700 rated player: hangs a pawn against an IM

Levy: *surprised pikachu face*

[augmentedjester]

Watching Levy, every move makes sense and I think I'm beginning to understand. Then load up a game... absolutely nothing goes right. Continue watching Levy.

[Chandyman]

“I was called the most arrogant chess player by someone.. which is really impressive on my part”😂😂😂 say what you will guys Levys got jokes

[notanine]

Finally starting to play opponents around your actual rating, I see

[woodenfences]

People sometimes confuse flamboyance with arrogance. You have all my admiration for your original, talented and generous teaching of the game.

[DerangedAussieMan]

1:40 "People on YouTube are very critical of when I call my opponents weird or criticise some of their moves, so... he's not weird, he's just creative."
HAHAHAHA

[bartholomewtheapostle]

“Don’t always take en passant just because you can.”

Unsubscribed.

[RJRSharp]

"He lost a queen and two rooks to a pawn in 3 moves"
5 min later, unironically:
"This guy is a savant of defense!"

[GothamChess]

WELCOME everyone! Hope you enjoy. You can use the timestamps in the description/video timeline to see every opening played and my response. For those who want to support financially, my opening courses are in the video description. See you in Parts 2 and beyond. Cheers 🍷

[fal]

The reason I love watching him is his personality. I find it hilarious and entertaining while learning something

[omsable]

I don't think he should be called the most rude chess player on YouTube.
Coz me literally when i play online : " WTF is he playing"

[wepe]

Levy: " oh no, oh no, don't do that..." on opponent move
Me: " oh no, oh no, don't do that..." on my move

[MysticLoveASMR]

He’s not arrogant like people want to claim he is. An arrogant person would never admit a mistake or being wrong and correct themselves.

I like you Levi. Keep doing you. Great teacher 👌

[akifulislam]

25:41 - "lucky for me I'm an IM" is the most passive aggressive dialogue on the internet today, god bless Levy

[Evilanious]

Levi, I hope the comments aren't getting to you. There is a billion assholes with an opinion on the internet and focusing on the worst insults thrown your way can really make you miserable. I've seen it happen to other content creators.

[sangwiny]

Rook: *teleports to f4* Nothing personnel kid

[benjym]

I feel like I’m getting his e4 course for free

[ghcgsvi]

When Levy made that _"It's mainline theory Levy"_ impression I died :D.

[overlayklips]

The best part of playing chess is when the opponent blunders.

[ilmanti]

All I'm getting is:
- Don't get low on time (so that maybe we don't lose the next sub battle against Hikaru one move away from mate goddammit guys)
