I love how eloquent Levy is in this video, whereas, in his more recent ones he’s straight up roasting you.

Best pleb summary of this video: Memorize the London System and Kings Indian and superfocus on them for life!

[thomasmacfarlane]

This is the calmest I've ever seen Levy

*Do not follow the setup openings blindly.*

Be aware that the opponent can still capture the pieces you put forward, based on their opening. Just look out for possible dangers before making a move.

Back in my childhood I used to spend hours and hours playing chess, and just a couple of months back, during the corona crisis, I started playing again. I got the love back, the passion. I am so glad
to find great people like you uploading these videos. An easy way to understand the fundamentals of chess.

I know there's a very low chance that Levy ever sees this, but I'd love to see long form content that just briefly explains, let's say, the top 10-15 most popular openings and what to do against them. Would be great stream content, maybe a five part series, maybe just dropping a fat 90 minute VOD on the main channel. Would help out a lot so I don't have to go out of my way learning every opening out there, just see the general ideas of the most important openings to remember.

The only opening ive ever seen and learned is the bongcloud, i didn’t know there was anything else

Really helpful and well made video:

- Clear and concise
- Different levels of complexity but keeping it "simple" throughout
- Good starting point to delve deeper

Started on specific openings (your videos) but good thing I found this as they feel like a continuation of basic concepts (for total beginner at least).

Finally a video that really explains it, without doing complicated quick moves using terminology I don’t understand, thank you!

[thenerdgamer]

3:42 Ah yes, the famous "hat" pattented by fuslie, very nice.

[dukepande]

Levy is too polite and civilised here.... It's making me uncomfortable

[LowSociety]

Why did you let Ron sacrifice himself instead of you in The Sorcerer’s Stone?

[ShreyasGupta]

Still can't understand how this guy has so less subs and views

Edit: Oh man I remember making this comment when this guy had less than 5k subs here, and now look at him, lets go Levy

[matthewerickson]

I'm really appreciating your coaching material. Your getting really good at teaching and making concepts understandable.

[LukeinTX]

very good, thank you. I studied this video carefully after losing 3 speed chess games last night and won 3 games this morning using your openings you describe. I wrote down the openings for both black and white and used them. I am getting back into chess after many years of not playing and I never have really studied the game but now I am. Ive even bought a couple of books and they are useful as well. What I am seeing so far is without a sound opening strategy your chances of winning or even preventing a disastrous game are slim. So after this morning I m back up to just over a 1000 but hope to continue to improve my game and my rating from your instruction and the books I am reading. thanks again.

You're a great communicator and chess teacher. I'd love in the opening to also recognize when I can deviate from opening principles because my opponent made an opening error. A title like, "Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist, " I think would be tantalizing to watch. Examples of breaking the rules in the opening, mid, and endgame would all be fun and educational to watch.
