That’s not exactly a good thing
"you're probably not even playing 2500s!"
Levy I'm fighting for my life at 600 elo right now
Relatable 😂
I am fighting for 1700 keep grinding!
like seriously,the 1300s I was beating easily last 2 weeks ago are now playing like GMs
@martinsugwu7062 yeah know your middlegame plan
fighting at 2300 :(
ill be able to beat all the 300 elos with this until they all watch this video too
*Fuse⁷*
Just wait 5 hours they'll forget half of it
I think 300 wont follow the exact move order from move 3 at least.. Mostly will just march pawns and start blundering pieces
Bro I was 65% win with BLACK with Caro before this guy came along
@@dakid2323I usually beat my opponents when they play the Caro-kann or the Scandinavian.. Part of the reason Levy is not a GM is because he is busy mastering bad openings just like Eric Rosen mastering the Stafford gambit... He needs to master serious openings
Can’t wait to face this opening non stop for the next two weeks just like the alien gambit
no worries, just refute it by playing a different move after bringing your knight out to attack the opponents queen. people below 800 will cave when you vary things a little, and 1500 will lose time.
@@Syntheticlime as a 1500 that plays only 30 min rapid games, that is not a position where I will lose a significant amount of time that will decrease my chances of winning
@@Syntheticlime poor 800s gonna have to improvise, lucky me, my black theory ends in the starting position
thats why u go d4
It's quite easy to punish TBF you just have to be aggressive against their queen. If they know the right moves it just results in a retreat by black and solid development for white.
For future Audience the old title was "100% win rate chess opening"

It is now “100% win rate chess opening!”
Now it is "100% Win Rate Chess Opening!"

Except the Scandi is what I normally paly against e4. Now I have to learn something else.

Finding the best move is easy, i want to see GM's finding the worst one
I mean, if u know the best move u know the worst one
@@javier-qw7pyyou dont
@@javier-qw7py That's not true at all. Because you don't know the best or the worst move. It's all circumstantial.
The worst move could make your opponent blunder and become the best move.
My last five games will prove, finding the worst move is easy when you're drunk
@@sdrawkcabmodnaryoure wrong

@@RishabhSharma10225 Thanks. Auto dictionary I guess?
Seriously the free samples are SUPER in depth and so much knowledge, really worth it and amazing he offers it for free
Levy never fails to imply that 80% is over 90%
levy:i perfected this opening.
stockfish on the first move: No.
And the first game I tried, they played blackmar diemer gambit and I got a 100% lose rate. Thanks a lot!
losing to that gambit is crazy 💀
blackmar is rlly viable.@@johnathanroth6205
Bro is blaming him for losing against blackmar diemer 💀
I've been playing the Scandinavian a lot more because I saw you play it in Titled Tuesday, and I absolutely love the positions you get.
16:56… “I forked her” 😂 gets me everytime
That seems that she should move to avoid the fork 💀
Levy never fails to be held hostage
LOVE these kind of educational chess video! I'd love to see more of this than games recap.
this is a change of delivery from e.g your old how to win at chess series.
this is much more direct and feels like its being told a bit more on equal terms somehow. great video! can you do one on the g3 english pleaeeaaase
I use the Scandinavian for two reasons: my school mascot is the Norseman, and because it helps me create a Bongcloud with black
After the release of this video it now has -100% win rate
i liked to see him happy and excited after a long time.
When I first learned the Scandinavian defense as a child, I loved it. Thanks for the flashbacks.
My favorite opening as black! I never really knew what I wanted to do as black until I started playing this opening a few months ago. It feels so natural to me with the combination of early aggression followed by basically every best move being what you'd think based on the usual principles. Besides that (at least until now) it seems most people at my level (~900) are not used to this from the white side and end up playing all kinds of goofy stuff that leads to me being much more comfortable in the position than they are. Thanks for exploring this one, Gotham! Happy to see that we like to play it in similar ways :)
changes my chess career forever
Super cool to see an update on this. I've been playing the Scandinavian based on your last video about it for a couple months now, and loving it.
This idea is remarkably similar to what I was experimenting, the whole bishop-queen battery thing
Kidnapped levy again?

We need more opening course like this levy. We love u❤
I always get stuck with the Scandinavian, thank you for this tutorial!!!
Bruuuuuuhhhhhhh, try the Scotch variants. I’ve beaten with over 70% win rate. It’d be 100% if I never blundered mate in 10 or less.
Please elaborate. Like scotch scandi?
@@Blackmystix no, scotch game
scotch is too basic and leads to a draw at any elo range above 1500.

This opening never fails to never fail.
I never fail to fail.
I just sense pitty for creatures like you.
The Scandinavian Defense is my all-time favorite opening, and i will likely buy your course on it when i get paid
*"but i have worked on this opening,perfected this opening. and now im sharing it with you."* thats such a powerful quote
Thanks for all your openings videos and your book its honestly helped me a ton, went from 500ish about three months ago to almost 1,000.
If you learn tactics professionally and learn middlegame playing Caro sicilian alekhine London system and queen's gambit you can easily reach 1300 dont forget to play longer games(I am telling this as a 10 years old with 1667 blitz elo)
@@Azerbaijani_Fighter I pushed a ton of caro and Italian this past week and maxed to 1250 before I hit the wall again. I’ll definitely need to study some openings but at least I’m seeing where I make my biggest mistakes and slowly I’m improving on them. I Appreciate the advice.
@@jcvazquezn thanks
@jcvazquezn bro your elo will crash if you skyrocket your elo and play more you better give a rest learn middlegame ideas I think you gotta start watching Robert ramirez play with 2000+ elo bots and when you are trying to level up your chess give a rest to blitz play rapid
I’ll make it a 0% win rate within 20 minutes, don’t worry
Please do a course on the Portuguese defense I love it sooo much
As a long-time fan of the unexpected long castle, this might just be the opening for me.
I just wanna to sleep, Levii😭😭
I once saw you use this opening in a video of yours a few days ago and ive been using it nonstop. Its so fun to play with this opening
Works every time and every position .
And suddenly everyone plays 2.d4
My suggestion to casual players who run into the Scandi is to play either the small centre variation (Nc3 and d3) or the big centre variation (d4 and an eventual c4). Both of these offer white a small but lasting advantage with less risk than in the main lines.
d4 Nf3 is a better setup because the natural Bg4 loses
d4 c4, queens gambit got me to 1600. also london's boring.@@EnigmaChess
ikr 😂😂
@@EnigmaChess 1. ed d5; 2. ed Qxd5; 3. d4 Nc6; 4. Nf3 Bg4 is one of the main lines. It is not losing. A sample continuation would be 5. Be2 0-0-0; 6. c4. Black can put the queen on d7 here but it usually comes to the kingside. It is one of the well-known lines of the big centre approach I mentioned previously and can also occur from the Nimzowitsch Defence. In this specific variation, white often ends up saccing the d pawn for a huge attack, which practice has shown will succeed more often than it fails.
I am 700 ELO, how do I get to 4000?

I have several Chessly programs and have been very happy with my progress. Looking forward to putting this one on my list.
5. Bd2 Bg4 is simply met with f3, gaining a tempo on the LSB. If black plays the best retreating move, 6...Bd7 and mindlessly still plays e6 to carry out the same plan, after white plays the very natural 7.Bc4, then, 8. Nd5 forces black to either give the queen up for 2 minors, or save the queen with 8...Qa4 and allow the d5 knight to fork the king and rook. Black has to know to retreat the queen to b6 preemptively, burning another tempo, which white can use for development. Nge2 + Be3 gives white an extremely solid setup with better placed and more active pieces and the ability to castle earlier than black.
Seems to me that Bd2 and f3 shuts the whole line down. Am I missing something?
Let me make it 99,99%
How about caro?.. 😢
I just bought your caro! 😭
Its a flash in the pan.
YOU’RE THE CARO GUY!!! 😡
Amazing video on an under rated opening. You may consider screen sharing some of the free content on chessly so the viewers actually appreciate the quality( I own the e4 course and check out most of the free stuff but just something which may benefit the others). The C6 square misses you.
At what rating do you think I should start learning/memorizing openings
Yet I still lose
What happens if instead of moving the knight on the 3rd move, white goes queen to E2?
Within the last month, the Scandiavain has been my go-to for black, I absolutely adore it. Such a solid and fun opening, that in earnest, I only learned out of frustration after being annoyed with not knowing how to play against it myself. I used to to play the King's Indian a lot but I often felt too passive and the amount of variations and complexities that arise from it were too much of a headache for me to handle. If any of y'all are within the intermediate skill level - like myself - I highly recommend learning this opening! It's incredibly flexible, powerful, and it is niche enough that can prove quite tricky for white if they don't know what they are doing. This video was such a treat, thanks Levy!
I played it at 0.25x speed
I closed it
If you win 100% of the time with that variation and 80% overall, perhaps it's time to become a GM?
Been playing the scandi for a bit now since levy started featuring it in his titled tuesday vids. Some very nice wins, and definitely gets me more fun games than the caro I used to play against e4
Please make a long form video on evans gambit
I feel that you should avoid playing the scandinavian when under 1500. I am 1300 and my winrate against it is at 72% the highest against any other black response. I feel the real benefit about this is later on when most players below a certain range will simply loose track and screw something up....
The Gotham Scandinavian is like Gotham. It never fails
Pathetic, how many unfunny comments do you vomit out in the hope of getting some incel likes?
Levy out here ready to catch bodies with that pin of shame
You could set up that 100% win rate position. And then try to convert this into a win when the remaining opponent moves are done by Stockfish.
Levy’s stares never fail to checkmate my soul
Levy never fails to mate me
As a 300-elo player, I’ll prove this terribly wrong
I’m also loving the Scandinavian. It removes white’s ability to get a strong center and while arguably passive, it’s not weak because by not committing anything you don’t create obvious ideas for the opponent. At lower ELO’s the early Queen can be deadly if well managed too. Excited to see this variation!
Love your videos. Thanks for the opening I will try and learn it to improve my game
I will do a like for every push up this comment gets
Who ever is like this comment u are the dumbest person in the world
😂
I did 25
@GothamChess Fantastic game against Fabi. That is seriously impressive!
My opponent pushed the pawn to f3 insted of taking and I was like what the heeelllllllp
Are you going to update the e4 course to deal with the Gotham scandy?
Great video this one! Love the excitement and the high level games review! Opening videos overall are really cool but this one which I play is mega! Already looked at it but I’ll for sure check out the course and put that one on the list for the future, starting my first ever course now…
Thanks for free samples btw, they help a lot and good decision helper
Bravo, keep it up
Best
Thank you for this amazing vid! I actually always thought if someone captures the pawn with the queen, he doesn't know chess. Now that changed!
what to do if he pushes the pawn in the 2nd move
Exactly. Thats what a good player will do
Scandinavian is great. I love to play this Gotham setup, but I think it has a problem. The problem is that pawns aren't collaborating to the opening so much, and they can't move that much; Because usually their path is blocked by the other pieces, and we should remember pawns are the soul of the chess!
I like b4 sac the pawn and everything turns to traps and chaos...wish you covered that b4 gambit... really love all your videos 😊
i generally don't take queen out in the start - but will try doing these tricks to experiment - still not sure the moves are going to be beneficial
I prefer Na3 + Ng3 for maximum rook file opening power
Just a side note, you really should hype up the depth of the chessly samples, they are huge.
so this entire opening wins you...1 pawn
"I'm not a rocket scientist"
I think if you applied yourself as much as you do with chess, you could be one. Great vid.
Nice. I started playing Scandi like 3 weeks ago and then you drop this. All what I needed
i took the free part of the course last week and i havnt been winning EVERY game, but it has been really fun to do this opening.
"IM (I am) not a GM" is such a sick wordplay
I feel like at lower elo people don't march into that position all that much. They're usually afraid to take the pawn for some reason.
Hans looking at the title💀
After watching this video on the Scandinavian I played a modern defense with 93.1% with 2 inacracys thanks this video really helped.😂🎉
How do you manage the queen side pawn and rook push?
The Scandinavian is my favorite opening.
wow, I have been playing exactly like this since a while now.. especially Nf3 and Bg4 line and long castle.. so many people have fallen for dxc6
Love this opening - I don't even know it that well yet and already its winning for me (not every game obviously).
Just got your book yesterday, very well done
Watched your video on the ponziani recently. I'm trying to learn, but they keep playing Nf6 or some other weird move. Maybe a video on SETS of openings to learn? I don't know if that makes sense.
For example, I'm aware that you can go Nf3, then play either e4 or c4 based off their response. However, I don't know if these two moves have the same style.
What is the proper response if white second moves is E5? Pushing pawn past your gambit. Then starts a pawn chain on the next move. It totally breaks through your front line and now they’re pushed in through your front door. Can you please do a video on that response.
That’s my question. Most good players do this. I always used this opening before I saw this and would get smoked when they do that
Can't understand. Why Fabian didn't opt for your open h file to attack? I think Portuguese Gambit is better than Gotham Scandi, specially the way Magnus played it as it offers lots of pins with queen side castle. As obvious from your game with Fabian, it is just shooting each other from the first and second rank while other ranks are relatively ideal. Fabian just tested your patience along his line of shooting and finally he got success.
Levi: you can add the scandenevian to your toolbox
Me who only plays the scandenevian: I see this as an actual win.
Now I can prob get great on opening but I still need to work on my endgames my middle games r fine
Levy uh challenging me? let me prove uh wrong😂
