    It's like a teacher retiring. You can't retire Levy, and leave us students behind. You taught me so much.
    I gained back my interest to chess in mid 2020. I forgot the rules, heh, I even forgot how to use en passant. I asked my dad to teach me, but I didn't understand that well. Then I came across your videos. Everything changed. I started watching and studying chess on your channel for hours in my room. I then joined a chess club in my school, and a chess school. It was amazing, everybody was using the famous "and he sacrifices... THE ROOKKKKK". I am glad to find people who I can fit in their interests. We went to tournaments, championships and competitions. We didn't really care about the prizes, we mostly cared that we had our friends there.
    Well Levy, here I am. Sacrificing the rooks and beating pawns.

      Almost agree. A bit disrespectful to the subscribers though. Apparently many subscribers actually seem to believe there is a risk that Levi is quitting. If he quits it will for sure not be because of a single random game between two low ELO players.
      Then again, I believe Levi knows that most subscriber know that he knows they know this is just part of the show; therefore, all is good.
      Apart from that, the game was very educational. Actually, a British GM (he is not the King of Chess on RUclips) made a good video around forced stalemates, which can be a nice tactic in games which seem to be lost already.

Back then I was rated 600 and had a life goal of making it to 1000. I'm so happy to say that, largely due to learning about the game from gotham chess videos, I am now rated 1240!

And I absolutely hate loosing by making dumb moves, so I appreciate your own journey and struggles to master the game. I keep coming back to this channel for inspiration.

    Years back, while working at a pub with my trademark 'mum-haircut', a stylish Italian barber showed up. He called me a schmuck and offered a free haircut if I played him in 3 chess games. With little experience in both chess and haircuts, I accepted. For 3 years, I got crushed every week, but I kept coming back for the fresh skin fade. Now, I win most games and look sharp doing it!
