After 50 losses against computer lv5, I finally beat it with Stonewall opening. Thank you for your guidance.

8 minutes and 27 seconds for a 10 minute video? This guy is efficient!

When I go to a bar or library, women play this defence against me every time

[georgecolby]

This has a similar feel as the London opening you did. I've been practicing and studying the London quite a bit as a low rated player, and I love it. The importance of Ne5 is similar. With this being similar I think it can be my next step to develop, adding it to my repertoire. Thanks for another awesome video.

When it comes to complete beginners like myself, it's weird how none of my opponents play any of the expected moves you've shown lol. I'm kinda forced to wing it on move 3.

I know I'm late, but this has to be one of the best videos on any kind of chess theory. You're not just giving us theory to memorize, but explaining why it became theory.

[laserbean]

I never thought that learning chess openings could be this easy. I started learning chess when I was a kid and youtube didn't even exist back then. Thanks for the great videos!

I didn't know this positon, I thought it was gonna be an hyper defensive position and I watched the video to learn how to fight it.
Little did I know this would become my favourite attack against king's indian defence and attack.

Every move has a purpose, he says. I say, "You have never seen me play"😂😂😂

[mikezak]

1:25 into the video, I feel N-KB5 is better. I was surprised by this opening, playing black against a friend who I never played before back in 1990. I instinctively castled queenside feeling the pressure on my kingside. This baffled my friend and I won. Over years he proved to be the better player slightly, but we had many hours of great chess. He taught me the stonewall and our playing enhanced both of our games. Great video. Like the style.

Hey Levy, I hope this message of thanks reaches you. I just want to say I watched most of your 10 minute opening videos and decided I would write 2 of them down, 1 for black, 1 for white. I settled on the Stonewall Defense as white, and on the Dutch defense for black (still need to find an opening sequence for when they start e4). With these 2 openings I have been playing 10+0 rapid for a few weeks now and I love the stonewall opening. It feels very sturdy and yet open. I do crumble to aggressive play sometimes, but I have seen my rating climb from 1100 to 1200 already. Keep making these great videos and I'll keep watching :)

Love any type of fruity bubble tea smoothie.

For content, watching the twitch coaching sessions has helped me because the streamers ask questions i didnt think about or will sometimes blunder and the coach uses a tactic to hard punish. This helped me understand "once you find a good move, try to find a better one" and understanding why you're making a certain move is crucial

Had a pineapple smoothie once that was bomb

[TheWookyman]

I'm not falling for the smoothie ploy and leaving an inconsequential comment just to boost your Youtube Metrics or whatever.

You are the best teacher, i rewatch your videos repeatedly to absorb it and use it on my next games. My favorite smoothie is a bunch of berries and bananas and some sugar and milk lol, or milkshake would be banana, cinnamon, vanilla extract, milk, and sugar.. pure heaven. Before i even ask what video you can do, imma watch the rest of your videos so i dont ask for a repeat lol, and ill have a better answer. Thank you for the videos and how passionate you are and really explain it from your level so simply that beginners can understand. Albert Einstein said if you can't explain something simply, you don't understand it enough. I've watched dozens of your videos and each one you you do that and you walk us thru and show us different situations and opens our minds to thinking way ahead and more critically, you go above and beyond. I love this game even more after watching your videos. Seeing how fun chess can be, the tactics, making them move where u want them to like a sheep dog to sheep, beginning to predict enemies moves (one of the times i got high and played chess, i predicted this person's moves literally like 10 times in a row... i was like 😳🕷🧍‍♂️🕸🤟🤣), and the mental battle between the two opponents is like a dance, so graceful, it's beautiful 🥲💚

Never found such clear chess video explanation, please keep it coming

[dougveganparadisebuilder]

Thank you for this free lesson. I will try out the black version in my blitz games. I started learning chess when I was 10. No internet and the club I joined had a book for beginners. The youngsters of today probably take great advantage of the information on the web. Anyway I never learned real opening theory until now that I watched a lot on YouTube. In the old days I often made my Chinese stonewalls, from left to right over the entire board.

[virgocanasa]

Sir I am very thankful that I saw your stonewall defense video because I am a chess player here in Philippines only using stonewall. That is why I really appreciate your ideas.
