      Could white have been shown Qxd4, winning knight. From there if black plays exd4 then Ne4+ forking king and queen, this exchanging down with white being up a minor piece, better pawn structure and basically no pressure after 0-0 and d3?! (alternatively black merely moves out of check but loses the knight and it's queenside pressuring ways)

    If at all possible (and it may be impossible since you have so many videos), it would be really fantastic if the various chess lesson videos you have could be organized into a playlist. They don't all have consistent titles and they can be a little hard to find. For example, this video is named "1 hour Beginner Chess Lesson with TierZoo", but then the next lesson with Tierzoo is named "Teaching TierZoo #2: Easy Openings for Black". These types of videos are excellent educational material so I think it would be beneficial to organize them into a playlist so that everyone can easily find them all. I understand though if time does not permit that sort of thing. Thanks for the informational content!

    As Mike Kummer always reminds me "ATTACK THE PIN", I like to think of it as building up the pressure rather than releasing it, quite often by attacking the pin you end up with situations that win material

      @dylanstevenson7488 3 года назад +1

      you're exactly right as it becomes forcing for your opponent to give up the material. if you aren't gaining from taking a pin, adding pressure can often win in situations.

      I'm a 600 and I also saw most of them, but it's easier if you aren't actually playing against someone. I know my problem is that I get tunnel vision and can only see like a fourth of the board at the time when I get nervous, so I miss normally easy to see stuff.

    I have watched & enjoyed many of your vids. But this is BY FAR my favorite, even though it's "beginner" stuff. I'm an intermediate, but I learned some good things here! You can tell a lot from how a person teaches an aprentice something they are an expert at. You are patient, thorough, creative, supportive, compassionate and passionate in your style and demeanor. But MOST importantly, there is a WARMTH in your teaching. Too many "experts" (chess & other skills) have a superior, condescending and sometimes even punitive edge to their delivery. What shines out to me here is your love for turning beginners on to the WONDERS of chess! My respect level for you Levy has just made a quantum leap! Thank You so much for this video!

This is excellent teaching!!!

For the past few days I'm like "WAIT WHAT'S QXE6??? F2?? WHAT IS THAT????" and I learned some basic openings. So Today (after taking a break from chess) I played with him again and I FINALLY WON! AFTER LOSING 11 MATCHES OMG! I'm so happy!!!! Thank you!!!
    P.S. In one of your old video you said "not to get tunnel vision and always check where is the opening and if I'm under attack" and that's what I used. AND WON!!! NEVER GET TUNNEL VISION DURING A GAME!
