[@WaswereRS]

Levy doesn't understand that the average 1200-1300 plays like a 1500 one game and then a 1000 the next game, as a 1300 I can confirm that. His viewers are also going to send in their best games (which inversely will be their opponents worst games) so its going to skew to the opponent looking worse than they actually are

Hey Levy if you’re still taking suggestions for content, an idea for a stream could be a “crowd control” speed run.

Hey Levy! The 5th game is nice, but I'm 1300 and played chess in school where we had a coach so we needed to learn this mating pattern, so hint for the future-there are some players like me who know these ideas but never really studied chess after age of like 13 so we are stuck at levels 1200-1400 but know the basic endgame strategy

[@josephmozena7640]

This is exactly where I'm at. I have a bunch of fragmentary knowledge from when I was a kid, so I'm actually pretty good in a lot of endgames, and can push towards them when I see opportunities to do so, but I make dumb blunders in the middle game all the time, and end up having to come from behind a lot.

So, for those who are wondering about the like to dislike ratio, recently, Levy has gotten into chess drama with an Indonesia cheater (Dewa_Kipas).

4:25 I agree. I've seen this relatively often and I was in a position like this before. When having two people with a close or a same elo, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are equally good in chess. (Quick story alert): When I was younger I used to play a lot of chess and tournamens (in real life, not online) then I stopped for a some time to concentrate on college. After a while I started playing online and I just rushed through the rating, continuously winning till I reached 1800-1900 elo. Many 700-800 rated players though I was cheating cause I was defeating them brutally, but I was just better, I already knew chess theory quite well beforehand so I wasn't a beginner when I started playing online. Now I go up and down with my elo like 2085 to 2130 and something like that. Anyways, I just wanted to say as I pointed above that if two people are rated the same, it doesn't mean they are equally good. :)
