Levy is the type of person to make us believe that we are good enough to gain chess elo

Bro, the part in the 1700 rated match where you asked if the rook should protect latterly or horizontal blew my mind, thanks for pointing that out. Great video btw.

Can we appreciate how much levy cares about our elo? Thanks to him i went from 900 elo to 500.

As a respectful 400 elo person, I can say that I reached 200 elo with the help of this video.

thank you levi for making this guide. i will definitely remember to credit this specific video when i take ding liren's world champion title in 2025 for teaching me everything i need to know

Thanks to this video, I started gaining elo points for all my opponents.

Oh boy, i missed educational gotham a lot. Levy is a great teacher.

Went from 1750 to 1200 after this video, thx Levi

Guys I'm here just to tell you not to feel too bad: I'm 1700 and I still make a lot of this mistakes, keep it up you'll make it

gotta love Levis dedication to us 300 elo players

Love the instructional videos. The ones where you play subscribers at different elos and talk through your tactics are my favourite. Thanks

That third match was interesting. I find at 1551 I can sometimes struggle with a proper end game. I know a good amount of basic opening for both sides. I can recognize positions and usually know what my opponent will want in given situations. However, in the end game I sometimes struggle to properly move my king. I know the basic principle of trying to move king towards the center etc. Oh well, will keep learning!

as someone trying to improve this is one of your best videos yet, would love to see this as a series - the way you analyze the games and explain how to improve in a way we can understand makes this a great "win at chess" vibe

Can we appreciate how Levy never fails to make me giggle and swing my legs in the air? 😊

Very instructional video. Give us more of these Levy!

This is one of the best videos you've ever uploaded... and you've got QUITE A BUNCH of excellent videos to choose from. Incredible content 👏

thank you so much Levy! I was hoping for another video like this for months since it really helped me. I am stuck at around 1700 since a few months and I am looking forward to improve. I know that most of your audience is around 1000 elo but I would be really happy if you would continue this series, also with higher elo people like 1800+ to 2200 some day! thanks for the content :)

0:36 "I make a lot if entertaining chess content" So modest, Levy, so humble 😅

thanks for including stuff for more intermediate players. found this very insightful appreciate it

i went from -300 elo to 100 elo, truly a lifesaver

Love this content! I get that the goofy guess the Elo stuff gets more views, but I love classic Levy teaching. Thanks for throwing us dorks a bone here and there!

End games are so rough. i remember a few weeks back I had lost several rapid games, I took a shower to cool off, then said by hell or high water, I'm winning this next game. Played a 70 something move long game against my opponent, 86% accuracy from both of us, and I looked at the eval afterwards and had no clue where I had made a mistake. Apparently at during a rook and pawn majority vs rook and pawn minority, when I was checked by the rook, I had the choice of going towards my passer on the right side of the board, or the pawn majority on the left side of the board to confront the enemy king, and I chose to stick with my passed pawn, and that was the wrong move because I allowed the enemy king active counter play, and I drew the game about 20 or 30 moves later. Felt absolutely crushed after that.

Very informative video! It's unreal how much you see in a position. You're a good teacher.

you know, I usually skip ads/sponsors but since I feel like you're a genuine person Levy, I watch every sponsor and don't skip them anymore :) not sure if that helps you but its the best I can do.

I finally broke 1000 blitz, and I'm pushing it on bullet. I'm so happy. I see Gotham producing more elo. I click.

levy, ive been stuck from 800-900 elo for so long, but thanks to you i finally got out of that range. proud to be in the 700 club!!

Going to a tournament at the end of the month so perfect timing! Thanks Gotham!

Will there be a part two? Fornthos eof us who want to improve our chess this would be a great series XD

"Было 100 эло,стало 3000,спасибо Леви"-Магнус Карлсон

My favorite thing you've done in a while. The fun stuff is great, but you are a good teacher and I'm happy to get a little bit of that mixed in.

Very instructive stuff levy thanks a lot i love this! 😄😁, coloured square weakness and not trading pieces and a lot more

I gain elo in bullet by setting a "one loss" rule - I play until I lose once. It helps me avoid my biggest problem of trying to make up for a loss and playing in a bad head space.

I am in for the instructive vids. More of long game explanation for sub games. It’s genuinely so helpful

Very instructional video. Give us more of these Levy! Thanks!

I really like how directly instructive this was! I'd really appreciate more of these.

Please make more videos like this. Loved the analysis.

These instructional videos are really nice, thank you Levy

Thanks for the great instructional video! I love this type of videos, please make more of this format!!

Beautiful video Gotham. Give us more of these. I'm 11-1200 range and see every one of these mistakes in my own games at times. Send more please!!

“You can’t control how others play. You can only control yourself”. The similarities between life and chess are sublime

1 Secret Hack for Elo is to play slowest time control in each category. 2+1 bullet instead of 1+0, 5+0 / 5+3 blitz instead of 3+0, 15+10 rapid instead of 10+0.

Well I'm 1300 in rapid and 1900 in puzzles and this is helpfull

If I get opponents like either player in that first game my ELO would rise very quickly

No joke levy ur the GOAT i was 300 elo now im almost 1100 all in 7 month thanks to u ur funny and makes learning chess fun ty truly

I loved the part when Levy told us the 1 secret he promised in the title

One of my recent D&D characters was a wizard named Henry

Big up the advice content!

I love these instructional videos! Please do more of these, I wanna get better at chess! Thanks!!! ❤❤❤

This video might not be as popular as your other ones, but as a learning chess player I appreciate so much your classes on how to get better at this game. Please don't let the low view count sway you from making videos like this cause they are super helpful for anyone that seeks to improve

I would like to thank gotham. I went from 400 to 1000 elo with this kind of videos.

I gained so much ELO by making a new account after watching this video, thanks Levi

would like see more instructional videos like these

In the second game white had a Qa1 sacc at the end. If the King takes it is mate and if he goes to f3 you can either take the rook directly or fork the Queen and the King with Rd2.

I started at 300 now 1 year Later after much levy and much dedication, I'm proud to say im now 500 (high elo)

Great video. Should be a series.

I just won Magnus with white pieces. Looking forward to next lesson so I can win with black as well. Thanks Levi!

Always a banger when it's educational content from Levy

such a humble man giving us free tips to gain elo

"Always protect your king!" I've had some games where I was down 5+ in material that turned around because opponent moved the king's only protection.

Thank you Levy you give really clear and useful tips and instructions, this was a very fun, educational and insightful video Again thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾

This was a great and instructional video. Could you please start a series where you would analyze subscriber's mistakes, that would be awesome!

This is very helpful stuff, we need more videos like this

Love instructional videos. Need more help!!!

Yes it was helpful please keep making videos like these I personally learnt a lot , thank you

The thing that im probably struggling the most is probably trying to get a good start or just finding the best moves in the opening because if you start bad the you end uo worse

Yes this was helpful! Please do more like this.

Levy’s consistency is insane lessgoooo another videooo

It's always great when levy bangs with an instructive one.

I’ll join in the choir, more content like this please!

I needed this video. I'm 1000 elo, one week ago I was 1100. I always lost for time management and panicking

Always love your content! I do enjoy entertaining videos, but educational videos like this are really helpful for my chess career! Keep up good work!

19:24 the change in the eval bar there was crazy

Hey levi ik u wont probably see this but in the second game where the bishop is stopping short castle isnt also possible for a long castle bringing the rooks into the game i understanf that side is very open for attacks but from what i can see its defendable

yeah the passive rook mistake was a great learning

more of this please

It was helpful for sure, I'm 1300-1400 elo player and I've managed to win 1900 elo computer without any help which is probably a sign that I can play good enough to reach higher elo, but I keep doing mistakes that you've mentioned and worst part is that from analyzing my own games I already know those mistakes and yet it's tough to fix them😕

Very cool video. I like the focus on instructiveness a lot

Love all these pure instructional videos ❤❤ After all the chess drama and shenanigans, I want to get better and that's why I am here

Brilliant. Loved every second of it. Please do more of those!🎉

We need more of these videos. This was just wonderful ❤

Levy, you helped me to get to 600 elo, 800 is my next mission. Thank you for these great videos!

Really appreciate the instructional content. I've missed it.

Haven't watched the vid yet, but Levy genuinely helped me climb 500 elo and get 1.4k in puzzles.

just got to 800 and actually proud of myself it aint much but im getting there

When I see "Gain Chess Elo Now", There's not a thing that I would change 'Cause you're amazing Just the way you are And when you smile

This reminds me of old Levy videos. I missed stuff like this.

Gotham never fails to roast his viewers every video.

Great video. I've been stuck at 1500 elo forever, this series is extremely helpful!

How do you share your game with him?

Love this kind of content!

More videos like this pls

Thanks man i thought it was cap but i went from 650 to 300 you changed my life 🙏

Very helpful and fun to watch, thank you Levy!

i just hope to get better cuz this video gave me motivation to break through 800s thanks levy 😊

Thank you for a helpful video! I enjoy these a lot.

Ah, another vid of her Gotham doesn’t clickbait us with his titles

In your perfessional openionion, who would win a ches fight between Boby Finster or Paul Murphey?

11:56 That's a Benoni Defense, I play that too(at 1.5)

Levolt Rockman thank you for this video you are one of the chess ever
