05:35 Here from Nepal, brother! Yeti is a mythical creature said to lurk/terrorise the snowy mountains of the Himalayas; mythical because people have reported to have seen it, but never have there been any evidence. Hence, Nepal. Tibet would have made more sense, but that would require Tibet to have their own flag instead of the Chinese flag. Nepal is thence, in Himalaya region majority, more closely associated, I believe. Would have loved to see a stronger bot from Nepal, but it is what it is. It's the christmas holidays bot, not something celebrated here. I've been watching you for a couple of months now, because that's when I started playing chess. Started at 800 elo, and now, consistent 900-950 rapid elo range. Too much of a frustrating game, this chess is. Love your content and commentaries. Rooting for you to achieve that GM title! 🇳🇵
@sandraviknander4783 - me too! I can usually beat a 1400 bot - sometimes a 1500/1600 one but I thought I'd have a go at Holly (even though she's 1800) because the 1200 one is a bit too easy, but nope she's a tricky one. I wont give up though.
Yeti is from Nepal because it is a mythical creature that is believed to reside in the Himalaya mountains so that definitely makes sense. For those who played Far Cry 4 know what I mean.
We need Levy to be a GM, he's an amazing teacher, and explains things a normal person wouldn't understand. I also suck at chess, but after every video I watch, I get better. GO LEVY GO!
The evil penguin is from the Ardman Animation Wallace and Gromit film "The Wrong Trousers" where the villain is a penguin. If you don't know it you are missing out.

“why is the yeti Nepalese” clearly someone spends too much time playing chess and not enough time in cryptozoology . Pick up your crossbow my boy we’re going squatch huntin’
Hello Gotham! I’m one of your uncommon female users from Canada who started watching in 2021/2022. I started playing chess in 2017 with my friend at the time and I learnt the Roy Lopez, one line of the Sicilian, and some checkmate patterns. That friend later ended up sexually assaulting me which caused me to quit chess for a while. Your channel, along with AlphaZero the chess neural network, brought me back to chess. I started playing d4 openings to distance myself from my past and the Sicilian (his favourite opening) and I bought your book and your caro kann course (I’m a few chapters in). Here I am, in 2024, in a completely different stage of life where I have a house, a job doing something I love (coding), and a girlfriend who I brought the love of chess to. Thank you for your content, you brought back my love of chess and to some extent, my love of life. Still now when I’m dealing with a difficult situation, I’ll play your videos in the background because they calm me down.
"I don´t even like the holidays" This is what chess does to you, folks. Resist the temptation! You might tell yourself "It´s just one more game, how much harm can it do" but each move will erode your confidence, self esteem and ultimately take every ounce of joy you have in life
5:36 Yes Levy...I am from Nepal and watch you from 2021🙏...I actually am commenting from my mom's acc cuz my phone is dead or smth...😢 Anyways, you have been a great source of inspiration for me.

There is a species of penguin called the Galapagos Penguin. The Galapagos Islands belong to Ecuador.
Context?
Edit: nvm lol
@@Joseph-iw2vg Why is the penguin from Ecuador? LOL
Came here to suggest the same. It seems plausible.
"The prophecy has fortold of your arrival" is actually so cold, even tho it's basically him saying "i knew it"
maybe evil santa GIFTS you a free pawn but then proceeds to demolish you or something, and that like the bot's deal? idk hahaha
he’s technically a santa, so that’s his gift to the players. Doesn’t change the fact that he will obliterate you though.
Yeti is harder than Sinta, because he is cute and you dont want him loose.
Also pinguins also live in Galapagos; Equador.
Not the penguin from the picture, that is clearly the standard emperor penguin visiting his cousins down in the Galapagos.
@@simondewitt7161 Well, he's behaving like an emperor.

I think the idea was to trade knights on c6 and play something similar to a Stafford
