For now, the Levi bot is only available for course owners to practice their openings. In the future we may open it up to all users. Levi is currently in Version 1 so definitely lots of room for improvement. Let me know how you like it!
More series ideas: 1) Win at Chess Gambits Edition - Win at chess, but only gambits allowed 2) Steamingrolling Subscribers - a series where you try to win as many games as possible in 1.5 hours, moving up the elo bracket each episode (500 elo, 600 elo, 700 elo etc.)
Thanks so much for bringing this series back! It's the reason I started watching your videos years ago and in all that time, I've learned a lot from this!
In 6:38 if white had played Nd2 then would have been bad because after black plays Nxd4 then white can not play NxBe4 because you have a night sacrifice by playing Nf3+ which is a discovered attack on the queen with your rook and white can not defend his queen because he is in check. In 9:50 white could have escaped the fork by playing Rc4 which would move his rook out of danger (the c4 square is well protected by two pawns so the queen can not capture) and black would be able to play Nxb4 and take the bishop because he would lose his queen. In 11:50 you made the right move, but I think that it is worth to point out that if you had played Be4 instead of Rb4, white would probably make a one-mover by playing g3 which would blunder Mate in one because that would allow you to play Rh8# and end the game. In 45:14 if white plays Qd4 then he just blunders his light squared bishop because after he moves his queen she is no longer guarding the b3 square.
I thought the announcement was him coming back to OTB chess tournaments. He mentioned it in the dual stream with Hikaru that he's been studying openings for tournaments.
I saw you interviewed on Lex's show so I checked out your channel. I love this video series. I have always wanted to see into a top player's thinking process during a live game. This has been so enlightening for me. What I particularly like is the casual way that you identify and deal with the various unknowns in a move or position. You think critically about it, but you don't sweat what you don't know/see at the moment. I realize I've spent too much of my chess life agonizing over finding "the one perfect move" in every position, and not appreciating the flow of the game.
@@celnazAs a #2 I'd say never ever resign, you can 1. Win the game, 2. Defend the game into a draw or 3. Cause a stalemate. Resigning is absolute defeat. A person should never resign unless it's a timed tournament where a resignation might save time and give you a better chance at winning the tournament rather than that specific match.
I genuinely believe that nobody explains the games better than you. I also enjoy watching the other chess channels but I always come back to yours when I really want to learn something. Keep up the great content 👍
I don't understand why the Scandinavian Defense is always advised for low elo, you lose a tempo after Nc3 and after 4 book moves, white is +1.2. When i was low elo they taught me to play the Sicilian D. Best counter for e4 in my opinion!
I think it’s because it’s a system type of opening, making pretty much the same moves regardless of what your opponent does. Also, it can be difficult to attack it when done right
I bought your book yesterday! Started playing chess at the start of the year, just reached 800 on rapid after 150 games haha! I'll 100% be that guy on my flight tomorrow reading a chess book. Thanks for all your hard work mate, never in my life did i think watching chess would be so fun.
Just gotta say, I have yet to test the chess bot, but I love the idea. I've been doing drill shuffle on survival to learn the Vienna and the Caro, and it's extremely helpful. Thank you for continuing to improve the service! Cheers bro, hope you're doing well.
59:47 Taking the rook isn’t bad when it’s +3 on material already. The queen will get trapped but you’ll end up taking the other rook too and be +4, albeit behind in development. Just need to get king side castled asap then.
GothamChess, thank you for your contribution to the chess world. I really appreciate the professionalism you put into every video you make. I would love to see you do a series where you face off against other chess influencers, and enjoy their content under the standards you hold this channel to.
Theres nothing I love more than Gotham making hour+ long videos. I would watch a 5, 10, 15, 24 hour long video. Obviously not all at once but the point is long ago I finished watching every video on his channel despite finding him years after he started making videos. Sometimes I just put on random videos I've already seen in the background just because I like hearing him talk. I've seen him comment on this multiple times like why would a mf watch a chess video without looking at it, which I honestly understand for new videos, but if you've already seen the video then it's nice to listen to content you like and are comfortable with. Especially if your main focus is something else. Anyway, got away from myself, point was please make more long form content. Whatever you make I'm gonna watch it multiple times through.
In the fourth game you could've played bishop a6 protect the queen if queen takes takes with the bishop and the rook can't escape and if he doesn't take your queen you take the rook and if he traps you, you block with the bishop❤⭐🎉♟️
Hey Levy, could you maybe make a short on how to checkmate with a bishop and a knight? I was wondering if there is any good pattern to it like there is for king and queen or king and rook.
After reading your book I gained 123 elo points in the last 30 days. I think the most helpful parts were the openings, and especially calculation. I make much less blunders now, and I am almost 1000 elo! I am now reading a tactics book to refine skills I learned from you. Thank you for the masterpiece :)
Title will soon be: “LEVI PLAYS MAGNUS CARLSEN VIEWER GAMES SUB BATTLE HANS NIEMANN VS. MAGNUS VS. HIKARU SUB BATTLE REACHES 1000 ELO NEW RECORD CHEATING SCANDAL CANDIDATES”
I just tried the Levi bot and it was helpful, I like that it suggests drills from specific positions as well. He played moves comparable to people at my level on the medium setting. He does make some wildly obvious blunders though but I guess people at my level do that sometimes too lol
as a 1450 I'd say i like Rec8 more and that was the first move i saw along with Bc5 (46:07), reasoning is; it is better to place rooks in open file and half open file, rather than both rooks in half open files, also it is better to face opponent's pawn than our own (generally) when it comes to placing rooks in half open files
About the discord-server, personally I don’t want to give out my mobile phone number, which is necessary for the linking part. If you’d change this so that we could verify in another way like name+email or something that would be better suited for me.
I would absolutely love if someone made a bot where it plays the opening you want and you can choose how it plays. Does it choose the most popular move the best move or something like that. This would allow for people to practice openings much easier. Without having to wait for a course of that opening to come out.
Your a good player.. 👌🏼 Those programs are fun to play with to. I could always tell if I was going to play against many other one's program's . From the way I would set mine up. That is the bad thing online. The programs. you set the time it plays .

I love how Levy's opening on the first game is literally based on luck. The opponent has to blunder otherwise, they have a great position.
How to win at chess is top tier chess content unquestionably.
Just want to say thanks for bringing this series back. Win at chess and your openings speedruns really helped me get into the game

Next video title
Levi Bot vs Magnus Bot
If I started winning at chess that would be a massive announcement lol
The “Levi” bot introduction is genuinely incredible, this will be so useful
I've watched all your videos several times and enjoyed them. You talk your way thru the games, win or lose..
protect your queen, but a free rook is a free rook
Where is the silence part at the beginningof your videoooos???
Ain’t no way that last dude is 1900

Super instructional! Thanks!!
If Levi doesn't hit me with the Hillbilly attack on the Caro, I'm gonna cry.

Hello sir. Thank you for your book. It was of huge importance to win 20 consecutive wins. Yet I didn't lose
"It's LobotomyChess vs GothamChess, which is essentially the same thing at this point"

A possible improvement would be to be able to select only openings that you've completed in the course, similar to how the drills work.

We need more videos like how to win at chess ( blitz)
Consider my life unchanged
Why do you lie to me on every guess the elo when How To Win At Chess is my favorite series?
at 59:52 the way to get ur queen out was Ba6 after taking the rook
Hey Levy, could you maybe make a short on how to checkmate with a bishop and a knight? I was wondering if there is any good pattern to it like there is for king and queen or king and rook.
What does it feel like when people ask you "what do you do for a living?" And you can reply with "im the worlds most famous chess-teacher"?

After watching this video my life has changed I went from being homeless to a millionaire after this video
love this series
Any chance that we could get some more variety in the openings next time around? Feels repetitive to watch a London and a Scandi every episode.
Bellicose stare of levy at starting, 8/10 🔥🔥
1200 players don't make these kinds of blunders when I play them
I just tried the Levi bot and it was helpful, I like that it suggests drills from specific positions as well. He played moves comparable to people at my level on the medium setting. He does make some wildly obvious blunders though but I guess people at my level do that sometimes too lol
“Keeping a thorny wall of pawns” is a phrase I will remember and hopefully use.
always having fun watching those very informative serie, thaank uu gotham

I watch these get confident and then go lose at chess
I was really hoping that the massive announcement was that you are going to start fighting for the GM title.
never going to happen
He just changed the title of the video 😂
Best move at 59:03 was bishop to A6! You would have been up that rook, and quite possibly a pawn as well.
Okay, that opening bot might be big! Now I am considering hopping on. And I don't have any money!

It is silly queation but I want to know. Which one is Right. "Levi" or "Levy". It looks same to me
I have three courses on chessly from Gotham but can't see the bot. How to access it?
What if a5 is played by white at 6:00. you need to take with the knight and lose 2 points?
........plays the london
Bro you playing with very low rank play with same rank and then show us if your plan works
Levy never fails to misspell his own name as a fully grown adult

This would allow for people to practice openings much easier. Without having to wait for a course of that opening to come out.
3rd game ending is so easy for me to miss as white, very informative
52:00 He did pretty well.. what a game
In the game against Emet, how about B to A6 after you attacked his queen with the pawn and he moved his queen back attacking your queen?
Your a good player.. 👌🏼 Those programs are fun to play with to. I could always tell if I was going to play against many other one's program's . From the way I would set mine up. That is the bad thing online. The programs. you set the time it plays .
