“Most common endgame”


Pawn starts on E2

I can see his efforts to teach us, in his eyes

[sinception]

watching this with 2 minutes left in a blitz game

The real king learns the king and pawn endgames

[noelic]

It makes me think the king is walking the pawn down the aisle to make it his new queen. lol

[mros]

you are an IM in the FIDE RANKING but you are a grandmaster in the teaching for sure

[frankveeren]

I always found it easier to draw a diagonal line from the pawn towards my opponent King, until it reaches the 8th or 1st rank, then use it as the diagonal of the square. It doesn't involve actual counting and it is faster to visualize specially during blitz or bullet matches. Thank you for the video, Levy

Man i was shocked. I asked to make a chess endgame tips video today when he asked what to do.Thanks for making this video.pls make more endgame videos like 2 bishop endgame, bishop, knight endgame etc....😀

[zhingyifai]

Bruh. You explained the opposition better than anyone ever did in all of the videos about it that I have seen.

You're a natural coach Levy.

[Lets_MakeItSimple]

If I had 99 dollars i;d definitely buy your course. You may not be a GM but youre an ammmazing teacher.

[kunalchaudhari]

This video has changed my perspective to look at king

[michaeldey]

You are an excellent teacher. I have been playing AT chess for 67 years. Some great games, mostly terrible endings. Since I found you I have been devouring your wisdom and have raised my Rapid Chess Score from 650 to 1250-1300. Obviously I have much to learn still. Please keep adding content and I also enjoy your many other chess offerings.

That is exactly what i am going say, "Are you stupid!! did you not watch GothamChess video" whenever someone does something stupid

[claytonberry]

Enjoy all of your videos - great passion and fun comes through.
For the teaching ones, what I really like is how you show the 'why' of "what not to do" so clearly.
Many people say "do this, trust me", but that's not teaching.
All of this was perfect - K and pawn basics - opposition, shouldering, the square.

[davidzakaryan]

I CANT LET YOU GET CLOSE! 😳 So awesome to see that Levy is an MMA fan.

[ozzyfromspace]

I read about GothamChess on Wikipedia and we both learned chess at the same time (age of 6). But I kinda just played “for fun”, whereas he read books, practiced, and got really freakin’ good! He put up really salient advice at the end there: “Chess is hard. You’ve gotta do the work”. I hear you, boss. Maybe it’s not too late for me to cross 2000+ consistently

edit (8 months later):
now at 2150, still learning 🙏🏽

[ayushanuroop]

Me : OK lets push the pawn.
Levy : 4:58
Me : OK fine, jeez 🙄

[patrickdrake]

Your videos are the best bro. No complicated lingo, clearly described. I run a team at my school and the kiddos watch your videos all the time. Thank you.

When it comes to distant opposition, it a good idea to look at it as an odd number of squares between you and the opponent's king after your move
