If you made a 3 hour slowrun video, I'd watch it in a heartbeat and probably without a break. Something about it just soothes my brain

This comment will probably be lost but fr this series/channel is so appreciated. I’ve been binging it over the past two months or so and have gone from the 500s to now close to 1100. I’ve watched other chess creators but I feel like this has gotta be some of the best educational content out there for beginners. Much appreciated.

Levy, you’re an excellent teacher. I can feel my neurons recovering from early queen attacks. I’m definitely learning, and I’m excited to apply what you’re teaching here

Damn. I know Levy's a true master of the craft because I've watched most of these slowruns and admittedly, from time to time I zone out. I know his general cadence and rhythm of the videos by now. I just caught myself laughing at myself because I thought he was recapping a game review, (based on the speed of his analysis and explanation of future moves) but then sadly came to realize he was playing a live 10 minute game and analyzing in real time 😂 what a boss.

"I think in general a knight is better than a bishop" you heard it here first, folks. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEkSDdudv58&t=200">3:20</a>
