Chat seriously underestimates how solid 1700s can be

[kaderiddle]

I appreciate him saying it’s hard 1400+. It is definitely where is starts to get rather tough and you rely on your tactics and opening knowledge, not just your opponent pulling a botez gambit.

Hey dude I just gotta say by far the most helpful thing in helping me win has been stopping at critical moments and imagining how you would react in the situation if you were using that moment to teach me, you would sneer and be like "and just look. LOOK. Look at how disgusting this move is here." And you would do something so simple that I would overlook it and it just wins the game.
Your smugness and appreciation about the cheekiness of chess has greatly helped my winrate.

49:32 flying insect distract Levy
53:45 Levy solve the problem

34:20 shredding opened the position, then talking about Shrodinger's cat, very impressive

[cloudownsyounoob]

The Caro at the end where you played an equal position was the most instructive thing I've seen in a while. I struggle in those positions a lot.

Shout out to the first chess video that got me hooked back to chess. Because of your courses Levy, the last year my rating has climbed from 700 to 1550. Go get his courses people!!!🔥
