  I played the Sicilian once as a non titled player and Levy Rozman came to my house and took my kneecaps out with a pipe

  I was promised 10 minutes, and I&apos;m really missing the 34 seconds that could have made me an expert in this opening.

  My chess teacher, Jack Sprague, taught me this opening in the 1970&apos;s. Every time I think of my dear friend and mentor, I play this opening. Thank you, Levy!

  At 41 (man, I feel old), I just recently got back into chess because of the Pogchamps competition. I started following Levy, Andrea, Hikaru, Anna, Andrea, and several others. I can&apos;t believe the feeling of joy I&apos;m once again experiencing with a game I haven&apos;t really played for over 27 years. This is so much fun. Wow. This video was quick and dirty. I loved the pace, allowing me to pause and replay any part that I need to go back and review. Meanwhile, there are conceptual descriptions for the goals of each variation, which is different from many videos that simply go through the motions without too much elaboration. I always want the &quot;so what?&quot; explanation. This video fulfills that need for me. Thank you, Mr. Rozman. Cheers.
