This is not allowed!! You are ruining people's parasocial relationships with streamers where they can only like streamers they watch/donate to! But yeah, I like them all too along with the chess brah guys and most others.
Yo Levy, I started out as an 800 watching your channel and while I agree that your content starts to be lacking after a certain point, I only got to 1500 and started to benefit from the sensei's content thanks to your videos... ALL OF THEM (Guess the ELO is surprisingly helpful). I'm also still here, no need to choose... keep it up!!!
I mean, obviously you are gonna learn less the stronger you are with any RUclips channel, doesn't matter if it's GM talks or powerplay chess. We come because we enjoy the content
"its losing when youre playing agaisnt a speed demon" 27:45 ggs Levy, I respect your respect of Danya. Im always underestimating the psychological component of chess
Levy is like a bird that got caught by a cat, and this video is like, "now see here I could have flown away" "in this position I'm actually winning if I peck his eyes out" "there's a crazy engine line here where I'm actually trapping him up the tree" and I love it
"The 2600 kicked in!" SGMs are virtually untouchable by mere mortals. Levy said it all: SGMs hit in all three phases of the game. Most importantly, they immediately punish inaccuracies. Great episode giving us some insight into what makes them so good. Thanks for the hard work!!
@@Stefan-ih9kd maybe not, but he plays in the same tournaments as them and is just below their level. he recently beat fabi in an over the board tournament
@@aoe2sfgt184 and it was massive news because he is very far from his level. The following results from Fabi also showed he has heavily out of form. Danya is an incredible play, but not close to the SGMs
Fantastic results. Holding your own as well as you did is a huge achievement. Given your comments like “I was terrified and when I’m terrified I miss things”, I really wonder what these games would have looked like if you were totally unaware of who you were playing. Clearly you would recognize early that your opponent was very good but if you didn’t know how good it’s possible you would have an even better outcome. It would be so great if somehow you could play a game against Danya where you didn’t know it was him.
But if Danya doesn’t know it’s Levy, then he’d assume an equal strength opponent as soon as he knows he’s good, at which point Danya would play much more accurately.
My two favorite chesstubers. I think Levy is genuinely entertaining, a good teacher and makes great content. Danya is an astonishly amazing chess coach / teacher and is unparalleled on youtube.
Very nice games and commentary! Great job on drawing one game! The Sensei truly is a beast! Also loved that intro, very humble. Time to make more chess gains!!
I love the way chess teachers like Levy always say 'get the rooks top the centre' its so true. Cant play tactics to save my life but the roopjs are crushing in the middle game. Love your content Levy. Have learnt a lot from you.
This was great to see. I love to see your games against better players. I think it makes you play better and become more confident. I hope to one day see you do this with longer time controls.
15:30 "it was good while it wasn't" Accidentally a great description for just about anything these days. I don't know what changed but videos now have more positive energy, i really enjoy it. Maybe the dog therapy helps.
500 Elo's is A LOT MORE difference in higher levels than people think, Shout out to Levi for even competing Daniel and making these games equal for a large amount of time ❤️
That was great. I really enjoy both of your content. It would be interesting to see a match where Danya was playing anonymously as a lower rated player. I wonder if the outcome would be any different. Of course I realize the difference in ELO is real and substantial, but how much is ELO intimidation also a factor (the way Magnus intimidation is probably a factor with high level GM’s). Not just for Gotham but generally. I could see something like a “Guess the ELO” of your opponent while playing them being a fun series.
there is levels to this. i remember watching Alireza beating danya 10-0. even at gm level its crazy how much danya has to improve to compete with the likes of hikaru and magnus. nonetheless he is an amazing teacher. and gotham is just a babes. two legends and good teachers.
I absolutely watch both of you. In fact you are the only 2 creators I watch basically every video of. Great content, great teaching and instruction. Maybe trying to do a guess the elo or a sub battle with the Sensei would be fun?
Two of my favourite chess RUclipsrs! I got into Naroditsky later but his stuff is amazing. Simon Williams is also great. And of course, you're all way beyond most of us mortals. Interesting seeing an IM struggling against a super GM and how it becomes quite psychological as well.
Very nice match!!! True sportsmanship of Danya in the last draw. Prob he was like: you deserved to win, but got nervous in tine scramble, its unfair to flag you, lets draw.
I love both of your channels, but for different reasons. Danya is extremely instructive and a supremely gifted teacher, whereas your channel is more fun and lighthearted and you cover a much wider range of content. There is definitely a ton to love about both channels, and I can't see liking one detracting from the other.
It would be fascinating to see a blitz tourney where the players' identities and ratings are completely hidden from each other. I wonder if the results would be any different, when there's no fear factor from the lower or mid-rated players
Playing against better players, and losing is the best way to improve...especially if you are pushing at your best and you then analyze where and why you lost. Noriditsky was doing you a gracious in terms of chess........and you were giving him free advertising/exposure for his own channel. A wonderful exchange between friends.
Gotham: Some folks like to say, despite me being the largest channel- Me: Huh? You don't have the largest... [looks at sub count] Me: ... Wait... What?
Hikaru had a point when he spoke on levy becoming a GM. I think of Levy plays more confidently and go after these guys, he might actually play a lot better against stronger players
@@0Tension you still quarantining 2 years into a man made plague. I hope to never be so misguided. Please go outside, it's nice, safe and hot in the souther hemisphere. Take your mask off when outdoors, outside is well ventilated
You crack me up brother! It was a win for you in my eyes also. Happy to see you making so much progress these days... Your videos are much appreciated. You've helped my intermediate playing level tremendously over the last couple of years. Much Love form Ontario.
That last game was a lot of fun. I'm curious why you guys played 3|0 though. 3|0 seems to give Daniel a pretty significant extra advantage as he's extremely good in time scrambles.
I don’t remember where I heard this quote, but it might have been during some recap on this channel. “A good player will prevent you from doing what you want. A great player will let you get everything you want, then make you look dumb for it”
Levy, my guy, you are still a beast bro! Mad appreciation for your transparency and honesty. It's refreshing! You've helped revive many chess enthusiasts and we're all growing together. Great games! Oh and Naroditsky is exceptional 👏🏽
my man is very good with words. I would probably just say: his rook bad i made good ! Levi: his rook was like a ornament on a shelf collecting dust, i transformed it into a gazelle flying into my position. ^^
Yes your content is accessible to a certain point I do you go to Naroditsky's channels for my own improvement as an advanced player ...but you're still my favorite RUclips channel that doesn't change🤗
I like how gotham in this guess the elo recaps gives advice "dont go back if u dont have to " "try make forward progress" but does exactly same mistakes in his own games.

"Stockfish is such a scumbag"
Levy's toxic relationship with Stockfish is like reality TV levels of entertaining
I can’t tell if that’s an insult or a compliment
The only two I watch. Daniel is a great teacher and shows wonderful examples.
Hanging pawns is also really cool
I believe Danya was #1 in the nation for his age group when Levy was #2.

@@NavoTheTrueGod then he went to college instead of focusing exclusively on chess. a bit of a shame, but you can't blame him
