no hes an amazing youtuber he just is more focused on begninners bc 95% of his audience is U1700 so his tips apply mainly to low elo

Levy has actually helped me a lot. i have been watching his stream since 2018 back when i was just starting out and like 800. now i am 2000 so i credit him and Hikaru and all the time i spent watching and learning from them for some of it,. I dont think i would still be playing chess if it was not for Levy. he gifted me a Diamond membership that really got me hooked on chess.

I quit playing e5 when I was under 1000 cause I was too scared of all the attacking stuff that white has. Now I'd still rather play c6 instead of e5

Caro-Kann experts would question that.

There is no attack when playing the Petrov, the Fischer Defense for the King's Gambit, and the Berlin Defense against the Bishop's opening.

i'm not saying that's the expert's choice, i'm just saying that's what gotham said and it's what i prefer too

so I was watching gothamchess yesterday, and he was talking about what 4 openings you should not play. One of them was the Najdorf sicilian which goes like this
I'm not going to go into detail why he said not to play the Najdorf, but he did say that if you're going to play the sicilian, play either the Dragon of the Kan sicilian. I was curious about the Kan so I looked into it a bit
so after one day of learning it, I decided, 'you know what i'm just gonna go for it and play it in a game'. and sure enough I got it on my first game. well sort of lol
and after I declined his rematch, he sends me a chat message saying lol of course you don't accept the rematch. not really trash talking in my books lol
but yeah that's about it and btw i'm just learning this for fun my main opening against e4 is c6
My favourite is the Dragondorf.
You get the fun elements of the Najdorf and Dragon, flexibility and counter play without the stress of the Yugoslav Attack.

This sentence alone is enough to tell us that whatever chess-related comment you make will be completely worthless.
Good job bud.

Yeah caro is my main against e4 it's easier to play but I just wanted to try out the sicilian for fun
