[greywolf]

Can we all just take a second to appreciate that the worst blunders always happen after our longest calculation?

[leninheads]

Levy: if you're under 1000 you're a beginner

Me who just got to 1003 today: I don't have such weaknesses

[Michas]

i watch gothamchess, randomly get inspired to play chess, blunder the queen, go back to just watching chess

[TioMagic]

what is the checklist again?
-checks
-captures
-attacks
-forcing moves
-what is defending what
-what are the weaknessess
-before checking what you can do try to see what they can do to you?

" Or for people that are under 1000, it's making sure you don't hang a piece in 1 move".

He really did us dirty

[chew]

400's be like: I don't need to calculate, I just use my brain

Levy may not be a GM Chess player yet, but he sure is a GM in teaching! Thanks for this.

Something I tell my students is to always look at where your or your oponent moved to and where they moved from. That will catch a lot of the removal-of-defender mistakes. Also another good piece of advice is to look for 3 alternatives and then pick the best. This can often slow you down enough to catch mistakes and I find it can significantly improve your game.

Levy be like: "who cares about being chess champion when i can be r/anarchychess supreme overlord"

[stgrozdanovic]

This is how i understood it:
Opening=By the book, occasional changes (depends on the situation)
Midgame=Calculation is key
Endgame=You can study some paterns, but, if you are winning in material, you'll figure it out.

"Or for my under 1000, not hanging a piece in 1 move."

Or if you're rated 1660, don't hang a piece on move 6.

[richardkeller]

For new players a good rule of thumb is to win the middle. It also makes it harder for other person to calculate and blocks a lot of quick wins.

[onhgcyk]

checklist
-what does the opponent want?
-do i have any captures? what does it do if anything?
-checks
-attacks
-forcing moves
-what is defending what
-what are the weaknesses
-check what they can do not only what you do

“You need to calculate your opponents moves”
Me who can’t even calculate my own: :(

8:01 "This game begins with.. okay, q sicilian defense, but át 670 there is no such thing as the sicilian defense." Lol that was harsh

[jonathanhenderson]

Just recently got back into chess after not playing for over 20 years and trying to relearn everything I forgot, and this has probably been the most helpful video I've seen so far. Really helping me get back into the mindset that came so naturally when I was 12-13.
