17:29 you're being too kind to say I'm not trying to insult you every time you say a fact. Did people become too sensitive to hear the truth
I got my first FIDE rating this year thanks to the Catalan opening
Levi’s hair is getting back to it’s former glory. Grow on ✊🏻❤️
45:57:59 the technique here is amazing
I just take a shot playing catalan for the first time and winning the game only by ten move
Horay you finally are making opening video’s again pls make more
gotham making instructional video? no way
I was going to ask so Gotham makes a catalan course, and this video just pops up on my fyp. I guess it's a sign to learn it.
All this power of this opening was given to magnus by GM DANIIL DUBOV that little creative one.
How was it a fork
Respect for Jonny. He kept playing till the end
Magnus for clicks (again) but the real revival of this opening belongs to Kramnik.
It would have been interesting to show at least one of his games.
Invented by a cat named Alan, if my sources are correct
i changed 9k to 9.1 k liks
am i allowed to comment
Isnt his favorite is the blakcolund😂
Please don’t show how to counter I didn’t learn 3 lines just to have you ruin my fun
We want more of these videos levy , PLEASE
If you think about it Magnus is also the highest rated person to ever play the bongcloud
If black takes on c4 early, what's your response to black going e5 to completely take over the center? We're talking like move 5/6, before you're completely set up.
Catalan course… take my money! Can I pre pay?
Recap of Ediz Gürel's win against carlsen with 2 rook sacrifices pls???
Been watching Gotham for years, took a few courses, and memorized dozens of lines…. still stuck at 500 because 500s don't follow theory 😢
my rating is 501 cause i only play bots but ive beaten eugene and the people i play suck
Levy, allow me to teach you something about teaching: people learn by attaching old knowledge to new knowledge, right? Think of how you learn. You connect some new opening or trick or philosophy or principle to some chunk out of the vast database of knowledge a player of your level has stored up over the years. One thing that helps GREATLY in that "integration" is what's often called "intuition", that is, if you can intuit why something has been given a name, it become easy to learn, and remember. A memory peg. Take the "Open" vs. "Closed Catalan". Why are they called open or closed? Is it because you are opening the diagonal to the queen's pawn perhaps? These things (in this case basic etymology) help people learn faster. Thank you, Levy, for all the great lessons!
17:11 Levy : " Are u gonna win this like MAGNUS?? NO, probably not" – This cracks me up :DDD
holy hell
No pewrly pearly this video😔
If 1300s are intermediate then I’m a candidate master
Great video, thank you
I literally just started studying this yesterday and watched an old Catalan video you made 3 years ago
It's a humble request, please make a Video on "how to practice chess (openings, middle game, endgame and everything) by my self or alone . Please.
Gotham, I want to thank you for making chess so entertaining. I truly enjoy your recaps and insight on chess of all levels.
Love you Gotham <3
Eugene rematch pls
Can you make a video about that saragossa opening?
Я ничего по английски не понимаю
such a cool opening, just beat 1800elo bot with whom i was struggling for 2 months
The main problem with the Catalan is that you need to actually have a complete opening repertoire. Against Queen's gambit declined it's not that hard, yeah. But many players instead play like 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 d5 Which leads you to that same Catalan. But they can instead go b3 or Bb4+ for queen's indian or bogo-indian, etc. And another issue is that against the king's indian, this setup just is not very strong. The c4 d4 e4 setup is far stronger against king's indian, so you're effectively giving them an easy game with this route if you choose it even against that setup. As for the Grünfeld, you said you can play Catalan against it but you really can't. Grünfeld plays d5 when white plays Nc3, but here white never plays Nc3, and hence black never plays d5.
