Gotta commend Levy for being so determined to provide us with an in-depth analysis of each game that he'd even break in and stream in someone else's house
Man I love it when super GMs go full terminator. The red eyes, hands transforming into claws to crush pieces, the whir of their reactors calculating. It’s my favorite part of otb chess
Ian's knight at the end is a monster: it protects all of his 3 remaining pawns; it attacks 2 of Ding's pawns and the bishop; and it can be used for a mating attack or to defend against pawn pushes.
This match was such a great showdown from Ian, he dominated from the start and gave no chance to Ding to go towards a draw, let alone win. 10/10 play from Ian
@@faouri. So? Just because someone’s a “grown ass man” doesn’t mean a hug can’t go a long way. As the previous person said, this is his life’s work, especially in SUCH A TENSE GAME. No wonder he’s totally shook
@@user-te7rf8ik7z If you think about it they all lose from 1 slight inaccuracy-blunder-mistake (Magnus making the fewest mistakes). Ian may start to tire out after game 7 if Ding strikes back. They are literally on same level so all it takes is 1 inaccuracy and it can be a wrap.
Nepo didn't "finally think". Ding got up from the board to go take a break, and Nepo waited for him with his own clock running. Man out there playing bullet vs Ding and beat him anyway. It was savage.
crazy how Ian's opening theory and gameplan applied so much pressure and how that pressure was MAXIMIZED between moves 35 and 40. really truly excellent strategic metagame to put Ding in the most critical position when he had the least amount of time to defend
Hey gotham! thank you for being a positive content creator and teaching me chess to an extent it’s been a blast and i won a chess tournament at my high school thanks to you. i hope you see this comment and understand how much this community values you:) you’re an incredible content creator and are absolutely hilarious
I hope you are okay levy❤ you really never know what people go through daily yet this man never falls short of providing us with amazing content everyday. Stay blessed much love from South Africa ❤
I can't help imagine this as troop movements and armies. I just love the concept of a general who has thought of every single interaction for the first quarter of the battle while the brilliant tactician he's against just does his best on the backfoot but is clearly struggling.
Such high level chess. In moments where Levi mentions that this was a strong move, it is not a clear advantage from the moment the move gets played. That eval bar moves so minimally as well. Love to see it, even though I understand it very little haha.
This game was just insane. Props to levy for making this video and understanding all the tactics. He’s a strong chess player too with the only thing holding him back being intimidation and the downward spiral that comes from it. He deserves the title GM he just needs to earn it.
Wow, I don't think I've ever seen that kind of bullying in a chess game before. It felt like one of those nature documentaries where the mama lion is teaching her cubs how to hunt, and they're just slowly toying with their prey
Can't believe I'm saying this, I'm happy for nepo. I'm glad he didn't just crumble like last year. That's huge for him. I also agree this championship should be played much sooner to avoid so much prep. It's smart because it's allowed but the style of memorizing 50 moves to gain a time advantage seems bitch. Or maybe only when nepo does it😂😂
This match is amazing. I don't care if the best chess player in the world isn't there. The drama and the suspense has got me hooked. Now I can only wonder what's going to happen tomorrow.
Wow, I can't believe that this dude managed to play with one of the best chess players of all time who has such an insane Elo rating! Ding Liren is such a lucky guy.
Hey Levy, just messeging to tell you that i love the content, keep it up you legend! you are the funniest man in the chess scene by FAR and your videos are so much more interesting to watch then anyone elses on youtube.
I think that this is the most important advantage you get at the highest level with the White pieces because you can prepare 10 engine lines and study them for the opening that you are going to play.
Shout out to Ian for playing in the world championship with 279 elo
The true mvp
YES
I could beat that
*he probably took goddamn chess courses*

Well let's appreciate Levy for making this recap even though he is being held hostage. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
His kidnappers know if he doesn’t upload, people will get suspicious
he could have jumped out the window to escape, but there's no window there.
Please do not be alarmed.
Sorry, I'm the one holding him hostage
I’m alarmed.
Gotta say, this years World Championship is way more exhilarating than last years
Yea cos Magnus uses 0% of his power to legit anihalate people
and also cause chess is more popular now.
In general, yeah it's much more exciting. However, I doubt any individual game will be as crazy as 2021 game 6.
hopefully we see goddamn chess and harvest naka fight in chess
Well duh cuz when Magnus is playing it's obvious who's winning
With him out of the picture it gets interesting again
Insane challenge: try not to do a "Ian got 279 elo joke" (Impossible)
.....but.....uhhhh.....
I MEAN ITS Amazing how he played ding liren, it gives hope to all of us-
Oh shoot i failed the challenge...
How nice to get both a world championship coverage and an episode of 200 Elo Chess in the same video

That is why we all are nerds!
@@iwanttobeabillionaire1703 Wait, he always told to play know openings
I think what Levy's talking about is the fact that Ian blitzed out 25 moves of prep before finally going for a flank pawn attack.
Ian's knight at the end is a monster:
it protects all of his 3 remaining pawns; it attacks 2 of Ding's pawns and the bishop; and it can be used for a mating attack or to defend against pawn pushes.
A true Octopus Knight.

Poor Ding... Loosing a game in such a devastating fashion after his brilliant victory yesterday must feel incredibly frustrating, I feel for the man 😔
The victory wasnt yesterday
Dings brilliant victory was Ian blundering.
Ian wins when he slowly outplays Ding.

Ian is definitely the favorite at this point. That was absolute strategic dominance.
Nepo played opening faster than I play in blitz game, just insane prep.
The levels of decibels from Levy's voice is half of when he's at home. I wonder who's there that cannot be disturbed
I was watching the game live it was just insane my 200 elo brain wasnt able to comprehend anything
You're not alone if you look at Ian his rating is only 279 so you're on your way to being a chess champion
Bruh what you talking about Ian is playing with 279 elo,just 79 elo above you
Its ok, if Ian won at 200 elo so could you understand it
Change your Luffy profile pic and you’ll gain 500 ELO and 50 IQ points automatically
@@ssj4rit Says the one named Killua Zoldyck
Almost flawless game by Ian, his prep really paid off
Ding went straight into Ian's prep. Man, it must have been scary for him
i couldn't imagine being 2788 and losing to a guy who is 279

Gotta love Levy, even though hes sick, and he isnt at his original set up, he still finds time to deliver us such an in depth analysis video
imagine waiting 50 minutes while your opponent plays into your prep and you can't even watch subway surfers
The intense battle between Ding and Ian are fascinating to watch!
Ian spending two minutes on 15 moves with an hour and 58 mins on the clock, typical 279 elo fashion.
Nepo getting a crushing win🔥
Such high level chess. In moments where Levi mentions that this was a strong move, it is not a clear advantage from the moment the move gets played. That eval bar moves so minimally as well. Love to see it, even though I understand it very little haha.

Ding won again Yessssssss
So Nice of Levy's Kidnapper for providing him with a computer for him to continue the daily grind.
Ian playing the first 22 moves in less time than the 23rd is wild
"You just want your opp to not move anymore"
relatable
So cool to see a world championship with so many wins
there's a conspiracy theory that Ding's prep was leaked to Ian. Thus, the war between those fans begins.
You were right about the closed game. At the end, the bishop just sat there like a lemon, while the horsey ran in and made a killing move. Beautiful.
That wasn’t a night. That was a mad god guarding every fuc**ing square
Wow, I don't think I've ever seen that kind of bullying in a chess game before. It felt like one of those nature documentaries where the mama lion is teaching her cubs how to hunt, and they're just slowly toying with their prey
This kind of back and forth really makes it a nail biter. Now to see If Ding will be able to come back swinging tomorrow.
Wow. Levy’s ability to break these games down is incredible. Appreciate you 🙏🏻

I also agree this championship should be played much sooner to avoid so much prep. It's smart because it's allowed but the style of memorizing 50 moves to gain a time advantage seems bitch. Or maybe only when nepo does it😂😂
I imagine Levy received a complaint from the hotel after screaming "THE ROOOOOOK", so that's why he's whispering in this video
Shoutout to levy for being so determined hes recording at the Backrooms
18:00 that knight sacrifice was brilliant idea 💡👏

These comments are cringe
Its called ding chilling

ok
Have you ever heard of memenade :) ¿
“Giri played Queen d7 defending the B5 pawn and he went on to lose not because of the move Queen d7 but Firouzja is a very good fashion designer “ 😂😂
Ian is skilled at chess it’s so shocking
Levy not being in his house speaks for itself
That was truly amazing game for Nepo!
"You want your opponent to just not move any more" seems a bit macabre. Although maybe true after this game.
Ian is insane fun watching these mind blowing matches!
I legit only watch Chess because of Levy. He has his way of making anything entertaining. I could probably watch him build legos and be entertained.
This match is amazing. I don't care if the best chess player in the world isn't there. The drama and the suspense has got me hooked. Now I can only wonder what's going to happen tomorrow.
I'm glad Levy's kidnapper was kind enough to give him a streaming setup so he could record this recap
Guys we have hope. Ian Nepomniachtchi is winning the championship with a phenominal rating of 279. Ian representing us underdogs let’s gooooo
Great refutation of the narrative by Nepo. After losing in game 4, he bounced back instead of crumbling like most folks where saying...
As long as nepo doesnt lose first he will unlikely to crumble
Wow, I can't believe that this dude managed to play with one of the best chess players of all time who has such an insane Elo rating!
Ding Liren is such a lucky guy.
I knew Ian won the second Levy said “Nepo has only spent 1 minute on 10 moves,” second I heard that I knew it was over for Ding
Levy’s on his last life bro. 😂😂😂
WHERE'S GAME 6 YOU 🤡
I love how levy is so tired yet still really funny "Well how do you know that? Beacuse I said so and you shuld listen to me"
Hurry up with the 6th game pls
This is what it looks like when Nepo gets to play in a championship match against someone who isn't running a cellular based biological AI.
Hoping for Ding to make a comeback again
Full terminator…….. move the king sideways love it
Hey Levy, just messeging to tell you that i love the content, keep it up you legend! you are the funniest man in the chess scene by FAR and your videos are so much more interesting to watch then anyone elses on youtube.
Ah yes, Ian “ruthless” nepomniachtich
So he just broke into someone’s house and filmed a video?
"knight on d5 is a god" - Levy
You slow
I think that this is the most important advantage you get at the highest level with the White pieces because you can prepare 10 engine lines and study them for the opening that you are going to play.
Levy has been staring at the camera since that DingLondon win. That's why he's a bit late for game 6's upload
lol
"That is a closed position cuz I just told you and should listen to me" said Levy to his peasants.
With a 279 rating, Ian should be featured in GTE where Levy would guess 2500 points off and then go on for the entire stream saying "Nooooooooo"
this man made me break into laughter with a fashion designer quip in a serious chess match recap
