True, but it also seemed a bit like he kept saying "I considered this move" for every time there was a better move to be made - if he considered it, why didn't he play it? It feels like he lacks the humility to sometimes say "I didn't play the best move, but I played a good sequence regardless"
@@jasperray6576 I mean, at that level you take into consideration many moves, and with all probability most of the times the best move is among them. The real difficulty it's not finding the move (unless it's a particular complicated move or situation, like a puzzle or something) but determining which one among the moves you considered is the best. It's pretty obvious that if he didn't play a move it's because he thought that there was something better, he shouldn't even explain that.
@@Matty_14No when you consider the best move in a set of different moves you actually magically know it’s the best one and will play it on the next move
@@jasperray6576 You don't have time to calculate every line all the way through, and sometimes you miscalculate or misevaluate the end position even when you consider the best move.

@@herlingaaland well I've followed Levy's Scandinavian on YT and I've gotten so good at it that I know the whole thing pretty much. Even though I'm 800 elo in rapid I've beaten a handful of players that are 100+ points higher than me, with the highest being a 947.

The best thing Levy has done for his chess is return to OTB classical. No way he would've done anything like this without starting there.
@@GMG2708why? are you saying OTB is crucial to serious chess development?

Bro speedruns every top GM in titled Tuesdays and then proceeds to loose to a random 14 year kid
are there any 14 year adults?
😆
Those random 14 year olds are brutal
Cheap, redundant shot
lmao kids are the worst people to play in chess. There's nothing to be ashamed of.
Levy never fails to impress. He cooked. 🔥🗣🗣
Mans deep fried !!
He cooked one of the best players in the world, with an opening he didn't even fully know. Levy is the Goat 💪
One day I might wake up and see, "levy makes magnus resign "
This endgame was fucking nuts, you played so fucking well with pretty much no time to think, poor caro, sicilian is the new gothamchess meta
Nah Sicilian is just a tool to get his goals, Caro Kann is the love of his life
I think Levy likes the Scandi more, i see him play that alot as black. I also love the Scandi & also the Kings Indian defense @@herlingaaland

can't wait for kramnik to freak out
You came for 8:00
Well done, Levy.
@@EddieDaleJr. I did
@@jesusthroughmary🤨
How can it not make you happy seeing how genuinely excited and shocked Levy was??
Cooking Gm cooked be kids😂
message Levy if you can figure out how to add chrome extensions to IRL tournaments.
He could just go to some low-key tournaments in Eastern Europe and pay people off to throw the games for him so he gets the GM title.
Levy’s inner Hikaru woke up suddenly😮
Those 20 seconds of silent joy.
Due to his RUclips personality and memes people forget Levy is a damn legit player
Let Levy Cook!
Ignorance is bliss really
08:06 bro literally thought what a content i got😂
It turns out that all those scrambles for time were just good blitz practice after all. Well-earned victory Levy.
Even though he just flagged him, he was still able to maintain relatively equal throughout the whole game. Good shit 👍
it was awesome seeing this in real time after your breakdown yesterday
Levy is unbeatable when he doesn't know his opponent
Another day another Thursday where Levy beats a top GM. After which he proceeds to lose to some 2600s..
Why is it so hard for people like you to be a decent human being? Are you feeling inadequate so insulting others makes you feel better about yourself. Try going for a walk.
One day Levy will play Stockfish 17 and win and imagine how much surprised he will be at the end of the game 😅
He already beat Hans
Super proud of you Levy! Lots of love from India
clicked on this solely for Levy's reaction when he finds out it's Nepo, was not disappointed at all
Levy catchin flies at the end 🤣🤣🤣👍 good job
Levy with Sicilian is equal to Magnus with Catalan
He's beginning to believe. Congrats Levy!
Cool to see the recap.
Even cooler to see the record
Can't wait for the new e6 g6 sicilian course on chessly
he shoulda played the a3 Sicilian then he woulda beaten you 😂
Who couldn't stick around for the reaction reveal! Amazing

once he’s got more of these like hans nepo etc
he won’t need the extension . CONFIDENCE LEVVY u know

MAGNESIAN ENDGAME CONVERSION
Finally changing the caro
This is why the Sicilian is goated
Now he has to make it to GM he's got no choice anymore
it's crazy ive watched his recap on his main ch, & Hikaru's & then some videos on other chess channels before he uploads this one.
You're inspiring me levy, just hitted a new peak in blitz (1309)
Thank u and keep up the hard work and the amazing content 🙏❤️
Levy is brilliant....wish I could play Him! 😃
Well deserved, go Gotham
Levy please become a grand master make your fan dreams come true
Ian did not blunder until endgame, makes levy more GM😮
If levy beats a super gm that makes him a gm right?
Not revealed opponent works for levi
also, he flagged Nepo after being down 30 seconds to 2, that's insane
When is the Sicilan course coming out? Well played! That's huge scalp for your belt
im so waiting for levy to hit GM!!!
That looks and pause be makes after beating someone who's very strong 😂😂 classical
Levy gonna be gm pretty soon
and now caro became kann
i climbed 1100 to 1500 with this opening in just 3 months. this is the best opening.
Let’s go levy let’s gooooooooo !!!!!
Gg man that teaches me nothing is impossible
Next video:
I beat Magnus with random opening
Starting at 8:05 he literally did a thumbnail face for a full minute lol
the one time i click off levy's stream early so i could watch the alireza vs magnus match, this shit happens😭😭😭😭 gg nonetheless
Wasn't taking on F3 a better move at 5:36, since the rook then would protect the pawn?
Congrats !!!
Lekker man, lekker
Beginners luck is real.
How can i do that ? Make my opponent invisible ?
bro think he magnus
Levy needs to be faster with the uploading I have already watched this from three different channels.
8:00 Let's go who did I beat? ... 😱😳😳😳😳😳🥳🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Just like the Hans video
Thats cool man!!!! Wow
bro i want to play with you please
What extension he uses?
UNDER 1 HOUR GANG! GOTHAM FOLLOWER
Very nice! Gg
So cool
New course? Congrats btw your opponents really rub off on you 😉
