Usually professional sports players take note on how to defeat opponents. Helps to remember what you need or should do situationally. I guaranty he does this when he sit downs with coaches.

@jimdaily737 3 года назад

Ok this was your best lesson yet, not because you got somebody famous, but because he was a great student. He asked questions that I've always had about high level concepts that I've never been able to get answered because I just don't have a coach. His questions about open and closed positions and about rushing through explanations about trading bishops was super helpful. I feel like i, a shitty chess player, finally got some answers to questions I've always had!

@danieltaylor9459 3 года назад

Gordon Hayward is a smart dude. Great ball player as well.

@paulcook7426 3 года назад

I almost get the feeling he's a great student because he's famous not despite. To get where he has in basketball he has to be a smart kid, want to learn and improve. And they're the same qualities he showed throughout this entire lesson. This is a superb video.

I like how Gordon listens and interacts with Levy . . The way he asks questions for beginners and they way he realizes . . It won't take long for someone like Gordon Hayward to become decent good in chess if he keeps his enthusiasm . . . Also well done for Levy he literally spoon feeds gordon and the way he breaks down the ideas is something what we call proper way of teaching. . Professionally well-done . . Both display good ettiquet . . . Looking forward for more well-known people, from different fields, to embrace chess. . .

@tillmargraf5964 3 года назад

Personally, this was maybe the most beneficial video for my chess improvement. As a ~1000 players I have exactly the same thoughts in a game. So, if you could do more of those videos, I would highly appreciate it. Not only with celebrities of course. In general, having kind of a check list that I can follow in game like: 1. What are my opponents weaknesses 2. What is my strategy 3. Who has which bishop on the board 4. Who defends the opponents king 5. How do I gain space? Would be awesome! I feel like many players are being stuck ~1000 because it is much more difficult do develop from there

Right here you can see one of the reasons why are people like Gordon top athletes. He understands HOW to get maximum from coaching and how to extract all the value from people that are sharing wisdom with him. This whole mindset of being 100% focused, taking notes and asking perfect questions. Its clear hes used to work with coaches in very efficient manner :) Watching this great coach sharing his wisdom in combination with this great "reciever" that asks all the right questions gives inherently more value to us mere viewers aswell, as we get more information from it. For me this was the most valuable video on you channel so far. Big props to both you as a great mentor and Gordon as great mentee. Thanks :)
