Please make more videos in this format man, its super instructional while being interactive that it doesnt feel like a lecture! Also an interesting deviation from typical instructional content which is more about typical theory/strategy rather than on the topic of one's mindset you've discussed here today. 💯🔥🙌🏻

Keep putting in pauses for us to think and analyze. As a person who's worked in, and studied, the field of adult learning, it absolutely makes your instruction more effective. Great stuff.

I is a good player. I is currently 849. I is watching this video to get better at chess. Why is you watching this video?
Hands down your most well made, instructive and useful video I've watched. I feel like it served a lot more than just pure entertainment or a basic overview of a few fundamental concepts but really thought me something that I can also apply in my own games. Great stuff man, keep up the good work
I really liked the "interactive" format, pausing to look for the ideas was a really good exercise and definitely fun. I also liked that you used examples from real games you played, it helped add to the storyline of each example.

I'm 1550 and this video is amazing, the a4 vs g5 example is phenomenal due to the fact that everyone finds a4, but when questioned by the eval bar we all notice g5-g4. Like GM Ben Finegold once said "the key to becoming better is seeing the tactics against you" It's not necessarily about finding your own tactics, or setting up your own tactics. It's just as equally important seeing what your opponents tactics are. Human beings will never make a move without some sort of intention whether it turns out to be good or bad.
This is gold. Very instructional. Complete with real game situations. Thanks Levy!

When I was first learning chess I played VS a 1200, we played all day everyday for about a week. I only beat him once but I could hold my ground for about 30 minutes per game and he said that even though he won it was almost never easy. The reason for this was that I only thought about what he wanted and tried to prevent that. I forgot about how powerful that can be. Sincerely, thank you for this video mr. Gotham 😊

Same here except not a 1200, at 300 elo i used to always think about my opponent's moves, and focus on the enemy side rather than my own side, but now i started focusing on my own side more than enemy side and i'm 970 elo, the moment i mix the both maybe i'll climb up to 1500
Please make more videos like this. Your how to win at chess series is the reason I became a sub and still watch everyday. This is on par with how to win at chess. I love GTE but this is the content I’m really here for!
As much as I like GTE and other types of content you bring on your channel, for the sake of variety and to satisfy different types of viewers, obviously, I think this is what you do best. Very useful video, never thought about it that way. Thanks Levy! P.S. Yes, a lot of us are interested in getting better at chess, please do more of this!
I love the interactive format and I love the intermediate chess lesson that goes beyond tactics, but actually gets you to think about the game on different levels!
Im 1600+. This was a really good video. I learned something today. I’d like to see more of this in the future.
Levy I really do love the way you teach and how its so clear and straight forward. You also made me realize that the games in which I do my best, are games where I actually took a second to think about what my opponent wanted. Thank you
I’m always thrilled when there’s no tournaments happening so Gotham switches back to educational vids.
Thank you Gotham when I first started watching you around 2 years ago I was 600 elo and now I am 1300 over double in two years I know you probably won’t see this but you’ve helped me out a lot. I know how common it is to make jokes and write meme comments on these videos but they are genuinely extremely helpful thank you so much for your help for chess noobs and veterans alike.

I enjoy this kind of content much more. Great video. I also hope to see more Win at Chess, rating climbs, and all of that. Also, like I always insist on, endgames, but I suppose you're going to be covering that thoroughly in the chessly masterclass
Great video, what goes hand in hand with this advice is to play slower time controls. I usually play 3+0 because it's more exciting, but if I really want to get better I need more time to think on each move

10+5 is the best
@mango7753

@@MaxIronsThird I prefer 10+0 or 10+2 for rapid (or 25+5 if it is open otb tournament). For blitz, 3+1 or just 3+0 is good. I highly recommend people to play rapid controls first before playing blitz or bullet. In blitz or bullet, you are just making random moves with barely any time to think, and you will never improve if you are playing blitz or bullet as a beginner (only play it if you want fun). To actually become good at chess, you need to play slower time controls and learn what are the best, most logical moves. After you get around 1500 elo, you can start playing faster time controls as you know how to think quickly and make logical and accurate moves that don't require much thinking like in rapid, but also aren't moves that you played when you were a beginner.
@efulmer8675

I almost exclusively play 10+0 because I find it more fun to look for the pattern and find it in the position or evaluate the endgame and win by force, or realize I made a mistake and find a good defense and keep playing down a piece or down an exchange into a draw.

I play 10/15 and try to spend 15 seconds on a move and in the past month and a half I've gone from 300 to 1100 rapid
This was so helpful! It's so obvious and yet so difficult to actually put into practice in a game when the time is running and there's this urge to just make a move quickly. But through this vid, i understand how it rlly doesn't take as long as you expect to just take those few secs to understand your opponent by asking the right questions. Definitely more of this please!
Just a really great video intriguing and thought provoking and usual Gotham class, so good I don’t want my opponents to see this! This point Gotham is making is the crux of the matter and why I enjoy the slower games which allow the true strategies to formulate in my head. I used to play chess with some guys and they could never understand why I would help them during games I wanted to win through great play and defence and counter play and thwarted attacks generating new exciting complex positions. I’m slowly getting to the level where I can really enjoy my chess. Thanks again Gotham.
Thanks for this sort of interactive lesson.
These types of videos are incredibly instructional & valuable, Levy, please do more if you can! 🤞🏼

I enjoy watching you play games and chatting, but an old-school instructional video was EXACTLY what the doc ordered for me. This was fantastic, Levy, thanks!
Loving the lecture and your delivery style
I really enjoy the interactive format.
Really like this one! Very easy rule to remember, but very hard to implement. It feels like a rule for strategic play similar to the rules of tactical play, where looking for checks, captures and threats is the number one thing to to. Thanks! More of this, please.
great video man, everybody stream while playing chess but there are only few who teaches and explain every move. love such content
Just watched this video. This is GOLD! Can't agree with you more, seriously. I'm horrible at getting into my opponent's head and that's been the main reason why I lost most of my games. I need to work on that sooo much. Not sure if I will be able to do that some day but you're absolutely right. Thanks so much for your content. Really enjoy it. PS: I love your accent. You speak soooo clearly.😁
i think that this can be a good thing to learn even at beginner levels, thinking ahead always gives you some sort of advantage. i think that having this sort of videos once in a while is going to be very helpful.

Great video. I once heard the saying " The most important difference between a grandmaster and an advanced player is the ability to read the opponent's mind" or something like that. Definitely agrees with the topic today.
Please make more educational content like this. I love guess the elo and stuff, but these videos are the reason I am subscribed to your chanel.
Amazing format, thanks. Please do more (maybe a lil series)
I love the instructional stuff. The best are videos like these that give you broad general concepts to think of when staring at a board, because I struggle with chess conceptually like this.
More of these kinds of video please Gotham, this is really helpful for all of us lowly mortals. 😊
Certainly loved today's video. As a 1100 rated player sometimes I am just so oblivious to my opponents strategy it's crazy😭. So I would love for you to give these sorta tips🙏
Make more of these videos. It was very informative
On the second example I literally said to myself "normally, I'd play a4, but based on the premise of this video, that's definitely not it". Goes to show how instructive it is. On to watching the rest of the video, much love, Gotham!
Wow, Levy really working on his ventriloquism to make the intro interesting, great work man
This video is a gem, we need to thank Levy for this video on stream, unbelievable stuff!
19:26 lololol I own 7 of your courses. I've finished half of the karo kann and half of the middlegame masterclass. This concept will help me drastically in being clueless about "who is winning," which the middlegame masterclass course has revealed (that I cannot tell...). Thanks!
Yes, I like instructional content of this sort. You are great at story telling and great at teaching. Thank you!
I'm 40 and spent many years teaching. You possess the ability to articulate the core idea of what you're focussed on vastly above the majority of teachers I've worked with. Impressive mate. As an ultra ADHD kid, your speed works juuuust perfectly for me. 😂
Great stuff! Had fun with the pause prompts and trying to figure it out. I think I got only one or two right but that’s why I watch.
Loved this video! I think it's really important to see the game through the opponent's eye. And its a massive fundamental skill to anticipate the opponents plan. Please keep making these type of videos Gotham! xD
I thought a different finger was up in the thumbnail
thnx to you, got from 1350 to 1250 in 1 hour :)
This type of video is very useful and appreciated. Keep making these kinds which emphasize important principles, not just tricks, traps, and clever strategies.
It seems like puzzles reinforce our natural flaw to not ask what the opponent wants. Even at the 2200 level, puzzles mostly involve tactical attacking sequences. Defensive puzzles would be a great addition.

Todays stare was longer than usual, but still magnificent. 10/10
At 12:27, I did tunnel vision on the hanging bishop on c7. I thought the best move for White was to play b5 himself. Rc5 looked to me like a one move attack before Levy explained it.
4:49 the best move for white is h4, preventing g5. If white allows g5, black will use his g and h pawns to break through the position, opening up White's King, and black will be winning.
