    The thing that I love the most about Levy’s recaps is that he truly makes the game understandable to us 1200’s.
    Listening live to Hess and Fabi’s commentary it was difficult for me to wrap my head around the ideas at hand.
    Informative and entertaining but most importantly easy to follow recaps are why I love GothamChess.
    Keep up the great work Levy!

      @fakhriasyraf1 3 года назад +11

      I do learn alot from 5 hours of watching Fabi and Hess. I do end up knowing way more than i would just watching levy. But levy does occasionally bring up things not mentioned in particular broadcasts like comments by anish and anand's recall of the transposition. Plus levy is very exciting to watch. When i saw the magnus king move in the live broadcast i just knew levy's reaction would be so good.

    Levy, you are the best chess youtuber because:
    1. You demonstrate chess is fun.
    2. Your analysis is deep enough to keep things interesting.
    3. You don't get lost into boring variations.
    4. You (at least try to) pronounce most foreign names correctly. Except for Maroczy because of the Hungarian spelling. In Hungarian the CZ is like the English TS in Itsy Bitsy Spider ‒ so, it's Marotsy.

    Levy your explanations are fantastic. Better than the live commentaries in explaining the game and the strategies being considered.

      @kelthor167 3 года назад +1

      Don't think that's a great idea. Computer evaluations often give you an idea what happens with perfect play but humans evaluate those kind of complex positions VERY differently. Only need to watch any of the broadcasts with top grandmasters that don't look much at the computer during the game and you'll hear many different possible variations that could be good or ok where the computer just laughs in your face.
      It would be similar with this kind of commentary video. Levy could tell you how gangster a move is and you'd see the evaluation bar go down 0.5 and you'd think "Levy that's stupid it's obviously bad , computer says so." It's imo a lot more enjoyable to watch these recaps without evals even knowing what they said during the game.
      If you want to see the computer evaluations for yourself just look at them on your own on any of the countless chess websites.

    So far Levi’s sold me that these 2 draws are pretty exciting. If we’re here this time next week though and nobody’s scored a win (preferably Nepo•), it’ll be harder to stay as interested.
    (• not rooting either way - especially for the worst man-bun this side of Gareth Bale - but if Magnus gets ahead by more than a game it’s probably over.)
