28:59 Magnus said in the interview with Norwegian Television that d5 was intended, but he messed up the move order. He had prepped it, but mentioned that Nf7 should be played before atleast. He mentioned a lot of other moves too, but that was too dank for my brain.
25:15 "Rapport's in first place, he is in first place. I mean it's (more than that?) right now. Three and a half out of five. Tied with a few other players." If you were wondering what he said when it muted!
YO! Thank you very much! Came down to the comment section early just to see if someone had something to say about that sudden mute and you made it worth it. Thank you kind sir!
I am usually guilty of only watching magnus' games but when I saw the king in the middle of the board I just had to know how that happened in a 2700+ classical tournament - and I was not disappointed.
Bruh if the two last guys would marry and Magnus would take Nils' last name, "Magnus Grandelius" would be the most epic Name given to any human since the fall of the Roman Empire
@@cardinaljake6167 it's anthropomorphism here. Personification is saying a nonhuman entity does a human thing ("The fire is dancing", "Justice is blind" etc) while anthropomorphism is making a nonhuman entity act as if it were human (such as here giving stockfish a voice and personality). Interesting distinction though!
Nils' preformance was very impressive. Glad that he was able to show that even when he's having a bad tournament he can fight back against the fucking goat.
@@catandfishfc Chess and poker aren't close at all, chess is all about calculating lines and determining the best move of the position. Poker players calculate the chances of certain cards their opponents have based on how they bet or act, there is no bluffing in Chess only best moves or inferior moves.
Whenever I see a game like Carlsen's, where the players are just bashing each other, I'm always reminded of the car smash up game from the early 70s. The commercial said: "Crash, bang, crack'em up, put'em back again". There’s a link to the old commercial on RUclips (Kenner SSP Smashup TV Commercial 1973)
I'm not totally sure if it's always been this way, but it sounded like Levy's pronunciation of Jordan van Foreest had changed from "Forest with e" to more Dutch-sounding way. Which is understandable since van Foreest was just in Levy's podcast telling how his name should be pronounced. Appreciate this kind of attention to small detail.
Levy, I just wanted to say thank you. I've been trying to get in chess for a few weeks now, and when I feel like I'm stuck, then just watching one or two of your videos, often makes so many lightbulbs light up in my mind. Afterwards when I play, I have so much better understanding of the pieces and the board and the game feels more natural to play, there's clarity and it's easier to see the importance of the positions. I think you have an amazing gift of teaching the chess like nobody I've seen yet. Pls keep up this good work!
Erigasi will surely give a tough fight for all the top level grandmasters, hoping to see him grind his rating and get a chance in the masters section next time!
I missed these recaps (and tournaments) so much. I didn't even realize it. Now that they're back I just enjoy them so much and want to thank you for that Levy! You're amazing and make my day again and again❤️
Absolutely nuts!! Magnus plays a Taimanov Sicilian (!?), Nils threatens to let his queen die, Shakhriyar plays in a hoodie, and Arjun lays waste in the Challenger section. Super recap by the best on You Tube! Thanks again for all the hard work!
You should do a series where you have to play from a losing position. You can title it "Creating Counter-play" or something. In the low elo games you can just hang a piece for free, and then later maybe a piece for a pawn, then maybe a rook for a knight or bishop. and in the high elo games maybe just get into a bad position but one that still has life in it. You could just make custom games and start the game from the losing position. Anyway I just think it would be pretty informative and it plainly sounds like good content. (I've commented this 20 times and I'll continue to do so until either Levy responds, or I see the series. Or maybe I'll give up who knows?)
there is absolutely no one on this planet who converts chess and learning into entertainment like you Levy! It is just awesome to watch❤️ I learn, I laugh, I have a great time.
RUclips didn't give me single ad from start to Magnus, FYI - honestly, amazing commentary, first time I ever watched one of these, but I missed Tata this morning due to work and this was great to watch over dinner.
7:34 "he played his first open spanish before van foreest was born" So he was beating players in open spanishes when van foreest was doing pipi in his pampers
There's pretty nice strategy to make Magnus Carlsen draw: First, you need paper, pencil, and maybe an eraser. After gathering the materials, you can draw Magnus Carlsen
Hallo. I like when you spoke Jan-Krzysztof Duda, it sound so Polish. Ofcourse You are reading all names and surnames like orginal language, but I'm Polish and this hit my heart so much :).
At 12:57 i would play rook takes pawn queen takes rook my queen takes horse with check and Qxh5 with an really active queen and may be a chance of drawing
I don't think you can blame / shout at people who skip to the Magnus game when you put Magnus in the title and thumbnail, which is what draws those people to this video in the first place
I laughed when you said “If you play that move and were my student, i’d yell at you, just like if you skipped ahead” because I skipped ahead to see Magnus 😂
Now that Rapport has played that line does that make it redundant in future games? Or I wonder if he has other prep in this line. I wonder how much time it takes to prepare this. I’m fascinated by it.
10:12 could someone explain this whole sequence please? i dont understand why black didnt take the knight on d4 and then took Kf7 with the rook and not the bishop
29:13 In that position Svidler and Jan thought he missed the move order of his prep, and that the idea was to play another move first and then d5, unfortunately I don't remember the move, maybe nf7? Thanks for the recap!
Steps to enjoy recaps featuring Magnus’ games: 1. Click on the video 2. Skip to Magnus’ game 3. Getting yelled at by Levy 4. Watch the whole thing from the beginning
Hey Levy, just want to let you know that sometimes I skip ahead to Magnus because I'm too excited, but I always go right back to the start and watch the rest
Did that first game transpose to some sort of London variation? That idea to retreat the bishop and get the open file is a thing I learned when I studied that opening with GM Simon Williams' videos
Best Recaps on RUclips. And it's not even close. That's why you're the G.O.A.T.
Better than Agadmator
Nice name
Pin of pride!
Eh Bajana batch ekkuva ayindhi eh madya
That's the kind of pin I like to see, makes me smile, just all around positivity :)
3:48 "En passant is not forced at the 2600 level" is now my favorite Levy one-liner
That Magnus guy is pretty good. He must be a subscriber to Levy.
ok
Mr. Janglles, when will you return to the wonderful hellscape that is chess?
He might get IM if he really puts in the work.
fun fact he was one of the first gotham subscriber in guess the elo.
You see how you are a part of the problem. Fanatics I tell you smh

27:07 "I would yell at them just like i yell at you for skipping ahead to this game"
Thats an amazing foresight i got scared for a second
Haha.. Same, I definitely did that though and there he was talking to me :)
It almost feels personal when he talks to me like that knowing that i skipped to magnus
@@sirjozo_8170 IKR
I skipped straight to the game. It was weird for sure.
Lol i was about to write the same comment
25:17 We will never get the confirmation of what Rapport's first in :(

Nils is a swede so no shot
0:32 If I went to a tournament I think they would put me in the "challenged" section, lol.
25:48 damn this dude straight called me out like that. What a wizard. Subbed just for that.

i love skipping to magnus' game just to see what levy as to say to people who skip fr then i go back i watch the whole video
same
levy playing chess, this guy's playing.... chess?
I did this now for the first time as well... was so funny. Makes these recaps even better :D
@@Ben_01 my man playing 4D chess
Actually genius.
Great defensive chess by Nils, who's having a tough tournament so far.
Shame he missed what was likely a win playing Qb4+-Qb3 instead of Ba4..
Thanks for repeating the exact same thing that he says in the video. Very useful.
I’m sending support to him as a fellow Nils but alas.
At least the Carlsen/Carlson alliance has seen success!
I'm a poker player, but somehow you've made me love chess more than poker! Thanks Levy
Doesn’t surprise me that the best poker vlogger is a chess player and watches levy’s videos. All the best and keep up the good content!
Daniel being the best poker player is very debatable
Chess and poker are kinda close tbh. Players good at one are usually decent at the other as well.

Spent 4 hours watching Tata Steel, time to watch Levy explain to me what I didn't understand because my man deserves the watchtime.

If he wins the Challengers event, he automatically qualifies to the Masters next year
Hoping that his form continues!
His easy games in the Challenger section are over, he now has 4 games against 2600+ players, will surely be a good test for him
23:37 I feel so called out lmao,, it was a second monitor but still...
Levy saying RUclips puts a lot of ads on these videos.
Me clicking and seeing that there’s not a single one 🤣

Magnus playing in tal's style is called the authentic romantic chess!
As a Dutch person I can say: I’ve never heard a foreigner pronounce Wijk aan Zee so fluent. You nailed it, just as this episode again 💪🏼
there is absolutely no one on this planet who converts chess and learning into entertainment like you Levy! It is just awesome to watch❤️ I learn, I laugh, I have a great time.
Hands down!
23:35 That one time I was actully watching the video, he says come back to the tab.
When you watch 20 minutes and Levy starts yelling at you.😢😢
I'm glad that you are showing the Challengers' games as well, unlike other RUclipsrs who are only focusing on the Masters' section.
I love how Levi is getting better at pronouncing Krzysztof from recap to recap
RUclips didn't give me single ad from start to Magnus, FYI - honestly, amazing commentary, first time I ever watched one of these, but I missed Tata this morning due to work and this was great to watch over dinner.
“Bishop b4 has been played before”. Nice
7:34 "he played his first open spanish before van foreest was born"
So he was beating players in open spanishes when van foreest was doing pipi in his pampers
Once or twice I complaint about too many adds, but today were none in the video.
Your videos got me from 400 to 600 in 2 weeks it is so awesome to see improvement
Rapport: "Who needs the Bongcloud if the king could travel the whole board and win the game anyways"
I love how Levy tries to pronounce every single name with a easter-european accent. Especially when pronouncing Van Foreest lol
25:48 best part i love about his videos 😂😂😂
24:25
Magnus watching the video:
🤨
There's pretty nice strategy to make Magnus Carlsen draw:

Dear Levi, HOW DARE YOU?!!! I'm watching the WHOLE thing and you still yell at me?! Well, that is LUDICROUS :D
"that didn't happen because the players are better than u and I" 😂😂 it got me good...
The last one was sick!
You were right when you said, “that’s why they’re playing and we’re watching” 😂
I laughed so hard at that hahaha
I was wondering today, at what point in a game do you think super GMs start having a big edge over 24-2500 players, if everyone know lots of openings?
10:12 could someone explain this whole sequence please? i dont understand why black didnt take the knight on d4 and then took Kf7 with the rook and not the bishop
25:48 you can't stop me!
i love you also showing the challenger games. I find them quite interesting
Levy I just realized you get your hoodies from Gap because I have that exact one actually
I thought for sure you were going to say “the most handsome man in chess and Jorden Van Foreest” in regards to the Shakhriyar v Jorden game
2022 is off to a violent start! 💢
Awesome recaps, nothing comes close sir! I also love how you shout at those that skip to Magnus straight away! :)
Me sitting on my 20 minute break at work trying to watch the magnus recap, skips ahead to hear how disappointed levi is in me for skipping the rest 😢
Some random chess f-g : came here just for Magnus's game
that guy : skips to Magnus's game
Levy : *SCANDINAVIAN SWEAR*
Not only Magnus Carlson, last video's pin of shame was violent too. Glad Levy pinned a positive comment today.
“As you can tell, this guy is a proud owner of the GothamChess E4 course”
Coming here to watch your comedy, chess is always second😂
21:17 - oh, the good, old Polish Immortal
Could you include the Evo-bar, I am to low to know when who is better, this would make your recap better I believe...

I like to go to the end just to see Levy's anger at whoever skips the video, so I go back to the beginning and watch the full video. It's very funny.
In my defense, I only skip ahead when I'm at work and I rewatch the full video after work...
That’s exactly what I need: Stockfish ingestion.
the mic cuting out around 25:20 really confused me

this magnus game is like a master martial artist tying their right arm and still beating your ass one handed
Happy New Year 2022 !
Thank you for covering this. Your recaps are excellent. Keep up the great work, Levy!
23:37 damn you caught me
12:59 knight D5 loses the pawn, since rook takes and knight can't defend (check). Queen could take, and lose queen so…
You thinking I hung mate in 1 twice.
Me(400): you think I think more than 1 move ahead 🤣
Why do I love when Levy tells me to get out of here lol
Jumping straight to the Magnus game? Guilty as charged.
Even in a draw Magnus played some madman chess. I'm not sure if those sacrifices were sound. It's more like "ha I'm so good you can't refute it"
The Nils - Magnus game was so fun to watch. Amazing stuff
"Van Foreest... Arguably the most handsome chess player in the world" That's when ~Aryan Tari~ took it personal
I myself find Duda to have something very intriguing going on.
misheard lyrics ... every time Levy announces a match of Duda, I am hearing "Young Krzysztof Duda" ... which makes him sound kinda cute ...
You have officialy posted 690 videos....and congrats on soo much great work
