    The standard deviation on an ELO rating lower than 2300 might be between 60 to 85 depending on the historical strength of your opponents. An example could be like “the ELO rating estimated is 1858 with 95% confidence interval of 1667 and 2049. ” This means the “true” ELO rating will fall 95% of the time within the interval 1667 and 2049, with a mathematical estimated average of 1858.

    1500 is a long way off yet, but take it from me you can do it! Speaking as a now-1500 ex-1100. Biggest tip is to go through every game you play, especially the ones you lose, and try identify ONE thing you could've done better. If you blundered a piece, the maybe work on tactics. If you fell for an opening trap try to memorise the moves so you can avoid it. If you drew a winning endgame then maybe practise endgames for a bit.

I see the Qxb7 line all the time, but after you played it against me(even if it wasn't optimal) you finally pushed me to analyze that position out a few more moves, and I made a few friends along the way. Thanks for the game today levy, happy new year.

    Dear Gothamchess, During the pandemic I discovered your channel, and I was instantly hooked. I watched all your opening videos, progressed to the (hilarious) Guess the Elo and Win at Chess series, before discovering your recap videos and binging them. I followed your progress in OTB competitions back when you played, and discovered other chess creators through you. You re-awoke my childhood love of chess, and I catapulted to about 1600, a level at which was quite happy, despite the constant threat of hanging a piece on move six... I have played hundreds of games of the Caro-Kan, hundreds of the Vienna and dozens of Danish gambits, as well as several thousand games of everything in between. You are an excellent teacher and a fine commentator, and quite literally every day I would watch your daily video before I went to bed. It would be the constant in my life, no matter what country or situation I was in, your videos could always be a comforting balm to me, and for that I am very grateful. Many of your videos, especially GTE, I have watched several times. I have watched you change from house to house and haircut to haircut with amusement at your reaction, and seen the way that your channel has changed, from providing opening videos and "Win at Chess" to moving more towards entertainment. That decision, while slightly disappointing for me, has proved eminently sensible, and you have become both the largest chess youtuber and one of chess's most recognisable faces. Congratulations are unasked for and wholly irrelevant, yet I offer them to you nonetheless. But my personality can tend towards the obsessive, and I have unfortunately come to the conclusion that online chess is consuming too much of my time (as in, I can find myself spending hours playing rapid chess). Any attempt to rein it in would lead to recapitulation, and as such, I am giving it up for the New Year. Sadly, this means I must give you up too; your videos are far too compulsive, and they drive me towards chess. This merely means that you are exceedingly good at what you do, and I hope that you remain so. But thus this is the final video that I shall watch for a very long time. I have had such fun with you, and I hope that all that watch you can gain the same joy and laughter from you that I have. I wish you every good fortune into the future both personally and professionally, and I hop, when I come back to chess and KZread in the future, that I shall find you here waiting for me. It's been a blast, A C6 player forever.

    Dang, I remember when I started playing chess and this was one of the first video I watched. It took me a year and a half (been playing on and off due to school), but now I'm 1501 today :D Been watching your videos since December 2022 and my main openings are the Karo kann, kings Indian, and the london. Thanks for your teachings man 👍

    Not a fan of your style normally (feels over-the top, but I get it's for YT engagement), but clicked this in my feed. I love you walking through the thought process and keeping in mind what players at lower levels are likely to see, and how to proceed with that level of vision. One of the bigger positives of this approach is you have multiple instructive moments each game rather than winning at the first sign of a winning tactic. Nice video.

    Levy this is my absolute favorite content, please don't stop making these long form instructional videos like this for free. I want to buy a course but I'm struggling lately and just from watching your KZread this last couple years and casually playing 10 min games on my phone while watching TV my rating has gone from 600 to a bit over 1200. All from watching your content and playing like 5 games a day (that part is only the last like year). Now when I play chess on my phone I find myself pausing the show and being really focused on the game and unable to watch anything, so in a way you took away a casual hobby from me, now I can't watch TV anymore. But what I gained was an immense love and passion for the game of chess, and I'd rather be blundering my queen in a 10m rapid to watching some Netflix show anyday. Thank you Gothamchess. And have a wonderful 2023. Can't wait to see what it brings!

    1:01:20 You can crack you neck by lifting up the chin, placing your left hand, palm up, pointing west (left) making sure that the chin fits softly in-between the two bones at the bottom of the palm. With your right hand, place it on the left side of your head, a bit above the ear, making sure your arm is over your head like headphones. Then simply use your hands to turn your head so your chin turns anti-clockwise. Then repeat but with the opposite hands. Make sure you DON'T do it to hard or you will break you neck. Otherwise completely safe.
