How To Play The Queen's Gambit

Welcome new chess fans! Anyone here after watching the Netflix miniseries?

I invented a move called the Queens blunder. You offer up your queen and then resign straight after

Watching chess videos: "Yeah, that's easy and makes sense" Actually playing chess: "Well, didn't see that. There goes my queen"

Beginners' chess principle: you have to keep material when possible Gambits: you can yeet that out of the window

Levy always finds a way to put the london in no matter what topic it is

i always do the queens gambit... i 'gambit' my queen by move 10

Levy is remarkably articulate. 14 minutes of straight talking, very few ums and ahs, clear development of ideas. Some vloggers cannot get two sentences together without a cut, an edit and a reset.

I'm only 3 years behind!

Levy's shirt makes him look like hes gonna ram a line of coke at a rave and then fight off like 13 asian dudes

For me: Queen's gambit accept 1:32 Queen's gambit decline 3:57 Bishop bait trap 4:21 Slav defense 6:00 Defend with knight (Marshall defense) 6:43 Albin countergambit 8:10

I feel like I am learning something, but I don't know what.

"Levy this is a Queen's Gambit video why is the London here?" Well, it's obvious isn't it?

12:35 When I am blitzing out all the moves confidently and suddenly realize that I am a rook down.

Levy: "IM and up always know the time on the clock" Levy: [posts a 14 min 10 min video]

I don't know why it was so hard for me to find videos that don't just explain the first 1-3 basic pawn moves for each opening, but the actual follow ups to each counter as well. This is the first video of yours that I have seen, and it is the the most helpful Chess video I have ever seen. Thank you sir!

We can literally have people become GMs these days by saying “I became GM by binge watching GothamChess”

There is more information packed in ~15 minutes here than most hour long classes I've seen, and more importantly, instead of just running off lines, you explain the actual ideas behind the line. Excellent video.

Im gonna sacrifice my queen every game after looking at that thumbnail

may the queen rest in peace 💀
