When your so early that Gotham hasn't pinned a comment yet.

I do always like when he says "if you've made it this far, thank you." Makes me feel like I'm actually putting time in
-
Can we just appreciate that chef kiss perfect pronunciation of "la siciliana cerrada"
-
Levy: I've played the sicilian until I was 1800-1900 Also Levy:never play the sicilian until you are 2000

"Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line!"

OMG that's why everyone all of a sudden is playing Sicilian defense against me. So I am not crazy and not part of some chess mafia conspiracy
-
I shall return 7 years later to feel that "ppl watching in 2027".
-
Levy makes the most entertaining youtube videos because he knows enough about the game to play well, but doesn't treat Chess like it's a holy game to only be taken 100% seriously. Thanks for the quality content!
-
My favorite gambit is the, "bet you won't take....THIS one"
-
Levy Sir, you’re an absolute hero for this mate. For the record, I literally watch to the end of every video and it’s nice that you appreciate it 👏🏽🙏🏽
-
I’m sure it’s been pointed out a lot already, but it’s called the dragon variation because the kingside pawns are arranged to look like the constellation draco.
-
Levy: "i would like to take the bishop but then I'd lose my queen and that wouldnt make a good video" Eric: "oh no my queen!"
-
damn, the "Dragon Bishop" is the single coolest chess related name I have yet heard (approx. 3:15)
-
ive recently been learning how to play sicilian dragon. im rated bout 1000. but so far my win rate for the dragon is about 90%. its insane. thankyou levi
-
5:49 When Levy said: "la siciliana cerrada" in perfect spanish pronounciation, my ovaries exploded
-
YouTube Levy -“hey I hope you make it through the end of 2020 okay” Twitch Levy- “what a stupid comment you must be new here, come on man no”
-
