@@yeaman3214 bro is everywhere
Arriving 2 minutes late like Magnus, beating the opponent promoting to a knight and then getting your peak ELO in the same game is absolutely astounding, that's a well deserved peak. And then, I'm here, trying to not blunder my queen on every move and not shit my pants. Great content.
I'd rather blunder the queen though... Although... Oh well.
Same...
To be fair that's also the game where he blundered his queen in a trade.
The fact that you promoted to a knight with 8 seconds left in the game is a boss move. When I have 8 seconds left in the game, I can't even think about where I'm moving my king let alone thinking of how to disrespectfully checkmate my opponent with a knight because they refused to resign.

@@giovannishepard653 good reply but you could count people who play chess
Yes world class; Levy has spoken very frankly about the things that make over the board chess tournaments so challenging. The implication of course is obvious: as a *commentator* without any pressures or mental gremlins messing things up, his analytical skills are of a person with a relatively much higher ELO rating. There is more to chess than playing it, and when it comes to "presenting" chess to a worldwide audience, there is nobody better.
@@sanjaylife most people in the world have played chess because it has existed for thousands of years so levy is definitely world class
The 1 minute vs 3 game was impressive and seeing levy calculate like that really tells you how good he actually is

30 seconds in and Levy is already spitting bars
@YeaMan your music is dogshit
Congrats Levy!!!
I know your chess journey has been anxiety inducing for you but just know that you’re a boss and a lot of us appreciate everything you do irrelevant of titles or Elo.
Dude congrats on your success. I'm a new fan and I wish you the very best going forward. You're an excellent player and you should be proud of your expertise on chess regardless of your Elo. That's to say nothing of your great personality and humor. Thank you for all you do, as I can already feel myself improving drastically in the game because of you.
BRO THE SPLIT SECOND IN THE BEGINNING 💀

Why doesnt anyone realize about the face bro lmao
Sigma Patrick bateman
the second of gotham staring at the camera before every video.. i love it
Lightskin stare there
What if it was two seconds? Five? Twelve?
Out of nowhere I found your channel and I love it! I’m so bad at chess but I still manage to try and break down every situation in your videos but not my own situations when I play
sometimes i forget how good levy is tbh. this was amazing!!
Honestly, what you're describing - that you got better after "brain fog", makes sense to me. I think that when you're training your mind in some discipline, whether it be chess, a musical instrument, etc., sometimes it's beneficial to take a pretty long break from practice in order to let your brain delete bad habits. It seems kinda paradoxical, but I believe it's true.
Its very true. My best takes when recording music are always the first one. After a few days i lose this original first touch
I'm best at chess in the first few hours after I wake up. I'm comparatively trash if I've been awake for a while
Actually, in AI / Machine learning, there's this notion of pruning parameters from a neural network, that prevents "overfitting" and therefore helps with generalising results to more situations. (I guess that *overfitting* here is similar to "bad habits", and ofc if you get rid of bad habits, you get better.)
I've been doing this my whole life when trying to get better at things. I grind for a few months and then take a week or two break from even thinking about it. I always come back a little better. I've mostly done it in FPS and RTS games, but it works for most stuff in my experience (cooking and guitar are others from my experience.)
For me, whether it's chess or counter-strike or music, it's usually that bad habits start to form and snowball over time combined with the yips of knowing that I'm underperforming. Taking a break and letting those bad habits be forgotten is usually worth the time it takes to re-practice the basics. This is incidentally why it's so important to have the fundamentals down in anything you do.
Delicious content for me to get through my work shift, thank you
damn that's good to hear. f these bots tho

Nice one man. You are raising your own elo and everyone else's. I have been watching your videos the last couple of weeks and really improved my game. I have started noticing other players play wasted moves and am now beginning to capitalise on that. Before I only knew how to move the pieces and used by own logic to play. Once you start to understand the theory of the game, it makes a big difference. I'm only an 1100 now but I feel I have the tools to raise, just need to get used to using them. One piece of advice I'd give to others on a similar level or lower than me, is just play around with the knowledge you gain from studying the game. I saw my elo drop when I started to implement my learning, but once I practiced with it, I have started to see it climb again.
Well deserved Levy! After retiring from competitive chess you've stayed very competitive with yourself!
I just recently got into chess and you were probably the biggest reason. You really make it so fun and approachable. I'm glad to see you reaching new heights in both chess and CZcams. Thanks for sharing your passion! Hoping for a great year for you!
Promoting to a Horse is definitely a gigachad move!
Also THE ROOOOK!!
Loved the vid and Congrats Levy!
(Just saw the last part LMAOO!)
That last game against Meri was absolutely beautiful. Love that. I love when I can win a game from seemingly being doomed like that.
I feel like such a one night stand once levy ends it with the “now get out of here” 😂💔
It´s so cool to see how far Levy has come.
13:59 I was so happy I spotted the knight fork. That happiness was quickly smashed when Levy pointed out that the bishop guards e7.

3:30 you not screaming it out scratched a different itch in my brain
I recently came across GothamChess and I am really loving this… I can’t stop listening and watching… the opening with the ladies and gentlemen is so catchy and just generally hooks me… I’m just interested in what he says….
The random tangents he goes on make it real and honestly I love them a lot… they’re so from the heart… and help my adhd brain focus on the chess
And obviously the chess… this really motivated me to pick up chess again (I suck but that’s why I’m watching: to l e a r n)
I really appreciate the content to its fullest! keep it up Levy! (:
yeah he is so charismatic and enthusiastic
you want GOOD gotham content watch Guess the elo or how to lose at chess
best content in youtube
ye keep it up leevi
This is like one of those Patrick Bateman copypasta texts.
“There are very few things that feel better than winning a lot of chess games in a row and crossing your peak” Perfectly quoted 👌
i love that gotham was rizzing the camera at the start
Wow, so proud of you Levy! The first game is unreal.
Congrats for the peak! Shame you couldn't hold it longer, but it's still a great achievement.
Great games. I don't know how others feel about it, but if you had stretched the video time out to about twice the length, adding a little more opening and endgame theory, I'd've still watched it all the way through and probably enjoyed it even more.
Its very nice to see the channel grow through more social media expansions, good going Levy!
I discovered you through shorts so definitely keep on going with those shorts
I love how he mentioned the "and he sacrifices THE ROOOOOOK!" meme. It made me happy.

I hadnt noticed the sudden increase in subscribers (been busy, sawry), but congrats man. Absolutely love your recaps of high level games, they are a big reason of my re-interest in chess. You deserve the support, keep up the good work!!! In blitz too :)
A few days ago, GothamChess predicted that he would get 10M subs by the end of 2023. He used a linear model, taking two points, finding the first degree polynomial that fit them, then plugging in when the end of 2023 is (377 days later) (also, he should have said 9.1M). I don't think a linear model is appropriate for predicting subscriber count as a function of time because growth slows with time. I decided to fit a logarithmic function to include the two points given and came up with a prediction of around 3.5M subs (really around 3.54M) subs at the end of 2023. The model isn't perfect, as it doesn't take "chess booms", short periods of exponential growth, into account, but with the information given, that's the best guess available.
s(t)=ln(2.2*10^6)/ln(41.7183)*ln(29.7183+t) is the function I came up with. s(t) is a subs on day t. s(377) is approximately 3.54M.
Remember how I said this model is not perfect. It predicts that GothamChess will reach 10M subs in approximately 63000 years. A bit pessimistic, but given the information it's the best I can do. The linear model is currently out performing the logarithmic one, but I think the logarithmic one will be more accurate in the long run. Fun project either way.
Note: 41.7183 and 29.7183 are approximations because I was not skilled enough nor did I have the patience, to solve b^(11/10)-b=12 for b by hand. If anyone can solve that analytically, I would love to know how.
Edit: I got curious and wanted to check how my function was doing , and I found that I somehow wrote it incorrectly. The numbers I get when I copy an paste what's written above into demos are orders of magnitude too small. I shouldn't be too surprised at this, especially considering I've likely sustained several untreated concussions due to doing math, but it goes without saying that I am a dumbass. Hey past me, where did you put your notes? Oh that's right, you can't respond because your memory has been reduced to a mediocre, incorrect, unnecessary post on the internet, that will effectively do nothing but remind your future self of his inadequacy. You have damned me to self loathing, and I deserve it because you once existed.
they did the math
I like your funny words magic man.
pretty sure that the solution is irrational anyway
@@U20E0 Yeah probably. No idea how to prove it, but at least it's intuitively understood with a decimal approximation.
Since all the coefficients are integers we can apply the rational root theorem and after a lot of work find that there is no rational solution.
It blows my mind how entertaining a chess video can be
i remember how id be watchign gotham chess everyday (still do) and watch his videos within 20 mins of upload, and everytime i watched
the sub count went up by 0.02 or 0.01 million everyday

"You don't resign, I'm gonna promote to a knight" lol
those little spots on your wall (nails that once held up a picture maybe?) always make me think i got something on my monitor lol
I also underpromote everything to be toxic, if my opponent lets me.
The funny thing about the last game is that in the opening, when you had pressure on the Black Bishop, stockfish favored black, but when black fought back, it favored white.
