This just goes to show the incredible level of chess that these guys are playing. For Ding to clutch up with 27 seconds on the clock. An absolute legend
levy does such a good job at translating such top-notch and complicated chess into exciting and contextualized commentary that is easy to follow. i watched hikarus recap first but it wasnt until i saw this did i realize how exciting the game was. keep up the good work
The anti-puzzle sounds tremendously good. For years I have been saying to everybody that knowing when there is a tactic is a huge deal and that with classic puzzles you know there is something in the position (though now that I am getting trickier ones, I often do not know how much there is in a position - earlier on it is usually mates or winning the queen). I think it will be great feature which will improve the chess skill of many people.
I love the anti-puzzle idea on Chessly. One of my biggest issues is that I often try to find tactics that don't exist, so a puzzle game that trains you to spot if whether or not there are tactics is amazing.
Levy is legitimately a natural at commentary and chess explanations. There is no way 3 people would've understood if it wasn't for him, and he managed to explain it to 300K. It's just as impressive to see him do what he does best, as seeing Ding and Nepo battle it out at what they do best. Clutch, kudos.
Chess is painful. You suffer all sorts of emotions. You have great chess knowledge. You have great starts in games. Then you suffer an emotional crisis. How can one control one's emotions?
Levy, if you see this. Make. These. Longer. I'm stupid. I wish I understood, but I don't. I like when u go into long lines or threats. I don't understand why moves are made in real time. I love the analysis of every move. Having these recaps being at least 30 minutes would make the day go by so much faster. Love these so much.
It must feel so underwhelming for the winning player to know that the only reason he won the championship is because Magnus decided to not participate. It almost feels like there is no point in winning the championship unless its against Magnus
I can not believe Levy played in the World Chess Championship and won against Magnus Carlsen AND got declared a Grandmaster afterwords. Then he said "Its Lev'in time" and Lev'ed everywhere
It's sad to know that FIDE advertising for a tournament like World Championship is so poor that most of us have to rely on content creators like Levy to know about them
Nepo is on fire during candidate.even hikaru get 2nd place in the candidate.magnus not gonna let hikaru play on world champion.magnus gonna defend his title
As someone who knows very little about chess, your recaps makes high level chess very digestible. They make me want to learn more about chess and become a better player myself looking forward to watching the rest of the series!
hi levy. i tried the Anti-Puzzle and i really liked it, could you maybe add that after you complete a module you will be able to analyze it? (not talking about when you are wrong when doing the Anti-Puzzle...)
By watching chess here I have learned that everytime a GrandMaster does a unique and uncommon move, I "really just shouldn't" try to apply a similar tactic, because I am a beginner, and I will probably just do a trade that will not be good for me and will screw myself over.
Levy, you’re charismatic as hell. The storytelling in this video was awesome - you convinced me, a guy who’s never played chess, that this draw was something spectacular. Not only that, but you explained it in a way that made some super-complex high-level thinking accessible and exciting. Not just telling us that they’re geniuses, but showing us how. I’m now stoked to see how the rest of the games pan out, because no matter what, it’ll be fun to hear the analysis.
The puzzles where there may or may not be a tactic are GENIUS. You might also think about adding puzzles where there may or may not be a long mate on the board.
Even tho there was no sacrifices this video, whenever I hear Levy scream whatever piece is getting sacrificed, it gives me more chills that hearing Goku going SSB Kaioken 20X
I haven't really been keeping up with the content, mostly fell off of chess, but I knew this was my go-to place for coverage over the championship. Hell, I'm waiting until you post the post-game video to even find out what happened in the game, makes it more enjoyable.
Levy makes the best and the most hilariously interesting chess content. I have been playing chess for a while but he got me into it more than anyone ever.
That’s actually a really great idea, for the anti-puzzles, helps your eyes find tactics and combinations. Cool stuff, I’m gonna actually go to your site more now
With that positional brilliance with the knight to counter the queen capture is just astonishing. I heard Anish talk about it as well in their live stream.
Thank you, Levy. For reminding me how awesome it was back in the day when you come home from school and the first thing you're gonna do is to immediately turn on the TV and watch Yugi disintegrating his pathetic opponents.
Add an option to reverse opponent's last move in anti-puzzle. I caught myself sometimes missing if capture was just a pawn or a piece. And yes, counting material doesnt always help
The first world chess championship I chose to follow. I like the sound of Levy's voice and he's here to make sure I don't miss anything cool on the board. Thanks! I'll keep watching.
i just bought your course and i dont rly get the quizzez cause i dont understand the questions but other than that its great, i just finished the first chapter and it really helped my problem of "me see piece me take piece"

😂😂
I love the anti-puzzle idea on Chessly. One of my biggest issues is that I often try to find tactics that don't exist, so a puzzle game that trains you to spot if whether or not there are tactics is amazing.
Not only Magnus is missing from the World Chess Championship recap but also Levi's stare, what a timeline we live in
😢

He missed the stare for ONE video, chill
@@justamir5 One blunder can loose an entire game ;DD
How do I watch the games live?
The collab between ding liren and the defense game on chessly plus has been a game changer
Didn't expect to see you here
@@kzkaa. i am everywhere
I just realized…the person who dethroned Magnus….was Magnus himself. Absolute madlad and a Gigachad
Bruh
glug glug
On the one hand I want to see some Magnus matches on the other hand now we have a World Championship without knowing who will win it beforehand
@@karstencarsten9964 personally I thought Ian was gonna prob win beforehand but y’know, it’s not as certain as with MAGNUS.
That actually was drunk Magnus, 2nd player in the world
Since the start of game 1 I had high hopes for Ding because his defence skill is amazing and highly underrated in my opinion
Levy is legitimately a natural at commentary and chess explanations. There is no way 3 people would've understood if it wasn't for him, and he managed to explain it to 300K. It's just as impressive to see him do what he does best, as seeing Ding and Nepo battle it out at what they do best. Clutch, kudos.
Nepo, being inspired by Levy, now also stares at us
I have to say, I think the "anti-puzzle" is genius and revolutionary when it comes to internet chess training. Thanks, Gotham Team!
Levi's ability to make any game extremely entertaining is incredible
Levy's
Chess is painful. You suffer all sorts of emotions. You have great chess knowledge. You have great starts in games. Then you suffer an emotional crisis. How can one control one's emotions?
I've been hyped about Ding ever since he had problems with online tournament due to time zones
I wish him to win
Instead of anti-berlin it should just be called the berlin wall
Watching the world championship game live and not seeing Magnus’ name was weird.
Levy, if you see this. Make. These. Longer. I'm stupid. I wish I understood, but I don't. I like when u go into long lines or threats. I don't understand why moves are made in real time. I love the analysis of every move. Having these recaps being at least 30 minutes would make the day go by so much faster. Love these so much.
Imagine if they draw all 14 games and have a boxing match to decide who's the winner 🏆

After seeing Ian’s defeat in 2021 I didn’t think he would have it in him mentally but I’m glad he came back for this one
He was just nervous last year and made dumb mistakes
yeah, that's the Russian power
Puzzles, where it is not guaranteed that they have a solution, is an incredible idea
You have managed to make this boring draw not boring for me. I watched it live, but this video was way more exciting. Thank you!

So glad I get to watch this entertaining recap, instead of 7 hrs of fighting for a draw.
Anti Puzzle sounds extremely, extremely helpful.
Because the first step to finding a tactic is actually knowing if there is one or not.

Levy nails another recap! Thanks for the chess championship recaps; my favorite of his series
A gm could blunder or make a brilliant move and i would not be able to tell the difference as a 450 elo player
"Ding castles his king" Thats a keeper
