I appreciate him saying it’s hard 1400+. It is definitely where is starts to get rather tough and you rely on your tactics and opening knowledge, not just your opponent pulling a botez gambit.

Hey dude I just gotta say by far the most helpful thing in helping me win has been stopping at critical moments and imagining how you would react in the situation if you were using that moment to teach me, you would sneer and be like "and just look. LOOK. Look at how disgusting this move is here." And you would do something so simple that I would overlook it and it just wins the game. Your smugness and appreciation about the cheekiness of chess has greatly helped my winrate.

I love the way he talks about this level "It's tough at this level" "people ta this level have put a lot of time into their chess" It's like an IM is complementing my game, haha. Love it

This series is so great. It's one thing to be told strategies, but even better to see the thought process as the game goes on

im obessed with getting better at 19:07 this is my recent issues at the 1600 level that one wrong pawn move loses my advantage then game beyond frustrating... thanks for all this content i went from 1000- 1600+ just watching you eric and ben...

Merry Christmas to you as well! The engine analysis after the first game was very instructive as during the game you gave your thoughts and reasons so when it came time to check against the engine I was able to follow. Really amazing how much weight in the first game two pawn moves carried: -2 losing pawn move early and then later another single pawn move would have allowed equalizing! Delightful and instructive game. Thank you. 🎄🎁

I always thought Levi was so well adjusted for being a chess genius...then I saw him freak out about a fly.

Merry Christmas Also, I forgot to do this yesterday... Day four of telling Levy that he is the best chess instructor. Also as a 1400 this was very helpful.

Hey man, appreciate these daily uploads, I'd be great if you could make a video on subtle things like using bishop pairs, exploiting position disadvantage of opponent and more such things ❤️

Opponent plays exchange French. Me: it is tricky Levy: ohhh it's disgusting and boring Me: it is disgusting and boring

Impressive Teaching because Levi gets You to th point of Understanding that there is always more to Learn & that is Genius!

This is the best series. I've already commented this on the first one, but it needs to be said: Strong players playing blitz vs 1000s is pointless, it's just a clown fiesta. This clearly shows that 1300, 1200 don't blunder every second move and we can actually learn to build plans and strategies. Absolutely amazing teaching, it's great to hear your thought process! Keep them coming!

6:29 That message in chat got me messed up. Wtf

I like the look of the Leningrad Dutch defense in game one, looks like a kings Indian without all the shuffling required for the e5 pawn break

That benevolent part around 46:45 was surreal as hell

hey, thanks for making these videos and offering clean quality content. Its very helpful and obviously, entertaining. 👍🏻

Yo levy happy holidays this year sucked but I at least got into chess and your videos are nice

Dude something about that whole "Merry Christmas hope you're all doing well" was just so freaking adorable.

Levy, thank you for being my KZread Coach! I've played since I was a kid taught by an older friend. I always lost to him, and I always lost to the best player in my middle school chess club. Lol I never knew any strategy or defense setups I just played. With your videos I've gotten way better in just a couple months. I picked up a Chess Players Bible from the library to study Openings and strategies more in depth. I can't wait to play my old friend so I can get my long-awaited revenge for the hundreds of times he beat me! Keep creating great chess content!

I kind of agree with OP here. It would take Levy way less time to export the PGNs and post them in the description than for users to have to go searching for these games in another platform. Even if that's easy enough to do, it could get confusing if Levy's played the player a couple times or like if we don't know the dates they played or which game was the one posted here or stuff like that. Just so much easier to provide PGNs of games IMHO. Takes seconds to export, post, and import.

"Finegold cult member "=o)...he is a very unique person. His humor & sarcasm is an acquired taste kind of detracts from his chess knowledge. Yours, john Bartholomew and Daniel naroditsky are some of my favorite chess vloggers. Thanks again for all you do to help improving & understanding chess better

Learning a lot through this series. Thanks Levi 👍

love this series

What would be very instructive would be if you played the "balanced game" on chess with people lower than you so you just start less material. That way you can show how to win when behind and how to cover the loss of the material and also teach your opponent how to take advantage of a material lead and convert a winning position.

It's weird. I thought that it was stupid that there was a Leningrad variation of the Dutch, but I've never thought twice about a Berlin variation of the Spanish.
