    This man truly has a legacy , he inspired so many people to play chess , he has taught so many people chess and devoted a lot of time for us to laugh and give us a distraction from the horrible stuff that happened this year. I think GothamChess really represents the saying that you should do what you love and i truly respect him for that. So thank you Gotham for making my year a whole lot better for me and other people.

    I can't believe how much actually happened this year in chess! For my own Chess Rewind:
    Rage Quit 213 times
    2 Chess boards ruined
    7 Chess pieces bit in half
    3 Friends terrified never to play the game again
    4 Tournaments entered
    +15 rating points

    Thanks for everything Levy. I discovered your channel randomly a few months ago on a how to loss at chess video and it was so funny despite not even knowing the rules, it made me try out the game. Ever since then, I've been completely obsessed with chess, it became a passion, a form of escapism, and I spent hundred of hours playing, learning, improving and watching your videos multiple times, seeing you upload makes me so excited. This newfound interest brings me a lot of joy and I can't thank you enough for all your hardworking. Happy New Year to you and all the community, and here's hoping 2022 will be an amazing year bringing you all peace, success and happiness!

    My favorite chess moment of 2021 for me was finding your channel. Started at 500, got to 1150 in a year and I credit you largely to that milestone. I didn't know or understand anything about chess, but you brought a light to it and made it something I get an incredible amount of joy (and rage) from. Thanks Levy for all that you do, God bless you

    A lot if that is thanks in part to you Levy, being a fellow New Yorker your content made this journey so fun and funny. It convinced me to join my local club and I’ve made some real cool friends. Please keep it up in to the new year. You’re awesome!

I remember back in feb I was so much happy about No Way Home. The entire Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield thing, I can't express it. I just hope that how 2021 went, 2022 should be a lot more different. Happy New Year! Fellow Gothamers.

    I love how he puts it.... Almost every chess player hates the game, we're just knda stuck in it! 4 months ago, I lost 23 bullet games in row on tilt. 11 days later, I had my biggest winning streak of 39 bullet games in a row, pushing me past 2050 for a brief time! And honestly this is what drives me. The urge to come back from a loss, or the urge to keep going when I'm winning.
