12:47 Levy sacrifices all his viewers to keep his queen
@@자작곡싸개 underrated comment
@@자작곡싸개 EXACTLY HOW IT SHOULD BE
Definitely
I woulda done the same
🤣🤣🤣
Levy actually posted the recap before hikaru lol
Because the round was so early Hikaru is still asleep. 5AM in the morning in LA
Coach beat him to it though!
beating a super gm and a gm
Having a tournament across the world and finishing it while Hikaru is sleeping in another timezone is peak GM thinking
He premoved the Hikaru recap
"Oh my wife woke up" *drops everything to reply* Levy, a gentlemen and a scholar

Average "I know where you are hiding" head turn
i like how his eyeball turned first
"Hello there, my enemy." ahh turn
I saw it and immediately had to rewind and watch it again.
The amount of times ‘coach’ came up in the calculations is so heartwarming 🥺
That's one wholesome relationship!

I'm just a humble 1300 who started playing chess in 2021 after watching Queens Gambit. Levy's videos were the first instructional videos I ever watched to teach me about tactics and openings and I in fact bought two courses to help me with my development. His teaching style and humor kept me with him and four years later he's still my go to for chess content. Ive watched Naroditsky and Rosen amongst others but Levy is the man I've entrusted my learning to, not that he knows it. To see him back on the board and playing well is so good to witness, I always thought he had way more talent than he was able to display due to his lacking belief in his very obvious abilities. So, good luck Gotham, I'm loving watching you become a Road Warrior and I hope you get GM
dude that happened to me too, exactly the same except i’m a very humble 1100 xD
but this guy man, the content goat! I wish nothing but the best for Levy, really hoping for him to understand that he’s hella talented and to see him become a GM
Levy is awesome he probably will be a GM soon... you can also try watching Kaspachess videos if u wish to improve same almost same like levy but just not as big as Gotham
I'm a humble 1400 who takes pride in watching his development and proving everyone wrong
I started playing this year on 6 January. Now I am 1192. Am I talented by any chance? 😂 I watch his video a lot. Opening, middlegame and all. This man is really great!
you guys in this comment section are so bad... im 2100 after 1.5 year of playing
20:05 "I spent 33% of my time."
A reference to Levy's course having 33% sale.
XDDD
in the last video he also said his opponent spent 33% of his moves moving his queen
Oh my god that's genius I didn't even notice the subliminal message.
6/9 is a pretty good score at such a high level. Can yall please stop making memes and mockery for a minute and appreciate someone who is doing so well. It makes me so happy to see the person who has taught millions of people chess, win and achieve things. Much love❤
Yeah 6/9 is great. The problem was he got paired with a bunch of lower rated players until the end which makes it hard to gain ELO.
Its a "Nice" score, if I say so myself
69 haha funi numbir
Hahaha 69 the funny number!!
We can appreciate someone doing well and also appreciate the "nice!"
Something I learned when I broke 2500 online. Everything under 2500, I was always winning on crazy tactics and sacrifices, after 2500 I was always losing on time looking for tactics and sacrifices. In order to keep growing I have to tell myself to just make improving moves. If they are thinking for a long time, they are probably going to avoid any crazy tactics. They are good. So I'll just play defensive. Make improving moves. Keep up in time. Then when they are feeling the pressure I have time to look for mistakes. It was crazy how much different high level chess is. I'm much older than you and got into chess way too late. I'll never be titled or play over the board tournaments. But the little bit of online experience I have gives me so much respect for your journey. You've learned and relearned the game so much already. Committing yourself to relearning it over and over again until you make GM is amazing. Keep up the good work Levy. Even if it takes a few years I'll be cheering you on for as long as it takes. You skinny armed bozo.
how did you break 2500 online and yet have no titles? you're practically FM already
@@JohnPork-gr3bx I've never really played over the board, nore do I have time or interest in tournaments.
@JohnPork-gr3bx blitz and classical is completely different bro
Okay the coach’s advice that “if the opponent hasn’t done anything horribly wrong in the opening you can’t just go try and take their head off” sort of hit me pretty hard. Anyone else extremely guilty of this?
Yeeeeep. I get away with it at my current level b/c 1200-1500 rated players make more frequent mistakes. But I'm gonna pay for it when I get to 1600-1800. Need to shed this tendency before the Vegas Open next July or I'm gonna get crushed...
Well yeah, but I think being guilty of it is the wrong way to think about it because it's a perfectly valid way to play below the GM level. You can absolutely look at a dead drawn position as an intermediate player and say, "I'm going to force this win." It's riskier, but you can absolutely do it. Maybe don't do it straight out of the opening, but if the game is dead drawn all game and you are trying to win at all costs, it has to happen eventually and you can keep creating threats.
Well said! It’s so hard to hold back sometimes when you see a good attack, and don’t respect ur opponent
Same. I always feel like I have to do something to force the issue instead of slowing improving the position. Sometimes this works out perfectly, sometimes I lose a pawn or two which leads to a losing endgame.
100% ill be up 3 points of material 7 on the bar and just cannot help myself from going buck-wild
GM Neiksans is cooking with the streaming commentary, feels like watching a chess anime. Keep the work up both of you
Chess anime is a hilariously accurate description.
It's been really entertaining (in a very good way)
The pen throw was something to write home about after the tournament @26:32
always count on weebs to plug in their degenerate hobby in the end of their comment
When he said he's also a streamer, for 4 years, it made sense on how confortable he is with streaming for long hours and keeping us entertained.
Also yeah, those last 3 rounds were peak anime. Insane immortal win with coach going crazy, then heartbreaking loss in a stoic game, followed by the grand season finale.
In some years we'll have "That time I reincarnated as a GrandMother after sacrificing the rook"
Congratulazioni for your win Gotham!!
I feel involved in 30:55 considering I'm the guy that never comment or chat in Twitch but still made so many km to meet you in Spilimbergo 😅😅
Waiting for a Fan Event and Thank you for showing me everything you made me passionate about.
Again Congratulations!!🎉🎉🎉
I absolutely love the way Levy silences the haters and hypes himself at 30:30. Reminds me of "Who do you think you are, I am!"
That hyped me up😂
EXACTLY SAME.
"i'm kevin durant, you know who i am"
14:31 Levy goes all John Galt
Who is John Galt?
Absolutely! The truth is, successful driven people rarely spend any time in live chats or comment sections. Not even when they're like 8 years old. So, anyone spitting at Levy on either format are just scrubs...like me.
Levy's reaction to the Engine approving of his plan at 22:42-23:04 is so good. At some point he needs to figure out that he's actually good at this.
Imposter syndrome is real and even effects masters of their craft. Bravo to Levy we’re rooting for you !
I just started playing chess and have struggled with sports almost my whole life so to see Levy pushing himself constantly both in and out of them gym has truly been an inspiration. If you’re reading this man know you are making the world a better place and keep up the screaming you’re killing the game. ❤️
12:47 “Wife over y’all” are words to live by, very wholesome!
@@Ambushhh111 what if he never gets money than how important is his wife
@@juker59 even more important
@@Ambushhh111 so he rather starve to death and be homeless doubt it
@@juker59 Sounds like Levy has the right priorities.
BUT if you're not wifed up, what then? :)
30:18 wow, that "i know i can do it" actually gave me chills. Way to go man.
Yeah I always thought the "you can't get good at ____ past a certain age" arguments were bullshit. I'm rooting for him just to see that it can be done. There are plenty of people who get their GM titles up to their 60's and Levy is definitely talented enough. And he has the wealth and time to do it. If he had kids and was working some 9-5 garbage job tanking their college fund, hiring coaches so he could pursue a GM title I'd be skeptical.
30:08 - 30:37... the strongest and most confident Levy I've seen to date. Such a great moment. Yes Levy, you CAN do it. I believe in you!!!
30:30 actually made me emotional cause I know the feeling of trying to overcome a lack of self confidence and finally just saying “you know what? I can f******* do this “
12:30 it’s crazy how you can be a chess player and married at the same time
Bro even Hikaru is married and Magnus has a gf
@@geenethmethmin2487 and anish and grischuk has children already
Magnus does? @@geenethmethmin2487
@@geenethmethmin2487 i think he was sarcastic
🤣🤣🤣 That was a true LOL mate
I really enjoyed seeing how happy and motivated Levy was at the end. He could use a confidence boost, and it was well-deserved. Congrats Levy!
My no 1 favorite thing about Levy is his sense of narrative drama. The pauses, the buildup, the way he modulates his voice, the rhetorical contrasts. You can tell he really pays attention to this. I'd so listen to a version of the Iliad narrated by Levy :D
Man, road to gm has made me smile more than any other series I've watched on CZcams. I'm so happy for Levy and I can't wait to see him become a general manager
Having your coach do livestreams of your games has made me a lot more interested in watching tournament recaps! Makes it all the more thrilling!
Levy was definitely smiling at himself while doing mundane tasks around his house after this
Levy: beats a GM
Kramnik probably: "I find this very interesting..."
Did somebody say 'Procedure'?
"He was losing to 2200 and then beat a GM in the same tournament? Interesting..."
"Nice! Let's do the procedure"
Part of me thinks this is probably the absolutely best outcome for your 3rd tournament back. The first two gained you rating, boost your confidence, and this one sends the "don't get too big headed", but ends on a "you got this" note too (and ends up proving those gained rating points are real - you're better now than you were). I've learned so much from watching your streams, and I'm grateful for how you skilfully blend key ideas and concepts into an entertaining presentation. In particular from this game, pointing out the idea of "I'm not going to play for what I want, but rather take away everything they want", was a nice concept to introduce and then demonstrate. Anyone can set up and demonstrate some tactics, but those deeper conceptual ideas that you throw in have helped me (slowly, it takes time to fully come to grips with those concepts and how to implement them of course). But being old enough to be your dad, I'm aware that when someone with that level of understanding can also communicate it to others, that is a clear indication they will rise to the top of their field. You've got this, and seeing the difference in your responses to losses this time around, you've got this hands down. Sure, it will still take work, and there's lots to do, but you knew that. What we all know now, though, is it will just be a matter of work and time as there's no question about it paying off. That's a done deal. Well done. And in all honesty, I think the best outcome is exactly what this event gave you. (sorry for the verbosity).
P.S. Are you dying your hair ginger? ha ha
LFG Levy finishing the tournament with +0.2 elo. Only UP 📈
The part from Levy from 30:00 was really genuine from him and some great inspiring lines. Keep it up sir, i wish i can focus like you on my goals as u have done.
got me choked up in the club
Levy, I consider this series to be peak chess content. Sports coverage is always more interesting when a story is involved and your struggles and successes are just so much more relatable and interesting to me than to find out which of the 10 super GMs wins the next turnament, with an exception maybe being the Candidates or the WC. Keep up the good work, and while I root for you to get the GM title, the road is great content, not matter the outcome! Glad the haters don't get you down and all the best from a usually silent viewer.
@@Creativitybias for real! I believe he can do it, but whether he makes it to GM or not, he's really enjoying these games and learning and proving thing to himself along the way. At the very least he is and will keep pushing farther than he did before.
Congratulations Levy.
If you can beat 3 GMs in just 3 tournaments it’s now a question of consistency and repertoire not ability.
Loving your journey. I hadn’t played chess in 20 years until I stumbled on your channel during Covid. I’m improving steadily just watching your content.
So do I, I didn't play chess for almost 20 years!!!
The comeback to not losing any rating points is huge. Congrats on the big finale!

Old fan here and i never comment before
i have watched your last gm hunt and comparing it to this gm hunt, it just seems like you are happier , more motivated and more confident.
You can do it Levy , go go go.
You know a coach is good when one of his students says "I hope he doesn't get any more private students" not out of hate for the coach but instead out of respect for what the coach can do for students. Extreme respect for Nieksans.
I'm a new fan, more or less because of the algorithm, only since this spring/beginning of summer/road to GM. Not a clue what things were like in the past and I don't even play chess. But it is an absolute treat watching you now. I genuinely admire your mental game, positivity, reflection, introspection, and pure willingness to learn and explore. Also, your sport and pop culture knowledge, references, and deep cuts are so good. Truly entertaining and educational. Lastly, big up for speaking out on the misogyny and such. You're a good man and a great role model.

The dynamics of watching coach and levy finding the same moves with a slightly different mindset is amazing.. love it, waiting for hikarus blitz style analysis of this game.. way to go!
"Work on yourself...I know I can do it". Damn right, Levy. That's how winner's think, and you are him.
I really love this series. I kinda stopped watching the channel for almost a year, but this series brought me back to it. Its so nice to see how you are trying to be your best self

That ending monologue got me HYPED. LFG LEVY. Proud of you, bud.
levy sacrificed the rook but the GM didn’t want to take it because he didn’t want to hear levy scream THE ROOKK !!
As a former teammate of Alberto, he was always there when it mattered the most, getting important wins to save the team. He also beat IM Kvaloy Aksel Bu to win 1750€ last month, so congratulations Levy!
'I hate chess'
A human that beat grandmaster in chess
WTG Levy. I think having a coach is teaching just the right amount of restraint you need when you've got the opponent nailed down. "Come get me. (I know you have nothing :-)) " Levy 1.0 is still going to like the gangster moves but you have to keep them for the really precise moments. And you did. Well played.
Levy never fails to beat grandmothers
The cinematic buzz towards the end, almost had me shedding a tear there. We admire you Levy - keep up the honest work!
You better check your coach's mental health. My guy was flabbergasted during the whole game.
Your mental outlook and fortitude are leagues ahead of the prior road to GM stint. It's obvious how much you have grown and developed. You're inspiring me to grow and develop myself.

32:15 levy oils up
It appears Levy has to avoid jet lag in the future. It has taken him about 7-8 games to get past that.
There were so many important chess things in that game. Bad are a weak position and not having offensive play. Levy found how to stay safe and maintain offensive plans to beat even a GM. Excellent stuff.
Levy this is the 5th week in a row you've beaten a GM for show and tell.
