@Andrew Stewarts 1300 rated players blunder mate in one all the time

[@gustavogoesgomes1863]

It's possible that it was just a natural blunder, as people in this rating (like me) tend not to think much about mating ideas as they almost never appear before the midgame if you are playing openings that you are used to. And, also, it tends to take too much time off from other calculations and very rarely pays off (I even stopped playing blitz because I couldn't improve anymore because of that, lost a three move mating sequence yesterday because of time trouble and it got me really pissed)

[@thedoophus]

as a 1300, this is like a revenge fantasy for me watching Levy just emasculate the same players that make me tilt on a daily basis

[@tayk-47usa41]

same because you know they make bad moves but not how you punish it properly :/

[@MsNotorials]

It would be a revenge fantasy for me if that god-like Sicilian player didn't absolutely decimate Gotham. Sadly, my chronic nightmares of 0% Sicilian winrate will always haunt me. F.

My level jumped dramatically when I started looking for pins, traps and sacs. Even at the low level, players look out for forks and skewers, but they almost always miss pin opportunities and sacs for winning positions.

[@SyRose901]

Right? I'm not even 1000 on Chess.com but I have a very nice win with a queen sac, where I either get my queen back and continue or instantly take all his pieces for a queen. I was very proud when I found the move.

[@gmo0o]

I like to check your opponents rating 3 years after these videos and all of them have a few hundreds points more but not FrostYM(1400). This man probably wanted to prove himself and went all in after your disappointment with his opening and now his Blitz rating is 2500 and its been like that for almost 2 years now. Love to see it

Levy, I enjoy your videos and I appreciate the commentary laced with good humor. I have learned a lot and I would like to see similar series based on other openings, alternating from black and white.

[@dark_tracker]

That Reinhardt reference was snuck in nicely! Haha love some ow

[@raycostello4230]

27:23 Instead of moving the rook over to f8 why wouldn't he play nf4? He either gets a rook for a knight or gains a full knight.

[@DeepFriedOreoOffline]

I am sure people have said this before, but I was playing a game and I just accidentally came up with a great analogy. An opponent making a weird play, sacrificing a piece to damage your pawn structure early on. It's kind of like a paper cut. It will sting and bug you all game to look at it, but ultimately you're up a piece and it doesn't really do much.

[@ChallHatt]

[@Soulthief-rw9fj]

at 36:29 black could had played Bd7 followed by Rd7 Kd7 Kh3 xh4 xh4 g5 with at least some chances to hold the endgame tho white is probably still better because of the past connected pawn on e5

white captures Rxd7 taking out the defense, winning a free bishop.

[@microitos9754]

If you want serious improvement you have to play classical. (At least) 15 minute game once or twice a day and analyze without an engine to see what you missed. Turn on the engine at the last moment. Do tactics daily and positional understanding is extremely important in chess. There are alot on chesstempo but there are many fascinating videos by a chess coach youtuber called ChessCoach Andras and he has a series called ”Amateurs Mind” where he explains many things people mistakenly do and what to do instead.

In the black lion game, after you took the pawn on g5 with the bishop he could have saved himself with Nxg4!! And after Bxe7, Ne3! He is doing ok

[@OSDisco]

Hmm, white could go hxg4, be a pawn down but not get forked. Also what about Qd2? There might also be other tricky stuff in this setup. By the way, did you notate your own move brilliant?lol

[@christianneisler2962]

Omar Sheik lol

[@gavincrumley9305]

At 14:05 or so isnt taking the b7 pawn better because it attacks the rook and the queen you take the rook when he plays bishop c6 if he takes your queen you take his and you're up and exchange
