      Would this not mean, your future opponents easily access your preparation and therefore be able to deny any theory prepared by you, resulting in a catastrophically higher chance of you being unable to win against them?

It seems that Arturs Neiksans has a different playstyle to you, and the discussion that that produces as you learn from him is super interesting. It sounds like he's going to be very helpful to you, and I look forward to seeing your progress over the coming weeks and months! Cheering for you!

    World class teaching by grandmaster coach. This Grandmaster can pointed levy's exact weakness as well our weakness because we are not IMs or GMs. I can tell you that this Becoming GM episode is better than guess the ELO episode. So much learning. I wish I could hear every discussion that they made about chess which is 2 hour's+ . 😊😊😊

    Neiksans is pointing out these issues and it's nice to see how these reflect even on my own style of play. I think many players are looking for the final blow and rarely do we assess the pieces on the board. What do we want to change or keep the same and what moves do our opponents have that can complicate the position. I appreciate the free lesson :)

    I think my favorite part of these vids is just seeing how deep into your head Coach Neiksans is. That moment at 31:50 where he just throws out Knight H6 with that "%@#^ it, we ball!" mentality is very much in character for you and is absolutely hilarious from the perspective of a viewer. I think the two of you vibe extremely well and understand eachother as chess players on a very deep level.

    Levy: Has incomprehensible conversation with GM trainer.
    Me: The horsie can move backwards, right?

    I remember 3 years ago NM Canty, and Gotham were playing. Now Canty is already GM. I wanna see Levy do it too.

    The change of posture and facial expressions from Levy from the first session to now is great to see.
