I don't know why it was so hard for me to find videos that don't just explain the first 1-3 basic pawn moves for each opening, but the actual follow ups to each counter as well. This is the first video of yours that I have seen, and it is the the most helpful Chess video I have ever seen. Thank you sir!
Levy is remarkably articulate. 14 minutes of straight talking, very few ums and ahs, clear development of ideas. Some vloggers cannot get two sentences together without a cut, an edit and a reset.
@@ghetoknight7801 This might be late but, generally knights are better than bishops in closed positions and vice versa, also look at which piece is the most defended and causing the most problems, and it’s usually quite obvious whether a trade is good or not. If it isn’t, then it probably could go either way and trading or not is fine. Also if you’re up material trades are usually good to simplify and get to an endgame
I actually invented a new opening called the “accelerated queens gambit” which is were you unintentionally gambit your queen and scream “fuck” at the top of your lungs
There is more information packed in ~15 minutes here than most hour long classes I've seen, and more importantly, instead of just running off lines, you explain the actual ideas behind the line. Excellent video.
He taught the opening for white in 9 minutes (less than 10 minutes), which is what was intended. He then continued to teach it for about 4 more minutes, but from blacks side.
I just got into chess, this was helpful. I hadn’t considered defending by putting a piece in line with the queen so that if they take, they lose their queen. Thanks!
My first tournament game ever was against the Queen's Gambit. I was about 1000 strength then. I played the Semi-Slav without any prep (basically tried to play logical moves and ended up with a Semi-Slav). Huge fight. I got a passed pawn that I eventually lost, and we fought into an endgame with equal material where my opponent finally managed to get an unstoppable pawn on the 7th rank. We each had about 50s of time left. That guy won the tournament. I placed 4th by winning the rest of my games. It wasn't a very strong tournament.
Really useful for me as a beginner - I just beat Stockfish level 4 (yes I know how basic this is!), using your recommended 'Chigorin defence'. Much appreciated and very Happy New Year when it comes.
A fun accepted queens gambit trap: 1. d4 d5 2. c4 d5xc4 3. e3 b5 4. a4 c6 5. a4xb5 c6xb5 6. Qf3 So here you win at least a knight (6. ... knight c6 7. Qxc6+ ) But most people will think they get forked after taking the knight and will just give up the rook. (You don’t actually get forked, black can play Bd7 and they attack the queen and defend the rook with their queen.) :)
Your content is truly amazing levy. You have a way of wording and explaining things that makes it very digestable. You and rosen are definetly at the top of the list when it comes to youtube chess lessons. Keep it up levy!
Hey, Levy- Just wanted you to know that your videos have been super helpful to me in more than just a chess sense. I don’t mean to get uncomfortably personal but I think to help you understand I sort of have to. I’ve had mental health issues to the degree that I’ve had to take two semesters off from school out of the last three, I’ve been on a dozen (literally) prescriptions in the last year alone with three doctors and a therapist, so needless to say life has been trying and a bit crazy. When I found chess and your videos, it was a help though. When I’m up until the wee and not-so-wee hours of the morning trying to sleep or get my head out of those deep, dark places I seem to spend so much time in, your chess videos are distracting at least and even motivating at times. For a guy who can’t get out of bed a lot of the time that’s huge. I’ve wanted to reach out for a while now but I don’t really know how, you have such a following and I’m sure this will go to spam somewhere or get buried but in the off chance you see this on the video that got me into it all, I hope you hear me, from across the country, some dude you’ve never heard of much less met, thanking you and telling you these videos mean more than just pieces on a board, even to someone who will probably never break 1250. I really appreciate the effort and passion that you put into your content. Much love for the channel and for the Batman of the chess world. (P.S. I started learning this before the show dropped on Netflix, doesn’t that automatically make me OG or something?)
In retrospect, I'll likely never learn an opening this way. Probably better to watch the opening, commit to memory, then have it in the hopes that I start with white and the opponent plays the way I want him/her/them to play.
I would love for an extended version of this. You're the best chess teacher I've found, and while I loved learning your d4 dynamite with the Tromp and London, I would love to expand my understanding of this opening due to loving the Queen's Gambit Lines of the London.
Man. You are such a good youtuber, i’ve watched a tonne of your videos recently.. From watching your older videos (like this one), where you’re an amazing youtuber and then looking at what you are NOW, you can see how much improvements you’ve made and how good you are!
Levy, I can see why you have so many subs. You were able to break down so many different scenarios on both sides and articulate some theories without giving me a headache. This was 15 minutes well worth the time since I only play the Queen's Gambit with white.
Love that you’ve added some lines for both sides! Perfect introductory series, 10min opening +5min defence of said opening. We generally don’t get to choose our sides, so learning it combined is 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
I find this video very helpfull. I'm learning Queen's gambit for white in all perspectives like accepted-rejected, old, general, the bishop sacrifice and some other defences like the Slav, Indian, Benoni and Budapest. Also I learn by heart the traps and tipical answers to some moves by repetition. The thing I noticed was that every tactics must be reveald in mind firstly. I mean like the purpose of it and its consequences. Tomorrow I'm thinking of fliping the board and see how to play against Queen's gambit. Thank you for your video!
Levy has the best short and sweet summaries for people who never tried an opening, this seems like a really good way to play white because there’s nothing to memorize
Thank you for this I am on my grandmother's computer and have been craving chess. You and Hikaru is the reason I joined the chess community 10 months ago And I have been able to reach a rapid rating of just over 1200 thank you .

This is a little note as I am a beginner and want to learn how to play Queen's Gambit for white side Queen's Gambit : 0:22 If the opponent defends the pawn : 1:35 Queen's Gambit Declined : 2:30 Fish Hook : 3:58 Another thing to do in Queen's Gambit Decline : 5:01 The Slav defense : 5:50 Defend with the knight : 6:43 Baltic Defense : 7:40 Albin Counter Gambit : 8:10 What to do in the Albin Counter Gambit : 9:05
The Queens Gambit is one of my favorites, honestly. You get so much space to develop. I’m aware it’s a gambit, it doesn’t always go as planned, but in cases like that I can always switch it up into a London-inspired system. Edit: the London switcharound can really throw people off in low 1000 elo, I’ve seen. They prepare for queens gambit, if they know the system, and the London is just a surprise that they don’t expect. I would DEFINITELY not say it gives you an immediate advantage, it’s just a small bonk on the nose to your opponent.
"People are going to be very uncomfortable here: Especially beginners, that just want to get a solid Queen's Gambit setup." You make me feel so bad for using this defense now
It is impressive how @GothamChess has created so many of these over the past months and how the quality has somehow kept improving. I may well be too thick to learn much from his courses, but am buying one anyway as this guy deserves coin for all his effort.
i like how in the intro, he says it's another 10 minute opening video. But the video is 4 minutes longer than it was supposed to be, so he just titled it "How To Play The Queen's Gambit"
I played the Queens gambit since I started playing chess from around 900 and now I am 1500 and still play it very much. When I am black tho in 90% of the cases people play e4 and I always play the Sicilian even tho I don't fully understand how to play it.
You have to pay for the analysis board on chess.com but you can also download the lichess app and just use it for the analysis board or even on Google if you can't pay right now.
I always play e3 but I think that's petty because it's for a trick for trapping the rook with your queen. I'm not a master but I think if chess principle says to gain control of the center then e4 is better.
after e4 I sometimes find myself wishing I had a way of attacking f4, especially if there is a knight sitting on it so I tend to go for e3, but I'm not much more than 1400 and a bit of a defensive sort of player....
I'm more of an advanced player, near 1800 on lichess, and i already play the queen's gambit. Lost quite some games in it, so thought that should do some extra secret prep, and your video helped me crazy. thanks for doing what you do.
@@suomusintti hmmmmmm. No really. What Korchnoi meant is that he didn’t study openings, middle games, endings, and theory in general,but rather use and apply enormous amounts of creativity and imagination

Note: There is a Netflix programme "The Queens Gambit" starting soon. The trailer is already available to watch.
I just finished watching it, it's really good and interesting. 🌚
Finding out that Beth isn't real just hurts

Kinda wished you would have talked about the difference between moving your pawn to e3 or e4 after queens gambit accepted but great video nonetheless
I always play e3 but I think that's petty because it's for a trick for trapping the rook with your queen. I'm not a master but I think if chess principle says to gain control of the center then e4 is better.
If u r below 1400 play 3.e3. Because ur opponent might fall for the trap after 3...b5. Otherwise e4 is more aggressive.
after e4 I sometimes find myself wishing I had a way of attacking f4, especially if there is a knight sitting on it so I tend to go for e3, but I'm not much more than 1400 and a bit of a defensive sort of player....
oh yeah, e3 also strengthens d4 which is your key square in the QG
After watch this video, i think a can revenge to my friend after lose for many times, but after 3 move im forgot everythings and lose again 😂😂
I'm more of an advanced player, near 1800 on lichess, and i already play the queen's gambit. Lost quite some games in it, so thought that should do some extra secret prep, and your video helped me crazy. thanks for doing what you do.
How to play the Queen's gambit? Just look it up on Netflix bruh
Lmao
The thumbnail 😂 you nailed it!
Interesting, but I rather go with Korchnoi: “I don’t study. I create” - or something around those lines
‘
Then creates a better version of the queens gambit where you gambit the queen to confuse the enemy
@@suomusintti hmmmmmm. No really. What Korchnoi meant is that he didn’t study openings, middle games, endings, and theory in general,but rather use and apply enormous amounts of creativity and imagination
@@camilorojas1744 so you telling me he barely studied opening but managed to go toe to toe with Karpov?
@@camilorojas1744 he lost to Karpov but u get what im saying
What a fantastic video!! I'm new to chess and this was super easy to understand and helpful! Thank you so much!!

“AH! BLACK IS ATTACKING ME.”😂😂😂
Thanks these videos have been helping me to recognize patterns and line more often. Then respond wrong less often.
Instructions unclear. Accidentally sacrificed king

Lmao your right
Underrated comment
"If you're playing someone around your level and they're not cheating, then they don't have a computer." Classic ;) What about a smartphone, though? xD Love your videos, Levi. Keep them coming :D
Smartphone is a computer too fam
@@ss2smallhours nah bud
He looks a bit like Orlando bloom here
The thing about Openings and chess videos is that there is soooooo much possibilities they could do
13:32 "it does not really matter what the computer wants" lit
Who is here after watching the Queens Gambit on netflix?
Me
@@Daniel-qz8kc you?

Wtf Levy how are you reading my mind?? I had literally spent days watching some English opening videos then you posted your video...for the last three days I've been studying the QGD and now this comes up.🙄
Literally same. This just blew me away.
This called the RUclips ALGORITHM .....😁😁😉
Study the Petrov's Defence, thanks.
Omar Sheik why? It’s crap lol
@@joejitsu034 It's crap if your rating is lower than 2800, there is a forced draw if both players play the theory, but the theory is like 30 moves deep I believe Fabiano Caruana plays it
