[@ReconissanceMa]

Working on the 2000 grind myself. I think at this level everyone is obviously very competitive and sharp. 9/10 they will play for a win and will play very aggressively. However if your play is solid, you can use this to your advantage by being patient, exchange when the time is right and by allowing them to over extend and risk their stability in the pursuit of some grand attack. They could even be stronger players than you, but that won't really matter if you make less mistakes than them.

Levy leaves the tactic on the board for like 4 moves then when he spots it says that sometimes he likes to give his subs a lil help then falls for it anyways, truly one of the chess players of all time.

Watching these videos gets so much cooler if you analyze every move with the engine while theyre getting played cuz you see things that levy doesnt see. For Example Levy NOT promoting after his opponent doesnt take the FREE pawn 32:25 (they were very low on time tho). The engine got wild in that last game. The Eval bar went up and down every move.

[@robinmontgomery9160]

This is by far the most useful Gotham content in my mind. The 6-700 videos are too simple, players just fling pieces into fire; tournament recaps are too complex, with the razor thin margin of a mistake being near impossible to identify without engine assistance; Guess the Elo is good but games trend toward really good or really bad, and feedback tends to be more reactionary But Win at Chess, generally with 10 minute games and time to talk over the thought process of each move, is the sweet spot.
