Man Hikaru really is actually trying to support Levy, his advice seems to be really in good nature. Hopefully Levy can rebound and continue pushing through.
This is why y'all are stuck at 800 ELO, you spend hours watching these guys and instead of talking about the chess you make these trite and unfunny comments. Hope these are all children with these comments smh
I wrote this as a reply to someone else's comment, but I feel it should be stated to the larger community: This is for anyone that believes this is genuinely "horrible" play from levy: honestly him playing "horribly" is genuinely not that bad. Horrible is like what we do. His only real real bad blunder was putting the queen in front of the pawn. Of course missing queen to h file is an oversight, but when you are in your own head, that is not so easy to play. And quite frankly it's a dank move, that you probably need to be at LEAST levy's level or stronger to even consider let alone calculate how to actually apply the idea with all the permutations and responses. (Without an engine). That being said, even queen in front of the pawn isn't "horrible" reasoning from his recap. Obviously the next few moves is forced in hindsight, but the position was already rough. "Attacking the pawn" trying to be desperado makes sense. I think it's just unfortunate that this particular "get aggressive" move loses immediately. Which if he had more time and wasn't in his head from the previous rounds, he 100% is strong enough to see. I'll just end with, we would have lost with both colors. I can at least speak for myself that as an 1800 rated player I would have lost with both colors from every position this game (obviously until the end where black is hopeless). it is obvious that levy isn't playing the best we've seen him play, but the mistakes he has made in this tournament aren't "horrible". They are not unreasonable mistakes to make. It's just his mental after drawing and losing that makes him second guess himself. Obviously a GM has enough experience to not consider certain moves, but he is just not there yet. And that's okay. It's games like this where he will likely never consider putting a Queen to blockade a pawn ever again lmao. I hope he rebounds and plays the exceptional chess that weve already seen him perform at time and time again online. If he can get out of his head and transfer those skills to OTB he can certainly become a GM one day. Stay safe out there all, thanks for reading!
I am an old man. Years ago Hikaru, for me, was just a young guy that could not handle adversity. Today he is acting as an honest and down to earth guy. I think Hikaru should participate more in the training of younger players. His opinions are very well-summrized and he has a practical approach to the game.
Also it's quite obvious he's not gm strength. Chess ain't a game where you luckily achieve something that significant, just needs to tell himself the truth. He's an incredibly strong player though
I think he is GM material in skill, but he keeps tripping over himself. He gets very nervous in time scrambles, and probably watches social media too much. I think if he wants to be GM, he needs break from his channel. But he beats GMs a lot online, so the skill is there.
He is rooting for Levy but also realistic in his professional assessment that Levy's chances aren't great. Hikaru's main point was he didn't think Levy would be able to get to 2500 elo but he stated he believes Levy has GM level understanding of the game. Unfortunately, Levy hasn't proven Hikaru wrong so far. He is obviously prepping super hard with his coach and we see him improving massively in his online games, but he's really struggling mentally over the board. You can tell every game Levy is feeling the pressure of the moment since the whole chess world is rooting for him. I think at this point he needs a sports psychologist or something he is really struggling mentally
Good luck Levy. I really hope Levy can make it because he's more of the "hard work can reach it" mixed in with "doubting yourself leads to loses" guy. Where as Hikaru is the mix of hard work and pure unbridled chess genius, which is why I enjoy both of your channels.
Thanks for the recap HIkaru and spending your time streaming the games. It was a good time watching, hoping for Levy to get a miracle together and your explanations actually help me understand ideas behind the moves.
This was a really educational video. It covered a large range of situations, from the instability of the pieces around the black king, to the powerful guard imposed by the white horse on the upper left side of the board. In fact, I was introduced to modern chess game after watching at the dynamic comments and videos of Levy. I could comment Levy needs to go a little deeper into an aggressive mode of the game. It looks clear to me, now and after the comments of master Hikaru, that distractions are just so near that in a matter of milliseconds Levy was stuck in kind of LaBrea Ranch at the board. Thank you, master Hikaru, for such an intructive video, and the lesson about players etiquette.
@thechosenone2163 Very true and he has moments of brilliance. They highlight his latent potential, however he has to study incredibly hard to get there.
Levy keeps worrying too much about what his opponent is doing rather than what he can do. Yes, you have to do that, but getting that balance right appears to be a work in progress for him. Nice recap, Hikaru. 👍
I found the first video, like Hikaru commentated a friend's game, and I commented that under his post... this video , I'm about to see, it is the loosing feel, everyone, say anything and he is the enemy.
It seems like the GM standards are just barely out of Levy's reach. No wonder he felt bad about not being one over the years, it's too taunting and tantalizing
Didn't really understand the comments from Levy about these recaps. I don't really ever see them as "roasting". There may be toxic commenters who are watching these and being nasty, but any criticism coming from Hikaru in the actual videos is about the game not about Levy as a person.
as a retiree i recently took up chess. levy’s rating is easily a couple thousand or so points above mine. i suck at chess, pure & simple. but i’ve become such a fan of the game, its history & the current players, at all levels. there were the opportunities on the h file that hikaru started discussing at around three minutes into this post that were already obvious to me. in part, because i’ve been brutalized by similar approaches. i paused the video, yep, there’s no way his opponent can muster a sufficient defense to this immediate attack. i’ve purchased four chess books so far: peter dogger’s the chess revolution, two books on the art & design of chess sets (masterworks: rare & beautiful chess sets of the world & master pieces, the architecture of chess, heck, i’m an artist & not a competitive player) & levy’s book, the deluxe spiral bound edition. i do not have even the doubt regarding the knowledge & expertise that is obvious in the first three of these…..
@ i absolutely agree with ypu. i view naka’s skills at both playing the game at the most granular level & his ability to communicate that to the general public , along with his revolutionary approach to rewriting what a career in chess can be, his honesty, integrity & of course, chess skills he has earned through decades of daily study, fueled by an intelligent curiosity & personal drive: i am & will remain in awe at one of the very few greatest chess players of all time. his successes have enriched my life & I never even heard mention of him, or magnus, vishi, levon, gukesh
Ok, I saw this one, I believe Hikaru still tries to find something to be of a good nature, and about the game, I'm not that good but... I know something, on life and competitions that made me a good competitor(various fields) in two aspects... The thing is you make a plan and you go for the plan, why?! because games are about fun, so Lavi here had a plan, if he just gone with his plan, first, if then he lost or won he would got to strengthen this particular plan, second, if he won it was much more fun, than if he won because of some blunder of his opponent, now... I look at Nepos games and all he is doing is this ... he strengthens his plans, he has fun playing, plays to be better, not wining...and I think because of that aging wouldn't get to him.
I mean, he's just getting cooked. These games aren't even close. And the players he's losing to are 100-200 elo below him. All three games, he's tunnel visioning on some arbitrary plan instead of looking at the whole situation holistically.
Hikaru: non stop top tier chess analysis RUclips plebs: He's milking the milker! If you're not watching for the chess maybe reality TV is better suited for you
Hikaru told Levy to expand his opening repertoire and Levy explicitly mentioned how he's not going to do that. Hikaru is better than any coach Levy has ever had but Levy was pretty disrespectful in his response to Hikaru, saying "some people think I shouldn't only play the Caro Kann...". Hikaru also told Levy to manage his time better and Levy sucks at that and didn't change. Hikaru has only spoken the truth and Levy hasn't respected how lucky he is to get advice from someone on Hikaru's level, which is basically the highest tier you can get in chess. Levy is not changing his OTB play and there's no way he's making GM not due to skill or knowledge but due to not focusing on the key aspects of his game, which Hikaru has pointed out many times explicitly and he remains right about everything he's said to this day
Levy played a different opening in game 1. The tournament where Hikaru said to do that, Levy wasn't going to change because that wasn't what he prepped. He's been experimenting recently He also fully admits that he has time trouble. It's not something you "just change". That's one of the most difficult skills to master But sure, keep pretending that he doesn't respect Hikaru for the sake of drama
@Themegakender The difference is most GMs prepare up to 15 lines in openings and you can see here he hasn't by his early time management alone. Why is the chess community so sensitive?
ngl I agree, but then I also think a lot of people make it into higher tiers than they really should be, due to iedetic memory of opening sequences and just spam them, but blunder themselves to death when taken out of their known theory. Basically, seems like Levy is in a similar boat; but I still respect the f out of his expertise and grind when commentating and evaluating.
@@Themegakender Levy and Hikaru have done lots of different things together, I'm not making this about drama. its about subtext. Levy did not accept the advice openly on his videos. That's the point. It's ego or sensitivity, I'm not sure. Of course you can address time management. Hikaru's advice if you pay attention is not just about chess moves. He's constantly harping on the importance of time management and the meta of the game, like the difference between blitz with/without increment. Time management at the highest level is almost as important as the moves you make. How can you say that can't be changed? It's impossible for Levy to play an intuitive move in one game instead of calculating? That's nonsense. He's stubborn and stuck in his ways. Of course you can change that as a chess player that's what coaches are for.
I think when you said (in your live stream) that you don’t think levy will be a GM it really demotivated him which was probably the reason for his comments in his second recap
I have no sympathy for Levy here. If you’ve watched him cover lower rated games he’s always extremely condescending and constantly mocks the players’ blunders. But now that someone higher rated than him is critiquing his play he’s choosing to play the victim. It’s very hypocritical.
@@aavarela64 I understand your point but levy has always stated that if you submit your games for him to review he will make fun of the blunders and people still choose to submit, but in this case when a GM that is also your friend says that he doesn’t believe in you it would demotivate any person, I don’t think he would have cared as much if any other GM had said this.
@@aavarela64I think there's a big difference between making fun of people who submit their own games to be made fun of (like in guess the elo) and making fun of people who make mistakes / lose in a tournament setting
@aavarela64 But those people voluntarily submit their games for the content, also their games are just blitz or rapid games and not professional classical games like levy's which are more serious and meaningful to him.
@@aavarela64 He does that to random nameless people who send in their games so that he can literally make fun of them during guess the elo. He has never been condescending to actual people or to opponents or literally anyone who has an actual identity beyond "gotham sub" or "random noob". It's not even remotely the same thing. Hikaru is just a mean and vindictive person who's mad at the world because he happened to have a career during the same time Magnus happened to be alive.
I mean levy played bad chess for his abillity im nkt surprised you roasted him, i know you want levi to do well i rearly think he deservs to make gm i just hope he sticks at it an dosnt let a few bad games detear him
So, as far as the copyrights to Sony (I found this out with the original PS1) the corrupt data that gets implemented on the original memory card it was a flaw to the design. The computer tried to reformat itself. They built the construct with the hopes of creating the modern miniature satellite. How is this relevant to Chess and the current timeline ? Well........when things try reformat themselves with a flawed design to encrypted data and gets overlapped with code and/or coding. I am sorry, but the threshold of conduits and programming literally become its own stalemate of no longer allowing the traffic of signals to take place. It's like literally overloading a terminal. Checkmate. The 5 time World Chess Champion in Rapid time control zones literally had the WAVE. Far out frequency dude! (SUBSCRIBE)
@@elvingonzalez6273 It's the concept to some of the A.I. that still around in the context of code that is being used today. Never forget where you come from. Especially when you have been programmed.
@@elvingonzalez6273Not only was this self explanatory due to how they patented their products under the schematic of each individual item. I am certain you could figure this out without looking down on someone's intelligence that processes at a rate that surpasses your's.
🤔Isn’t it painfully ironic that Levy deliberately chose to place himself front and centre in the limelight, only to whinge like a child when the inevitable happens-attention, including the negative kind? His immaturity and blatant lack of self-awareness are honestly baffling.
🤔Isn't it weird that you came to this conclusion without reason, while he's trying his best, and reviewing his games, even when they end in loss? Sometimes people do their best, and still lose. The important thing is not to let it bring you down, and Levy is certainly not showing cowardice. He needs more confidence in his OTB games, true, but no need for such harsh evaluations. He's taking it like a champ, whether or not he succeeds.
@igrutinovicana You’re replying without grasping a word of what I’ve said. The painful irony of Levy’s "situation" is impossible to ignore. As Hikaru rightly points out, if social media is causing him such distress, the obvious solution would be to step away. But Levy can’t-because his entire identity and financial success are built around his online persona. It seems he knows nothing beyond the world of social media he refuses to detach from.
@@OvercookedOctopusFeetTo me, it seems like an obvious "rough patch" in the road, where, of course, he's sensitive. Perhaps stepping away from social media would be best for him, I'm not denying that, I'm saying that saying those things about him is too harsh. He's trying his best, and even in the face of all of this, his words are mature. I agree he's letting it distract him, and that he's probably blind sighted by the devastation of not reaching his goals...
@OvercookedOctopusFeet Because it's his job..... He literally can't step away from social media when it's his literal job to give recaps of his games. What? If you lost/drew and felt you disappointed millions of people youd crack under the pressure for sure. for the GMs that would "easily" win from Levys positions to say negative things is one thing. Because levy can actually learn from certain forms of their critiques (though just calling him bad is not critique. He knows he lost of his own decisions. That's why you do analysis after, to learn.) But for you to say him having emotions and feeling sad that people flame him (not critique) is "whining and immature" only shows how immature you are. He is genuinely trying his best. Saying he is sad and admitting that actually shows how in tune he is with himself. That's not whining. That's just sharing that he wishes people were kinder. He understands humans enjoy making others feel bad, and he is just sharing that it does affect him.
@@bluejcube94 Before knee-jerk defending Levy, take a moment to understand what he is complaining about. Then recognise that he has deliberately cultivated the very reactionary space in which he now finds himself and has become a target. He is the instigator, the cause, and the victim of everything he previously created.
Man Hikaru really is actually trying to support Levy, his advice seems to be really in good nature. Hopefully Levy can rebound and continue pushing through.
Only in the video lol, he's ruthless in his live streams 😂
@@builderphill1361 Not true, Hikaru says the truth and that's more generous than anything coming from one of the best to ever do it
@@dg4293yeah it would be dishonest to say he’s playing at the level he needs to become GM, love Hikaru keeping it 💯
It usually is. Its always condescending, but good advice.
HIkaru is of course not geniune in these recaps. You can see his nasty true self in his live stream when he is unfiltered.
Levy the type of guy to lose his TV remote and say "If I was the TV remote, where would I be?" when looking for it.

I think Hikaru should participate more in the training of younger players. His opinions are very well-summrized and he has a practical approach to the game.
Hikaru with perfect hairstyle today.
I see you everywhere
Hikaru the goat

Levy puts social media ahead of chess and until that changes he's just chasing his tail
Also it's quite obvious he's not gm strength. Chess ain't a game where you luckily achieve something that significant, just needs to tell himself the truth. He's an incredibly strong player though
He is the toji of Jjk but still not as strong compared to kenjaku, jogo or yuta 😅
It's all just advertising for chessly 2.0
I think he is GM material in skill, but he keeps tripping over himself. He gets very nervous in time scrambles, and probably watches social media too much. I think if he wants to be GM, he needs break from his channel. But he beats GMs a lot online, so the skill is there.
@@thechosenone2163I mean he knows he isn’t gm strength. He is trying to get there. It’s called trying to get better.
Hikaru is so chill and has such immaculate vibes you normally don't see in a GM. Dude even bopped to a Katy Perry song on his live lol.
I remember the clips from years ago of Hikaru saying he doesn't think Levy has it in him to become GM. Anybody else remember that?
He also said it literally today. Just his honest opinion but he still hopes Levy proves him wrong.
He's right though, probably.
He is rooting for Levy but also realistic in his professional assessment that Levy's chances aren't great. Hikaru's main point was he didn't think Levy would be able to get to 2500 elo but he stated he believes Levy has GM level understanding of the game.

Lovely instructive analysis
Solid advices, good vibes. 🖤🤍
I have to slow Hikaru’s speed to 50% to have any hope of following his train of thought. He is that smart!
Hikaru please coach levy and turn him into a gm
Hikaru once again recapping the game before levy himself
What sucks is levy has the ability to be a gm, but his mental gets in the way (as it does with a lot of us).
False. He's just a level below unfortunately
@thechosenone2163 Very true and he has moments of brilliance. They highlight his latent potential, however he has to study incredibly hard to get there.
GMs are simply better at chess. Pumping your blitz rating by flagging opponents online doesn't improve your real strength of play.
He doesn't have it never had it. He already would be a gm if he was gm material. He just getting cooked and he got cooked in his early 20s as well.
Now hikaru is milking levy who is milking magnus 😂😂😂
You’re so original. Aren’t you special
What's next, Magnus milking Hikaru? joke
Hikaru respect ✊🏻

Someone got my boy Hikaru a fan.
These kids are brutal.
i don't wanna be disrepectful, but when you make such a big titles like LEVY ROAD TO GM!!! and he is playing so bad it looks funny af
Win out levy ! You can do it !!!
i hate this pawn situation i always try my best to avoid to block the way by the pawn because stockfish get very easily the way to reckt me over
How fast are these games going? The last game was like 4 hours ago.
In this level of events there are two games per day.
RUclips have decided that i like chess now
When levy gets to 1200 elo will they take away his IM rating?
I think no + he will not go down
5:01 your big black center...
Food chain on top😂
I think Levy's opponents play their best bcs they know they will end up on RUclips
if anyone wondering which movie scene is taken for the thumbnail, its from inception.
Levy keeps worrying too much about what his opponent is doing rather than what he can do. Yes, you have to do that, but getting that balance right appears to be a work in progress for him.
Nice recap, Hikaru. 👍
This series is so gooood

what will be first levy a GM or GTA6 its close one i guess we'll find out decades in the future
11:02 instead of Rd8, how about Qxd7 here ?
The idea is to play Bf5 after the trades and lock the position. White just plays Nf3 Bb2 and hunts down the central pawn
Enjoyed it thanks
Didn't really understand the comments from Levy about these recaps. I don't really ever see them as "roasting". There may be toxic commenters who are watching these and being nasty, but any criticism coming from Hikaru in the actual videos is about the game not about Levy as a person.
He didn't sound bitter about it, did he? I think he is just a little embarrassed about his play and projecting his self-judgment on to others.
hes talking bout little clips hes being sent
He should resign from the tournament and stay away from tournaments like he ready decided in the last. To preserve at least a bit of dignity.
@@jebespolitiko ikr. I always thought his road to gm was just for content but him crashing and burning so fast is bad for his image...

He doesn't have to be a gm. He already earns a lot. He won't be a super gm so what's the point.
Maybe it’s a life goal. Some people have them.
I'm losing faith on Levy if he keeps losing the tournament. There's no way he could turn this around, even there's one small chance of hope. 😔

Hikaru has only spoken the truth and Levy hasn't respected how lucky he is to get advice from someone on Hikaru's level, which is basically the highest tier you can get in chess.
Levy is not changing his OTB play and there's no way he's making GM not due to skill or knowledge but due to not focusing on the key aspects of his game, which Hikaru has pointed out many times explicitly and he remains right about everything he's said to this day
Levy played a different opening in game 1. The tournament where Hikaru said to do that, Levy wasn't going to change because that wasn't what he prepped. He's been experimenting recently
He also fully admits that he has time trouble. It's not something you "just change". That's one of the most difficult skills to master
But sure, keep pretending that he doesn't respect Hikaru for the sake of drama
@Themegakender The difference is most GMs prepare up to 15 lines in openings and you can see here he hasn't by his early time management alone. Why is the chess community so sensitive?
ngl I agree, but then I also think a lot of people make it into higher tiers than they really should be, due to iedetic memory of opening sequences and just spam them, but blunder themselves to death when taken out of their known theory. Basically, seems like Levy is in a similar boat; but I still respect the f out of his expertise and grind when commentating and evaluating.
@@Themegakender Levy and Hikaru have done lots of different things together, I'm not making this about drama. its about subtext. Levy did not accept the advice openly on his videos. That's the point. It's ego or sensitivity, I'm not sure.
Of course you can address time management.
Hikaru's advice if you pay attention is not just about chess moves. He's constantly harping on the importance of time management and the meta of the game, like the difference between blitz with/without increment.
Time management at the highest level is almost as important as the moves you make.
How can you say that can't be changed? It's impossible for Levy to play an intuitive move in one game instead of calculating? That's nonsense. He's stubborn and stuck in his ways. Of course you can change that as a chess player that's what coaches are for.
I think when you said (in your live stream) that you don’t think levy will be a GM it really demotivated him which was probably the reason for his comments in his second recap
I have no sympathy for Levy here. If you’ve watched him cover lower rated games he’s always extremely condescending and constantly mocks the players’ blunders. But now that someone higher rated than him is critiquing his play he’s choosing to play the victim. It’s very hypocritical.
@@aavarela64 I understand your point but levy has always stated that if you submit your games for him to review he will make fun of the blunders and people still choose to submit, but in this case when a GM that is also your friend says that he doesn’t believe in you it would demotivate any person, I don’t think he would have cared as much if any other GM had said this.
@@aavarela64I think there's a big difference between making fun of people who submit their own games to be made fun of (like in guess the elo) and making fun of people who make mistakes / lose in a tournament setting
@aavarela64 But those people voluntarily submit their games for the content, also their games are just blitz or rapid games and not professional classical games like levy's which are more serious and meaningful to him.
@@aavarela64 He does that to random nameless people who send in their games so that he can literally make fun of them during guess the elo. He has never been condescending to actual people or to opponents or literally anyone who has an actual identity beyond "gotham sub" or "random noob". It's not even remotely the same thing. Hikaru is just a mean and vindictive person who's mad at the world because he happened to have a career during the same time Magnus happened to be alive.
Levy is hopeless
But it's unfair that an average good player like Levi gets free coaching by a top GM. I am stronger than Levi and I had to teach myself
What's your chess rating over the board and online rating? I just want to know
Thug Rose ain't no joke!
Wrong sports bro

I mean levy played bad chess for his abillity im nkt surprised you roasted him, i know you want levi to do well i rearly think he deservs to make gm i just hope he sticks at it an dosnt let a few bad games detear him
So, as far as the copyrights to Sony (I found this out with the original PS1) the corrupt data that gets implemented on the original memory card it was a flaw to the design. The computer tried to reformat itself. They built the construct with the hopes of creating the modern miniature satellite. How is this relevant to Chess and the current timeline ? Well........when things try reformat themselves with a flawed design to encrypted data and gets overlapped with code and/or coding. I am sorry, but the threshold of conduits and programming literally become its own stalemate of no longer allowing the traffic of signals to take place. It's like literally overloading a terminal. Checkmate. The 5 time World Chess Champion in Rapid time control zones literally had the WAVE. Far out frequency dude! (SUBSCRIBE)

🤔Isn’t it painfully ironic that Levy deliberately chose to place himself front and centre in the limelight, only to whinge like a child when the inevitable happens-attention, including the negative kind? His immaturity and blatant lack of self-awareness are honestly baffling.
🤔Isn't it weird that you came to this conclusion without reason, while he's trying his best, and reviewing his games, even when they end in loss? Sometimes people do their best, and still lose. The important thing is not to let it bring you down, and Levy is certainly not showing cowardice. He needs more confidence in his OTB games, true, but no need for such harsh evaluations. He's taking it like a champ, whether or not he succeeds.
@igrutinovicana You’re replying without grasping a word of what I’ve said. The painful irony of Levy’s "situation" is impossible to ignore. As Hikaru rightly points out, if social media is causing him such distress, the obvious solution would be to step away. But Levy can’t-because his entire identity and financial success are built around his online persona. It seems he knows nothing beyond the world of social media he refuses to detach from.
@@OvercookedOctopusFeetTo me, it seems like an obvious "rough patch" in the road, where, of course, he's sensitive. Perhaps stepping away from social media would be best for him, I'm not denying that, I'm saying that saying those things about him is too harsh. He's trying his best, and even in the face of all of this, his words are mature. I agree he's letting it distract him, and that he's probably blind sighted by the devastation of not reaching his goals...
@OvercookedOctopusFeet
Because it's his job.....
He literally can't step away from social media when it's his literal job to give recaps of his games. What?
If you lost/drew and felt you disappointed millions of people youd crack under the pressure for sure.
for the GMs that would "easily" win from Levys positions to say negative things is one thing. Because levy can actually learn from certain forms of their critiques (though just calling him bad is not critique. He knows he lost of his own decisions. That's why you do analysis after, to learn.)
But for you to say him having emotions and feeling sad that people flame him (not critique) is "whining and immature" only shows how immature you are. He is genuinely trying his best. Saying he is sad and admitting that actually shows how in tune he is with himself. That's not whining. That's just sharing that he wishes people were kinder. He understands humans enjoy making others feel bad, and he is just sharing that it does affect him.
@@bluejcube94 Before knee-jerk defending Levy, take a moment to understand what he is complaining about. Then recognise that he has deliberately cultivated the very reactionary space in which he now finds himself and has become a target. He is the instigator, the cause, and the victim of everything he previously created.
Yay
