Damn Levy speaks Russian in a near flawless Russian accent and speaks Spanish in a near flawless Russian accent

[markefreet]

"Getting checkmated is bad" that is a powerful insight my bro

[spoppyboi]

ever thought about streaming on twitch? i feel like that'd be fun to watch

[infinitygallant]

I really enjoy your content. You are just the right amount of instructive and sarcasm

my man said chicken, broccoli, he out here having salads on bread while were eating pizza gg

His first game you really see how resourceful a titled player is and the composure and experience they have. The amount of times I’d feel pressure in tactical moments and calculating lines correctly, he sees so many resources and ideas. I played a grandmaster last week and it was very much the same, I’m only 1200 so of course I’m amazed by it but, man, it’s remarkable to see just how resourceful they are.

40:12
Levy: Traps the knight using his king, two pawns, and two rooks-> over 12 points of material
Knight: Look how much they need just to mimic a FRACTION of our power.

also, to even flesh your point out about subs/monetization/etc. even further -- I myself have purchased Kasparov's Master class, which is great, but it's maybe a total of 5 hours, and mostly non-specific - whereas all the streamers will put out vast quantities of educational stuff of every single flavor or take on Chess you could possibly come up with. I have no problem with you asking for money when you a actually providing a service.

Hey Levy. I started a few months ago with only playing king´s indian and Pirc defense. You only need this 2 openings and forget about the rest for black wich is great for me as a sub 1600 player. Therefore, I´m very glad to see this series you made. I also watched a lot tutorials about this opening before, but when watching you playing it, I also learn a lot of new things and it is somehow easier to understand/memorize this way. It´s very instructive and helpful, thanks alot!

For a long time my favorite pizza topping was pepperoni and sausage. Pretty basic. I would experiment with other more wacky choices like chicken and bacon on an Alfredo pizza (its a thing dont @me), and yet I would always find myself coming back to the same tried and true pepperoni and sausage. Every order that I would place something to branch out eventually I would just regret not getting pepperoni and sausage. And then things changed. I became the Assistant Manager in Training of a local Dominos réstáuranté and pizzeria and I could try so many new flavors and combinations, things I'd never even imagined. I did the math once on how many possible arrangements of 3 topping pizzas you can have, a number I have since forgotten, but the point is it was a lot, and I tried most. I tried so many different types of pizza in my time there that now I'm pretty sick of pizza. And that's why I don't have a favorite pizza topping

Man Levy would kill me if he was teaching me and knew how little I understand the only opening I play. I've never seen this approach of queen side attacks before.

[chesstea]

26:34 So he has a pretty active position
26:59 His pieces are pretty passive

Levi i just hit 1700 cause of your vids ty. Also i dont think there is nothing wrong with asking for donos just keep doing what u are doing man. Cya respect

[TomiPVideos]

I'm so surprised that no one plays e5 against this setup against Levy. I get it all the time and the game looks so different that what I've seen in this series

[chrisr]

Another great one Levy - Thx bro!
I predict you will be over 200k in the next few months, your content is just so great and the teaching is very easy to follow. Cheers!

I watched this video when it came out years ago, but came back to work on my game, now I am a huge UFC fan. love to hear some positive stuff about Khabib. one of my favorite as well.

[jbpmusic]

Playing Levy's weapon against him must be the ultimate test lol!! I have the D4 course and I love it!

@10:41 ... Italian Sausage, Onion, Jalepenō, Pineapple, Canadian Bacon....Sometimes minus the Pineapple, since the Canadian Bacon supplies a good amount of sweetness...
