In case it wasn't too clear in level 3, at first Black has the initiative, using the pawns to take space, arranging the pieces to attack, then advancing. Then White is able to defend, and creates some of their own initiative. Attacking the vulnerable pieces, advancing the pawn, making the threat of promotion, using the rook to check the king and make more space for the pawn to advance, so White was able to transform the initiative and win the game.

Irina is right about harmony trumping everything. Sometimes your pieces just start working together on both sides of the board, and you don't even have to look for the moves they just come to you intuitively. The players at the very top level of the game understand this better than most.
Chess really is a beautiful game.

21: 13 So you actually play the Dutch. At this point in this game, this position has been reached at least 15, 000 times on Lichess alone.
22: 13 yeah this is nice and boring at this point, still nearly 200 games in this position.
22: 58 and as of move 14, we have a completely new game

I was lucky enough to have started playing in Middle school when one of the kids would be In the cafeteria in the mornings had a Chess set he would bring and actually taught me how to move the pieces. I'm proud to say Chess has been my favorite game ever since

Now I do like Levy and it is obvious why he s chosen for WIRED s videos. However, it is funny how the top GM s aren t the ones who are chosen for these videos. Most likely a rare phenomenon in any field. Speaks to Levy s content creation abilities.

You can really see Levy's experience with chess education in the first clip - he makes it so approachable, and he's validating all of her thought processes, while scaffolding to ease her into new realizations. Lovely to see.

I liked seeing the games but another version of this could have just talked about the game and how they approach it. I wonder if the games were lost on folks who haven't started to play yet?
Please feature Gotham more

It's so sad to hear that a tv show inspired people to play chess when there's a real version of Beth called Magnus Carlsen who is 100 times more interesting and has inspired many with his amazing games.

Like Irina adviced, I guess we would all love to see Levi grind for GM title even if he uploads half the amount of videos, for I guess he would become the most wholesome, funny and informative GM.

I love how Levy is down a full minute at one point vs the Grandmaster while he was on par with time against Tani. That more than anything shows you the true difference between levels lol

I think you missed a very good oportunity to add a digital board on the edtition, so everyone can understand what moves are being mentioned. It is also easier to see the board that way.

The fact the novice uses a lot of terminology means they should have gone for someone else. Someone who literally only knows what pieces do and probably doesn't know en passant.

Amazing episode!
I love this new idea about where AI chess can go. Imagine if I can say, I'm a 1000 and I want to practice my London against an aggressive 1400 player.

Great video, nice to see different types of people's perspective on the game on different levels. Levy was a great host and asked really interesting questions.

This first interaction was super wholesome, I love seeing Levy in a teaching role like this. The girl is a great listener and wasn't shy about her ideas!

There is no better way to start a season than having a chess related video with GothamChess, one of the best types of content there can be.

Crazily, after all these years, the opening segment illuminated the difference between strategies and tactics in the best way possible.
