That's true! I also want to thank Levy for those great lessons of chess, last week, I went to a tournament in my city, just to have some fun, and surprisingly I finish first without a lose. I beat stronger players that in my dreams I could think I'd beat, because I found great moves and ideas inspired by this great channel. I have had a great time watching and learning, and having fun!

I doubt you'll ever read this but this series has been the MOST helpful outside of your openings and strategy overviews. I've gone from 800 elo to 1200-1300 in the span of a monthish just from really buckling down and focusing. I'm also verbalizing similar to how you do which REALLY helps me to think out my positions. I'm 35 and I doubt I'll ever be able to reach GM level, or even IM level now, but I do want to compete in my first tournament in the next year or so.

[@galosalvadordiazandrade1283]

The first game is a example how a low rated player can play a really good game, without actually cheating. Just doing natural and human moves and with a little of luck.

[@joshuabarnett7128]

Game 4 was so helpful! Yesterday I failed to convert a similar winning position and rage quit. I've been plateaued around 1400 rapid for a couple months so thanks for the instructive games!

Levy when he sees people blundering pieces in guess the Elo because they’re trying not to waste time: you can’t be blitzing out moves you have to look for checks captures attacks Levy when people spend time thinking because they aren’t an IM who can see every piece interaction within a second: you just have to move even if it’s bad
