Stop playing chess with that damn tank top on
@Belle ♪ I didnt know that 😍
It ruins his plays for sure
2 solutions: Focus on the chess game OR don't watch Levy.... it's that simple
fastest pin of shame
man got pinned in under 5 minutes, gotta be a new world record
Levy: "Let's fix the hood"
Levy: messes up the hood
Reagan moment.
Thankfully he actually fixes it soon after.
@Belle ♪ hmmm yes this is a very interresting comment please comment more links
He fucked up so hard with that, that he should recreate the video (not wearing a hoodie)

lichess will always be better than you
You guys deleted my comment on your stream just because I said lichess is better lmao people can't accept truths nowadays
I never lost against Eric Rosen
same, but I actually never played against him... √[•π•√]
Me too
Ditto
Me neither
maaan, i never lost/draw a single game against MAGNUS though! :))
Levy: I'm winning
Eric: starts playing instantly
Levy: why am I hearing boss music
Takes a lot of courage to open up like this. Sports psychology can be extremely helpful and I highly recommend it. Believe in yourself, you're a good man.
can we appreciate that Levy successfully oh no my queened Eric Rosen in Game 1?
@@BobbyFischer0000 I mean you cannot get oh no my queened without you blundering somehow.
@DontGetBackranked why does W get translated to ln?
@@BobbyFischer0000 Hey, I am also a Sherlock Holmes novel fan.
The fact that Levy had to make a recap and go through the disheartening stuff....Again is heartbreaking. You are a gem levy. Keep trying, you'll get there! :)
he's a gem, not a GM
@@carecavoador uhm It's like you're complimenting him and then saying he's not a gm and disrespecting him at the same time, idk what to say
@@carecavoador Gem Not a GM Speed Chess Championship when?
@@rekhachandrasekhar you're not a gm, sorry for disrespecting you. 🤕
but still its better than being a kissass and lie about you without logic😆
Didn’t levy win last time they met? It’s always an interesting matchup when they go up against one another
Damn, Levy. Feeling for you. I always appreciate how honest you are about the anxiety that hits you in these top-level tournaments. Hope you get it figured out and can grow past this stage.
Hey Levy, this is actually the first time that I've ever commented on a youtube video, so i don't know if you'll even see this, but I wanted to say that recently I've been going through a difficult patch with my basketball, which is what I love the way you seem to love chess. No matter how many hours I spend training, or watching videos or learning sequences when push comes to shove on the court, none of it seems to matter because I just find myself empty. Basketball is my childhood dream, but it feels like it's slipping away a little more every day. I used to play a lot of chess when I was little, but I lost touch with it as I grew up. Over the past couple of months, one of the only things that let me feel like I'm not being suffocated by falling short, is watching your videos and playing chess. I don't know how many times I've watched "CRUSH The Queen's Gambit in 6 Moves: THE ALBIN", and it took me five minutes to recover from laughing over your 200 ELO game review. The hardest part about basketball is feeling like i just lose all the time. Watching your videos and playing chess, feels like the only place i can win right now. Even if that's a single blitz game against an 800, when the only thing you know is loss, a win, of any description, no matter how big, is everything, and you gave me a win Levy. I don't know if that is the most cringe thing you've ever read or what, but I just wanted you to know that. Even if you lost every over the board competitive match for the rest of your career, I will never be able to thank you enough for helping me through this time in my life the way you have. That being said, i do hope that someday i will get to thank you in person, for what i can only describe as being a friend. Take care of yourself my friend, and if you're ever down under, there's a room for you under my roof. Cheers, Jack
I hope Levy saw this. Good on ya, mate.
Eric is a beast in bullet right now. He plays instantly and sees tactics like a really strong GM. He's in his top form i guess.
The match was incredibly interesting and exciting (with beautiful commentaries).
Don't tilt, Levy. He was just a little bit better in the openings but he played hella faster. You're both are our great dudes, we love you both very much. Keep it up :) Cheers
A cmulit
What might be holding you back is having a results oriented mindset. Try changing your goals to be effort oriented. Because if you put all your effort in and still lose the game, you still succeeded in your goal
This is true. Also, play the next move - don't be thinking about the rating or the match score.
That is excellent advice!😁
Thanks for sharing this advice. I'm sure it will be very useful to me
@@kwhd559 looks like the edge lord hasn't received his cookies from mommy yet.
I think he's just so hyper focused on how he appears, that he thinks he is embarrassing himself when he plays poorly and tears himself up for it. It's very NY. Folks here won't even ride the subway because they don't want to be the person who fucks up scanning their card. No one gives a shit though.
You’ll always be in our hearts, Levy.
.
why you gotta word this like this video is his obituary
He's not dead mate
@@WrightyFPL Might as well be, the way he plays chess.
He didn’t die mate 😂
i watch both yours and eric's content and love both for different reasons. dont be discouraged losing to eric. you two are very evenly matched and have very different play styles. everyone gets nervous and has bad matches. treat it as a learning experience.
Really happy that you're so open and honest with your mental health struggles. That's a very courageous and vulnerable place to be in, and I know it's comforting to people who feel/have felt the same way.
Really appreciate this man. We really love your honesty. It encourages us not to be overly sad at a loss. Thank you for the humility.
Had a great time watching the games live, was and will always be rooting for Gotham! Wish all the support brother, thanks again for all the content 🙏
Hey Levy, don't be disheartened. I like your and Eric's game both, you both have different styles and both are awesome. Be strong and make progress. Wishing you luck.
This is one of your best recaps, very humble and respectful to your opponent. I loved it!
Levi, never give up. You're the best chess streamer for a reason. You're lovable, funny, kind and incredibly good at chess, everyone loses sometimes but you could still beat 99.99% of the world in this game. I hope all the best in the world for you
@@kwhd559 says the guy who would lose in 7 moves 🤣
Hello Levi, I know this feeling absolutely! I have also a similar situation with playing the guitar on stage; Many people got really high expectations when they hear me play because I got elected for a "special class for music" out of a hella lot of competitors. This putted so much pressure on me, that I completely froze infront of the audience --} I think it's the same for you. At home or when I play background music for other people everything works perfectly and I feel free (like you, when you are streaming) For me it helped talking with other people about my handycap and changing the mindset, so I can (especially before concerts) relax my mind. I hope I could give you a better feeling, that you are not alone with those problems. Liebe Grüsse, Samuel✌️
Hey buddy, this post stuck out to me because I've been through exactly the same thing. But I thought I'd mention a couple things here that I learned and might be helpful to you or anyone else with such circumstances!
As a guitarist and a naturally somewhat "neurotic" personality type, I had the same problem as you. At practice, I could play pretty well and I'd love to let it go and "show off". But before each gig I would get so nervous that I often couldn't sleep the night before. Usually I'd just bear down and hope for the best, and somehow get through the night with the help of a couple pitchers of beer! But one night, something happened to me that really had a lasting effect. We reached the part of the night where the guitar player (me) would do an extended solo. (This wasn't really a typical thing to do at the time, but in some ways we were still stuck in the 80s, LOL.) Anyhow, I'm in the middle of a solo section and spotlighted in front of a few hundred people (and scores of people standing or dancing right in front of us) and the worst possible thing that could happen, did happen. All of a sudden, my hands cramped up terribly; so much so that I could hardly play anything. In fact, playing nothing would have been better than doing what I did, which was to play very badly and loudly. In addition, it hurt so bad that I literally went to my knees and let out a painful, screeching howl. To my shock, I looked up to see a bunch of people jumping up and down, yelling and applauding. They loved it; perhaps they thought it was part of the act. Anyway, I soon recovered and went on to finish out the night in a great mood, and perhaps one of my best nights onstage ever.
By being forced to realize that sometimes even when the worst possible thing can happen, you can still come out OK or even on top, I learned that even the anxiety that you have inside you is a form of energy that doesn't have to be bad; it can also be turned into positive energy. :)
@@nasty_slapper Man that is awesome :) Thanks for sharing that! I had exactly the same thing! My problem was, that I'm a classical guitarist and usualy alone infront of a silent audience, hahahaha :))) But hey, I think every experience like that is a step further to a better future 🤘
Very insightful closing thoughts Levy! The way you reflected not only on your skill but also on your state of mind is incredibly profound. Sets a good example for everyone. Big ups to you!
Do what you enjoy mate, hopefully that is continuing to stream and post on YT for us to enjoy too!
oh he's gonna stop streaming ?? ohhh so unbelievable, yeah i don't believe this
I really like both yours and Eric's videos, I'm glad you played each other and I hope you had fun and learned too :)
Was watching the games yesterday and rooting for you. I can't imagine how stressful it is to play Eric when he defends like a chess machine low on time. You played some great games even with the setbacks. Hang in there and continue being awesome!
Such a privilege to watch both you and Eric play and stream. Love both your content. Keep your head up, Levy!
sos un gran jugador, te veo todos los días, aprendo y me divierto con tus comentarios. mañana será otro día y ese sentimiento horrible va a desaparecer. abrazo desde argentina
I really enjoy your CZcams channel. And I’ve gotten so much laughs out of the entertainment part. And so much hype during the recaps. And so much improvement from your courses and free stuff (like the closed positions, which is really great).
I hope the rest of your day goes well. Also it blows my mind that you post a new video every day. That’s wild. I would understand and respect it if you decided to change your posting schedule.
Hey man sorry to hear about the competitive stress. Hope you find some time to rest, feel better, and get the help you want. Rooting for you!
I watched this live and had a blast! The commentators are pretty good and it was pretty funny to watch you lose levi. Just kidding xD was rooting for you.

How can you tell them apart?
Appreciate you sharing insights of your thoughts n feelings!
Love both of you guys content. Your different styles are entertaining in just the right ways.
Love that you are willing to share your pain and your joys with us. You are sitting halfway accross the world but I can relate to how you feel on so many levels. Surreal. Hoping you all the best. Thank you for the amazing content. Think you have found your niche
Love that you hittin the gym broski love seeing them gains 💪
love this honest talk and self-assessment. I was a competitive Go player few years back, and always succumbed to nerve and ultimately lost to even much lower rated player. Had I addressed my anxiety like this, I probably had grown my character in some way through competitive board games. But instead, I quitted competitive play :)
You're an awesome speaker and I love your content. Keep up the hard work!
Big props to the honesty. I feel it's rare, that people open up like that in competitive settings, exactly because it is unpleasant to talk about it and to acknowledge the feelings involved. I love to see that you are using your reach for that matter. Greetings from Germany
I used to play alot of table tennis back in the day. I loved that sport, but when I went to tournaments, I would completely crumble under the pressure. Each new serve I practiced the week before felt unusable, I was missing shots that were completely free and just felt horrible each match. It even got to the point where I couldn't even get a single forehand to land on the table.
You are not alone in this.
It takes work and dedication and just something to change, but damn is it worth it to keep going and eventually get it right.
I feel you bro, don't be so hard on yourself. It's normal to go through those experiences I think. Just keep it pushing! Prep and then what's going to happen is going to happen!
Levy is a good sport and I appreciate his honesty about his mental health while playing. I hope he pursues whatever makes him happiest.
It was a great match! Eric was an immovable object. I know you can bounce back from this -- it'd be really interesting from a viewer perspective to see how sports psychology can work for chess, if you're willing to share!
Relieving to see, that even successful people like you feel that way sometimes. Keep your head up, it´s an important part of improvement!
Bruh, you have a beautiful career communicating chess, focus in what really matters and makes you and yours happy. Much love.
The honesty in your self-reflection is much appreciated.
Levi remember you’re worth more than a Queen.
You’re a king.
sexist
PocoKnight… well, no, in chess (which is referenced in this joke) the king is indeed more important than the queen objectively speaking as if you lose it you lose the game, also stop calling him Levi, it is very triggering lol
who is levi?
@@pocoknight8209 cant tell whether you are joking or super woke
Yes! More Eric vs Levi games!! Although I personally prefer classical or anything slower than blitz.
best wishes man hope you feel better soon
I get the same feeling in university. It feels like nothing I do will get me grades anywhere close to everyone else. It is a terrible feeling and I would love to hear how you get over it, and I dont want you to just escape it and "focus on other stuff" like I tell myself all the time.
In the QGD I would have tried playing an early Qc2 to stop Bf5. The best line is with Qf3 and to double the pawns. My understanding of the position is that White should control the f5 square with Nf3, Nh4, Kd2, Bd3 etc.
Hey Levy. I want to tell you that after tearing my ACL I've dived into chess deeply; sure I played before that but I've been subscribed to your channel since Fried Liver Attack video. I watch everything: guess the ELO, climb the ladder and others. Your channel is pure awesomeness: as much it is entertaining it is so educational that I want to come back and rewatch; you pour soo much knowledge in these! And...
...I feel the same way! No matter how much I know; during the game it is a complete different story. And it sucks! I then analyse the game and like "HOW COME I DIDN'T SEE THAT!". Anyway, that's not the point. The point is that I think I know what the problem could be. And it is about that Mamba Mentality! You told you watch NBA; I have been rooting for Suns since they went 8-0 in a bubble a few years ago. They were an amazing team, but in playoffs they shrank! Twice! It was upsetting to me. I like how Devin plays, CP3 is a great player too! Then I watched a video in Jimmy's channel; it is called When Trash Talking Goes Horribly Wrong (JxmyHighroller).
He talks about performancing under pressure; the mentality - when Devin was doubled team in practice he got frustrated. I see myself in this situation: I don't want to play a strong opponent because I am going to be buldozed (as you say). I care about winning and care about my rating more than I should; and afraid of a loss more than I should be as well.
I've also noticed that finding and making balanced choices is an absolutely essential trait; it is way easier to tilt and roll towards one side or the other. Maybe, just maybe, you are too respectful of your opponents that block you from challenging them with your full potential? I know you speak russian; I remember I read a book with aphorisms and found one that clicked for some reason: ученик не превзойдёт учителя, если будет видеть в нём образец, а не соперника. Based on your attitude in this video, I've noticed that you almost worship Eric whereas when you play subscribers you see them as BOZOs! Of course, you shouldn't go too far. That's why I talk about the balance here. Maybe next time you can say to Eric: I respect you, and it has been a great time, but you know what? I am about to destroy you this time [evil laugh]!
I might be totally wrong; I haven't solved my problems with this advice; but it doesn't hurt to try (actually it might, but it's fine, I guess). Of course, you still should speak to a sports therapist. Maybe even share some of my ideas with one; will be awesome if this comment reaches you and you'll find it helpful!
Good luck and keep doing what you are doing! Your channel is beyond amazing!
If you were gonna lose to anyone, I was happy it was Eric. You 2 are my favorite streamers and it was exciting watching that match. Maybe you just need some of Eric's green tea, maybe that's the secret to settling down and relaxing your mind as you go through the match. He was as calm as you can be the whole time and was laser focused. Best of luck on calming the nerves though for next time, we all know how good you are when you're on your game.
This is the first chess video I am watching in over a year. Glad I never turned off the notifications from Levy.
Really appreciate the honesty and transparency about how you felt during the match with Eric, gives us mere mortals hope to keep getting better at this game. Stay strong mate!
Had a rough stream (Trash at Chess) and this helped. Hang in there bud. You're the man!
I feel you. Often times I reach a point where I need to go for a walk during work because a problem is frustrating me. Something just isn't clicking, whatever it may be. Sucks. But... breakthroughs come, as you know
Love you, love Eric... keep playing, you encourage me to keep doing my best even when I lose.
22:13 being a 1200 i feel nothing while playing too, i know how you feel levy, the only difference is i feel nothing because i did prepare nothing, but you feel nothing because of anxiety.but you and gm igor smirnov are my best teachers, love your personality and your knowledge man, even after becoming a gm you still post these games for us to learn a lot. thank you. we love you for the love of chess,you never clickbait us, you are the most honest person ever and for a fact we know you wont give up because if you cant do it ,nobody can.
I watched this live and although I was routing for Eric, I felt bad for you too as your my 2nd favourite youtuber and learnt so much from you 👍
Im sure you will be back and avenge your loss at some point👏
very love your content, you really honest!
We're all behind you, Levy - You do you, and we'll support you in it.
It happens, keep your head held high! I enjoy your stuff on youtube, no matter what tournaments you lose or win! So keep the stuff coming Levy
You are amazing Levy. We will always support you through both your highs and lows
Honestly, it's so painful to see Levy being so disappointed with himself. But no matter what, we always root for you. And Eric Rosen gotta win the tournament now that he has beaten our Gotham 💥
I think Levy needs to learn the ancient Japanese art of "Literally not caring".
Rozman v. Rosen - War of the Roses (Online)
Thank you for the review. The match was an exciting watch (was following parts of it live). Love you both. Life is brutal but it still rips.
"The board is my canvas
The pieces my brushes
The moves are my strokes and The Mate is my culminated masterpiece."
Thanks
Eric vs Levi once again! Great recap to see
i feel you my man, keep on going man, still love the vid and the games
Your honesty is really admirable Levy. Role models like you will help change the perception of athletes as invulnerable machines and help people in their own mental health battles. Keep looking after yourself and we'll support you whatever you choose to do. Remember you're worth more than a queen!
Big fans of you both. Don't be too hard on yourself Levy! Keep up the content and don't stop competing. 👊
I was about to watch this match and then the thumbnail of this video showed up in the recommendations. With the final score clearly visible.
Thanks.
Watched it live. Brutal. Thought you had Eric again after 5+1. Tough luck. GGs man, love your courses.
2 things: inconsistency (a known issue) and how to make a plan when your opponent stops everything? The latter is a huge issue in master games, even in Karpov v Kasparov.
This was an important experience, no doubt. You see more clearly the way to speed up your progress in improving your world-class skills.
I’m perhaps doing nothing more than projecting here but I spent years working on my mental wellness and conditioning. It took quite a long time for me to see that my dad, the person who loves and cares about me more than literally anyone, had been unintentionally abusing me psychologically. I couldn’t see it until recently but my dad is tragically insecure. The way he learned to cope with that insecurity is by minimizing any strengths he sees in others.
He has no idea that he does this and would NEVER knowingly do it. He treats people he doesn’t know with genuine care…I’ve seen it my whole life. With his loved ones, he’ll sacrifice anything. This made the abuse nearly impossible to identify. To have the person who cares most about me make me feel like I’m not enough…that the things I do are not enough…it created some maladaptive core beliefs.
When I finally, after years of work, was able to understand what happened in my family-of-origin, things immediately improved for me in important ways.
I see myself in you. Likely this is because of the fact that I look up to you combined with straight up projection.
Whatever the case, you’re clued into the fact that psychological stuff to sort and that’s everything. You can’t fix what you don’t acknowledge.
You’re ready. Take some time to do it right. Shop around as needed and find you a good ass therapist player. You got the mental wherewithal to work therapy successfully. Not everyone does. I see your determination to be real af with yourself- in therapy that’s 85% of the game.
WE ARE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU, LEVY!.. We Love your videos and we are with you.. Hang in there.
Keep your head up mate. You'll be fine. I know you can do it.
From your account it seems like you're feeling symptoms of nervousness. It's not a big deal to forget your opening when you're nervous.
People forget how to speak when they're nervous, ever had that happen?
It's common, dont' be so hard on yourself.
It takes some getting used to, but after you do, you'll be able to think under pressure.
I know you can do it man.
Cheers.
When do you shave or do you trim?
Levy, you were born (or at some point in your childhood, instilled) with an intense competitiveness. This is honestly one of the hardest things to deal with as “first-world-problem” as it sounds. But people with that competitiveness have a choice. Either give up for fear of failure or keep pushing to get even better. I commend you for pushing this hard and this far in your life to become incredibly skilled at something you’re passionate about. Myself and many others with this same competitiveness don’t have the balls that you have had to keep pushing through that pain of defeat. That’s what makes you different from us. Don’t give up man. Losing is never going to be easy, especially in big coverage events like this. But if you keep at it I’m 100% certain you’ll obtain GM status someday and go down in history as another one of the greats.
Keep ur head down and keep pushing Levi! You're awesome!
Maybe try experimenting with some E4 Italians or giouco pianos? I know Eric would know the lines but it could be a nice surprise!
Which opening should you choose based on your rating ?
Hey Levy! Thank you for this great content! You played some very good games! You're my favorite chess youtuber! Keep up improving your style! I like your aggressiveness ! Greetings from Greece!🇬🇷
0:00 start of every video Levy looks like a helpless puppy
I remember watching you in last year's I'm not a Gm championship, was great to see you beat Eric and make it to the finals. Hope to see you there again next year!
Can't wait to see the pragg ding finals recap
Levi, Levi, Levi . . . You had some great stuff in that match. We'll always be rooting for you.
Keep your head up champ. You a great lad
Levy, I appreciate your direct honesty with us. It's nice to see this side from titled players.
Somehow seems like a win to me, after enjoying this video so much…. You’re terrific, Levy! 😊
I love the initial frame of every video
"Brutal!!" Tough loss. Eric is the real deal - he defends crazy good with no time on the clock. Also, Eric is really in form right now. Sports psychologist, hmmm, not sure. Are you a super competitive chess player who entertains or a super talented entertainer who plays chess really well? Thanks for the great episode!!
Hikaru have money on Eric going GM.
This is the painful truth that I hope he realizes. Levy puts so much time into his Twitch and CZcams and its all great but he can't be hard on himself when he can't keep up with guys who are putting chess above those things.
A sports psychologist can never hurt his performance. It doesn't hurt to try.
@@kwhd559 and you know this because...?
@@kwhd559 so you know this because you're a sports psychologist. Is this what you're saying?
Hi there, I like your openness and honesty.
So, I'm not a professional, but from past experiences I have good results handling pressure by practicing physical exercises which strengthen the connection between the lobes in the brain.
The results are fast and outstandingly good. It helps a lot of children with math tests pressure etc. Which makes them 'frozen' as you described. Perhaps you can explore those technics which takes only few minutes in a day to practice.
Hey Levy, you are a smart guy a believe that you will figure it out. Mindset istnt fixed thing and getting nervous isnt something one could not eventually overcome. I wish you find your original way in chess that suits you best. You will allways have my infinite gratitutde for the impact of your channel here. ✊✊
Where can we see the post-match interview?
Damn, can really relate with chocking under pressure. I think the problem is when you're nervous you start spending most of your mental energy on thoughts unrelated to the game. I think the trick is to just become accustomed to it, do it so much that you don't care anymore.
ohh my mate eric
U should read this book(or get the audiobook): _The Mental Game of Poker: Proven Strategies for Improving Tilt Control, Confidence, Motivation, Coping with Variance, and More_ ...it shifts ur mindset in not only poker but all competitive areas of ur life bro
Went to my local chess club yesterday and lost like all my games... I felt the same way, just... empty.
Although not on the same level I think I can relate 😅
I rewatched Thor 1 and 2 last night. I learned about Rosen's bridge he made with Einstein.
"I know that feeling"
Trust me
