[@aviary__]

Neiksans choosing the right games to talk Levy out of being greedy to win the game right away is amazing. He seems like a great coach, and the one Levy needs since he lacks patience and mentality, not knowledge.

[@Z-I-P]

Well put! I agree.

[@disruptor6550]

Yeah 100%. I think he's honestly one of the best coaches Levy could have gotten for this. Obviously idk much about the other high level coaches, but he definitely fits with Levy's needs.

[@lucifero8660]

Hearing the coach say "just enjoy this pleasent position" reminded me when Levy said "if u see mate in 1 just go for mate in 2, cuz its just like eating good food"

[@dimitriosdoulgeris4659]

I actually got mate in 1 today, but I wanted to use my queen, so it was mate in 2 because my opponent could prolong for a move by blocking with a pawn. Could have been a double-bishop checkmate.

[@darkelement2363]

This is basically the equivalent of a main character achieving his goals but this is more difficult

[@krismg_21]

Sooooo now opponent can pay levy to get his training? Amazing

[@ZeCroiSSanT950]

Exercises vs opening prep. Exercises are very generic, opening prep is very specific

I'm sure he'll hold back some actual openings he plans to use, maybe train on some more niche or really generic ones which are already well studied

Man, I am absolutely loving this series. I'm learning so much as well, especially this idea of sometimes there's no kill shot, you keep improving bit by bit

[@justrecentlyi5444]

Really enjoyed this episode! I particularly enjoyed the discussion of the 2nd game, around the Queen trade in particular. It seems that Arturs Neiksans has a different playstyle to you, and the discussion that that produces as you learn from him is super interesting. It sounds like he's going to be very helpful to you, and I look forward to seeing your progress over the coming weeks and months! Cheering for you!

[@wombat6]

About one thing your coach said. You can just improve your position slowly instead of trying to rush a victory. From another strategy game community, I remember the saying "when you're ahead, get more ahead".

[@subhankarbhadra781]

Levy be like I looked at this and it is so hard to sacrifice a central pawn, so I sacrificed a knight and a rook instead 💀

[@MrEDMeaner]

[@JGavzey]

Brilliant content. Really helps to see someone analysing their way through complex positions.

[@ryanreese2807]

I rarely comment, but I have to say that I have not focused on a youtube video like that in a long time. The grandmaster lesson was mind opening for me. A lot is over my head as 1300, but to gain insight into his line of thinking - LOVED THAT.

Neiksans is pointing out these issues and it's nice to see how these reflect even on my own style of play. I think many players are looking for the final blow and rarely do we assess the pieces on the board.
