I'd love a series where you take a sub 500 player and see how quickly you can get then to a 1000+ player
I volunteer as tribute, lol
Me to I think I’m in 400?
Hi Levy I love your videos. I've been watching from a long time from India. Can you please make a 10min video on the reti opening? I really want to learn it but not by anyone else.
A week ago i couldve been 500
Levy does listen to his fans, everyone like this to show Levy how much we want this!
This is damn fine teaching. Guy does a perfect lesson. He sets you up to tell you what you are learning, does it with you, then gets you to use it yourself followed by a recap. That is just good pedagogy.
i really loved his teaching in part one especially. the way he allowed tier to ponder the best move first, and when he gave him the rule no checks. but when he told tier he has to beat him in the clear winning position it really got me thinking. he seems like a great teacher
What is pedagogy?
@@leskobrandon8454 The method and practice of teaching, especially as an academic subject or theoretical concept.
@@leskobrandon8454 I googled it, and then opened the replies. Coulda save 45 seconds had I done it in reverse 😂
I think he worked as a chess coach for a time so there's that experience
Just found Gotham and honestly seeing him collaborate with Tier is freaking awesome.
Rerember the most importain rule, he is the gay version of a IM from New York
@@toilaconhaisam3037 wtf ông đang nói clgt?
Nazmus Saquib I believe the first video i watched was one of his 10 minutes chess opening videos. After watching it and seeing how he explains and talks i instantly subbed.
Now when ever he uploads i get excited :D
Nazmus Saquib oh my bad haha. No I was in chess class back in middle school like 2008.
And ive been on chess.com since 2013 but ive played off and on ever since 2014.
I love how Levy's like today we're going to go over the Scandanavian. Immediately transposes to the Caro Kann.
@@michaelmilano1067 it’s a glitch
Isn’t this the French?
@@chenyifei8819 yeah it's the french but caro kann is very similar
@@chenyifei8819 it's not completely french because the light square bishop is out
@@sofooraadam1617 I see thank you
I got into chess after Pogchamps & you gave quickly become one of my favorite personalities. This video series has been wonderful & I sincerely hope you continue to put out content like this in the future, as a developing player, your mixture of personality & information is amazing & inspiring. Thank you GothamChess, & much love from Texas.
I am a lower rated player (~900) but after watching a series of your videos i had 99% accuracy game for the first time.
You are a great player and you are so clear when you are explaining stuff behind the moves.
Super helpful content
I am the 900 with 40 games and the next game 90 90 90 98 97 40 40 50 50 20 97 ect
Sort of wierd I had 99 accuracy games on lower ratings but not not as often or maybe I don't click game report. 900 in 5 mins or 10?
@@mayankraj2294 something is strange or i am just retarded. I always played 10 min games and i it said that i am playing blitz (yellow thunder logo). Ans recently it says i am playing rapid lol (the green logo).
I have 1100 points now in rapid apparently and i feel opponents are worse somehow.
@@danko95bgd Chess.com moved the 10-minute games to rapid. And they suggested to play 5+5 for the "slowest" blitz option.
@@danko95bgd i mean people in the lower 600 is sometimes a higher players that just got themselves to 600 neither by losing or on purpose while 800-1000 could just be players that was starting out, and also when you first created an account it gives you alot of rating for your first and second win so from 800 it can launch you up to 1000 and 800 to 600
I never realized how free form and expressive chess could be until i started playing it, it's kind of beautiful
I like new gotham, but i just found this video and i prefer this old version of gothem more. Hes more down to earth and less of a content pumping youtuber in this 3 yr old vid.
Dude, Im only 4;50 in..I forgot how fun you make this.. Struggling to get to 1000 but just started playing again.. Missed your humor and enthusiasm ..Love your coaching style!! Im sick of not knowing black openings!! this is great..now back to studying...THANK YOU LEVI!!! Your the MAN!
17:22 this man just opened my third eye
@@BHAKTIBROPHY yes they sure as shit are
I thought this was an opening tier list XD
Damn there are so many traps in this opening. I'm definitely gonna learn this and wreck noobs.
@@shawnfernandes7239 _Laughs in Tension gambit ICBM variations_
@@kharkovluzhin8333 hello guys this is gm rahul abhishek pranav rajesh
@@shawnfernandes7239 watch eric rosen and you will learn more about this opening
Gotham is one of the best chess teachers on youtube
No exaggeration, he indeed is one of the best. Imagine if he became a GM lol.
why is it that everybody wants him to become a GM? I mean 2400 rating isn't that easy either. It takes years to reach there and thousands of study hours and a lot of dedication. You have to work a lot to even reach 2100 or so. IM's tough man.
@@sjegannath6295 I agree becoming an IM is hard, but he comes so far wouldn't it be natural if he would continue his journey and become a GM. Ofcourse it's completely his choice and I will always support him but having it as a goal is not bad either.
He’s brilliant. I recently found him after being a John bartholomew fan.
@UltravioletFilms you are probably happy with 1:52
Hi Levy I love your videos. I've been watching from a long time from India. Can you please make a 10min video on the reti opening? I really want to learn it but not by anyone else.
Yes please
What's your rating buddy? I suppose chess.com because rated players won't ask for openings since they know it.
I'm 1300 on chess.com
Iam 1200
Oh i t seems I am a weakling as compared to every one here. I am just 930
Few days ago, A Stafford Gambit video was released on Eric Rosen's channel.
It is a great gambit to use because lots of logical moves for white, turn out to be bad!
I thought stanford gambit was meant for black
Edit: i just misread your sentence from the above to (Stanford gambit provide) a lots of logical moves for white, (the Stanford gambit ) turn out to be bad
That Scandinavian defence! Wow!! And that attack on the brown square diagonal to the king! Oh my! A move of beauty!
*Goes into a new game with black prepared to play the Scandinavian
Opponent plays d4
Game Plan: D E S T R O Y T H E M
Your ability to teach is simply unparalleled. Thank you for these videos!
23:34 White: "wait a minute, how are you playing queens gambit, im white :-("
Saw it two days ago and got 200 puzzles rating points. Same feeling of huge improvement in play. That format was excellent! Please do an episode 3!!!
This is a well done and easy to follow lesson with helpful examples. More like this would be great.
lol, proper Scandinavian got me past 1000, which I was stuck for a while. Thanks a lot Levy!
13:54 that made my heart melt with Eric Rosen nostalgia
For black: d5>e5
Put the queen to the edges of the board (to avoid tempo)
These style vids are golden. Hearing the thoughts of a player my level, and your knowledge applied is invaluable for understanding and learning.
So is it fair to say that black generally wants to castle on the opposite side of the board as white? Or is it just that castling opposite leads to a more open game and isn't inherently advantageous for black or white necessarily?
Opposite side castling usually leads to more dynamic attacking games as each side is able to throw their pawns at the others king
Neither. It can happen in open and closed positions and benefit black or white. It usually leads to both players trying to "storm" the castled enemy king with their flank pawns and an advantage to the person who can attack the king the fastest.
This has really helped me start out at Chess. Thanks Gotham.
Haven't seen anyone providing such a good explanation in Chess videos. I like your attitude of being nice with learners. Thanks for sharing and keep up good work.
To me, Chess International Master explaining series of moves, especially venomous gambit, is exactly like a magician explaining magic tricks secrets …. For most people like myself, always surprised ending and look so easy, that’s why chess is always a fun game/sport
Literally watched this and won two games in a row for black with the Scandinavian. Thank you for your wisdom.
I learn something new in almost every one of these. At the very least I better understand the "why" behind what I have been taught previously. Thanks!
This is the most random, but amazing, crossover ever. I love both channels
Damn there are so many traps in this opening. I'm definitely gonna learn this and wreck noobs.
The best informational video for me with the most that I can understand thank you
All joking aside, the seamless placing of this video makes it so easy to learn. I have not come across another teacher like this before.
3:50 the idea of letting the light bishop go to then reinforcing with light pawns... enlightening! Thanks!
I didnt quite get that to be honest
Man Best video for opening explanation for beginners.
Like to see more videos on others openings also it will be helpful for me.
That was the best black opening video I have ever seen. Thank you very much.
Thanks for the in-depth simplicity of your videos.
As a latvian who plays the latvian gambit, I take slight offence to the comment
Could you please make video about how to beat time management in chess , tip etc!!
Just play long time games
Usually players below 1600-1700 should play 15+10 games
Bcuz at that stage ur brain is not much developed to pre move with accuracy
It’s also useful to note that if white advances the e4 pawn to e5 instead of taking on d5 that it can transpose into the French basically. Then it’s just French Defense principles.
I started playing chess about January time and can say i much prefer playing as black. A good defence makes for a great offense.
Lower rated players are good to learn your gambits but higher you go the less likely they fall for them so your normal openings work more.
I really want to learn some theory but lack the attention span to do so :(
Thank you, Levi for this pivotal chess lessons.I teach by watching your videos and becoming better
check out the insane glowup for Levy since now. in 2023 my mans is looking fantastic, with great audio, and at like 2.? million subs lol
I have a deep appreciation for you explaining the thought process to each move. This is great coaching and it’s very easy to follow along with. I’ve really enjoyed all of your videos
Sir please make a video on scotch gambit
I love how the scandi transposed into the french
what if opponent plays after e4, d5 , and d4? I won many games using that Blackmar-Diemer Gambit as white
I was struggling for black opening.. best lessons so far
I literally just watched this video and i played the staffords gambit on the opponent (white) and he made every move here I was shouting with excitement by the time he played h3 because by then his fate was sealed. he resigned after i won the queen hahaha
Just loved it !!! They way you teach
Levy, you are a natural teacher! I enjoy your videos. Thank you.
Thanks Levi!!! Helpful breakdown my mind is melting...
keep this series going, its helping me put the pieces together with my strategy and 0 training
i cant help but jump on a game after watching a few minutes of your videos
People who write first
Me: You are not just the clown but the entire circus
But comments are good for the algorithm. So comment anyway.
Sounds like someone who's always been second, jk love you Archit. Try turning on notifications so maybe you can be first someday.
@@burningspirit7874 how did u fell in love with him?
I'm a Scandinavian enjoyer. I'm also 1/4 Norwegian so it makes sense.
Excellent video. I will try the Scandinavian. And that tricky Stafford.
This is great content. You are a fantastic teacher. When I was about 12 years old, my stepdad tried to teach me and I even became a member of a chess club for a few months. Neither my stepdad or the club's instructor were good teachers. If they would have had a fraction of your insight and teaching skills, I might have continued to play and wouldn't have given up so fast.
Excellent videos man!, I love your content!, do you offer private lessons?
I thought this was an opening tier list XD
I used to think Levys videos were overrated trying too much with clickbait stuff , gimmicks etc but when you get to videos like this you realise what a valuable resource he is for improving one’s chess particularly among us chess hacks
IM Levy. Pleasure to learn from
I’m new to chess and would love to subscribe and learn just like this.
I’m gonna watch and sub to you because I know you will grow tremendously
Okay that is very interesting. Thank you I learned lots. Didn't think about chess like that before. So bishops are defenders? What are the roles of the other pieces?
Good stuff, keep it up. This is helping things start to click for me.
18:20 too! Sheesh 😩😩😂 Chess Gotham you different bruh
Makes it 10 minutes into video... "Alright, I'm ready to play some chess" *quits video* & *starts playing chess*
I never thought of re-filling white squares with pawns after trading white square bishop 🤔
Would be amazing see you playing 5d chess
Didn't Levy say you need to move your queen to D8 in the Scandi on their opening rankings vid?
That video I believe he said for complete beginners but I am not sre
I am a beginner. A total beginner. I played that slavic defense again and again against my PC . Bring out the their queen and both knights was devastating no matter how I wasted moves trying to protect my queen. Can you do this one again but with a sly white opponent.
5:28 Wrong, Scandinavian is not only taking with the Queen, sometimes you but the night on f6, that is the Modern Variation
16:38 I should go bishop g4 if he defended his queen I move back if he takes my knite i take a queen
This is the best crossover ever
Eric rosen seeing Gotham's Stafford gambit tutorial: hold my beer
damn how simple it looks. and then ohnomyqueen 4 real.
I think what he's trying to say is that the cahoxagogen is frammed up by the rammistam
holy shit i learn a lot by watching this, especially gambit stuff.
3:38 important advice that is seldom heard
could you make a video to explain some ideas how to play in the middlegame? I play a lot of chess. Sometimes i find some nice moves and i win.But sometimes i feel bored because i use the same openings but i struggle to find ideas to move on during the match and i don't how to continue the variation that i chose and i don't know what i have to play with the black pieces.
I like this because the trainee asks questions I have myself
So is the best way to defend against the Stafford is to just not accept the Knight at C6? Just retreat or reinforce your knight at E5?
This Scandinavian looks literally like a Caro-Kann in the first 10 minutes of the video. :D
Advance french but with Bf5
16:36 black queen e7 the pawn is pinned so it can’t take the knight then play knight g4
S Tier Teacher man
What do I do if white plays B4 and attacks the queen? Do I just take it? Also what to do with my queen if white plays A3 and then B4? Do I just take the queen back to D8?
Very Nice Video Gotham, more of this please, im a 1600+ player and cannot seem to get to 1700
Stafford is forever connected with eric now
I lose with black 2x as often.. really need to work on this stuff
17:20 what if white moves queen f2? Then black knight moves f2 but then the game carries on its not check anymore right?
But white is still down a queen for two pieces, with their king floating around in the center. White is hopelessly lost.
For a moment I thought he was going to teach Traxler Counter Gambit 😅
i think everyone should at least know how to play against the traxler as white. its as simple as playing Bxf7 instead of Nxf7 and the retreating the bishop to avoid getting forked.
if anyone is interested in the Scandi, John Bartholomew has some awesome resources on his youtube and on chessable. highly recommend. also a good channel to check out if you like what gotham does :)
really interesting, better than the boring openings, its good to change it around.
The pawn miss used its evolution points baby!
levy! love our videos! do you do privet lessons?
How can I get a chess lesson? I’d really like to learn more.
Chess is so much easier when you're watching a video. 🤣🤣
