9:50 every chess game i play, i imagine being in a guess the elo episode and think - "would gotham humiliate the shit out of me for this move?". Lowers chances of blunders way more than you'd imagine.

Hello Levy! I have been a subscriber for over a year and I wanted to thank you for your videos. I had played tournaments when I was younger, and then had to stop to play chess to study. But after I turned 18, I restarted playing, teaching myself as a hobby. I could climb to 1750-1800, and now I'm 21 and I have just hit 2000 rating points just from the studying of your videos. Thank You very very much! Maybe you don't respond to many messages, but I hope you'll read it sometime.

The missed mate with a knight in game two was also a fork of king and queen, the dude with the white pieces could’ve accidentally checkmated there lol

problem with the traxler is that black actually rarely DOES know what to do after Qe7! So I'm actually 2/3 times quite comfortable playing against the traxler....as long as you know the lines a few moves more than they do, you're golden
