  1. Damn I'm 500 ELO and I've tried this 3 or 4 times now and my opponent did something completely different and then I messed up

  2. I never knew that I needed to know chess theory until now

  3. There are some things strange in chess like I don't understand like the arabian mate and the Dutch stone wall and the French advanced what is this even

  4. Awesome series. Great content. Thanks for sharing your wisdom. You make a fine teacher.

  5. “and i know this blocks in your bishop, but bear with me for a second”
    the lines ive heard 3108 times

  6. Question: If we know we want to play the Stonewall setup for Black — against 1. d4 — does it matter if we play 1 … d5 or 1 … f5 ? … What's the difference ?

  7. Tbh me personally I’m more of a strawberry banana smoothie kinda guy

  8. I lost 6 matches in a row and youtube recommended me this on a bunch of different home pages. I think it's trying to help me

  9. Isn't this like the London? Can you move one or two pieces incorrectly and it will still be the opening?

  10. I am 12 year kid and your subscriber like your games and your teaching I predict that one day you will be a GrandMaster

  11. Its very good untill the opponent decides to do queenside castle.

  12. Strawberry-banana, can't go wrong with a classic

  13. I like mango smoothies.

    Also thank you for the stonewall defense tutorial, it's helpful

  14. Thank you for teaching me the Stonewall defense. Appreciate the work you do. My fav smoothie is Vanilla what about yours ?

  15. Stonewall stuff: 1. Any move that prepares for e5 we put the pawn to defend
    2. C5 – C3
    3. IF number 1. Doesnt happen simply develop knights first then push the pawn.

  16. I have autism and when I was like 4 I was cleaning out adults who were trying. I stopped playing for at least 12 years basically all through school

    I resumed playing casually and was discouraged because I feel like I’m honestly worse than when I was a child. I came to the realization you just can’t get past a certain level by trial and error

    I am a Bobby Fischer guy I appreciate tactics and I was never the biggest fan of game theory.

    However at 1500 I feel it’s probably pivotal now that I implement them. I looked at a lot of different videos and you explain it in the best way for me to be able to retain. Good content.

  17. I dare to do Stonewall against Jimmy cause Jimmy’s reactions to this opening are f- stupid

  18. My personal repertoire(all taught by levi)
    white: english, stonewall, london, fried liver, danish gambit (rarely)
    black: dutch, traxler (when faced with fried liver), french

  19. I like it but it is kind of a disaster if they queenside castle

  20. Okay so this is just a london but your bishop is stuck

  21. I’m gonna use this😎 and my fav smoothie is mango pineapple

  22. I have played it and getting great wins give it a go great openning

  23. i’m a beginner, I love setup openings and you explained it very clear, thank you GothamChess 👏

  24. What if the opponent dos casseling from queens side?

  25. this opening helped me in a lot of elo crisis, thanks gotham chess

  26. You are the best chess teacher in the whole world ♟️♟️♟️

  27. Hey Gotham what would happen if you zig zagged the pawns on the whole board?

  28. Why can't black just stonewall the other side?

  29. It's pretty hilarious seeing this sophisticated levy that teaches you chess openings in an aristocratic way, and then we have our levy on Twitch.

  30. what if black does not castle ? do you still attack the h7 pawn ?

  31. What do you do if they develop their bishop to F5 on their second turn?

  32. For black Dutch Stonewall I learned f5 first from Dr Wolf. then knight then 2 other center pawns. critiques please?

  33. as a beginner, i only really play e4 as white – i found this video while trying to find some d4 openings i would like. this looks like lots of fun!

  34. D4, C5

    Levy – "You definitely need to play C3!!!"

    GM Aman (stoned and listening to trance music) – "You want to play a nice little E3 there to open up the E file for the Boys, if they don't take, then play C3. Don't ruin that sexy lil Stone Wall…"

  35. I tried this opening and it helped me get to my goal which was 1400 ND for that I'm extremely grateful for you levy
