"Taking something to your grave" means that you would never tell anyone. You wouldn't want anyone to know that Hikaru played a normal opening against you?
There was a meme in Hikaru Subreddit, where you think hes taking a long time to make a move, but hes actually just thanking his subs. Overall was an amazing game
I’m really glad to see Levy having more confidence in his games vs some of his other videos. Levy gives his opponents their respect but he doesn’t give himself the respect her deserves. As long as you’re playing another human, there is always the possibility of winning. I’m glad Levy stuck with his gut more and didn’t overthink his moves as much this game. I’m happy to see that
Loved your breakdown of the game and the way you explain your decision-making process. The self-awareness and authenticity throughout the game is encouraging for everyday players and beginners trying to navigate their own games.
Everyone talking about how mentally hard it is for levy to play against hikari as he's the second highest rated blitz player , very very accomplished in many ways this and that . Think about how stressful it must be for hikaru to not lose to levy as levy definitely would make a big fuss in the community if he won against hikaru
I would love to se a video of you emphasising the speed of these blitz/bullet games, and how you calculate multible moves ahead without spending time on the clock! 😊
You mostly play on instinct, based on what you know about the position, and take the most time on moments where you feel you might be better if you find the right move or tactic, which is again based on a feeling/intuition
It's like playing guitar or any instrument for that matter or if you don't play any, think of it like driving a car manually. In the beginning, you'll think about what gear to put the car in and you sometimes even forget what gear you in but as you drive more and more and become experienced, it all becomes naturally and you don't think about gears while driving. It is similar here as chess has become second nature to them.
The Sicilian I see against my e4 maybe 30-40% of the time. Almost never see the Scandi. That's why I like it. Puts half the players I play against on defense from the 1st move.
This video was the most enjoyable that includes analysis. I dont even play chess seriously but only for fun, the way you explained everything was very informative. Usually i cant understand youre analaysis but this was enjoyable. Thanks Hikaru.
its nice to see this game in both this video and hikaru video to see both of their point of view. like the one where the queen was almost trapped both of them got excited/scared for a second
Great opportunity for a joke at the beginning of the vid when he was talking about the dread of playing against Hikaru. He said it was like going to the dentist where he just needs to "sit...and be brave, and whatever." I would've died if I heard something like "lie back and think of the London system"
I swear when you watch gothamchess explain one game, it feels like watching 20 different games because he gives different alternate interactions of the one game for each move. When he resets back to the current progress of the match I just think, “wait, none of that actually happened?”
Gotta admit man, I have no idea how to play chess nor do I care to learn but your videos are entertaining and enjoyable to watch throughout. Congrats on that.
Bro is IM (INTERNATIONAL MASTER) and said hes not one of the best of the world. Mate you are a worldwide master, master means one of the best and International means around the world.
reminds me of how Hikaru said that you always try to draw a game rather than going for the win and that's a fatal mistake for someone trying to be a chess master.

Epic chess when you're being humiliated for 30 minutes in a row?
Yeah man, I believe you
Pin of shame!
💀
The chess is still epic. His title stand strong :)
It's even better now that we know this has absolutely no effect on him
Trashtalking an IM by a player with no elo 😂😂😂
Hikaru did a normal opening?! If I was Levy, I'd take that compliment to my grave.
*Hikaru sees Levy, plays bong cloud*
Hikaru and Magnus tell you what they think of you with their first move.

The fact that Levy didn't play Caro Kann against Hikaru is just sad😭
Because Hikaru made fun of him for playing Caro-Kann before
@@Ap0r3Dist3inHSpretty sure the first time he won against Hikaru he played caro kann could be mistaken though
he didn't play the caro kann because hikaru didn't play e4

Great match Levy! I watched Hikaru's video of the same game and love the different ways you break down the whole thing.
I think levy saw the video before he made his own...
Just saying...
it really is great to see magnus featuring other chess players on his channel
Awooga... It really feels nice to see Levy playing some chess again.
Hikaru never fails to put levy in his videos
This will never end will it?
@@aweebthatlovesmath4220

That's a Magnus joke.
He actually did before levy.
29:00 levy never fails to mention magnus
Magnus never fails to not let levy fails to mention magnus in his nakmora's vedio

Definitely down for the Scandi course. By far my favorite e4 opening for black.
E5 and sicillian a million times superior
@@KianOntong13for low-mid elo, scandi throws ppl off and is very strong, even tho e5 and sicilian are theoretically better
@@vybzone in bullet Scandi can be fun i guess, especially more fun than the French
Try ware opening... Really throws people off even at the 1400 level
The Sicilian I see against my e4 maybe 30-40% of the time. Almost never see the Scandi. That's why I like it. Puts half the players I play against on defense from the 1st move.
"Playing against Hikaru for me, is like having a dentist appointment". LMAO
I used to watch your 10 minute opening videos and now you are a huge youtuber and author! So happy to see your success :)
Bro still can’t stop including magnus in his videos
This video was the most enjoyable that includes analysis. I dont even play chess seriously but only for fun, the way you explained everything was very informative. Usually i cant understand youre analaysis but this was enjoyable. Thanks Hikaru.
Thank you for allowing such an amazing sponsor to help you play Hikaru
its nice to see this game in both this video and hikaru video to see both of their point of view. like the one where the queen was almost trapped both of them got excited/scared for a second
Should be proud of this game, held your own for most of the game against one of the best blitz players
The sneeze at 3:03 was brought to you by our sponsor air.
As a low rated bad chess player, when playing higher rated opponents think about how embarrassing it'd be for the higher rated player to lose
Famous last words “Hikaru can’t mate me with no queen”
Absolutely epic breakdown. Enthralled. More of this please.
Great stare, almost seemed genuine
Let’s join forces the next time you play Hikaru. Our combined elo will be just enough to overpower the bastard💪
23:16 bro repeated himself 💀
0:59 I already know he lost.
Magnus hasn’t been in a thumbnail in 5 videos
Did they break up?
8:10 Hikaru is actually 4th in blitz right now behind Nihal, Danya and Magnus
Rating fluctuate all the time. In ability, he's top 2, sometime outright best in the world
playing at this level against such opponents is like playing volleyball at a beach but my side is sprinkled with land mines
stressful
Blud realy thought he was magnus fr💀
3:01 for hikaru
WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Levy "I'm an agressive player"
Also Levy: "I'm playing passive"😂
'I am not a cyborg' is what a cyborg would say
LEvy never fails to talk 25m about a 6-10m game
I wonder how much of a boost Hikaru gets from the intimidation generated from merely seeing his name as an opponent.
""Maybe I won" 🤣
"I'm not a cyborg" - Levy
Sounds like something a cyborg would say.
Levy is a real one for always covering/pushing small up and coming chess players 🎉
Less anxiety, more confidence.! 😊 well Done on the game, gg
Hikaru's respect for Levy: sees Levy, plays bong cloud
Levy is the type of guy to bless himself after sneezing
It was a 3 minute game and levi makes a 30 minute video on it.CONTENTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
This was a really good effort levy. One day you're gonna be able to see all these tactics even against hikaru. We're proud of you as usual
i don t believe that you are not a cyborg
My man Levy not just killing it with his content lately but also over the board!!! More power to you 😊
Great opportunity for a joke at the beginning of the vid when he was talking about the dread of playing against Hikaru. He said it was like going to the dentist where he just needs to "sit...and be brave, and whatever." I would've died if I heard something like "lie back and think of the London system"
Would love to see the Anish game too if you decide to cover it Levy, hope you do!
That game was pure content 😂
@@khoanguyenquangminh1525 I played Anish Giri and I won my game!
I love watching this high level analysis. It's SO cool seeing wild plays.
Levy :- "breaths"
Hikaru :- you shouldn't do like that, you had 9 holes in your body but you still choosen this
Levy against his own bot: I wOuLd NeVeR PlAy tHe FrenCh
Very cool getting to see how people the IM and GM level play. Great game!
Air and epic chess a perfect pairing.
You lasted longer with Hikaru than you do with your wife
I'm so lucky air sponsered this video... I hadn't breathed in ages
the bot said, "youre mating me? oh no no, uno reverse card, checkmate."
Levy, love your content. just keep doing what you're doing and you'll eventually get to 10 millon subs

Hikaru's thumbnails:
Bro is IM (INTERNATIONAL MASTER) and said hes not one of the best of the world. Mate you are a worldwide master, master means one of the best and International means around the world.
levy lost the moment he saw hikaru's name pop up. He lost the mental battle and felt like rather than thinking of winning he was playing for a draw.
Very good game Levy! It was both instructional and entertaining. Thank you for bringing such amazing content to the chess community ❤
*plays a brilliant game
Levy- this will be my tomorrow's video
Hikaru- welcome back everyone for TODAYYYS video
reminds me of how Hikaru said that you always try to draw a game rather than going for the win and that's a fatal mistake for someone trying to be a chess master.
2:29 “And at this point I Grimaced 😬 “
Good job handling the pressure, my man.
"He plays one of one" - Levi been listening to The Game podcast yo...
Levy, it was "aggressive infiltration of air" because you have to place the product for the sponsor.
Levy never fails to change the title of the video.
Might actually be some A/B testing on what functions better, settling for a different one than was shown to you first time around.
Big shoutout to Levy for letting hikaru post his video first! Thanks bro! Much love and respect.
Hikaru had the evaluation bar while he was playing
"without further ado"
There was further ado.
Levy never fails to never fail to fail against Hikaru.
00:00 this is where the fun begins
You know why Hikaru is in your head? You put him there. You're just playing the black pieces against the white pieces. Love you Levy
thank you for telling me to breathe. i am now manually breathing.
Levy: “nah, I’d chess “
Props to levy for reiterating that he is not a cyborg
I think it's time for a new trend in levy's comment section
Levy needs a session with a sports' psychologist
I’m really enyoing watching ur old videos with hikaru, can’t understand why u guys stoppen making videos with each other
"Hikaru is a human, he make inaccuracies"
Yeah, and he call them blunders 😀
Putting a 3 min game in a 30 min video and calling urself "freaked out " fells so wrong to me for some reason😢😢
