Welcome new chess fans! Anyone here after watching the Netflix miniseries?

Watching chess videos: "Yeah, that's easy and makes sense"
Actually playing chess: "Well, didn't see that. There goes my queen"

[jvillzy]

I invented a move called the Queens blunder. You offer up your queen and then resign straight after

I don't know why it was so hard for me to find videos that don't just explain the first 1-3 basic pawn moves for each opening, but the actual follow ups to each counter as well. This is the first video of yours that I have seen, and it is the the most helpful Chess video I have ever seen. Thank you sir!

Levy is remarkably articulate. 14 minutes of straight talking, very few ums and ahs, clear development of ideas. Some vloggers cannot get two sentences together without a cut, an edit and a reset.

[patricioiglesias]

For me:
Queen's gambit accept 1:32
Queen's gambit decline 3:57
Bishop bait trap 4:21
Slav defense 6:00
Defend with knight (Marshall defense) 6:43
Albin countergambit 8:10

Levy's shirt makes him look like hes gonna ram a line of coke at a rave and then fight off like 13 asian dudes

[viciousimpaler]

"Levy this is a Queen's Gambit video why is the London here?"

Well, it's obvious isn't it?

[woozi]

I feel like I am learning something, but I don't know what.

[ErmisSouldatos]

Beginners' chess principle: you have to keep material when possible
Gambits: *you can yeet that out of the window*

12:35 When I am blitzing out all the moves confidently and suddenly realize that I am a rook down.

[zamsden]

There is more information packed in ~15 minutes here than most hour long classes I've seen, and more importantly, instead of just running off lines, you explain the actual ideas behind the line. Excellent video.

Levy always finds a way to put the london in no matter what topic it is

Levy: "IM and up always know the time on the clock"

I actually invented a new opening called the “accelerated queens gambit” which is were you unintentionally gambit your queen and scream “fuck” at the top of your lungs

[basberendsofficial]

A fun accepted queens gambit trap:
1. d4 d5
2. c4 d5xc4
3. e3 b5
4. a4 c6
5. a4xb5 c6xb5
6. Qf3

So here you win at least a knight (6. ... knight c6
7. Qxc6+ )
But most people will think they get forked after taking the knight and will just give up the rook.
(You don’t actually get forked, black can play Bd7 and they attack the queen and defend the rook with their queen.) :)

Im gonna sacrifice my queen every game after looking at that thumbnail

My first tournament game ever was against the Queen's Gambit. I was about 1000 strength then. I played the Semi-Slav without any prep (basically tried to play logical moves and ended up with a Semi-Slav). Huge fight. I got a passed pawn that I eventually lost, and we fought into an endgame with equal material where my opponent finally managed to get an unstoppable pawn on the 7th rank. We each had about 50s of time left. That guy won the tournament. I placed 4th by winning the rest of my games. It wasn't a very strong tournament.
