Oh man, you weren't kidding about those Grischuk interviews. "Am I satisfied? I mean it was okay, I slept for half the game. Then I wake up and I only have six minutes"
I've been thinking about yesterday and I actually think players would be able to give their spot to Ding Liren. Not because they "give" them their spot, but because FIDE takes in replacements based on rating.
Well, Ding Liren would CLEARLY be the next guy up if I'm not mistaken, assuming they don't have any reason to pick someone based on a different . . . something. In other words, it seems like they *should* have Ding Liren as the "replacement" in that scenario unless some other factors are at play.
One of the things I love about Gotham is that he is totally independent, butt i find his content more entertaining and intriguing than the most shows on cable tv. How does one streamer outdo a whole network? I think its his passion for the game, and his realness as a person. keep it up Gotham!
He did play in candidates.His playing style is a bit unorthodox.We are not sure which levon will show up in the games.Levon, Nepo, Duvob are sometimes too creative to win their games.
@@TheArmenianSolider65 I know that Soviets had Prioritised chess in their period and Soviet championship was said to be harder than WCC. surely Soviet-era had great chess culture.
That Levon v Keymer game was the definition of "there's levels to this sht". Keymer ist the greatest up and comer Germany had in this millenium but Levon is already at the level any young GM could aspire to get too.
I wouldn't be so harsh judging Keymer's potential... remember, he's currently playing chess part-time alongside school, while most of the young GMs around his age don't need to "waste time" on it. According to Kramnik (his trainer) it's really holding him back and he said in a recent interview that he's really excited about the progress he expects Vincent will be able to express once he graduates this year.
@@raffaeledivora9517 like not having school exams will make a difference lol Kramnik also said that they still have many holes in their playing style that they need to work on and experience to gain and btw the gentleman who wrote the comment was not harsh at all he literally described Keymer as Germanys greatest up and coming player
Levy, I love your videos - I watch them all, genuinely. Part of my favourite elements of the videos is being told, rightly, that I’d lose a winning position! Always makes me laugh, and is always true…but for the fact there’s no way I’d have gotten to that stage of the game without hanging many pieces beforehand. 😂 Also, I love when you allow yourself to give insight into what madness Stockfish offers up as an escape route. Not only is it fascinating and enlightening (if a little infuriating…”shut up computer”) - but it’s also really funny to see you plot out what it recommends…only to then get pissed at the absurdity of what it’s suggesting! Thanks a million for the videos - I’m knee deep in Covid at the moment, they’re keeping me sane. ❤️
20:43 constructing Alekhine’s gun to win the c file, beautiful If anyone wants to be technical, I know the queen’s not in the back but still it basically works the same way
It's really cool to see Levy correcting the way that he pronounces foreign words and names. As a Latin I find it a really respectful attitude towards other languages
Levy, you're awesome man. Could you give us a standings update after each match? I know I could just look em up but sometimes I'm behind and don't want the spoilers. Keep up the great content my dude.
I play the Caro-Kann so often that I’m starting to get vertigo whenever I see a Caro game from the White perspective. Which is unfortunate because I sometimes play e4 and thus occasionally *face* the Caro from White’s perspective…
21:42 when i was analysing french defense, the engine was saying a3 is best move. Not to mention a3 leads to some complicated game when both sides play the top moves.
27:55 with E4 the bishops trapped no? They could trade bishops on C4 but black gets doubled pawns, blacks rook can’t take the file as the knights not developed, am I missing something there? Or blacks bishop could take the E4 pawn, whites knight or pawn takes, maybe trade knights and whites dark sq bishop and queen open up there diagonals? Would love some constructive feedback on this idea
Thank you Levy for all you do in your videos man, your evolution has your prowess to commentate these games have been so much fun to watch. I don’t miss a video and yes, us true Gotham fans do watch the whole way through. May I suggest with these new lines when they are coming from the black side just to flip the board for that moment to see it from that pov. I’m sure I’m not the only that memorizes lines when we see it from the pov of our own end. Thanks again man ! 🙏🏼✨🤘🏼 I wish you nothing but continuous success sir!
Also, Levy, one other thing I wanted to ask; in the position shown at 36:00 after Bxf3 doesn't white still have Bc1? I mean, technically the resulting position is worse for white (pawn left on the edge of the board rather than near the center) than the position that was reached in the game but with the way the evaluation was worded it sounded like you couldn't allow that position at all.
For 33:03, what if a2 takes b3. Doesn't that open the a1 rook. also it is attacking the Black queen and the black rook on the a file. and the black queen can't protect the black rook.
I love how Gotham gets upset about yt comments everytime when he's absolutely hyped and kills the moment😂😂 And also... No.. the psychopath takes with the pawn made me laugh loud 😂😂 As always... Great job Gotham. Greets from Munich. ✌🏼
Whenever Levy says, "You'd lose this position, but not these players at this level," he's complimenting them, not trashing you, and he often likewise says, "I'd lose this position, but not them at this level." Just listen.
Since you are reading comments about Leinier's name pronunciation you should know that he was born in Cuba, not France so you really should pronounce the "r"at the end of his name.
hey Levi quick suggestion if u are allowed to it would be nice to implement some good moments from interviews after the reviews I would like that dynamic. keep up the good content
I enjoy so much with these recaps im feeling stronger player guessing a lot of moves after watching this and then im opening site make a game and dont know what to do after the opening . Chess is hard game
It sucks that Wojtaszek has missed some moves for the win in his games but at least he's definitely proven that he belongs at this tournament. Better luck to him in his rounds to come; he's playing some amazing chess!
Hey Levy.. your daily video is what I watch first thing everyday and I love your sarcasm and humor.. especially when you joke at the audience, please continue to do that man.. chess is hard and we all need your jokes my man
Excellent recap, highlighting salient moves, the side notes on missed moves are instructive but optional homework. A very exciting set of players that you are really spotlighting, go Hikaru. The chess gods will reward you Levy.
''visual travesty and yet is highly effective.. and very talented.. kind of like myself :)'' Spilled my water but worth it because that was just brilliant! :D
If I may, the proper spelling is "Lenier Domínguez Pérez", that's how Spanish indicates the syllable with the stress (in some cases, although 99% regular). Since the stress is on the next to the last syllable and it doesn't end with "s", "n" nor a vowel; you must put the accent mark. However, his name is stressed in the last syllable which ends with "r" so, no accent mark required.

Grischuk said he missed a5 I believe, so he didn’t see the rook is trapped, but it ended up ok cause he found rc1 later which kept things equal
Thanks for the spoiler

An absolute masterclass by Levon Aronian, a GM I feel like not enough people talk about.
it is because the dude is old he was one of the most talked about GMs for a looooong time but he is not as good as he was unfortunately
"Shame on you for feeling that way." Oh my god, I laughed so hard! That was the best belly laugh I've had in ages! Thank you, Levi. ;p

I play the Caro-Kann so often that I’m starting to get vertigo whenever I see a Caro game from the White perspective. Which is unfortunate because I sometimes play e4 and thus occasionally *face* the Caro from White’s perspective…
It's so enjoyable to watch your coverage of these games! Good job!

21:42 when i was analysing french defense, the engine was saying a3 is best move. Not to mention a3 leads to some complicated game when both sides play the top moves.
I like that Levy didn't put the eval for this video. It makes the game feel more human and realistic
You wanna go back to a time when Levon wasn't a top 10 player? You would have to go back to mid 2005! The consistency on this guy is insane...
18:10 I can't tell you how hard that joke made me laugh... in the office... at work. I DIED!!! Lovin the content, Levy. Keep it up! :)

It’s so fascinating that although chess has been around for a while, a new position can be reached in under ten moves.
