@Ford-Anglia when you have good enough players, that tiny disparity is all it takes. At the 500 level you can be +5 and it may as well be equal. At the 1200 level you can be +1.5 and it may as well be equal. By the time you get to the GM level, being + 0.3 is damn near worth resigning bc these players are so hood that they will be able to win a game with that tiny advantage
@@jacobgeist6580 Yes, but Stockfish isn't measuring the advantage depending on what your elo is, it's measuring at a GM+ level. So if we take into account that it is measuring at a GM+ level, then yes, it is 0.1 for GM's. Also, I don't think GM's are good enough to warrant their opponent to resign after getting a +0.3 advantage, but I can definitely see it in my head.
When anxiety isn’t an obstacle for Levy, his instincts and Chess experience really show. Also, there’s something so satisfying about Hikaru being so encouraging about Levy’s play within this game despite his prior result. I miss when they used to have their viewers battle it out while they spectated.
Watching Gotham for a few years now, I 100% agree with saying he gets lost in overcomplicating things - thus being better when there are less good moves And I'm also really happy he played with his instincts. I always wanted him to play for GM like he doesn't give a hell about winning. Most of the recaps he did were like 'I wanted to play this move, which turns out to be the best move but...' He feels what to do, but doubts himself and does things that are worse for him
@@nicolaebanu2345I can't believe you give out timestamps only for it to be completely inaccurate. I'll take responsibility for all the chess fans and actually give the proper time stamp. 19:38 is the actual time Hikaru stops talking, do better, I'm very disappointed in you 😠
Even though Levy has not had the result hes wanted Im still very proud of him for mainting his composure and still trying i believe he can be a grandmother
Hikaru, a man who has become one of the best players in one of the most sophisticated competitive scenes... Says the most out of pocket sus items with such a straight face and unfazed demeanor that I have to take a double take at least 2-3 times in a recap
Your "ToDAAAAAAY" signature video opening it both awesome and trademark. I first "met" you watching classic, over the board tournaments knowing you were one of the very top Blitz and shorter game players in the world. I thought you were ALWAYS only a very serious person. I was wrong. I find so many top chess players are a blast to watch and listen! I think your videos are extremely entertaining and appreciate how fast you cover the moves and options.
Lowkey, Papa Nak, Headmaster at the School of Hard Naks, really glad his errant pupil finally got a win so he can feel like he ain't bullying the lad just by recapping this brutal tourney.
I'm always looking for the checkmate near the end; but I'm so far behind in calculation the forced checkmate is where the analysis stops. And then I sit there and try to figure out why it's a forced checkmate while everyone has already walked away from the board. I'm sticking with it though!
I wonder how is the preparation of Hikaru is going as the SCC semi finals are just 4 days away, Alireza is looking in good position. Hikaru will need to focus more on 5+1 and 3+1 cause he won't be able to capitalise much against Ali in 1+1 like he does when playing with others. Wishing Hikaru Good luck for the upcoming matches.
The age of Levy milking Magnus is over. The time of Hikaru milking Levy has come.
mmmhhhmmm~ milking
That sounds wrong in so many aspects.
uh, what?
Ayo what? 💀
Guys, by milking he means "content", milking content, don't think anything wrong 💀
Bros pre-moving Levy's game review as if he's Hikaru 💀
Yeah this nakumara guy really thinks he's hikaru

Hikaru: "And his opponent blunders with an absolutely ATROCIOUS move, just completely TERRIBLE and loses on the spot"
The eval: +0.1
this is what counts as atrocious at gm level
@@alphaundpinsel2431what? If the eval is +0.1, it’s +0.1 at the GM level.

I like that Hikaru seems much more excited to do recaps when Levy wins versus when he’s struggling. Makes
sense?

Levy farms Hikaru for Content so Hikaru farms Levy for content. The circle of Chess is complete.

Damn Hikaru even got Levy's intro on point 😂
Yeah, I actually laughed out loud when I got what he was doing lmao
Genius 👌
The thumbnails as well lol
Camera turned off and Levy wins. Pressure is real!
Exactly. Tip of the hat to the coach on that one.
Playing for fun he was able to beat hans. Dealing with pressure seems to be the big thing holding him back from becoming gm imo
@@MCvicRPG did you expect levy to win every match in his journey to gm? Sometimes you win sometimes you lose, its all part of the journey.

Hikaru should start all the Levy recaps with “Ladies and gentlemen”
The Camera Gambit worked greatly!

1:04 not fienCHEETOS😭😂
Yep, cheese dust all over the bishops
Idk why but im happy for levy. Having hikaru go over your games gotta be pretty cool for him
Hikaru at the start of the video: 😐
Hikaru 5 seconds later: “Welcome back everyone :D”
this arc of Levi grinding to grandmaster was so epic lmfao
I am a chess novice and this is amazing. Inject this chess wisdom into my veins.
It would be awesome to see Hikaru vs Levy in an OTB tournament, then do live commentary on his own win.
Wouldn't really be fun, Levy would be slaughtered
Levy finally got a comeback this round! congrats Levy! 👏👏
Now I’m always wondering if you will do that og intro or not. Chess players can fck with your mind !
UNO reverse hikaru is teaching like levy and levy is playing like hikaru

Hikaru wishes he could be a future world champion like rising star Levi Rozman
4:36 I also noticed that black may be a bit better, looking at the eval bar
Hikaru went out of his way to reinforce praise to Levy's performance, an encouragement at a time when it is much needed. Nice!

Credit to levy for pulling out a win with a horrible wvent
Nice of you to cheer Levy on after stating that he'll never become a GM. Thanks for the game analysis!
I really like these type of videos where you cover someone else's match that's lower rating and explain it to us like we're 5 years old.
These Levy updates are probably the best thing that has happened for chess in a long time.
Just started playing chess this year, these openings hurt my head lol
It used to be Levy farming GMs, now GMs are farming Levy
We need bongcloud!!!
Levy finding Qb3 was the best of the whole game !
You know Levy is close when even Hikaru is thumbnailing like him
wow, this sentiment feel kinda wonderful, everyone rooting for levy, i hope he can get the norm in this tournament
Glad that Level got a win. It has been a tough tournament for him.
Hikaru said Levy’s prolly never going to be a master
Lets go Levy!
Talented junior from NY? Where have we seen that before, Levy and Hikaru?
I love it when Hikaru call the piece by its correct name "Horse".
Lowkey, Papa Nak, Headmaster at the School of Hard Naks, really glad his errant pupil finally got a win so he can feel like he ain't bullying the lad just by recapping this brutal tourney.
When your favorite boss is rooting for your favorite underdogs in chess: the Dark Knight and the Pawn Wonder!
Waiting on Magnus's counter move to prove that he's just as good as commentating since this dropped. Jiraya vs. Orochimaru vibes
I hope Levy continues paying in Tournaments to see Hikaru's Analyses.
9:26 you can see that hikaru is proud of Levy 😂😂😂
Im going to my first tournament this month and watching you helps me a lot, i dont get bored, and I learn many things.
It's nice to see Hikaru at his home studio.
Levy has been brave and gallant.
Im waiting for the moment levy becomes a GM! it feels like everyday when he puts GM in the title of his videos!
Great video! And also good luck Levy!
Ngl Levy is pretty much the posterchild of online chess like how ohne is for counterstrike
I don't watch that much chess tho so correct me if im wrong
This is so cool, I just watched levy's video on "magnus Carlson's favorite opening" about this opening.
What's weird is, I'm pretty sure levy said to play a4 to prevent b5. Why didn't he do that ?
somebody count how many times he said liam putnam
Glad Liam found that Na4 blunder. Levy deserves some good luck 🤞
0:01 never gets old👴🏿
14:51 this proves that chess is nearly impossible for someone like me 😂

Good job Levy, you needed that win. So did I.
I think it would be more fun to discover what re result will be be watching through the whole video than to know it from the titles imo
What a friendship hikaru and levy😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🙈🙏👍💖💖💖
The switch up is crazy
Hi Hikaru, i love your game analysis, the best of YT imo. You make everything clearer even for a noob like me! GG to Levy!
finally Levy won with brillian move Bishop d6.
Congrats to Levy!!!
Sac the ROOOK!
'suddenly' has become the new 'just'
i love the awkward stare and silence in the first second of your vids xdd its so funny

Nice play by Levy, so many best moves played
I like hikaru, not lying I started player class because of seeing hikaru pre move and Magnus accuracy
wait hold up did he just say trade the towers 6:19
Good piece coordination by Levy here!
GO LEVY GO GO!
Thank you for the prompt update. ✨Imagine GM Nakamura commenting your games when aspiring to a GM norm...!
