Apparently, for the last 30 years, whenever somebody asks my mom to play chess (i.e. my brother and me), she agrees on the condition that if she wins, she never has to play that person again. Then, she busts out the Scholar's Mate and drops the mic. I don't even think she knows for sure how the pieces move, but she doesn't have to, she just knows those four moves lol

My son is 6 and recently somehow became obsessed with chess despite never having seen a chess board before. I have never played seriously. I used to casually play against my own dad to get dominated again and again. So when he asked to play, I got a board and found your channel to learn the basics again.

Thank you for having all this amazing content! It won't take long for my boy to be better than I am. He's smarter than most kids. But for now time to take these lessons and go humiliate this kid while I can.

The Ponziani is such a good opening, mostly because it's so trappy but even if they don't fall into your traps you still get very good positions

In all my years of online chess I got the Albin trap exactly once, against an 1800. It felt so good.

5 moves : there is also the petrov smothered check when the black knight goes back to f6 after taking the pawn but that only leads to a queen loss for black.

Levy: idk why i said move 7
*a couple minutes later*
Levy: alright let’s go to move 8

As a Ruy Lopez player, I have to say that because of Eric I have learned a lot of variations up to 15 moves in the stafford to not get smashed by it

[mattonesti]

There’s another nasty queen sac line in the stafford that’s an 8 move KO and pops up regularly.
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Nxe5 Nc6 4. Nxc6 dxc6 5. d3 Bc5 6. Bg5 Nxe4 7. Bxd8 Bxf2+ 8. Ke2 Bg4#

1:47 This works very well in otb chess, it is called the felt trick mate. You look at the downside of your king and ask your opponent if their king also has a piece of felt under it. When they take up theit king to look, you reclaim the touch-move-rule.

Fallen for the smothered mate Caro trap before. Damn near deleted my account

Wanna say man I started back up chess a few months ago and was rusty but not incompetent. Was climbing up the elo from 400 to 600 in a coupe of month just by do or die learning. Kept get mud 7s and drop back down. So watched a few people’s videos and I felt there was holes in their logic, nothing is exact in chess from one game to the next I know but then came across yours. Man I’ve got up to mud to late 900s now in the past 4 days and am starting to comfortably beat 1100s. You decipher the information well and explain the reasonings instead of just saying what to do which helps you fill in the blanks better when getting off the beaten track. Thank you

I think one of the most important lessons as a beginner is to learn common traps. Not to make them but to avoid falling for them. Also a beginner learns to react to opponents threats instead of just making own moves because if a beginner falls for a trap. It is a lesson learned.

Can't wait to try these on my friends at the bar or library.

After watching first 2 traps it is interesting to see how these traps are for very different levels. The first trap is for 500 players and the second one is for 1200 players. There is no way that a 1200 falls into the first trap and there is no way a 500 player plays logical enough moves so that he falls for the seocond trap.

I think Levy played the Albin Counter and won in 9 moves in one of his latest Win at Chess vids. It was quite nice. Its visually so nice to see the black on d4 shredding open the middle.

Absolutely my most favorite video of him in a hot minute

Brilliant tips and tricks little bit more advanced, but absolutely brilliant and I really enjoy this with you

[danielcastillo]

You need to do a video on some of the theory behind the "Bong Cloud." Can you also explore the "Stoner Sicilian?" Thanks

[Phoenix-nhkt]

I love these kind of videos. Gives me OG gothamchess video vibes. This is what i subbed for :)

[beckydoesit]

I like that Albin where most of the moves are just the pawn walking across the board getting promoted to a knight. Love it.

Hi Gotham thank you for your informative videos. I had watched your video on Fried liver and Traxler, and applied it in my games and won many times.
