I'm 1200 rated, there are definitely many games at this level that play these tactics. Levy really should've played slower once he realized how solid his opponent was setting up his position. Honestly I'm an aggressive player that loves the Vienna gambit as white, but when black shows they play solid and understand the threats, I retreat from the natural attacking position that that opening wants, and play much slower and start doing waiting/defensive moves. Playing as black I almost always play the Caro and play slow and wait for my opponent to make a mistake, or at least I try to keep the position safe and equal.

@@starmorpheus In terms of probability, the probability that some with ~2400 Elo beats a ~2800 Elo is way higher than a ~1100 Elo beating a ~2400Elo. If i trust the Elo calculators, you have around 10% chances of beating an opponent who has 400 points of Elo more than you do, whereas you only have 1% of beating an opponent with 800Elo points more than you (i don't have the percentage for a difference of 1300 but you can easily guess it's way smaller). In terms of ability i also tend to believe that an IM is closer to a GM than to a 1100 ELo player. The gross difference in terms of game comprehension is not THAT big, it's just that it's almost impossible to reach the GM level. Just like if your maximum running speed is 20km/h and you're running against someone whose running speed is 22km/h. The speed difference in itself is not that big but it does not mean that you will be able to run at 23km/h someday.

I'm currently just under 1500 for context.

A suggestion for making chessly the best it can possibly be is having a "boardstate search" function. I imagine it like: you have a board, set a position and use a search botton that scans all the chapters in courses on chessly that have that position and shows them. If you have the course you can click and go to it and if you don't own it it can appear with like a lock symbol. I think that would be next lvl qol

Sharp openings are ones that have a lot of tactics, and both sides can get hurt real bad if they don't know what they're doing. Dynamic is basically the same thing. Solid openings are ones that have no real weakness, but don't really test the opponent too much either

@Tc-nu8cu

sharp openings cut down the board with pins and long range pieces, solid openings smother you with the entire army, and dynamic openings usually refers to a gambit. Sacking of a pawn or enabling a doubling of pawns in order to get an extra tempo

pretty sure at 8:56, moving that dark bishop to h6, then e3 will be mate if the 1100 doesn't see it. the only moves i see can prevent that would be king to f2, blocking the light bishop, or some other move that defends the e3 square. other than that, the square was pretty undefended for the most part

in the first game, I calculated the move that he won your knight exposing the rook, but I saw there was an in between move (not to move your bishop coz then his rook moves) that the rook was on the back rank, so knight takes knight and then disregarding the queen threat you first take their rook with check, and only then move out of the way with your queen, not losing on material as much

Do you think you could beat Hikaru if you could watch the eval bar at all times (but not the moves)? I'm curious on how much it'd matter to know the computer evaluation of a position for high rated players.

54:25 what about knight a5? Wouldn't that protect the bishop while being a discovered attack on the queen?

Hi Levy, would you entertain a possibility of a poll on what next opening courses you should do?

i used to lose to 1100s all the time but i traded my beats by dre for some beads by hans and tripled my elo 💪💪💪

It's so funny when levy calculates a bunch of different options and then after going over a trap he can set he asks, "What is my opponent thinking about?" as if there's only one move to play lol.

On game one near the end I’m pretty sure you could have just promoted. The bishop kept the king off of the square it needed and moving the pawn up one cuts off the only other square the king can move to protect that promotion spot

What happened to that 1100 is what happens to me, I can get a completely winning position on a much higher rated player and then just lose my mind at the end and lose.

It's very encouraging to realise that even the best can occasionally make careless mistakes. And thanks for showing us!!

Levy’s beads must’ve slipped out on the first game.

Hey Levy! This truthfully is something that I just want to state. PLEASE DONT TAKE THIS AS HATE. I love your content. Here is why your analytics of “win at chess” is worse by a long shot of your other content. So I teach martial arts to little ones and there is this concept called “command voice”. During your recaps and your guess the elo, you legit bring the energy to the table. It’s not that the content is any more or less interesting than this, but your delivery makes the difference. Look at how Danya’s speedruns still brings the energy to the table. You turn into a completely different human. Your voice gets monotone, your brain functions nonchalantly, and the energy just lags. When I teach the kids, if I do not have my commands sound like a command then it will not pass as a command. It’s the same context here: command your audience energetically. Example: *monotone,thinking voice* well if I allow queen f8 I’m just gonna get checkmated How to fix: “well if I allow queen f8 then I lose the game, let’s look at this variation where I still may be losing but it looks promising” I hope you are having a great day, still love your content. Keep it up and keep it confident when speaking.

Yes, I will totally sub to Chessly after that first game

Oh god did I miss this series

11:07 i have a very important question, isnt a5 just a decent/good move here? I can't seem to figure out how else White could move that wouldnt be good for black
