Some ideas for educational content-
1) Understanding the balance between tempo and threat (gaining tempo via gambits and losing it for a necessary slow move)
2) Making quiet moves in attacking positions (Switching between attacking and positional moves)
3) Sacrificing pieces in a closed position at the correct time
4) Common traps in the opening and how to defend against them
5) General opening ideas to advance into the enemy position once the pieces are out
6) Identifying moves that look dangerous but aren't and moves that don't look dangerous but are
7) King safety in the center (When castling isn't necessary)
8) Difference in play at different time controls (Why a strong bullet player doesn't necessarily translate to a strong rapid player and vice versa)
9) Engine games and learning from their restricting style of play even at the cost of material
10) How to better evaluate game reviews, learn from your mistakes and fine tune your repertoire (understanding your style of play and your weakness)

Ps- I'd also enjoy watching opening and endgame theory and puzzles but that's fairly obvious.

Levy ain't joking around with these educational videos anymore. And I'm all for it.

Levy: “play the London, it’ll take you far far!”
Also Levy: “play this against the London. London players are gonna hate you!”
I feel betrayed😂

Levy: “This isn’t a win fast video.”

I’ve been playing without knowing any openings and this video helped me a lot I like instantly went from 800 to 850 winning 5 games in a row. I’m still going up

Chess really is the most beautiful game ever created by humans. Whoever created it was a true visionary because it's an incredibly complex and fun game that requires creativity

Levy is literally reading my mind.
I just looked up yesterday what the best openings are and I also looked for some endgame courses.
Thank you so much gotham for this educational content.

I just love how Levy explains chess concepts. Love listening to him, such a natural teacher❤️

The london weapon is perfect. I’ve always wanted something solid against london that doesn’t lead to the ultra boring positions (in my opinion) that london usually does. That actually looks like quite fun to play.

Levy!!

Thanks so much for the educational content!

I've been watching it bit by bit cause half ill (hope the algorithm goes well), I just really want to say that yes, the combination of recaps + educational + guessthestuff is perfect, and yes, I already was missing the educational!

Slowly but surely we will get better!!

Gotta digest the video, still watching it, here we go!

[be_like_aghorie]

Personally... I'm just obsessed with Kings Gambit.. just loving how mysterious it is...

[everydaffodil]

Levy I’m 1600 rapid and I know you say to look elsewhere at a certain level but the way you explain things is the best. Can you please make more content for intermediate/advanced players? I’d watch every minute!

[DMM]

I always play the London with white. Got me from 500-1300 in a few months 👌🏻

[montague]

Bro I’ve played this fianchetto Dutch for years and now it’s no longer secret! Got me so many beautiful wins. Simultaneously happy that it’s getting recognition and sad that people will know how to play about it!

Im very new to chess and watching your videos has really hoped. Every time Ive plateaud I keep playing and I watch your videos and really try to understand and eventually theres a break through. Just yesterday I had a 12 (2 weird early resignations) game streak and I jumped up to low 700's from high 500's. Main difference has been just slowly but surely developing and taking up space with pawns. What I used to do is just try to get the pieces out and hope for the best, and Id often end up with most pawns still on the second rank in early mid game. Just taking space with pawns has made a huge difference lol. Love the game excited to learn more and THANK YOU for the knowledge

I do very much enjoy your content. I’m teaching my son how to play and your channel has been extremely helpful. Thank you so much!

Appericiate the effort you put into these, even if the videos don't do as well as your others, people like me still find these super helpfull and I hope these comments will discourage you from not making them.
You explain these openings in an easy to understand and intriguing way, making me wanna try new things in chess and I'm sure there are more people like me that feel the same way

Keep up the great work and I'll be looking forward to the next one ;)
