These rating climbs are so enjoyable, just watching this guy absolutely destroy these 1200 rated players

Thought I'd show you all how not to play the caro kann, you're welcome 😉

These rating climbs are gold. So fun to watch, very instructive, and watching you interact with the chat makes it more entertaining.

The second last game looked the most like defenses I actually face when playing games in my range (1150-1300). Really handy to watch how you handled it.

[carrots]

I find it really cute how he tells the chat to say bye to youtube and they all do. :)

40:59 your heart is racing? "don't worry, it shouldn't race." ill stop it right now.

You got me laughing when you said I didn’t know I was playing Botez. 😂 Nice video as usual.

[jmcaliney]

Just want to say while there aren't many comments. I love your videos and you have helped me climb like 300+ in ratings. Thanks so much.

[lookatme]

Facial expressions are absolute king!! Commentary is just an added bonus. I am not laughing, my own mistakes are just as bad if not worse at times. Chess is always easier when you are watching.

So I was a 1300 otb classical went 5/6 at Illinois state board 5 4 months after learning chess and what he was saying at 11:03 is entirely true. I worked my ass off but my natural pattern recognition was always very strong

Levy was trying to bait that queen move which would win the queen once you take the knight with the dark square bishop.

But Levy rolled a d20 scoring a critical on his speech check.

[MsGangstaSwagga]

[PAPPADASH]

Every time someone hangs a queen early in my games I say "Was that book?" people get heated.

[StNicolausVI]

Hangs queen, Levy: "That's how it goes when you are 1200"... me: meanwhile climbing throught the 700's and never have been above 1000...
