Do people understand how difficult it is to teach Chess at every level from 200 to 2000 ?? Like the way you teach a 200 is so different than a 2000 but Levy does both effortlessly and every rating in between. That's actually the real skill in my opinion. Very impressive.

[obidamnkenobi]

Great series! I gained 300 ELO, lost 20 lbs, and my children love me again! Thank you Levy!

[hamzaparwani]

1st day learning chess and I feel I have stumbled to the best channel for it

[ButlersTraining]

50:18 "to go forward, go backwards" levy also dropping some philosophical knowledge all the while teaching me to not lose games. mans a legend

[characterwheaties]

Dude I love the “You shouldn’t do this, BUT IMMA DO IT!” moves and the instruction that goes with them. More please.

[johnwalker]

First 13 minutes of the video:

That has got to be the strongest 200 ELO player I've ever seen. I think he deserves an honorary GM title for that segment.

[lindyfreeman]

Love the series. So many tell you what to do but not why. The “why” actually teaches. The “what” merely shows.

[jonahbresler]

Honestly that first 200 player was amazing

[BakeZhangozha]

Gotta say yogadad played well. If Levy analyzed that game as part of guess the elo, he would've given him at least 600-700

[trizgo_]

15:20 If a check can be blocked by a pawn, it's a bad check
20:20 avoid trading queens when you're down material
23:30 this whole lesson about making sure you don't stalemate
36:19 if your rook isn't participating in the game, is it really worth it's 5 points?
43:13 when and why to attack knights with pawns early
see THESE are the kinds of tips i'm looking for as a low elo player, thank you so much Levy <3

[arnavazheydari]

I love the "I'm going to make this mistake so you won't" parts because as the game goes on we get to see how a move that didn't seem bad at the time could be really dangerous for us later on in the game. You're an amazing teacher Levy great video

[KV-gymr]

YogaDad is not 200 player. His rapid is 596, but in my experience he was playing at atleast 700+ level. He saw the checkmate threats while coming up with his own ideas. Sure he didn't see the pawn forking the K and B, but come on, I have seen 900+ players blunder lot worse!

Dont know how he dropped from 900+ to 596.

200-300 games blunder pieces and queens not just pawns. You dont need to fork them to win their pieces. They just give them to you.

This series will be great for players just getting into chess but also players who are stuck at a rating, thanks Levy!

[lukegordon]

This is basically an hour free coaching lesson. Loved every second of it

[brandonjohnson]

As a very casual but frequently hyperfixated player these catch up tutorials are so nice. Sometimes I will spend a month just grinding chess and learning everything I can and then life will get in the way and I'll spend months not thinking about this game. It's amazing to catch up with levy this way and jump back into the game.

[JunctionWatcher]

Yes Yogadad… straight in with the 200 elo Caro… get in can’t wait to see it.

[shilpaprajapati]

Me: *"Pawns are stupid, they block my rooks!"*
Levy: *"Pawns are so lethal, they take so much space."*
Alphazero: *"Pawns are stupid, they block my rooks!"*

[tipr]

Yogadad is prob a 200 bc he has to resign 80% of his games bc his kids are fighting over who gets to put a screwdriver into the tire to make the minivan faster

[iemzieezz]

that was the strongest 200 ive ever seen
