5:44 Levy: "What am I famous for, my friends?" Me: "Getting nervous against GMs and blundering a big advantage?" Levy: "Sacrificing the rook" Me: "Oh yeah, that too"
As a 102 rated chess player and being the world champion for -67 second i can confirm that the things taught by magnus to levy is good material i am happy to see that magnis is still good at thsi game and i still ahve a worty oppinenet
This is a great example of why its important to actually understand the purpose of an opening and adapt to your opponents play rather than just play the opening the same way each time
I thought it would be the Magnus-Sicilian, keeping the naming style of other openings . Not too long ago, a video pointed out the Magnus Swap play, that puts king and queen on each other's home squares .
Something i thought it would be cool to see is for Gotham to continue playing games, where he got winning positions and the opponent resigned, against Stockfish and see if he can still win them.
Levy's sort of like Jake Paul in boxing. All of the professionally players (GMs in this case) don't take him too seriously, but he manages to take it home and beat them, they get very fed up in disbelief and quit for a while (like Uchihovich)
Levy in 17:04 -17:06 with his amazing smile i don't know if it was spontaneus or not but it make my day that was a crazy video i am keeping all that in mind thank you and good luck for the tittles tuesday's you got this !!!
I like these videos where Levy tries new openings and explains his thought process, like with that egg. It's good content if he makes a dumb af move but it expands repertoire
Oh wow. The last game in the video shows the key. "Never play your own position. Play the other color. Figure out what move will make them hate you the most and then play that."
Damn, I learned a lot from this one, I like the way you explane your thought process. Unlike the beginner videos ( wich are very educational) this one has a different flavor
I kinda like how Levy is not a GM because it seems like he is still learning and it makes me want to learn too. GM makes me think they are some ultra genius that I can’t be. Levy is just more relatable. No hate tho on levy I hope he becomes GM 👍✝️
Hmm with the Fianchetto and castle Queenside for White, t's a little bit like Fischer's King's Indian Attack but on the other side of the board. Then you throw in a little early queen strike and that is an interesting line. Deez knights seem to be slightly better here than in the mainline KIA. Aggressive and creative from Magnus of course. Now don't get me wrong, I am a Magnus fan, not my favorite player, but still great. i'm still flying the Kasparov flag as he had a significantly longer reign as #1. Although, Magnus did eventually become slightly stronger. I think even retired Kasparov can still give Magnus a challenge, and no doubt Magnus respects him a lot.
I started watching a year ago and I’m now rated 1200 blitz and I’m just starting to work more on my rapid elo. I’m 1100 right now but I’m winning most my games still. What rating do you think I can expect to reach if I’m 1200 in blitz?
I do this in almost every game just push the pawn knocking the door and sometimes sac pieces to get interesting play as a 1400 opponent generally make mistakes defending their king side
It would've been cool to see several games from Magnus Carlsen rather than just the opening, to see how he plays them and the critical ideas from Magnus himself.
Bro complimented the opening for his winning success against GMs but didn't know that he was all alone in midgames and endgames. Gotta credit yourself mr Levy, you're GM material. Gotta believe in yourself mr bro! BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!
If Magnus is really interested in boosting his streamer score and youtube, it would be a cool series if Levy and Magnus teamed up to try and get Levy some GM norms. We saw Magnus and the chessbrahs, and yeah Aman and Eric are a bit cooler than Levy, but Levy is undoubtedly the biggest chess RUclipsr so think it would be beneficial for both sides and also get us some great content
What an amazing chess lesson. Learnt a lot from you levy and I am constantly improving chess. From today's lesson, I tried playing this opening and was able to crush my opponent with 96.5 % accuracy, the highest accuracy ever achieved by me. Also, today stare was: 8.4/10
Gotham: Something like this will be a disaster. Eval bar: Is barely worse (if at all) compared to the variation he said if he must do if h5 were played. (20:11, see also 20:05)
Uchihovich went, "Ah man I'm gonna be a youtube short and it's gonna get 2 million views because this is Gothamchess." and he closed his account in preparation. Lmao.
I used to not like chess when I was a kid, simply because I couldn't understand how it can be exciting. after I subscribed to your channel, I can see how beautiful it can be, thanks.
So glad to see magnus helping newer players improve

Lol I thought the exact same thing
Exactly my thought 😂
As the lesson, I can confirm I was given to Levy by Magnus.

As Magnus, I can confirm that I gave Levy the lesson.
As Levy, I can confirm that Magnus gave me the lesson.

As the confirm, I can give Magnus to Levy
If Magnus gave me a lesson I would quadruple my elo. I would finally reach 200.
Levy Please Pin this😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@hakaishin101 yeah xD
0 × quadruple would still be zero
LOL
Even the best struggle to teach the mentally handicapped
That third game was brutal, the "fork" plan was so psychologically scarring that the opponent actually quit chess
Many people often forget how good Levy actually is at chess, he has such an incredible attacking game.
As a train, I can confirm that Levi has indeed trained Magnus Carlsen
So happy Levy is partnering with newer chess players that joined the community, so heart warming. ❤️
Bro still can't spell his name correctly.
It‘s levy

*Me trying to play the Magnus Opening after watching Levy's video*
- My opponent: "why are you moving your king on your second turn?"
This Magmas guy seems pretty good at chess, to be able to help an IM as an untitled player is crazy, he might be able to reach 1000 elo someday.
If he can help an IM, maybe he'll become an IM one day too, it would be one of the chess stories ever.
i think IM would be hard for Magnus, maybe a CM if he starts to work hard
are you insane? he is best gm player already ;)

It'll be cool when in 10 years this will officially be known as the Sicilian Defense: Carlsen Variation
I thought it would be the Magnus-Sicilian, keeping the naming style of other openings .
Not too long ago, a video pointed out the Magnus Swap play, that puts king and queen on each other's home squares .
You see, that’s where it falls apart.
I may play this opening, but I don’t play against Grandmasters, so they don’t play the moves according to plan.
It’s cool to see this because watching Magnus menacingly walk his pawns is such a fun experience and it’s cool to see Gotham doing this!
So happy to see Levy taking Chess lessons from newer chess players to make them feel good
"what am I famous for friends?"
Choking against grandmasters!
"Sacrificing the rook"
Oh. Yeah that too I guess
Something i thought it would be cool to see is for Gotham to continue playing games, where he got winning positions and the opponent resigned, against Stockfish and see if he can still win them.
Today's stare was a solid 8.9/10
Absolutely exhilarating and straightforward
Magnus is so kind helping this Levy guy
Now I see why Magnus is Magnus, we play chess, he understands chess.
Levy's sort of like Jake Paul in boxing. All of the professionally players (GMs in this case) don't take him too seriously, but he manages to take it home and beat them, they get very fed up in disbelief and quit for a while (like Uchihovich)
You know this Magnus guy seems pretty good at chess, wonder if he could be world champion one day
GM is not the highest title. World champion is! Ha! Got him!
This made me understand how to attack the king, as well as a new opening idea (even though I prefer d4)! Thx Gotham!
Pov: Magnus Carlsen teaching kids chess : My grandfather with my cousins when i was 8 showing us the King's Pawn opening
So, you're telling me he had to copy a Magnus opening to stop his anxiety of GMs, he can defeat GMs, and not because of this opening.
props to levy for finding ways to keep the magnus clickbait strat alive when there's no actual magnus content to show
I like how he drew the arrow for defense when he said offense and drew the arrow for offense when he said defense
Love the haircut Levy. Looking sharp ✨👌🏾⚡️
this is the needed reminder that Levy is actually a fearsome offense machine and really great at chess, especially if he gets his confidence up
Levy in 17:04 -17:06 with his amazing smile i don't know if it was spontaneus or not but it make my day that was a crazy video i am keeping all that in mind thank you and good luck for the tittles tuesday's you got this !!!
Shot of tequila everytime Levi says Magnus Sicilian
I like these videos where Levy tries new openings and explains his thought process, like with that egg. It's good content if he makes a dumb af move but it expands repertoire
Levy is the only one who can make an Uchiha quit their purpose, not even Naruto or Hashirama could do that
lol, im dying bro. dont forget about lord second now. hes up there
I only play Alapin against Sicilian since the Sicilian has so many theory and lines but this seems like a fun alternative, thanks Goffam!
Levy on his way towards becoming GM. Love it.
Levy is actually bonkers at chess.
The beauty is flexibility(rolling with the punches). now I'm getting out.
Oh wow.
The last game in the video shows the key. "Never play your own position. Play the other color. Figure out what move will make them hate you the most and then play that."
I expected Levy to say: " you cant play vienna vs everything "!
My favorite video of yours for the year. I was about to become a Caro-Slav-London player, but I re-realized I want to beat a GM before I die.
I am @800 elo, London isn't working anymore 🥲

It's so kind of Magnus to teach chess strategies to complete beginners
Levy's barber needs a raise
I Love this guy, such a great teacher
I also did as magnus and played with myself on the chess board. Worked well. It was a stress free way to improve
Nice to see Levy helping out a viking in learning board games.
Super instructive, I really like how you explained the nuance of where the queen goes back, keep it up bro
I kinda like how Levy is not a GM because it seems like he is still learning and it makes me want to learn too. GM makes me think they are some ultra genius that I can’t be. Levy is just more relatable.

blitz don't help
levys understanding of the game has gotten so profound, i honestly cant believe his not a gm yet🙆♂
Wow can't believe Levy became a Grandmaster!
@nah he's good at teaching scrubs at chess and showing rare wins against much stronger players
Honorary at least
No lie this video alone improved my chess leaps and bounds.
I do this in almost every game just push the pawn knocking the door and sometimes sac pieces to get interesting play as a 1400 opponent generally make mistakes defending their king side
I play aggressive so that they won't get much time to save their king side
BTW I'm from India 🇮🇳 ❤ ....
I learn from you Levy ..
I'm 15 yo 🤭
5:44 Levy: What am I famous for?
Me: Danger Levels?
Levy: SACRIFICING THE ROOK
Me: ._.
Gotham is such a nice, humble guy. Played some super nice games but donated all the credits to Magnus...
It would've been cool to see several games from Magnus Carlsen rather than just the opening, to see how he plays them and the critical ideas from Magnus himself.
Levy's already made a video on that
@@davidohaegbulam9988 really? How is it called?
I’m really grateful I found a youtube channel like yours, thank you for all your instructional videos, since I see you my elo went from 2700 to 200 ❤️
Basis out of the closed Sicilian, less theory
Bro really thought he was Magnus fr skull emoji
I petition for the 2nd game to call the opening the Simon & Garfunkel variation.
14:49 you're telling me that a 2800 lost a piece on move 12
man you tell a story like no one else lol. lovin' it
19:06 "give a check" my 200 elo brain
17:59 important tactics
throughout this video I can hear Magnus's voice saying "tactics, think of tactics"
Next gotham video: Mango carson taught me how to get 3000 elo and get GM. Just give him ur account for two days...
Not hating btw
Levy getting confident against GMs, could we see a return to rated tournaments?
It‘s very nice of Levy to Show new players Chess. I am very proud of You!!
I'm croatian but you really teached me some things tysm 11:23
Magnus: We taught him wrong on purpose, as a joke!
Not everyone is gonna fully understand this comment😂
The opening is helping but the one who wins is the user of the opening, don't underestimate ur self levy , if u don't panic ur easily a GM
Ive been stuck at around 1100 for a couple months now and these videos help me alot. Been practcing relative/absolute pin
He wins 4 games and each time his ELO goes down...
Bro complimented the opening for his winning success against GMs but didn't know that he was all alone in midgames and endgames. Gotta credit yourself mr Levy, you're GM material. Gotta believe in yourself mr bro! BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!
”What am I famous for?”
i immediately thought to myself, “choking under pressure against GMs.” ;) ❤

Should call the lines where the queen drops back to d2 or d3 the Carlsen Sicilian Dark Squares or Light Squares variations
i love that the magnus caro was my line forever and it just got stolen from me
Magnus effect applied even when Magnus not playing the games, congrats on your first wins over gms levy

Can you make a video about how to train yourself in chrss and ways to study? Thanks.
Oh, trained at chess. I was expecting trained like Magnus at beers or something.
Levi make it looks very easy against GMs. Proud of you new Levy. I’ll buy your courses now.

thought you were gonna drink and play goofy openings on livestream but this works too
You make it look easy
