That Caro-kann video actually helped me correct my inaccuracies in my games. Keep up the good work.

I'm just staring at Levy's lamp subconsciously because it's so mesmerizing

Today I made my first brilliant move and it happened in a bullet game… just wanted to share with the Gotham community

[abrahamthayer]

I'd just like to say that waking up after partying the night before and just sitting down and watching this super hungover is like the only way I survive those mornings

This is gonna sound like a backhanded compliment, but I really enjoy these episodes where you're more relaxed. You sound much more yourself (without trying to make jokes all the time that can be both good and not-so-good), and this type of content is really instructive.

I love how Levy uses 33% off codes as an incentive to watch a video I was already gonna finish lol

Levy: Ima just get my king out of the center first before I really attack
Mouseslip: *Im about to end this man's whole career*

Levy, I’m not really one to comment like this, I’m moving to College tomorrow (UK) and have been super stressed today so just wanted to say thanks for the video as its keeping me occupied and less nervous!!

[grimblegromblethegnome]

Honestly this might be my favorite GothamChess series. It's interesting seeing how games unfold at different rating levels.

You gotta give it to Levy, he's a marketing genius. Making opening videos on which he has courses, then hiding a promo code for those courses in a video. He of course also provides great content :)

“Win at Chess: Episode 17, 1200-1700”
*mouseslips king-side castling for Kf1 in game 1* 4:35 😂😂😂 that was just too funny not to have a clip repeat timestamp somewhere, love ya Gotham <3

Hey! Long time since the last episode of this series, love it coming back!

Hi Gotham, I love your videos, you are an amazing youtuber, and probably a better tutor than actually meaning to tutor people. Because of your Caro Kann opening, I reached 1200, sadly I dropped to 1170, but im still winning a lot of games. Because of how much people you have gained, I decided to make my own youtube channel, your recaps and win at chess episodes switched my brain in an intermediate level, I cant thank you enough, chesstalk, agadmator, GM Hikaru dont match up to as great of a teacher you are. You are basically the Youtube Chess God!! I still cant believe after 2 months of watching you, I havent subscribed! Thanks for the memes, the lessons, the recaps, and everything you made. I love your clips channel also!! You are truely a legend, hopefull you get the GM title in those 2 tournaments.

Not all that long ago it was a 25% off on course, I think I'll just wait another month or so until I can get 40% off.

[SomeRandomDevOpsGuy]

loved the nice long video with excellent tips and thought-process. Please more of these!
(Also, the idea of re-doing some of your opening videos is the GOAT.)

p.s. I just bought the intermediate boot camp. I am about to start going to some OTB tournaments and think it could really help. I really love all your great instruction, passion for chess, and fun personality.

Hi Levy, just wanted you to know how much i appreciate the content. Today I broke 1100 rating coming from mid 800s from the past few months. Blitz rose from 500 to 800 too just from watching your content; specially the openings. Always looking forward to more of your videos man.
