I looked at the 365Chess Database and they had their first game in 2001 at "Troll Masters". Magnus then was already at about 2000 rating, according to Wikipedia. And in mid 2000, when he was still 900 he would have been in a different devision, if at all (if the current organisation of the Norwegian Chess Championship resembles the case in year 2000) So, i doubt, that they had this match which this rating difference.
Can you do a video on Yuri Averbakh, his life and best games? It's his 100th birthday today (first GM to reach a century) P.S. Another idea I've thought of and also seen being suggested is Guess The Eval, I'd really like that :D (P.P.S. I'm a fan of both Babbel and The Fabulous, happy to see them sponsor you =) )
Geir Sune has often been a guest commentator for tournaments on Norwegian TV, he seems like a very nice guy, and clearly all his theory work is paying off.
Fun fact, Geir Sune got a GM norm in the tournament he played a couple of weeks after this game. That means he has two GM norms, and only needs one more, and to cross 2500, in order to finally get the GM title. His peak rating was 2493 in May 2022, and while he has dropped a few points since then, I fully expect he'll be able to get both. Impressive to see a 38 year old still improving!
It's quite common to forget how smart Levy really is. Though he may act casual on the outside, one has to acknowledge his mental capacity as he can recall moves from games from weeks, months, even years ago. In contrast, I can't remember what I had for breakfast.
Just the other day, Gata Kamsky (5x US champion and a legend of the game) was saying the first time he met Levy he was incredibly impressed by his opening knowledge
As Levy points out it's funny that with this result Magnus lost more ELO than what he gained by winning an entire tournament. I mean, Magnus is the best, but 2900 is gonna be almost impossible xd
@@johnbishop9621 this is just a logical fallacy bc ELO is inherently self correcting--i.e. if his opponents were better the results would be different too. You can't just randomly give Magnus' opponent higher elo rankings, because if they had that much more elo their playing strength would also be that much higher. Obviously it's easier to increase your elo if you're playing people that are close to your elo-- you gain more and lose less vs playing someone 100 points lower but if they're at your level it will also be that much more difficult to regularly defeat them.
I'm always very afraid to make early queen trades like this, because I dont know what to do next. Could you make a video about strategies and tactics in a queenless middlegame?
This is the best one of your videos that ive watched, very informative in many ways, most usefull for me was the pawn structure and middle game analysis. keep it up love from Poland Levy!
Levy, video idea: where different high level players struggle and why. You can probably think of better examples than me, but say Hikaru in classical vs blitz or Fabi in blitz vs classical. Maybe Rosen in end games. They’d all crush me but this is just an inkling of an idea
Hikaru was classical no. 2 only a few years ago. If he didn't stream and spent more time preparing then he'd probably be top 10. Fabiano is not weak at blitz and rapid. That's just a myth. Look at his rapid and blitz ratings. Its just that he's regarded as a classical specialist with extensive prep.
@@areebsiddiqui758 Fabi was weak *in comparison*. Obviously he was still one of the best but at the time he was #2 in classical with 2800+ Its why in their WC match magnus drew the last game even with a slightly better position. He was that confident about the faster times Fabi has gotten way stronger at the faster times since that WC match though^
@@areebsiddiqui758 you might be right 🤷♂️ according to old Ben Finegold he doesn’t even make the top 100 lol I’ll take Ben’s opinion over yours for now. I even said Levy could think of better examples, I just think it’s a cool idea, even if my examples aren’t the best
@@Jartran72 which ones? Lol I listed three. Hikaru is a blitz god but some think he’s lackluster at classical (Ben Finegold said this). Fabi is a classical god but it’s not really debatable that he isn’t as good in blitz. Obviously he’s better than both of us together, but the idea is to examine why they excel in one area and are lackluster in others. Rosen is strong in endgames, but he’s a tricky opening and middle game player generally speaking, with endgames not being as sharp.
Heya Levi, just wanted to say that I think this is the best video of yours I've ever seen. Really great energy, excellent narration and great use of drama and it was also very educational. Nice job dude.
Me when i do a move Levy: Thats a mistake Magnus doing the exact same move: That was a brilliant move because after c4 h6 b5 the king is trapped and game is over
Levy, you make chess so much more fun and interesting! Thanks and no worries about the ads, keep making great chess videos and please keep the timestamps for the game start if possible. Great work and thank you!!

Hmmmm... So Dubov and Aronian crush the Caro-Kann at the Grand Prix but Magnus goes for a line that draws against a sub 2500 IM. Great hold by Geir but you have to wonder if Magnus underestimated or was just bored. Thanks for the great recap!!
Hi Levy I really appreciate that your are sponsored by this type of app beaucause of everything happened due to the corona virus people mental / mood is pretty low. As a psychologi studient I am glad that you take care of this (sorry for my bad english I 'm french :( )
Video idea: worst moves of Magnus Carlsen. An instructional video about his blunders and / or slight inaccuracies that don't seem bad for the untrained eye, but still lose the game. For example Magnus vs Esipenko, Tata Steel 2018. It can be reassuring that even Magnus makes mistakes, but it also useful and informative. What do you think?

Imagine being so higher-rated that even a draw loses 4 elo points.
What elo means??
@@SHUBHAMSHARMA-wm8ty it’s just a measure of skill so to speak. Higher Elo = higher skill and vice versa.

Among IMs and above, that ability is pretty standard. Although, sure, it's still an impressive skill.

Really enjoyed this recap, Levy! The instructive points you made about that endgame were definitely helpful.

We are all seen Magnus making a wizard trick and winning an endgame, so ıt ıs really rare and "shocking" to see him drawing an equal enddgame:)
Wtf are those i without a dot

Geir is the brother of a friend of mine! I stayed with his family for a few weeks when I first moved to Norway, it was wild to watch this game live.
Levy saying "2500 is going to be tough" (at the end of the video) is such a paradigmatic Freudian slip.
"King is a lil sus" and "shifting bricks" lol. love the commentary
"One guy's name is Magnus Carlsen"
Man, that's a heavy asset
Very impressive game by Ostmoe! And love the commentary, Levy. :)

God damn Levy you're doing so well I'm happy for you man
the different color hoodies really help with skipping forward
Magnus is still #1: Kudos to his opponent to Not Be Overwhelmed (NBO) by playing the World Champion. Great instructive game all around!

0:28 its so funny that you change your clothes while advertising
As far as selecting ads I think that one is forward thinking and perhaps not the ad some people want but definitely the ad they deserve
This alone should count as a GM norm for him
Imagine going into a queenless middlegame with Magnus Carlsen. That's like going into an underwater wrestling match with a 10 foot great white shark.
10 meters you mean ? I'm not even sure babies great White shark are 10 feet long
