Levy In a 3 min blitz game: In Mexico, there are crickets in HUGE populations Me in a 10 min rapid game: OMG I gotta hurry I only have 10 minutes OH NOOOOOOO
To the guy who asked in the chat: the openings have names based on where it was first played, the person who made it popular, the city, etc. There is no consensus. The Indian part comes from the country where it was played (notice that the pawns move just 1 square, that's because they were used to older version of chess in India, where there was no quick start for the pawns and they had to move one square at a time), and the Kings part comes from the fact that he moves his pieces out and on the kings side, later castleling there. At least this is what I was once told. Edit: I just saw that somebody wrote the same answer in the chat, so I just wasted my time. I am going to leave the comment to remind my future self of his past mistakes.
I was just wondering this, and I hate reading chat in most twitch clips cuz it's usually scrolling too fast so I just never look. Remember, giving redundant information in multiple places isn't useless, it increases coverage. Thank you!
@@Cocxy69 "hungs" isn't a word. "hung" is a word so he could say "hung/hangs queen at 3:42" as in "He hung/hangs his queen at 3:42". Saying "he hungs his queen at 3:42" doesn't make sense because "hungs" isn't the past tense of "hung" since "hung" is already past tense...
@23:17 It's called King's Indian because it was famously played by Indian players in international chess, coming from a background in Indian version of chess during British rule. In Indian version of chess the two square pawn move as well as king-rook swap castling was not allowed (in Indian castling, King could move like a knight once in the game, and that was used to manually bring the king to the other side of the rook), so fianchettoing the King's bishop was the way you controlled the centre. You can observe the same in Sultan Khan's games as he belonged to the British Colonial era in India. Learning the two step pawn move would be, I suppose, more inconvenient to such players, because it would demand a change in their well practiced understanding of openings, so they went for the move that would be allowed in both their native variant of chess as well as international chess.
@@FallenFromGlory This is Chess, even if there's delay they can still snipe, unless is a whole minute delay, but judging from the chat I think delay is only a few seconds Also Levy constantly check from stream snipe by explaining a wrong move so he really don't have to worried
I just started playing after maybe 20 years of not playing, and soon realized my lack of opening repertoire and fundamental opening blunders were costing me big time. So I added this King's Indian, paid more attention to using pins and forks, and feel like I'm really making some serious progress now. Thanks for the great content!

I don't even know if you'll ever see this Gotham, but this is probably my favorite video of yours. I'm now 900 ELO Rapid thanks to your kings indian series. It's also really nice how this video seems more calmer than newer ones. Thank you for making chess entertaining for the masses.
I just want to say for any youtube viewer who's thinking of getting the openings course, I got the openings course for 1. e4 and I could not be happier with the results. Just knowing how to respond to e5 and c5 has ramped up my win/loss ratio when playing black and white. Levy focuses so much on overarching ideas in the opening that you can't help but get better at facing any opening. Also, Vienna game is overpowered.
So pumped. I play chess since I was 6 yo. My father taught me and we still play. He was a former Moroccan champion. I gave up for quite some years but got back at it for the last year and your videos helped me a lot improve my game. Keep it up
WHOA wth, is this a sign from god? I was studying my chemistry and I just started with frequences and wavelengths, took a break, opened this video, and saw this. Just wow
I love these series because I'm like 1100 and I can see what openings work well in this lower level rating area. Keep up the great work man(and sweatshirts too)
Mah boi levy! I've watched and rewatched all your e4 climbs. Probably my #1 favourite real-life scenario chess videos. Can't wait for more of these for black.
@ivanfuentes858 I assume he meant accuracy. Which is a game by game thing. If the opponent plays badly its easy to get that. I literally just looked at a game where i played at 96% and I'm 1000.
I went from 600-850 I’ve played for 5 months while bored at work. Your content is awesome man, started to learn openings in the last two weeks. Cheers. I play the London and kings Indian and just try not to blunder and develop lol
Wow, as a relatively new player, I find this type of video extremely helpful. I especially like the way you instruct while at the same time encouraging your subs. You have a way of criticizing that sounds like encouragement instead of criticism.
Haha ikr 800 gang rise up. Also jokes aside Chess has so many levels it's depressing. Love the game and i had a 57 move 93 accuracy game earlier with no mistakes or blunders, and to the former 300 me that would seem amazing, but when IMs talk about 1200s like children and i see 1200s as gods XD
@@randomyoutubeaccount6906 Chess really shows how much more the human mind is capable of. When you're a beginner or intermediate player, you look at professional games and have no idea how they manage to think about so many things in such short amounts of time.

@@randomyoutubeaccount6906 And you feel the changes, right? A long way to go, obviously, but you see things that you would never even think about before. I'm rated around 1100 myself, but feel like i have a couple hundred more if i stop playing late at night when i'm tired. Most people at this rating fall for super simple baits, it's not even funny anymore.

@@hammurabitheawesome674 maybe, but d4 can be exciting, I've been messing around with trompowsky and catalan stuff and it can be a lot of fun and tactics
If anyone was curious the best thing to play against the kings indian (pirc) that wasnt shown is to grab full center then push your f pawn up, this is called the austrian attack with idea to play bishop to e3 then push your e pawn attacking the knight pretty visciously
10:25 Hallucinating. I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that. I hung a Queen on a8 the other day because for some reason I thought my a-pawn wasn't there and the queen was supported by the rook.
3:15 is knight g4 just winning for black? You threaten fork on f2, while also attacking queen with black bishop. If queen d2 or e3 to protect pawn and fork, pin with black bishop, which is protected by g4. Correct me if I’m wrong but knight g4 just wins that game no?
Y'all don't understand how amazingly helpful these videos are to a complete noob like me. He's showing all the possible ways opponents can play and how to react and with his comments and notes it REALLY helps
So I just watched this, and pushed e5 against London....it was glorious and an easy win. Have subbed your Twitch as a thankyou - I truly believe you're one of the best RUclipsrs I've seen. Keep it up dude x
Ur vids help a lot, I know you're not cheating because chess analyzers rarely think of tactics. your gift is knowing where to put your pieces at various stages. you blunder less than a normal person that's for sure. but your vids have helped me a lot thanks
This is how I felt playing the Kings Indian. Every game ended up in these huge complicated tension filled mid games and I couldn’t convert constantly bc I’m trash lol
Hi Twitch! Kings Indian defense has been a godsend imo. I tried caro kann and sicilian but i'm too much of a scrub at developing correctly when they're familiar with the position.
Levy is a funny bastard. I think he has a personable intelligence that makes him not only brilliant at chess, but would also make him an interesting guy to sit next to on a flight.
Hi Gotham, I just want to know your thoughts on the move on 12:37. I just want to ask why you didn't just went for Bf8xBd6 rather than Rd8xBd6. You'll be left with 2 rooks that 1 bishop, 1 rook by then.
As someone who is just starting to actually play online (used to just play the 1500 bot all day) what really stands out to me in these lower ranked games is that in general is that you don't really have to make good moves. You just have to not blunder fast enough to either win on time or stall until your opponent blunders. Sitting at like 1000 rating in 5 min, but my rating still goes up / down like 50 each win or loss so I very well could be 700 and just pulled off enough of a luck streak or haven't played enough for the 1200 initial rating to converge to my wood tier expectations. With enough time, I can beat the 1500 bot more often than not, but with 5 min I'm losing to people in the 700-800 range just under half the time.
this reminds me of those martial arts videos where the sensei effectively pauses time to do some bs ninjutsu and then explain after why it will work every time
IVE SPOTTED A GENIUS MOVE AT 2:42 . If you move the knight to g4, hitting the Queen with the bishop and looking to fork at f2, the only reasonable move to protect f2 and moving the Queen out of danger at the same time is Qd2. Then you follow up with bishop to h6, wich is then PROTECTED by the knight and pins the Queen to the King. Insanely proud that i found this as a 1200 rated player and Levy did not lol :)
@@Ch33s3r Then probably something like Qf6, supporting Bxf4 on the next move with royal skewer. So he still can't take the loose Knight but has to unpin himself.
How do you win a Game when you've lost your queen? ... You develop Your Pieces! 36:00. Such a riot! I Love this Series your doing. I'm watching your Ch. on Y.T. every night now. Greatly enjoying it and sending much Thanks from Oregon! Supper Outstanding stuff and as a Host, appreciate your Presentations. Thank You!! ... Mike.
"I hallucinated that my rook was here..." Story of every single endgame of mine ... xD Does someone know how to disable "move by klick"? That kills me basically 20% of my games. Especially when I klicked the Queen before xD
I’m like 90% sure you can’t disable the clicking feature, I know if you right click, it will unselect ur pieces. You can also, shift to turn squares green when right clicking.
I've lost count of the number of times I clicked on my king to castle short, then decided to move my other rook first, triggering an accidental long castle. :^(
At 10:12, there is an idea. Play rook e takes e3, that's a free pawn. If f takes e3, then you have rook b takes g2 check, king h1, rook takes g3 check, king to h2, rook to g2 check, king to h1, rook to a2 check, king h1 and grab the rook on a1 with check, and you're a bishop and pawn up with a winning endgame
Would someone be able to explain to me how bishop to G3 was not a blunder by Levy? For me it seems as though he can take the bishop with the king. Am I missing something? Timestamp at 12:51
Two thumbs up, great content, good presentation. A very well thought out approach, Kings Indian.

White can break out of the pin after Bh6 with f4
@@Ch33s3r Then probably something like Qf6, supporting Bxf4 on the next move with royal skewer. So he still can't take the loose Knight but has to unpin himself.
Kings Indian Defence is my favorite defence so thanks for making this video.
How do you win a Game when you've lost your queen? ... You develop Your Pieces! 36:00. Such a riot! I Love this Series your doing. I'm watching your Ch. on Y.T. every night now. Greatly enjoying it and sending much Thanks from Oregon! Supper Outstanding stuff and as a Host, appreciate your Presentations. Thank You!! ... Mike.
I’ve been really looking forward to this, I love your content Levy!
I Just learned the kings indian opening so this series will be awesome for me !
"I hallucinated that my rook was here..." Story of every single endgame of mine ... xD
Does someone know how to disable "move by klick"? That kills me basically 20% of my games. Especially when I klicked the Queen before xD
I’m like 90% sure you can’t disable the clicking feature, I know if you right click, it will unselect ur pieces. You can also, shift to turn squares green when right clicking.
I've lost count of the number of times I clicked on my king to castle short, then decided to move my other rook first, triggering an accidental long castle. :^(
I had to turn on ‘Confirm Moves’ cause misclicks and accidentally premoves kept ruining my games.
At 10:12, there is an idea. Play rook e takes e3, that's a free pawn. If f takes e3, then you have rook b takes g2 check, king h1, rook takes g3 check, king to h2, rook to g2 check, king to h1, rook to a2 check, king h1 and grab the rook on a1 with check, and you're a bishop and pawn up with a winning endgame
That E6, B6 game was awesome! Impressive comeback!
look at levy man, so inspirational. ngl he handsome too
Would someone be able to explain to me how bishop to G3 was not a blunder by Levy? For me it seems as though he can take the bishop with the king. Am I missing something? Timestamp at 12:51
AT 56:17 , i am laughing and feeling sad at this at the same time.
Thank you so much Levy. I've been waiting for this. Immediately jump on it after work
genericgm's mate setup attempt at 48:39 was lovely.
Two thumbs up, great content, good presentation. A very well thought out approach, Kings Indian. Tried tested and verified, not just by me but also, by real chess professional players in the know, like our host.. This is one, recommend for the black side, friends and family. Peace ✌, Love and soul. Yours truly, the people's choice, OG Reggie B.
Very interested in your e6 b6 opening. Love learning about things I haven't seen very often
1:07:30 Oh bye yt melt my heart tnx tv chat ❤️
10:21
This is the moment that he knew he f*cked up
"ok, here is the 400 kicking in" 😂 absolutely brilliant
Instructive bongcloud series with hikaru next
Yes Levy is the best this is what I needed
@12:51 why did the king not take the bishop?
Here I was expecting to learn kings Indian, but now I just improve my London by looking for that cheeky fork
@@DonFreeq I mean it got me to 1200 , I've been looking at other opening anyway queens gambit, stonewall etc. It just works for me for now
@@DonFreeq what're you rated?/ what do you use for white?
@@DonFreeq so what opening do you reccomend as white?
1.2M subs haven’t seen this series. Bring it back!!!
Rating climbs with certain openings ftw. Really helpful watching multiple games with specific openings.
