Yeah, if Levy can overcome the mentality, he can absolutely do wonders. I think that's also one of the challenges every chess player has, and iirc even Hikaru said that Levy has the potential, but his (Levy's) mentality is holding him back.
This is great actually, it shows *exactly* why Levy turns off his opponent's name. Hans is very much focused on who he's playing, while Levy is very focused on what he's playing.
I'm tired of people making fun of Levy and his skills at chess. He's on the road to become a GM. And if you're on that road you're supposed to be good enough to beat other GM's. And Levy is a strong enough player to do so.
@@HelsenbergFan yeah but it's an achievement still. Hans also a has a thousand more games and more experience than levy. To state that "this is a blitz game" changes nothing to the fact that Hans, in every way, was statistically the better of the two and still lost to levy. Adding more time would not have changed much for either player.
@@undeniablySomeGuyI’m not a fan of Niemann because of his behavior but it does make me wonder how much better he could be if he got out of his own way. But given his verbalized internal dialogue, it does make a lot of sense why someone who thinks this way would cheat. He did it to get the wins that he “knows” that he “deserves”.
@LuisManuelLealDias Well yeah because it's Titled Tuesday, and he can be pit up against GMs, IMs, FMs, etc and nobody else lmao. It's not like some random good player shows up often - since the requirement for being in Titled, is actually having a FIDE title
It didn't have to be the most embarrassing moment of his life. He could have gone into it with respect for a skilled opponent, and then congratulated said opponent for an amazing game, punching above his weight class. But nope, he feeds off his own ego, so when that's broken, he starves.
Agreed. He keeps talking in this clip about, "my career is over," "I'll never be able to live this down," etc. but the fact he's even making those comments, in addition to the arrogance he showed at the beginning regarding losing to "prodigy Levy," makes the whole situation look 10x worse for him than it otherwise would have. Hans and Levy are very similar. They're both their own worst enemy, just in different contexts. For Levy, it's his nerves against elite people and how it affects his performance. For Hans, it's his ego and how it affects his reputation.
Levy : "Who did I beat"...... speechless for few minutes 😂😂 OH... eval bar is edited into it. Nice. I didn't see that in other channels. I'm subscribing 💪💪
Maybe, but maybe not. Certainly Hans winning would have been a lot more probable. But its not like Levy got the win for free. Re7 and Qe4 were exellent finds.
Very nice, the side-by-side of the streams adds a bunch of context to the games, and I appreciated the additional X conversation to further illuminate the point. New sub.
One line by Hans said everything “My arrogance has gotten the better of me”. He’s just an overly arrogant player who thinks himself better than everyone else and when he loses to someone like Levy, who is taking this much more seriously than him, his ego just crumbles.
Maybe he needed the break. Levy is a great guy and has the potential to be a gm, but the pressure to live up to is immense and it's better to know when to rest and start again than to burn out
@@HiFisch94 I think he mentioned why he stoped/break in an interview once. He stated that he wish he never did but I think his break benefited him to becoming the best Chess announcer over all the rest.
What i love about this match is that it really shows how much does a entering with a good mentality can help you in this game. Hans is better, but he had the whole mental handicap. He had so much more to loose but he HAD to be cocky. Levy was just vibing, not even knowing who he was against. If Levy knew, he probably WOULD have choked, like Hans said. If Hans didn't knew, who he was against he would had much better chances.
That is not how it works. Magnus went and made the speed chess championship look easy. Hans has yet to beat Hikaru. Their all great players but Magnus is on another level
@992ras I keep thinking what is the reason as to why people don't get jokes, and in this specific situation makes me think you may either not be entirely familiar with the power scaling fallacy, not be in social groups where joking about power scaling is common, or are in social groups with too many people who unironically power scale
i like how when Levy plays in tournament where he knows his opponent he stresses every move over thinks everything and fails, but when he doesnt know who he is playing he's relaxed confident and plays very solidly and then beats a grandmaster who has beat Magnus and Hikaru.
I'm starting to believe it's literally Hans Niemann's own ego that fueled him to the highest stage of competition, which... works for him I guess. But it's certainly not easy for chess audiences. Like if you think about it, he indeed takes loses personally...
Hans: "He is a generational talent..." Me: Oh wow, that's actually pretty cool of him to say that, I mean that is a lot of respect for Levy. Hans: "*Laughs* Okay lets be serious now" Me: oh, why did I expect any non-douche behavior from this guy
@@OplifeV2 That's a completely ridiculous approach though. Basing a title like GM on a single game, nevermind the fact that you earn the title in classical OTB results and this was a 3-minute online game. It would make a total mockery of the title.
Hans constantly talking about ohhh "Levy must be panicking" and "he's thinking about the RUclips click bait" is so hilarious when Levy had no idea who he was playing 😂😂
Hans might have won if he hadn't been yapping the entire game and focused instead, but we will never know. He was like a complete emotional wreck even before the game started and theough the entire thing.
just became a member of your VIP group, and I can already tell that it's going to be a game-changer for me. Thank you for all the incredible resources and guidance!
Everyone's shitting on Hans too much for being weird throughout the game. Cut him some slack here! He said he is nervous, and people get nervous Try to put yourselves in Hans' shoes. Wouldn't you be nervous if a buzzing phone was going off in your rear pocket for the entire game? Man, that's nerve wracking-I'd shit my pants
I don't follow competitive chess that closely, I only just discovered Niemann today, but what I'm getting so far is that he's a very good player who thinks he's amazing, and never learns not to brag that he's gonna win, despite playing some of the best. It's been fascinating and satisfying to watch.
It is fascinating how much comparison can affect your performance even in high level games such as chess. Levy had self confidence issues with his chess skills, and he most likely would have panicked and lost if he knew he was facing Hans. On the other hand, Hans might have won if he had the name hiding extension to not constantly feed his ego against people he deems as worse players. There have been similar examples of this happening in other places, but this video with the given context is the clearest example of mindgames severely affecting performance. If both sides didn't stream their commentary we would have never been able to understand how Levy was able to beat Hans.
Hans knew he was playing Levy and psyched himself out about embarrassment of losing while Levy had huge advantage of not knowing who he was playing…that was enough….lol.
Hans needed this (and many more) humblings. If the guy ever grows up he'll be a fine part of chess but it'll take years of humbling and playing honestly to get there.
Hans:
"He is shitting himself right now" to "Who the fck am i playing" LOL

Yeah, if Levy can overcome the mentality, he can absolutely do wonders. I think that's also one of the challenges every chess player has, and iirc even Hikaru said that Levy has the potential, but his (Levy's) mentality is holding him back.
