"poked around a little bit, and we ended up mating" - Levy 2022

[devjubin]

The favorite thing about this series is the fact that he acts like he's a lower rated player and makes the common mistakes all 1000 elo and below make and explains how to correct it!!! Really love your content Levy!!

[herrcrash]

I am convinced that teaching in general is an extremely difficult thing to do but Levy is honestly one of the best teachers I‘ve ever seen. I love this

[booperbonkerton]

1:00:03 I'm doing good man. My grades are good, I got really good family-related news today, and I hit my highest rapid rating ever today of 850 after playing chess for a month. Thank you for the videos

[collinbuchanan]

me: Qa3 looks good, hitting the pawn and attacking that open space
Gotham: I can go Qa3 but that’s a completely ridiculous move and can be easily parried
Me: Yup that’s what I was thinking, let’s try something else

[trent]

Levy: "I want to keep these videos about 40 minutes."
Also Levy: Releases next video at 1h17mins.

Hi Levy. Since watching these two episodes I have won 10 of my last 12 games and gone from 820 to 915, this is the most instructive content I’ve enjoyed from you so far. Thanks for putting out daily videos, I don’t miss a single one, either entertainment or instructional. Keep doing what you’re doing man!

[utygfkuygughg]

Went from solid 600 to solid 750 after one episode…. Best series yet. He literally gets inside my head and explains why my flawed logic doesn’t work at my level.

[infantiltinferno]

Levy giggling as he's playing low-rated moves just says it all. Great stuff.

[pedroivanfernandes]

44:21 Levy missing M1 on purpose just to show how to win the endgame... You can see how he hovers over the rook then changes his mind. It's those tiny details that make a great teacher

[CrispyBaconYT]

When you see a move immediately and then Levy starts talking about the different options and saying that the move you were thinking was a very advanced option :D

Levy : Eat the pawns.
Subtitles (CC) : Eat the ponds.
Me : *searches how to eat ponds*

The Frandinavian combines the loss of tempo of the Scandy with the terrible French bishop for maximum sadness

[hilmidwiputranto]

levy in guess the elo is like normal gordon ramsay, levy in this series is like ramsay when dealing with kids

[svenbootsma]

Honestly, I think this is one of the most enjoyable series so far! It’s really nice to see you play “like” a lower-rated player. Learning a lot here! Also, these hour long videos are great; your voice is nice to listen to

[AceWolf]

I like how a lot of mates with many pieces on the board tend to have something backing the mating piece, but I love that 27:05 the queen mates with no backup.

[drtheengrumb]

HANDS DOWN your new best series. I love this and it is EXTREMELY helpful. By the way, your channel has raised my ELO over 400 in the last month alone and I am proud to say I rank in the 1600's now. Thanks Gotham!!!! PLEASE keep em coming.

[Vista.highlights]

It's unbelievable how much effort it takes to become a grandmother in chess. Even Levy who does chess daily is still an international master.

[umutcancoskun]

25:42 Qa3 is a perfect move that wins a piece if black doesn't want to lose knight then he loses queen. There is the moves: Qa3 c5 d×c6 Qe7 Bd6 or Qa3 Qe7 d6 c×d6 and again B×d6
