  • Can you please do “how to get a girl with the London system “ next please , I really need it
  • @ambrotos3932
    Just got into chess and I’m a 700 in rapid needed to come back here after playing a 85.7% accuracy game using the London system against a Frenchman who immediately accused me of using an engine. So thanks Levy much appreciated
  • @tmass1
    2:48 if pawn plays c4 13:32 against their g6 start 4:53 if pawn plays c5 3:40 if they take the knight 4:59 take their c5 pawn if you are more advanced and set up a trap a few mins from here 6:00 joe london variation to start with. maybe don't need this 7:37 they play queen b6. protect your b2 pawn 9:45 when they leave lightsquare bishop near yours 11:30 don't trade dark bishop early. if they challenge it you move it back and hope they take you so you can settup that hikaru sequence

    Hey Levy, i'm taking advantage of being early in the hope that you will see this comment. I had never played chess before, but always felt like it's a game that i would enjoy, and i finally found a content creator which makes me enjoy it, that being you. Your videos are extremely entertaining, i've been griding them the past few weeks, thanks for all your work :)
  • @241hnd
    At 5:45 after the pawn push, where's the discovered check?
  • I’m so glad I found this. Definitely a great opening. This helped me win a few games against a people above my rating recently. Thank you for the breakdown!
  • @Farren246
    The problem with practicing is that your opponent never knows you're trying to practice and never complies with your plans to move that way.
  • @Sock0
    Is this Levy's official break-up with r/AnarchyChess?
  • I just want to say, I have watched this video like 4 times in a row to study the theory. I have been KILLING it with the London since. Probably about a 75% rate when i use it. You’re the bomb man!
  • @gryphyne
    Just started playing seriously again and this really helped me in my 1st Tournament (LV Open, only one week prep) in 5 years. Really familiar with the Stonewall attack and this merged nicely with that background. Black, yeah, those games didn't fair so well, and I'll definitely be hitting those vids next. TY for all your doing.

    Me: I should study and finish my assignment in modules and homological algebra. Gotham: TRADE OFFER
  • My rating went up 100 points within a day of watching this. Thank you! You might not be a GM yet Levy but you are a far better teacher then a lot of other GMs.
  • This opening has boosted my rating 150 pts in 2 days. Played queens gambit for years but adding this is my default and having the option to transpose has been fantastic. Solid video! Solid AF!
  • I just smashed the 1600 computer opponent for the first time ever using this for the first time. It's so good!
  • This brings many memories I studied London opening from Gotham openings now this video is verry improved and super I love you sensie for teaching us a lot
  • @Krish_krish
    Hey Levy, please could you continue your 'Easy Chess Endgames' series you started 8 months ago? People were super hyped for more videos but then they stopped. I'm loving this pure educational content again. Thanks!
  • @wendychan6679
    I was looking for an introduction to the London that avoided massive detail and I am glad I watched this video. I will probably watch it several more times to make it all sink in. I would be interested for you to do a video on the O'Kelly variation of the Sicilian
  • @drErakidos
    I love going back to this video after playing a bunch of games and see how well I stick with the concepts and principles.
