Many people who play chess as beginners, intermediate, or advanced level will get stuck at the game and not know how to improve. I took 4 examples of viewers and showed them how to improve openings, tactics, strategy, and general mental game to improve.

Some of my takeaways: 1. Two games a day max 2. Do your puzzles (15/15 if possible, 60 percent is good, set aside an hour). 3. Don't do TOO many puzzles. Don't do too much. 4. Stick to one opening 5. Sometimes you need a break. Don't always be playing. Everyone gets tilted and that's okay, just gotta take a break.

Thank you so much, Levy. I was doing a lot of the same things as the 1600, but I'm starting to see quantifiable improvement from your advice. Cut back on empty games, stopped rushing puzzles, and tuned up my openings. Man, it is wild. I feel like I'm spotting way more tactics, feeling confident throughout entire games start to finish, and my puzzle rating is way higher than it has ever been by a huge margin. I'm a 40 hr/week manager but finding times for good, focused practice daily. I have been stuck around 1600-1800 for about 5 years and suddenly I'm absolutely crushing at my level. Waiting for a new peak!
"you're the strenght you were, you'r just underperforming" that's exactly what i neededd to hear, thanks you very much also on the topic of puzzles, i LOVE them, but although i'm at 70% pass rate i just can't progress because of the 5 puzzles daily limit for non-diamond users

This is really outstanding advice. I have exactly the same behaviors as Ernest (described in the video) and having the advice for him reinforced (for myself) is really helpful. I know I need to stop playing compulsively: when I'm tired, when I'm not attentive, when I'm not focused -- and I also need to stop grinding through puzzles when I'm in those states too. Thanks for this!!! I'll try to discipline myself to stick to fewer puzzles with more focus!

Hey Levy, just found this video. In 2017-18, I got hard into chess and was rated around 1100. I finally came back this year and have been stuck around 750. I decided to pick one opening for white (London) and two for black (Sicilian Dragon and Budapest), focusing on eliminating blunders and playing solid moves, and have gone up from 750 to 850 in the last month. I finally have my passion for chess again and hope to keep climbing the ratings.

I had been stuck at about 1100 for 2 and a half months when this video came out. I followed Levy’s instructions, started doing more puzzles, learned some openings that take my opponents out of my comfort zone and really stuck with them, and started analyzing my games, and lo and behold in the past month I climbed about 150 ELO in rapid and I don’t feel quite as stuck.

Nice for Levy to point out that taking a break might be a good thing. I had my first +150 point drop from +1400 to 1250 a few days ago and would've probably gone even further down if I'd continued to play in full tilt. After regrouping it took me half a day to gain back over 100 points.
Such a great video! Thanks you, I'm a student myself who wants to get better. Right now I'm trying for 1200 (currently 900 - 1000). The London system is working great but you are right, I'm not really studying it, so I will definitely start learning how to counter counters!
Good suggestions. It also applies to puzzle rating. When you see your rating falls,you always want to climb back and that time is most prone to mistakes.

Great tips. I'm going to try doing more puzzles and try doing more research on openings.
I also love that, not only does he teach chess, most of the things he teaches applies to life skills as well. For example, take a break. Many people don't understand that.
"You can knock someone out in 5 seconds" is Levy a fan of Jorge Masvidal?

Nice video man. Very well outlined. Won some tournies as a kid. Got to nearly 2100 after a long break. Took decades off and now I play around 1900-2000. I broke 2000 once or twice. I just resigned to the fact I won’t get higher without a lot of study. I should probably pay a membership for my chess com account.

"You dont swim before you swim" -Levy 2021
I started at age 9 way before the internet. I just played friends, but I did study a lot in my teens. I had no idea there was such a thing as tournaments back then. Then came the Fischer boom. I started tournaments at age 20 and played off and on for 6-7 years. My peak rating was 1905. Decades later I took up chess to teach my kids and now I coach in a school. Thinking about tournaments again and wondering if getting to FM is a realistic goal.
we are convincing our selves that we are studying by playing, that hit me like a slap to the back of the head, thank you!!!
I felt the examples were extreme excepting Levy’s own experience. I truly appreciated the info he shared about his own issues and how he overcame them. I’ve been stuck at the same rating for 3 years. You often see people achieve a certain rating and then drop back. It’s very common. Maintaining a rating is a different story.
"Quality before quantity", applies to my situation 100%. I'm grinding problems by the hundreds instead of studying them. Thanks for the tip!
Example 3 - really helpful, thank you Gotham
I have been stuck at 200-400 back and forth ever since i started. The past 2 days, ive gotten 200 more in my rating to 630, and even beat 1000 rating players, but lately, my weakness is just by timeout, im easily distracted in the real world or think too much while in my games, but still good tip video! Here is another tip, review your older games and check for mistakes, blunder and miss wins! Now i get around 60-80% accuracy!
Levy! I broke 1,200 on rapid (880 to 1204 since April 2020). I credit you as my unofficial trainer 💪Thank you for your content ❤️
Me:Finaly something to improve my game. levy: "take a brake"
First I thought the tile was insulting me because I read "Suck at chess?" And I was. "Yeah kinda..." and clicked on it anyway. 😂
Omg this video is a gem!! Thanks for the game/life advise. !Really!
Really great tips. I’m getting back into chess after decades and inspired to keep at it and improve thanks to your energy and insights. Keep it up!
"A book on the Caro-Kann made me love chess again." Why am I not surprised, Levy?
You ever got just such a high elo and get trasported to a tropical island from the comforts of your rainy window? Felt that
You are possibly my favorite chess KZreadr. I was stuck 1260 and you really helped elevate my game. keep up the excellent work 👍👍👍❤️❤️

I love how the thumbnail has him sad about 1100, and I clicked because I was stuck at 500

Such a fresh breath of air , love your natural and practical content!
3:59 damm 97.8 accuracy is nuts in a blitz game at 1200
I felt very called out by this video. Made a few changes (more puzzles, slower puzzle solving, 30 minute games instead of 10. 3-5 games a day max [I was doing 10+]). Had 3 games in a single day with no mistakes. I genuinely feel that this has helped get me out of my rut. Thanks, Levy!
Unbelievable! thanks Levy love from Dublin... I'm just at that point in my chess life now at 46 that, that advice is absolutely perfect for where I'm at. Thanks man your my new favourite, you've taken over Varuzhan Akobian by a long shot, no easy task.
This is one of the most informative chess videos i have ever seen.
I remember when I started out I was at 540 Rapid Rank and then I went down to 300… I was frustrated! And now I’m at 640 rank, I consider myself an okay chess player but I’ve started taking chess more seriously, I got the Modern Chess Openings book I watch videos almost every day, and I noticed when I watch a chess related video and play a game I do so much better!
Earnest does 4 puzzles a day taking about a minute total, but this Gotham guy 'Don't do this! Way to many puzzles!' 😂

I dont think he saw that.
I actually red : " Suck at chess" , and was like, that sounds like a great video for me.
Priceless advices, thanks for that. What books would you keep next to your chessboard if you want to improve your Italian and caro-kann game ? And would you consider semi Slav or Slav defence as a good black answer to d4 ? Hope you will read my comment 🙏
Levy... Really appreciate for the honesty bro. This video is heart touching with your story ♥️💪
My new years resolution is to get good at chess, this is like my 4th/5th attempt at trying. Been watching your videos this time round and they are really helping and making the process even more enjoyable. Thanks Levy, you're an absolute legend. All the best :) x
13:20 "I slept chess" whoa Levy, I know you said love to the game, but let's not go that far...
Just downloaded that book. You should do a video on what books relates to chess you recommend or liked yourself
Very instructive and good advice, thank you levy
