      That's true! I also want to thank Levy for those great lessons of chess, last week, I went to a tournament in my city, just to have some fun, and surprisingly I finish first without a lose. I beat stronger players that in my dreams I could think I'd beat, because I found great moves and ideas inspired by this great channel. I have had a great time watching and learning, and having fun!

I've gone from 800 elo to 1200-1300 in the span of a monthish just from really buckling down and focusing. I'm also verbalizing similar to how you do which REALLY helps me to think out my positions.

    86 minutes. Really enjoy things like this. I've only been playing chess for around a week and a half, and I am so I fascinated by this game.

    Hey Levy, life has been utter garbage lately. Your videos are seriously a *big* bright spot in my days.
    So! Thank you.

    Your vids are always solid but this series is way more lit with the live stream bruv.

    Levy without caffeine is the most informational human. I love hearing the “crazy” thought processes involved in Rozman chess. 👍🏼

    I really do like Levy being a smart ass all the time haha.. But I actually really enjoyed this change of pace video. He was a little toned down and deliberate, trying to be really instructional. This waa probably my favorite win at chess video so far 👍

    I was beginning to worry Levy was getting kinda sick from overworking but at 14:38 you see what's happening in reality. Feels exactly the same way it does when you blunder thinking you're getting a free piece xD

    Levy I'm loving your content and I watch nearly every video BUT, I just wanted to tell you that I liked this series better when it was live on stream, can't quite pinpoint why but I felt more comfortable watching it, now it's a tiny bit more awkward. Keep up the great work and thanks for the content!
