hey levy, i started chess last december on my birthday, (almost 3 months ago) and dropped from starting rapid rating to 300 before learning anything about the game. after binging and learning from a lot of your videos and grinding a lot of games, i managed to go from 300 to 1000. i will continue to improve as a chess player and hopefully in life. i hope this comment encourages you to continue the creative outpour yet extremely educational content in your videos. i hope one day we get to play each other somewhere, sometime in the distant future (when i am better at the game).

[@OshineTheOranguTANK]

This video was actually really helpful for me because I often make these mistakes you're pointing out. I thought pushing pawns was always best but as you pointed out at 6:56 thats not always the case. I wish i would've learned chess at an earlier age, I had no clue how deep each single move can really be

[@cyriljose441]

Honestly, this is some of the best content you've ever made, and I've watched your content for years at this point. I've always struggled with analyzing my own games. I'm bad at translating stockfish evaluations into lessons, so this was super helpful. Please make more of these!

I agree. I improved my chess skills by at minimum 50 chess rating for blitz and rapid just by analyzing my previous games, my mistakes and good/great moves. I was stuck around 1100 for a while, now I'm bouncing up and down 1150-1250 range. Still a bit difficult but I think it's just where my plateau is at the moment. Analyzing works so well for beginners.

Levi this is a great video. "at this rating this was a failure you made" is a great concept. "This mistake is catastrophic" is a great concept. Go watch your replays.

[@Abstract_zx]

one thing i learned from alot of my games recently is that i need to spend more time thinking before every move, my rating recently went down by about 100 points in a few days and im bringing it back up now because i was making blunders often but i would end 15/10 games with as much as 10 minutes left on my clock, i ended a losing streak when i started realizing that when things are getting complicated i shouldnt be afraid to spend 2 minutes analyzing a move, especially when theres an increment so i wont really run out of time in an endgame
