1200 is like that awkard phase in chess puberty when your going from being an intermediate player to an advanced player. You never really know what your gonna get.
If someone still didn't get his first brilliant move, you can get a free one if your opponent plays the Damiano Defense against you. Since it's a really bad response by black (Defends the center pawn but blocks the bishop, and also loses on the spot) and a relatively famous opening in low elo, you can sacrifice the knight and take the center pawn, and there, your first brilliant move.
True, but this is called the Damiano Gambit, and it is theoretical, book moves. And i separe teh brilliant moves, what does that mean? Well when i play an "brilliant move" that comes from an opening trap it doesn't count as a brilliant for me, since i wasn't the pne who made the move, it is just all part of a trap and the moves are memorized
The ending of this video was so satisfying. I laughed for a solid 10 seconds and normally I don't smile or show any emotion because I sold my soul for some Fritos in 2012.
I laugh at the end omg! Thank you Levy, I used to play chess like garbage and now I bought your beginner course and I’m close to 600 and beating consistently 500 after falling down to 400. I even didn’t finish the course yet, chapter 9 is coming. Thank you so much I will buy the E4 and Caro can just after!! PS: you should think about an offer where we can buy all your courses. I will happily pay for it.
yo levy i just watched the video on “checks captures and attacks” just had my highest accuracy with 92% the computer said i had an inaccuracy but MAN it works!! ur awesome bro. Subbed and i’ll be getting the course
Levy, I hit 1500 rapid last night. Thank you for getting me into chess study, teaching me the principles, and teaching me the openings I play (some of which I’ve played since I was 600). Keep sharing this awesome game with people.
@@ifty7017 I watch Levy, Danya, and Hikaru. I like each of them for different reasons and can’t see myself not watching all three unless I stop playing chess. Danya is an amazing creator.
*Levy, at **12:48* - White is just totally...like hopelessly lost. *Me, watching the video* - Yeah, I've seen enough of your videos to know there's a twist coming. I'll bet white ends up winning. *Also me, at **19:34* - Damn, alright. I guess I was wrong. *Me for a third time, at the end of the video* - Alright, well, I guess I deserved that. 😂 Also, my guy Levy said "...I'm still not a grandmaster, and I'm almost bald." Man, nobody roasts Levy like Levy does. Respect. 🫡🤣
The other day I completely destroyed a 1800 hundred in two different games, as a 1050 on a irl board. That made me realize that I can get a lot better at chess, and part of thr reason why I'm getting better is your channel and your advice . So I wanted to thank you levi👌🏻
@@geographynonsensical5003 Learn a couple of openings for both sides and the thing you need to work on is to actively think about what you are doing and not making mistakes caused by tunnel vision or similar, basically
@@geographynonsensical5003I'll give you one don't hang pieces that also means don't make a piece over worked, what I mean is don't let a piece protect more than one piece alone because a good sacrifice would make you lose more
Personally, I think you should never resign unless you're playing against a user named SavageOppress, in which case you should give up even if the position is equal or you're completely winning.
I was playing like a brilliant guy until 2 week ago but suddenly i started making blunders and got worse and worse instead of improving i feel like i am practicing on how to make blunders
800 here. Got 2 brilliant moves in the same game once. First was a bishop sacrifice to win a rook and a pawn. Second was a few moves later when I castled to avoid a losing exchange.
I started playing chess because my friend sayed that he could beat me at it . but 1 month later i challenged him and i won . After that he stoped playing chess.
M 2200 and trying to improve by watching 1200 with Gm titles playing ( plz give us something helpful to learn from levy m stuck here for a long time now )
That eye contact at the end after you said "if we do the math.." letting me know that the whole time I thought I was following along with that logically thought process it was just a mockery of the 1200 brain

This was actually such an amazing video! Analyzing 1200 ELO games is actually super instructive, I love it! More like this, please!

He's playing 5D chess
He sacrificed... THE SPONSOR
I love when Gotham roasts us
As a 1250 I can relate to this game so much. Openings getting more solid and then just wild stuff with a lot of plot twists happen during the game 😀
Not 1200 yet around 550 to 700. My first brilliant move was while I was 620. Sacrificed a knight to get checkmate. It was my greatest move ever.
I got my best as not 1 but 2 In a row
Rook sacrifice and queen sacrifice(won on next move)(as 550 elo)

What !!! no kidding, share thelink to the game@@prince_bk
@@Lets_MakeItSimple deleted account a long ago
I think mine was either when I sacrificed a bishop to win a queen, or also sacrificed my bishop to win a rook.

I'm 320 in blitz and proud. I've had some crazy wins and a lot of losses and / or huge blunders, but it is still fun
"are you still rated half of that".
Didn't need that personal attack.
Where is "Get out of here?"
17:48 Qd1+ does win the rook: Re2, Qf1+, Rf2, g4+ and the king cannot defend the rook anymore.

After he talked about the brilliant moves, I decided to play a chess game for the first time in awhile and got my first brilliant move
Thank you for making a video about people at my level this will definitely help a lot of other intermediate players.

The measure of ones success is that he become a GM before becoming bald
Levy was so pissed off he didn't even say get out of here. He knew we'd do it ourselves out of embarrassment.
I got my first brilliant move yesterday during class, good times

Me - no i was 60-
Levy - NO!
Me yes cause i wa-
Levy - are you rated half of it

im kind of surprised that i still haven't gotten a single brilliant move by accident considering how many wild games i've played
