Hi Gotham. I know you probably won't see this but I wanted to say thank you for EVERYTHING. I got into chess in 2020 and tried watching a lot of chess channels but not one was suiting me. I was stuck at about 400. Then in early 2021, I found your channel. Since then, I have gained 1000+ rating points and I am now over 1500. Thanks for providing such awesome content. Keep Rocking!!

@@JohnSmith-ck8ef It depends what kind of internet you have. My "friends" have ddosed me before and sometimes it stays up relatively good, but most times it just crashes everything for a bit. I don't think he got ddosed at all though, i think it was just lag.

[@dumbeldore9067]

​@@TirianSoverignif you are that stupid , you can only blame yourself

[@PiercingSight]

In Game 1, I don't get the suggestion to take the pawn. Even Stockfish says Bd3 is better. Taking the pawn is dang uncomfortable for white, because after the chaos, the queen can't come to g4 anymore, and it releases all of black's locked up pieces. Leave the tension or let black take first, leaving their pieces locked up, and you get a much more comfortable position. I think the subscriber in game 1 made a good choice there. PS: Congrats on 1000 videos! Thanks for being such an awesome chess teacher and content creator!

[@Philopantheon82]

Congrats Levy, your videos were really helpful not just in me getting more into chess world but also to be entertained in all sorts of ways!! So thank you for the incredible efforts making these videos

Kd8 has to be the most nonsense move I've ever seen. What was that?😂😂

Congrats on your 1000th video! I loved game of chess since my childhood when my father tought me how to play it. And I was always a bit disappointed that this great game is not as popular as it should be (in my personal opinion) but in last couple years I've started noticing much more attention brought to it even among regular people. I think you're doing a great job, and glad that your channel exists! Thank you!

24:06 That king move was actually logical,cause the white knight could fork the rook and king on c7

[@mrdoggy8801]

To anyone wondering, this looks more like a DDOS (Denial of service) attack against the stream. DDOS happens when someone purposefully sends too much information to the server for it to handle, causing it to 'crash'. Fortunately, these attacks are quite harmless.

I have like 200 games where I play like black does in the first game and I also have 1550 rapid. I hate studying openings. I wouldn't have taken on g4 to help white get their queen out in front of my king on an half open file, but every other move by black was absolutely possible. I think you underestimate how many mistakes people in the 1400-1600 range make. And how little some people can be bothered to learn even basic opening theory. Congrats on the 1000th video and your general success. I think it is well deserved.
