syb who is the levy gothamchess you mention so fondly? can they teach me how to Play Better? i am in the trenches.

omg so. GothamChess, aka Levy Rozman, is a Youtube channel, I think honestly best described as a chess commentator for the highest ranks of chess first, "the internet's chess teacher" second, and a Fide International Master third. He makes chess clickbait first and foremost (just so you know what you're getting into), but he does have an earnest passion for getting more people into chess, and I really like that he commentates chess like it's pro wrestling (in a good way) (actually he commentates like it's MMA but shh close enough).

Can Levy Gothamchess teach you to play better? that I am not an expert to answer on since I am not very good. The chess enjoyers in my life (my husband, and @krippe90 among others) all like Danya (Daniel Naroditsky) the best for chess instructional. I have heard he is very nice and would probably be the best choice if you don't mind receiving info via video.

I do get some tips out of Levy's videos but I mostly like his commentary on the high high ranked chess & gossip, plus it's a fun togetherness activity for me and my husband.

I have a copy of Levy's book, How to Win at Chess, which is charming, but it was def something I bought half to suggest a meaningful birthday gift for my husband to get me (bless his heart he is so bad at picking gifts to give and always begs me for clear instruction), and half because I thought it would be cute to support my favourite chess splorts entertainer. Gothamchess also has an interactive chess teaching platform, chessly, but I don't know much about it! Maybe it's good!

The video series that got me into GothamChess was the 2024 world chess championship, though I find his How to Lose at Chess series really fun (viewers send him games that are so bad it's funny and he commentates them in a way that is both entertaining and oddly heartening).

So long story short, from what I've heard, Danya is the best bet for instructional, but you might get something out of some of Levy's videos as a pro wrestling enjoyer. Also, highly recommend tuning in to GothamChess for the Candidates tournament this year, I'm sure that will be peak.

The only thing more fun than watching people play chess well is watching bad games. Terrible games. Games that cause you pain.

Yes I am referring to GothamChess's chess bot world championship.

Lol no shade to Levy but saying Chess is more like the NBA instead of Poker/Magic The Gathering is hilarious
