Some say he's extremely disfigured. That children would scream and run away when they saw him. That a car accident pulverised and mashed his face into a hideous gargoyle. Despite this adversity, he's risen to become a top chess youtuber. Levy is truly an inspiration.
Yeah, we all are humans after all, however gotta remark, their "mistakes" are the equivalent to a decent move to an average human, because most of them are not really mistakes, but just a choice that is not as strong as other
I love how they say their ideas while playing, because it's not about winning and being better than the other person, it's about having fun and helping give those who watch experience in how to play different positions. I could learn a lot from that
I love having the board on the screen. It’s cool to see how the meter moves based on the moves. As a beginner I have no idea if it’s a good move or terrible so it is helpful.
@@earrapestudios9066 Before touching a piece without the intention to move it you have to say j'adoube. If it is not allowed to talk the j'adoube rule is not needed.
as a spanish man,this man made chess more well known is spain,i really appreciate him and what he's done and you collabing with him is great,happy this happened
Are you Spanish? If so can I ask a question? You say he made chess more well know. People seemed pretty excited during his match with Karpov. Is this due to how popular Rey Enigma has become or has chess always been seen as exciting in Spain? It's just all very confusing because I can only imagine that a chess player on America's got talent would be met with silent bored stares.
I realize there's no way you ever see this, but Rey is a brilliant chess hustler... really... I saw the Karpov match too and your match with him only cemented what I knew I was seeing... I loved the banter between you two, it was like seeing thought processes... really nice... but Rey has a knack when the time control gets chilly... you even mention it yourself in the end frenzy... but he's a defensive/tactical player at heart... his skill is in keeping the game interesting through the longest part of the clock.... his talent is in seeing tactics quickly... he gets it going around the 20 second mark and sails away... Rey has skill no doubt... you have skill too... but there's a reason Rey doesn't play classical time controls... tactics, my chess compatriots, lead to great blitz results!
Dear Levy and Rey, I just want to tell you how much I enjoyed watching this. You two are the most civil, courteous, and gracious opponents I have seen. Levy, you are such a good sport and good player, right up till the end of each game. Rey, I was swept away by how smoothly and easily you could turn the tables. This video made my day ☀
Second game was a completely madness! (including those heavy pieces were falling on the board). Well, everyone watched that you deserved to win the match, according to what was seen in the games. Sorry for my English, but it is not my first language. Thanks for this content, Levy.
Maybe in the future, there is a Rey Enigma face reveal, and I can imagine how he takes off his costume of his face, he will be agadmator and say: Hello everyone!😂😂😂
He usually uses a voice changer in his channel, and mostly on TV, but when he does street chess, he needs a way to hide his true voice, so he practiced that head voice just for these moments.
Wow the tactic at 24:50 is super interesting. The problem is your rook is tied to the first rank or else there's Rf1 Kc2 Rc1#, so you can't play Rxe8 and by extension Qxe8 either. The way to go about it is you must throw in Qe5+ intermezzo, this forces king to go to the backrank so Qxe8 is available, since QxQ will have RxQ with check, so there's no checkmate for black. That was the one important tempo
I can see Rey's secret winning technique, he taps his clock twice every move! Bad luck Levy you should have won several of those games to clinch the $1K.
Oh my God, I LOVE it when you play yourself in a weird position and the opponent attacks and you STILL manage to defend somehow just like that, like saying "you have nothing". Stockfish does a lot of that, but I never saw a human with a playstyle like that I need to see more of this guy's games
It’s really interesting to watch games like these as a spanish native speaker. I would love to do the subtitles since I’ve been a subscriber for quite a while and I really support all the content you make. I’m from Mexico and I spent some time abroad in the US so I’d be happy to help
Some say that his real face is also in a checkered pattern, and that he can castle through check. All we know is, he's called the st- uh, I mean, Rey Enigma.
you missed a really cool tactic.22:12 you can win material. play bishop h6. if queen takes then Qc3,bishop blocks and Qc2 is mate. The only good move is Re3 and Bxe3 and Qxe3 and then you deflect the queen with your rooks and eventually it is checkmate
I've never heard him, or you for that matter, play over the board. You two were a LOT of fun to watch and hear. That's something that I miss often with online games. Do more!
The cool thing about Rey Enigma is that he can be anyone, he can be a gm, im, fm, he might be even one of the top 20 or top 10 in the world and he can also be everyone what if the Rey Enigma here is not the original and is there really an original? To me he's like the Anonymous of the chess world.
Hey Levy, I'd love the honor to do the subtitles man. I've been watching your recaps constantly as soon as I get home from school, never miss any of your daily videos and I'm a fellow New Yorker (shoutout the Bronx). I'm also a native Spanish speaker from Nicaragua and a chess fan in both languages. Much love to you y a Rey Enigma. Gracias por hacer está colaboración, me gusta el contenido híbrido y que tanto tu como Rey Enigma están haciendo el ajedrez una fuerza global y exclusiva!
Man, I haven't watched Rey Enigma before but for a guy named like some sort of wwe wrestler his voice is really soft, it surprised me. He sounds like a really cool gentle dude who takes care of two or three puppies at home or something.
Hola Levi! Soy español y te hago encantado los subtítulos. No sé si quieres este video traducido al español o el otro al inglés. Just let me know and also what do you exactly want. It's amazing to see you both together :)
Top move after is Nh3, evaluated at 1 pawn in blacks favor. However with second pawn push Levy misses e5 first to box the bishop in and break open the kingside.

Yeah true. He give him a leason in chess and personaltiy.
the ambient was chill and fun, as it should be :D
Rey - "I want to push e4"
Levy - *makes a move*
Rey - *pushes e4*
Levy - "ah, yeah I missed that"
😂😂😂😂😂😂
He lost on purpose.
*surprised Pikachu face
I think he means he missed the strength of that move.
Well to be fair, he actually said "I want to push f4", while Levy was making his move. He only corrected himself to e4 after the move was made
playing chess against a chess board is some metatheory.
How did I just realise this?
Good one!
Levy: I wanna go for some tactics.
Rey: which one? So I can start calculating
Lol
That was so funny hahshhs
Yeah that was hilarious 😅
Best line in the video IMO.
I read this exactly when they were saying it. What a coincidence haha.
Who else absolutely loves the way Rey says "wow" at everything?

Like this 15:34? "Wow"
mans saying "guau" lmao
Reminds me of Mickey Mouse. I love it. :)
@@fernandohadad now that you mention it, it gave me mickey mouse vibes lol
It's comforting to know that even at this level, you guys still say "that was a bad move I just realized" Immediately after playing said move.
Its blitz. Even super computers have trouble playing top moves in that time frame.
Yeah, we all are humans after all, however gotta remark, their "mistakes" are the equivalent to a decent move to an average human, because most of them are not really mistakes, but just a choice that is not as strong as other

After you meet someone you don’t need to impress them or give a good first impression anymore.
2:52 "I want to go for some tactics.."

I've said for a while - classical chess would be infinitely more interesting if they allowed this kind of random banter during the game.
Is it actuall prohibited? Or just not done?
