How to git gud: Play chess hard with FM or superior Study very hard (openings, middle-game, end-game) Do more tactics exercises Improve your skills Easy, right?
He's honestly barely even an IM. Which is a huge fucking accomplishment. But at 25 its unlikely that he'll increase his rating since he's been playing since childhood
According to this video he only hit IM level in tournament performance, since becoming an IM 2 years ago, only once. While his rating dropped below IM. To me, this means that it would take years for him to even get IM again if he wasn't one already. That's far off from becoming a GM. I think there's a decent probability that he will never ascend to a GM. He has no need to though, being a popular streamer and content creator.
@SwallowingTheRabbitWhole Just look at his FIDE rating. 2343. To become an IM you need to be above 2400. He was above that for about a year and had some good performances. He totally deserves the IM title, no doubt about it, but he's about 150 points off from being able to even begin to think about GM norms. It is very rare to see someone become a GM after their mid-twenties, and it's certainly not for lack of trying.
Been playing Chess casually for 20 years started at 10. Never pursued it- but I'm at a point where I want to at least have a good grasp on theory. I've always been ok with losing so long as I knew I provided a challenge. With all that said I arrived at your channel, and am learning a lot. I pray if GM is still a desirable title you keep going. A GM at 20 is still a GM, a GM at 30 is still a GM, and GM at 40 is still a GM... you get the point. Hats off to those 13 yr olds- just insane, but there's plenty of glory to go around!
You can make a nice side income from chess even if you're not a titled player. You could coach, run a club, or become an arbiter. I've seen intermediate players do it. But unless you have some other talent related to chess its unlikely that you'll make a living out of it below GM level.
@@bobbobbity463 Top 3? You realise the top 10-20 players get invited to the top tournaments. Players like Fabiano Caruana, who's number 2 in the world doesn't actually make much money because of his failure in rapid and blitz events for instance.
Levy, would be really cool to see you analyse a game you play against a gm, because when I watch you analyse a game vs a lower rated player and you explain your moves it seems like you play perfectly. Would be interesting to see you explain your moves but then also explain how the gm still manages to win.
@@blasfah1909 are you 12... Do you think you're funny? Do you go around asking strangers on the street "DO YOU KNOW SUG HAHA DO YOU KNOW SUG?" its just embarssing dude
Hi Levy, I love to hear about the struggle it takes to become IM level, you can find a lot of videos about the requirements just like this one, but not the actual path, how many hours did you train, how did you break your walls at certain elo, how many years did it take, the real hard work behind all of this.
@@finnhackapell6560 I think most IMs gets their income from teaching and analysis (since all the huge prize competitions are being played by GMs and other *really* strong players) , so new players are more familiar with IMs. That, and Levy is just an entertaining and educative guy.
If I had to guess I'd say a GM or at least IM title is theoretically achievable for over 1 percent of the subscribers to this channel. It's safe to assume that the average IQ of the subscribers is well above 100. You probably need an IQ of over 130 to have a chance to become a GM/IM. And, of course, you pretty much have to dedicate much of your time to the game.
@@Axiomatic75 Not true at all. IQ doesn’t directly correlate to being good at chess. Hikaru for example has an IQ of something like 105 and he’s a super GM.
honestly big props to you man, you’ve capitalized so well with this new wave of chess players you know just what kind of content to put out there to make this a really interesting process. thanks for teaching me how to play chess, i feel like i keep learning so much more every time i watch your vids
Hey Levy, an idea for a video that me and some friends would be interested in is a guide to chess books. At what point does it make sense to start looking at books? What are some of the most important books to read in any given rating range? I want to start looking at books to up my game but am having a hard time finding a good guide to what books make sense at my level. Thank you for all the incredible work, you've really helped me get into the game.
I really appreciate you sharing your experiences on becoming an IM. I knew you were elite, but I had no idea how elite until you showed the FIDE stats. That's awesome!
@@IIxIxIv Nonsense. The fact is that women just generally don't gravitate towards chess as much as men.

Moved to the Philippines and picked up chess again to keep me out of trouble. Last I seriously played was while in the Marines against a gunnery Sgt who was rated 1800 during the first Gulf War in some cat-box of a desert in Saudi Arabia. (Before then after the invasion.) I simply wish to focus better and improve my game. Thank you ever so much for your videos. I truly appreciate them. Blessed Be Brother.
17:28 Your eyes were so much hypnotic and full with utter politeness that I subscribed you man. Always be genuine. Your eyes tells that you're a good hearted person.
Having an incredible memory is the key. The best will see a position and mention who they played it against and when. They are great players to begin with, but also know all the openings, traps, and end games to win without running out of time.
Levy, thanks for all the instructional content. Good teacher and great personality. I'm sure plenty of us would be worse at chess without your help. Keep pushing those pawns, my dude!!!
I'd say he certainly has the ability beat GMs, but not on a consistent basis. Consistency against GMs is what ultimately will be what will give him the title, assuming he gets his 3 norms. An IM that realistically should be a GM is John Bartholomew. He has the rating and he does beat GMs pretty consistently in online tourneys but COVID-19 isn't doing anyone favors.
He said that he was trying to reach 200k. That was 4 months ago and now he’s almost at 750k… Great job Levy! Keep up the great work! Your videos help me so much!
Please take a minute and subscribe to Levy's channel guys. It costs you nothing to do and helps him a bunch. Levy thanks for the tutorials, videos, coverage of tournaments, roasts and being a good sport when we troll you on twitch :p
just some videos I'd watch 1) middle game attacking plans 2) pawn structures and plans 3) how to improved tactics at an advanced level (like 2000 chess. com puzzles) 4) Speed run using gambits only 5) best openings for improving chess play.
When I won a chess congress I was given as a prize the book "Think like a Grandmaster" where it is taught the way forward is to construct plans that are in 3, 4, 5 stages etc. Modern chess phone apps like Tiger Chess take you over the game with instructions.
Definitely the one of the most entertaining and exhilarating games you could play. After playing such a crazy game resembling of Tal's deep dark forest it is clear that you deserved to have you IM title. Well done Levy Rothman 😍👌👍
What kind of training does someone at that level do to become a GM? Is it finding out the attendees of a tournament and studying their games? Finding a GM mentor/tutor/coach? Can books still help?
Probably becomes work, which means 8+hours of theoretical studying and practice. Like everything in life, if you stick to something long enough you’ll be good at it. Maybe not the best in the world, but 2500-2600 is relatively easier than 2750+, those guys are a diferent breed
Anyone with a functioning brain can do it if they devote enough time and energy into it like the other person commented. However, you're going to run into time and financial restrictions at some point and you'll need to make some difficult choices.
It's crazy that this video was posted over a year ago, and as I'm listening to him say he is chasing the 200k subs, I'm staring at his 1.72 million current subscribers. Levi has improved his position.
To be fair I think it benefits women more since there would be a very small amount of women Grand Masters. It gives them a sort of better representation having specific titles at least rn.
THANK YOU!!! Also it is somewhat embarrassing too, because it makes it seem like either the female chess players are too lazy or not smart enough to compete for the GM title- and I'm a woman.
The stats are not surprising at all. The amount of work it takes to achieve anything in chess is mind boggling. I'm usually not the kind of guy to be afraid of a challenge, and I love chess, but I'm not even trying it. It objectively takes a life, and I only have one. Insane respect to people who achieved IM or GM.
I’m 14! I have a chance on the leaderboard of the youngest GM! I have so many more resources than someone a long time ago my age had so that means I might have an easier time learning specific openings and different variety of which specific opening I want to learn specifically.
I dont think women are less talented or "worse" at chess. I just think that the pool of women is not as large. Not enough girls start playing chess at a young age. At least not as many as boys.
i dont think women are less talented and along with what you said i think women are also less interested in chess than men. its kinda ridiculous to spend your whole life playing chess and smh i think women are less likely to do something that extreme out of choice.
Basically biology plays a key part... Men genetically have been built for endurance and concentration... Whereas female are always having this unique creativity and sincerity... Of course judit did it so I think any female can beat her records if they have the perfect environment to develop. For me chess has been a men's game because men started it in 1800s and female join much later... So logically I guess this gap will decrease more as time passes.

When I won a chess congress I was given as a prize the book "Think like a Grandmaster" where it is taught the way forward is to construct plans that are in 3, 4, 5 stages etc. Modern chess phone apps like Tiger Chess take you over the game with instructions.
levy really said "I guide others to a treasure I can't posses"
Definitely the one of the most entertaining and exhilarating games you could play. After playing such a crazy game resembling of Tal's deep dark forest it is clear that you deserved to have you IM title. Well done Levy Rothman 😍👌👍
The only gm title I can get is when someone wishes me with that in the morning
Good morning?
@@yelwinaung1608 GM= Good Morning. Not humour for everyone
@@4dotaonly I was just making sure it's good morning. Not other long forms of gm. Thanks.
Must be nice having people wish you good morning😂😂😭😭
@@rishi2609 well that was just for a comment 😶
What kind of training does someone at that level do to become a GM? Is it finding out the attendees of a tournament and studying their games? Finding a GM mentor/tutor/coach? Can books still help?
Probably becomes work, which means 8+hours of theoretical studying and practice. Like everything in life, if you stick to something long enough you’ll be good at it. Maybe not the best in the world, but 2500-2600 is relatively easier than 2750+, those guys are a diferent breed
Anyone with a functioning brain can do it if they devote enough time and energy into it like the other person commented. However, you're going to run into time and financial restrictions at some point and you'll need to make some difficult choices.
"As we try to chase 200k" Dayum watching this less than a year in the future and you have OVER TRIPLE that now WOW
It's crazy that this video was posted over a year ago, and as I'm listening to him say he is chasing the 200k subs, I'm staring at his 1.72 million current subscribers. Levi has improved his position.
4 months later and he has double of subscribers, wow
I clicked on this video knowing that there is no chance of me becoming a GM.
Ironic.
He could lead others to the GM title, but not himself.
I see what you did there
Best comment ever lol
Except he can actually get it
@@testingsomething5280 bro it's a meme...
You are on this council, but we will not grant you the title of Grand Master
How To Become A Chess Grandmaster:
step 1: git gud
step 2: git gud
step 3: git gud
now guess step 4
Get good I guess ... Maybe I am wrong
Sell your soul
step 4: git gud
"as we try to chase 200,000" bruh. Crushed it.
Closed tournaments also have the drawback that they also get to prepare against you.
Women's titles seems so stupid to me. What does gender have to do with Chess?
I agree there should just be a large playing pool for both men and women to play in together
I'm ok with female only tournaments but if you want a IM or GM title you have to earn it playing against both genders.
@@luisalonso959 yea something like that
To be fair I think it benefits women more since there would be a very small amount of women Grand Masters. It gives them a sort of better representation having specific titles at least rn.
THANK YOU!!! Also it is somewhat embarrassing too, because it makes it seem like either the female chess players are too lazy or not smart enough to compete for the GM title- and I'm a woman.
day 1 of appreciating levy’s eyebrows
Hadn't realized that, amazing
Me at 600: oh
The stats are not surprising at all. The amount of work it takes to achieve anything in chess is mind boggling. I'm usually not the kind of guy to be afraid of a challenge, and I love chess, but I'm not even trying it. It objectively takes a life, and I only have one. Insane respect to people who achieved IM or GM.
I’m 14! I have a chance on the leaderboard of the youngest GM! I have so many more resources than someone a long time ago my age had so that means I might have an easier time learning specific openings and different variety of which specific opening I want to learn specifically.
I just started and my goal is to be GM. Thanks big doggy.
I play chess I watch chess💜💙 But I never win at chess😁
I've got 10 minutes, king me! 😂
I've seen some of your videos and I have to admit some of your lessons really helps 👍 big fan here, keep up with good work
That was such a nice video and a wild game, just shows how much work has to be made to become a titled player. Just subscribed keep up the hardwork
I dont think women are less talented or "worse" at chess. I just think that the pool of women is not as large. Not enough girls start playing chess at a young age. At least not as many as boys.
i dont think women are less talented and along with what you said i think women are also less interested in chess than men. its kinda ridiculous to spend your whole life playing chess and smh i think women are less likely to do something that extreme out of choice.
Basically biology plays a key part... Men genetically have been built for endurance and concentration... Whereas female are always having this unique creativity and sincerity...
Of course judit did it so I think any female can beat her records if they have the perfect environment to develop.
For me chess has been a men's game because men started it in 1800s and female join much later... So logically I guess this gap will decrease more as time passes.
@@speeddemon2901 Chess has been around a lot longer than that, my friend...
@@interestedbystander196 the competitive chess or so called mordern chess started in Reineisance only...
@@interestedbystander196 before that we had variants not the current one... Earlier the queen was a weak piece , castling enpassant didn't exist...
This video is not how to become a GM, it is only the requirements to get the title.
By fulfilling the requirements
Couldn't you just like played Nf5 in 14:07
Happy to hear an IM talking about how unorthodox positions can be and not knowing wtf is going on. Every other game I’m in. Gives us hope 😂
Much respect for seeing all these moves in a tight time situation from levy and his opponent
