Would be really helpfull, thanks in advance!

Exactly the video I needed

Gotham, you are the most instructive chess channel on KZread. Keep up the 🔥🔥🔥 content.

If you're slow at catching on (like me), just set the playback speed to .5 or .75. This makes it easier to follow because he does run through it pretty quick. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Gotham!

great video thanks

Thank you

Started watching ur videos today after cat Gambit 😅. Whatever, these videos r really helpful. 💯.. I was having some problems with keeping track of pawns. It helped. 🥰

The best instructional video I have ever seen, and a desperate 1200 like me has seen a lot of them

Thanks man Levy

Super helpful thanks! Any tips for blitz and bullet games? I’m 1400-1500 in rapid and daily but I can’t break 1200 in blitz and bullet.

great vid thank you :D

You are are a legend ... legends never die 😀😀 thank you for these videos

Hello Levy ty for your videos, been enjoying your streams and videos a lot and gaining ELO along the way. Your comment minute 12 'no one is going to play h4' was something I didn't understand and I believe touched a concept I want to learn- hurting your own position to hurt your opponents. If h4 leads to a g file pawn exchange I understand it hurts your king, but does it not also hurt your opponents king position in the same way? Perhaps that exchange would not occur because another move makes more sense but the motif applies to other examples- I have my pawns positioned on dark squares making the light square bishops strong, when is it good to trade them? Alternatively in a closed position where the pawns control opposite squares would I rather have opposite would I prefer opposite bishops both biting rocks, to have my bishop same color as my pawns, opposite my pawns? And what would I prefer for my opponents bishop? After writing I suppose these are mostly separate concepts, the idea of when weakening both players is ok and bishop play. Hopefully these questions might give some inspiration for a future video, keep up the great work

Great video and streams

I'm going to enjoy it here! New Sub that would Greatly Appricate insight into defense Play against the London System. Thank You Much! ... Mike.

Cannot believe how much I learned about pawn play in fifteen minutes ! Brilliant tutorial/lecture. Thank you for your time and effort Levy. Respect.

An idea: Is there a way to practice typical positions that arise from specific openings? Like when practicing tactic puzzles it's all great but many of those I'll never ever get in my game. Then again when I play the same openings I get some typical tactical position and I fail to recognize it.... Does this make any sense?

More please

Christmas Season ! Eating good food! Please cover pawn breaks in Catalan, Benko and Sicilian Taimanov!

Hey levy love the videos. Do you think you could do a beginners guide to queen endgames? I am rated around 1800 and have been trying to improve my endgame play. I have no clue where to go when learning queen endgames and learning how to play them. Those tend to just be so different from normal endgames.
