I accidentally scheduled this video to launch tomorrow... sorry for the 1 hour delay. Ironically it’s a video about time management 😂
Ok sire
😂😂😂Good job 🤪
oh boi
😂😂
Please make a video on books suggestion according to rating and opening, middle game, endgame and puzzles
My time management strategy: I take my time during the opening and mid-game, and then when the warning goes off I panic and blunder everything.
Solid plan
Gustav
No way!!! I do the same!!
Wow 😲 what a great time management
Btw *Gustavsson*
Hm hm hm
i rush the opening to farm time then take too much time in the middlegame and get flagged xD
Alternate title: Levy loses his mind while watching terrible chess games.
I highly agree but i am offended because i am one of those people lol
@@dimitrikouzmenkov8101everyone plays bad games, those games are horrible
It's my actual first time getting roasted by Mister Rozman on a CZcams video and I enjoyed it.
Have you watched any of the sub battles? That’s entertainment.
@@James-Cook As they say, "To get good at something, you first must suck at something"
if not for twitch, everyone would think that Levy is a man who does not use foul language and who is very soft-spoken
Facts
Really? He is not?
Teacher mode vs Wild mode
It was because people influenced him...
@@icecrack4579 i think i never saw him on twitch saying something that was not some savage sarcasm joke
Levy: “Just take it, don’t think, just take it”
Me: “Takes and blunders”
Yeah better to blunder than run out of time, even if you end up getting mated for it, if you blunder at your level your opponent can easily blunder being the same level in chess.
It might be obvious to Levy -- and to others of his strength -- that taking is OK, but that isn't so obvious to me.
Levy: you should never have 5 seconds on the clock
Eric: you haven’t seen my final form
"I forgot, I berserked! Oh no my time!" *loses endgame*
That was a weird statement, people are winning bullet by checkmate with less than 1 second left all the time.
Was looking for a video to eat my meal with. Perfect timing
Same
Haha exactly the same
Same
He has the best upload times
I was looking for a video to take a shit with.
Me when im slow: haha you fell into my tra- oh sh*t im on 25 seconds left
Me when im too fast: god damn it! I blundered my queen!
Whenever it hits 20 seconds I feel like I'm having a heart attack
I start premoving lol
This is what playing bullet is for
when i hit 2 minutes i panic, tho i don't really got that low. I played more than 300 games, and I think only once I lost cause of time.
@@eee-th8yk You probably play increment.
@@kaos7012 Thanks for the reply! I do play increment for some type of chess, but I will do it more often! (I did a 2 minutes 1 second increment of crazyhouse and it was super crazy :P)
Levy: "Don't play too fast"
Pro bullet players: "Understandable have a great day"
Pro bullet: 15+0
Levy: what is this, you don't spend 15 seconds on a move this is too fast
To be fair, bullet is quite a different game altogether. In reality, the skill ceiling is quite a bit lower. Yes, you have to watch out for checkmates in under 5 moves by more experienced players, but really all you should be doing is punish your opponents poor trades or blunders. Beyond that, if you keep up the pace and play with a decent structure that is open enough, you're very likely to win. Of course, at the pro level they start to premove so many moves and use real tactics, it becomes a bit more like real chess at that point. Just on some wild steroids hahah.
@@PHeMoX Honestly, I think GM bullet is like NM blitz in quality.
@aj l you literally compare GMs with 800 players?
And he is talking about the "noobs" not the pros
@@konstantinosandronikopoulo8300 Yeah it should be obvious pros in bullet wipe the floor with anyone not experienced at chess regardless the speed. Some players _are_ slower than others, but they should be able to adapt to bullet fairly quickly. I do think in pro vs pro games of bullet experience with that game format counts. But it is more about breaking open all position and keep tempo and less about turtling through a game putting careful thought and time into the game. It's why you should focus on punishing blunders and keeping up pace, more so than very long term strategy.
Can we also emphasize that people shouldn’t take any time when they have only one legal move?
There's still the time taken to find that move. And time taken to look for alternatives and see that there aren't any.
Stop watching this clickbait and follow my process instead
1. Play normally
2. Move pieces aimlessly when you’re under a minute
3. Lose
If it's a joke it's not really funny but if it's not then wat rating(Elo) are you
@@crimatics2123 it's a joke
I disagree with the previous reply, this is funny. Mastery of comedy, genius.
@@crimatics2123 I refuse to believe there is someone alive who thought this was genuine chess advice
Hmm I move them aimlessly only if I am down on time and I have like 20 secs
Can you do a video on how to convert a space/development advantage into a winning position? Sometimes I’ll have a big center from the opening, or be more developed, and don’t really know how to take advantage of it during the middle game. Thanks!
Open the position
I reckon just do lots of puzzles and you’ll start seeing all the good moves for the middle game
Yeah open the position if you have a lead in development and chances are you probably have a good move/tactic to look for
If you have a lot of space to use, just use all the space to set up your pieces on strong squares called outposts and start an attack, your opponent's less space might even give you a psychological advantage.
@@kokogo673 if you open up, won't your opponent get some space back?
Levy: You won't lose the game based on h3
me: *nervous laughter*
You’re up like a million pawns. If that’s a number? - IM Levy Rozman
"I forgot pawn captures diagonally" IM Eric Rosen
I forgot nights could move bakc
“You though for 30 seconds and h3 wasn’t the best move”
I’m loving it
My fav part so far lol
me playing normally: "too slow!"
me trying to be quicker: "what the fuck"
"Feels like I'm glitching the matrix" just so good
As it turns out, one million is in fact a number.
lol right under a quote
30 seconds on the Botez gambit declined is hard to watch
my dirty time trick when im trying to flag my opponents but they have an advantage; spam draw on their turn
Has your chess.com account been banned yet?
i've had 15 minute games that finished with me having 17 minutes on the clock lol
I am very happy you mentioned setting arbitrary time restraints on all puzzles to train yourself to let go of the risk being wrong as that is exactly the training method I needed!
What really helped me in chess and life in general is understanding that when you stress out you produce cortisol and your brain goes into jungle mode effectively rendering your prefrontal cortex useless. You need your prefrontal cortex for problem solving so best thing you can do is play happy bullet chess
17:09 I died a little inside when he missed that fork.
I won’t lie, this was very entertaining
Def best video for me personally, all the others are just epic entertainment. Love your stuff man.
“Now for this last example”
This will get stuck in my head I can feel it
Now for this last example-
It really does feel like a glitch in the Matrix.
Now for this last example-
What worked for me was that I started playing 5+0. I even lost on time, but that made me a bit faster on the clock for the longer formats.
same except i played 3+0
Normal People: Chess is a game of thought. Take as much time as you need.
Levy: JUST TAKE IT!!! DON'T THINK FOR 8 SECONDS JFASLDFSA;KL
Because classical chess is played with a 30 min clock. Patience is a virtue in that version, but with only 15 mins or less on the clock in modern chess with bullet or blitz you need to be quicker.
@@aban33 Yeah this was just for some laughs. In truth, I only spend about 3 seconds per move (probably why I suck).
This video right here! Your tips have helped me out so much. I can hear you in my head as I play, "Just GO!" I'm on the other side of time trouble after watching this. Now it's my opponent floundering and freaking out with 20 seconds left while I'm up on the clock. Being up on the clock is saving me from losing positions!! 😁
This seemed like simple advice, but it actually helped a lot! I was thinking too much on Blitz and lost time. Now I'm making faster, easier decisions. :)
I'm guilty of playing too slow. I probably lose 20% of my 5 minute blitz games because I run out of time and usually I'm in a winning position. This video was just what I needed, thanks Levy!
This is why you don't play bullet on mobile.
@16:45 love the mention about playing 15|10 if you are struggling in 10 min format on time. A lot of that and a lot of puzzles over the last month seems to have really helped my recognition and decision making to speed up.
Yesss! Been waiting for this one!!!
Levy: white consolidates the king
ENGINE: M6!
What is M6? Do you mean M8?

Chess is the most underrated competition in history. It has drama, action, beautiful combinations/ mates, horrendous blunders (which are often hilarious). What more could you ask for. I played in a tournament from my couch and was in a pool of sweat after. What an amazing game! Thanks Levy for your tireless effort in helping us all improve.
Exactly, so much drama. It has magic to it
And many pawns intended
I like that your quality keeps going up. Thanks Levy
i've been so addicted to your videos thanks for trying so hard to teach people
New to chess in the last few months (i knew the rules but no more than that) I’m ~900 and well on the way to getting to 1000+.
This is mainly because of your videos, fantastic work, thank you so much ☺️
Yes, a video about time management! I usually find the best moves, but end up not being about to checkmate on time.
I love you Levy and your videos. I literally wait for you to upload and in the meantime I watch your old videos.
I am watching your match now.. Best of luck man, rooting for you.
So glad Levy hit us with that final example at 5:29, it got me lmaooo😂😂
tldv:
- dont be too quick in the opening
- dont be too slow in the opening
- dont be too quick in the endgame
- dont be too slow in the endgame
coming up next:
- dont be too quick in the middlegame
- dont be too slow in the middlegame
If you were looking at chess to be a simple game, you are sorely mistaken.
@@ZeCroiSSanT950 it's very simple actually, the only problem is the quantity of memorization so we rather depend on our IQ and a little on memorization.
Me:. Watches this video.
Me: instantly loses a match on time.
Sorry Levy 😭😂
Great content Levy, thank you for this! Congrats on the W today :) You're my main source since I started playing a couple months ago and your videos are just getting better and better
Learning a lot keep up the awesome work!!
05:27 Levy is lowkey a comedical genius
I loved it
actually laughed out loud

Good timing for this video with Levy showing superior time management in beating Canty in an I'M not a GM match today
Please do more videos in this format. It's very useful to see which moves should take more time and which should be automatic. The pace keeps the video interesting throughout. Anyhow thank you because after watching this video, I suddenly began winning 5 minute blitz games.
When playing to slowly, also keep in mind that you give your opponent the time to think about the position and their next move. Just an extra tip ;)
I feel like I’m being attacked for spending 3 minutes on a blunder
To be fair that’s a good thing to attack me for
Great video as usual Levy thanks!
thanks Levy! exactly the kind auf video that I needed :)
You have not mentioned the advantage of playing quickly: When the opponent is lack of time you can play as quickly as possible because if you spend time to think what is the best move, then your opponent can have time to think of what is the next move by using your thinking time. But if you play quickly, then your opponent have no time to react properly.
"Too weak to slow." -Magnus Carlsen
Great timing with the SCC. You did great tbh 👌
Gotta say... best instructional video you've made so far. You are really killing it with these videos.
Gotham: force yourself to be fast
Me who has mostly played bullet in his first year and suffers it's side effects: that's no challenge
who’s here after levy didn’t show good time management on “i’m not a gm”?
I love the emotional tone of Levy in this video can listen to it for a LONG time.... also do you recomend playing a lot of slow formats to build up skill BEFORE playing blitz
Thanks SO much for the tips in blitz! I really demanded the most time i should make in blitz per move and not to be more than a minute behind. Nice from you fom helping the noobiest 700 rated all the way to 1500. You made me a better player. I first learned chess over the board with friends ( no time limit ofc ) and when i decided to try out online, time was a big problem. I tried bullet cuz it was fun and force myself to make moves faster. Then i tried blitz but i always was behind on time, thanks SO much
Anyone here after levy’s awful time management vs James canty😹
10:57 holy shit I felt like he's putting me straight like an older brother would
Hey, love the content. Thanks for the great work.
Have you done a video on the Petrov's Defense ?
Havin trouble with 3.Bc4
Thanks
Excellent tips sir, having a 'time plan' and sticking to it, definitely trying that.
I personally am going to give the guy in the last 'slow' game a bit of a break however, when I'm not sure I can actually win the won position in the few seconds I have left taking all the other guys bits gives me a draw at least.
I feel personally attacked by this video. How is it possible for me to be both too slow and too quick.
Feels like you could have just tagged John Bartholomew
Another great video.
Would be nice to have a video about interesting chess books; what books did you read and what books do you recommend for all kinds of players? Keep up all the good work!
Good practical advice. The games, with Levy commentating, were actually more exciting than some dry top level encounters.
Top 2 additional tipps for time management:
1. Play on faster time control first. If you want to play blitz, play 1-2 bullet games beforehand. Suddenly blitz feels like you have endless time.
2. Go for openings that make it complicated for your opponent, not for you. i.e. Keep your queen safe, don't overextend your minor pieces.
Levy: * freaks out about other peoples lack of time management *
also Levy: * has questionable time management during live chess match *
😂😂😂😂😂
Hi GothamChess, I want to share this game because I have finally been able to break into the 1500+ rating in Blitz. You are a huge source of knowledge for that. Your videos helped me break into the higher rating. Thank you so much!!sharing my game of fantasy Caro Kann that I played after watching your video multiple times.
Lessons learnt:
1. Difficult to implement immediately, but keep playing until you get it right!
2. I also watched your time management video, and there is a move after which I have @s in a 3+0 blitz, with an extra piece advantage, yet I played horrible moves and won the match only cause of time. I could have easily slowed down and played it right! Your video about time management actually made me realize these nitty-gritties!My final move was a big blunder and the opponent would have check mated me, if not for the clock.
Thank you so much for your content! It has immensely helped me in this journey!
When you said the "ocean of pawns" you just made my day. What an exact description. You're great. Thanks!!!
Absolutely hilarious how mad Levy gets when seeing some of those moves
Thank god, I’m saved
Excellent content, thank you!
Excellent video. I used to be a very slow player and your tip at the end was exactly how I started to speed myself up.
I'd rather need to watch a video for Time Managment in Life, but here we go I guess!
The thumbnail artist is a fricking genius.
Ironic how Levy played in the I'm not a GM tournament today and constantly went down on time every game. Like Levy says, "Masters can break the rules"!!
I mean his tips are for climbing the ladder, not for incredibly competitive events.
i am loving your videos man . watching every single one. thank you for posting themm
Can you play a chess game with coffee chess team. It's gonna be fun and diffrent from your normal routine. It is a kind request from India fan of coffee chess & Gotham chess💞

Very informative, thank you Mr. Rozman.

Last time I was this early people weren't making stupid copied jokes that aren't funny whatsoever and are just annoying
@@saivarshithpaluru7684 and people weren't so rude
Moral of the video: Don't give your chess games to Levy if he says he wants it for a youtube video
I would gladly give him my games even if he critiques them hard. At least he will diagnose them for me.
Very useful advice, definitely stuff for me to take onboard for endgames
Ayyy lmao 420k subs, gratz Harry!
how are 900 rated players already playing a caro-kann game, while here i am, a 1350 rated player, only learned the italian lmao
basically they know the sequence of the moves but they have no idea of what they are doing, i'm 2042 on chesscom an i never deeply studied opening, i just decline gambits when i face one and i play normal setups, openings are irrelevant under 2000 elo, only now things are getting difficult due to my poor opening knowledge
@@lucasmatsuoca I feel like naturally you probably know a bunch of theory now... you might not know common opening ideas and why they work though. I am 1400 on chess.com (I've been playing only a few months but I've beaten 1600+ players in tournaments) and I feel like I know at least more than 10 moves of theory in pretty much every opening.
@@kaos7012 yeah, i know "theory" by "trial and error" of all the games i played, i mean, obviously knowing opening and it ideas can improve a lot the game, cause you'll naturally know what are the usual plans and pawn breaks, but usually players under 2000 elo do some punishable mistake before move 15, maybe not a blunder, just a mistake, idk, also by not knowing theory, i probably play sub-optmal moves and it naturally drives my opponents off theory quicker where we get to "raw chess"
Levy should start vlogging. I guess y'all will agree XD
10:51 NEVER! EVER! Love this passion! Reminds me of the Christian Bale rant... in a good way. Awesome stuff, Levy!
very good advices, Levy
Gothamchess, obnoxious terrible horrible awkward man, I simply think "How ever brilliant enlightened smart talented and noteworthy do u make urself sometimes take reference, especially agadmator-like incredible streamers else the hate is surely increase so aware just of konsequent events."
