Even if you make a mistake and lose a queen or rook, you can still comeback and win if you don't panic especially at the lower levels or in rapid games.

you should do a video with hikaru with the queens and kings set on the board the way a lot of people think the chessboard is set up with the white queen xraying through the black king and the black queen xraying through the white king. it would be cool to hear you guys talk about all the drastic changes to the opening this creates and maybe some advantages or disadvantages for the white or black pieces as well as some stupid attacks and threats. idk

As an intermediate player who studied the durås gambit for no reason at all during my own time, i honestly find this very interesting. I really didn’t expect a couple of whites moves early on, and I kinda like how you went with it.

And Gotham sacrificed... THE HAAAAIIIIIIR! Gaining a huge advantage by confusing his enemies who expected him to keep his amazing hair that was positioned so well right on top of his head. What a brilliancy! Stockfish doesn't like it, of course, but we know it knows nothing about chess.

i've only looked at the sample of the endgames masterclass but already with 4 pawns and a bishop against knight bishop and one passed pawn i took the knight with bishop and opponent took back with bishop giving up the passed pawn and they had no chance with bishop vs 4 pawns

5:45 "can i take with the bishop: "proceeds to move bishop knight-like"

This is part of levy's evil plan to make us drop Elo because everyone high rated doesnt watch his videos so while he keeps us low rated, he gets revenue in return. Absolutely brilliant.

He isn't wrong though. Based off engine evaluation it is the worst first move for white, on the board against real players it would depend on your theory and your opponent's elo and prep

This was a great idea, and it was good to see how strong middle game skills can make up for any inherent draw back to an opening.

В дебюте Гроба надо после кажого удачного хода кричать: "Задвинул! иначе магия не сработает))

Levy, idk if this is redundant but as a regular free chapter user on chessly, the endgames masterclass has soo much material in just the free chapter that it's making me wish Icould buy the rest of it. It is Absolutely amazing and the best course yet, the way you explain it and drills make it an effortless process to learn endgames for free. If this doesn't get people to use chessly idk what will.

Well, I played in my last game the doubled beaver claw (a5 and h5) and developed the pieces with the cow, and still won the game by checkmate. Everything is possible at my level of 1300.

You've yet to play my special opening - The Dram as it only looks good after copious drams of whiskey. The set-up of the Dram,, if allowed by black, sees a position 1. nh3 ... 2. g3 .... 3. f4 if possible 4. nf2, 5. Bg2 6. d6 7. O-O. I think my inebriated brain thought the knight on f2 covered the light squares so i could exchange my light squares bishop for something. What? Can't remember.
