@@SalientLamprophany that's how you learn though, through mistakes, also, if you're not playing against people then what's the point of even playing chess?
@@eldiglett The funny thing is, him going through the games, I don't see a difference between his skill and his opponents. That could be because I'm weaker than him, but it could also be that he does have to work on his mentality. I'm sure he'll do that.
Nicolas has the GM skill, the GM elo, 2 GM norms, needed to win to clinch the third(6/8 now and only needs bone draw), and he had white pieces. No shame in loosing under this circumstance, surely.
The way I see it there's no shame in losing in chess against anyone, well ok if you lose to a 800 rated player and you're a GM there's shame there but you get what I mean, anyone can hallucinate a move, blunder at an unfortunate moment, lose focus etc. It's kind of what's awesome about the game ^^
Apart from that elo ratings are pretty good at calculating chess strength. So the outcome would be pretty much obvious. I have no recollection of a guy who's 2500+ elo and can't get the needed GM norms to get the official GM title.
There are many takes on this I like. Hikaru "what's that" or "can he do that?" Chessbrah Eric "is this theory" Hansen "is this theory?" Eric Rosen "there's a funny line here."
I've been a teacher for 20 years and I promise you that you learn the most by teaching. The more you teach us and share your thoughts with us the better you will get!!!
This is a common misconception... you don't learn just by teaching. You learn through all the prep and questions you get from your students. Teaching is good at facilitating learning, but it's not necessarily the cause of it. I've seen plenty of 'veteran' teachers who are are in exactly the same place as when they started 20 years ago because they don't put in that extra work.
The issue is that he doesn’t teach gm level chess to us he teaches 1000 level chess. That’s like saying you can become a nuclear physicist by teaching 10th grade physics
@@SomeRandomDevOpsGuy It's not a total misconception though. I'm a student and for me "teaching" my peers sometimes result in me clarifying my own doubts and weak concepts somehow. Moreover, there have been several instances when I thought I knew a concept well but after attempting to teach it to a peer, I realized I infact didn't know that concept. So it does certainly help. But you're right that it can never ever come close to substituting sheer practice and theory learning. It's more like a super active form of retrospection.
@@84y87 It is 100% a misconception. And demonstrably so. Just like how those that teach, rarely tend to be the best in their field. So... no offence to any teacher out there, but just because they share knowledge, doesn't mean they share good knowledge or let's say 'the best' knowledge. In fact, even worse, a lot of teachers are kind of bad at teaching (I've seen plenty of teachers try and only maybe two or three ever managed to really get students invested in the subject they taught, versus 100+ teachers that bored people to death. ie. not a good ratio and this is a pretty universal issue) and many are not actually up to speed about what's going on in the commercial world or at the cutting edge of their field. The analogy about expecting a 10th grade physics teacher to somehow, after years of teaching low level stuff, to become a knowledgeable person on the subject of nuclear physics is a very accurate one. Such an expectation... with lack of a friendlier but accurate word, is stupid.
I'm glad you're not too frustrated with the game Levy. It really was a solid game from you with a lot of really tough positions. The fact that you're playing tough with GMs and players who are beating GMs is unbelievably cool and fun to watch. Road to GM is going to be a long one, but we're gonna be with you all the way, and it's real nice to see that it looks like you will be too.
Ginger GM a.k.a. Simon Williams once said something which may be some advice for you: "If you are playing someone higher rated, sometimes it is a good idea to throw all your pieces at his king.". He once beat Boris Gelfand with a very aggressive classical Dutch Defense in 20 moves while obviously knowing that he was a stronger player than him. You said it yourself already in this video, that you don't have the mindset yet and are thinking more about the defense in some situations in which you could be the one attacking. Either way, I'm sure you'll figure it out as you play in more tournaments. Keep up the good work, you're doing great
Hey Levy. Glad to know that you are holding on. We are with you. It doesn't matter if you lose or draw. For us it is a win. You are the goat. This tournament has to be an experience, and it's totally okay to be frustrated, but your fans are with you. ~ Yours sincerely, A 600 rated bozo.
I found out about Nikolas since Gotham played him in Las Vegas. So glad he finally claims the GM title, Greece is celebrating and how fortunate to be covered in such fashion from my youtube obsession over the last year, Gotham!
Despite the fact that it's not Levy, it's still thrilling to witness someone turn from IM to GM, it gives a odd confidence that it will happen to Levy as well one day!
As happy as I am to see a fellow Greek almost getting his GM title, I have to SCREAM that , we, your fans, see greatness in you, Levy. And this is why we keep busting your nuts and nag you to get the GM title since forever xD. Now, the important thing in life is to never give up. Take whatever transpired lightly, use this experience to grow, keep going forward AND ALWAYS, ALWAYS HAVE FUN PLAYING CHESS. Much love from the European Union
Chess engines don't understand chess in the sense that chess is not just crunching positions. There is psychology, there is fatigue, there is stress... human chess is limited by our computation power and is based on intuition more than just computing one millions moves per seconds. The engine is correct, but it doesn't understand any of these. Is like saying that a calculator understand maths, sure they can compute 5000 digit of pi in one second and I don't, but the calculator still has no idea of what is a circle.
@@RosarioLeonardi I am well aware that engines calculate perfectly and don't take into consideration the human factor. But they are correct and they do understand chess, it is us, humans, who don't understand it well enough. It's like a 5 year old, or 800 rated person, says a GM doesn't understand chess because of course he would not play crazy good GM moves.
@@IVANOsijek007 Of course the chess engines understand chess. It's just that Levy means in the context of a game played by humans. If a human played the top engine move for one move, sometimes it would be okay, but sometimes it would be impossible to defend because it's very aggressive - in short, to play the top engine move in a position, you need the skills to back up that move or else it will all fall apart. Even Magnus Carlsen plays Alpha-zero style moves that he can't back up, and subsequently loses the game.
Theodorou is a freaking strong GM-level player, so neither did Levy lost or draw - its all okay. Next tournament youll be way better! Just keep grinding
Levy, please don't stop the grind towards GM! This is super instructive AND you'll become a legend when you reach GM while documenting it this thoroughly!
I’m just so pumped that you’re doing this. You hooked me with your rating guide at the start because of how concisely you explained your moves while playing 3/2 blitz. The content you’ve made since then is great, but these recaps are so much more personal than all of that, and put into perspective just how much you’ve put into this game. Wish I could hug you, man. This is inspiring stuff. Keep up the good work.
Really enjoyable content Levy. It's been the highlight of my chess this week. You are the lowest rated in the tournament and make these videos after every match and went this far undefeated even though it took from your preperations. That just shows how f*ggin awesome you are.
You're able to draw GMs while being focused for the most part of the year creating content and building a 1mil subscriber channel. Give it another year or so of intense training and you'll be able to get those GM norms. We believe in you Levy!
Levy. I like how you are self motivated and take these hits and use them to push you forward. As a guy with no real ability in chess myself, I still think you have some of the best content on RUclips, and listen with intent to learn constantly. Please, keep it going and stay positive! We are rooting for you.
That was a great battle vs a strong player! Literally on the brink of breaking through! Every game has been well played. Mega excited to watch this journey unfold.
I love these instant reports on your own tournament games. Nothing else simultaneously pleases both my analysis-brain and my storytelling-brain quite as much.
Mah boi, please, cheer up. You're the most chess loving, hard working, charismatic, witty and self conscious chess persona we know. If you don't become a GM, no one will.
Man, despite the result, what you are doing is completely ground breaking. It is definitely amazing to go through this journey with you. Just everything. The preparation, the game, the analysis, the mental rollercoaster. Do you realize that most of us would never know how the game is really played at this level if it wasn't for you? Thank you man, just thank you. You're amazing.
@@milankotevski1663 I want you to thoroughly research the infamous thread between Brendan Sullivan and Robert Graves.

The fact that you instead learn from it is one of the big reasons, why you are such an amazing couch, as you are an amazing couch to yourself.
Levy's analysis is so interesting and a real eye opener. This is a unique look at what it takes to play chess at the top level. Thank you for doing this; few, if any, other professional chess players would.
Levy, don't take this defeat to your heart!! You fought like a tiger in ALL of your games and it is just a momentary lapse of chance. Even your draws are pieces of great fight, so, for me this tournament will be the key in your future successes. You know, Romania had a great soccer team years ago and the trainer who built it always said: "We need to learn to score at least one more goal then our opponents". There were many defeats with this strategy, but learning how to attack pushed that team to win Europe's Champions League in 1987, against every odds possible. You're on a good path, even if you don't feel it!! Great job Levy!!
Hearing “I’m not at that level yet." from you changed my perspective on how to improve in chess. That "yet" though, very humbling, you'll get that title soon!
I was watching Hikaru's coverage, and he pretty much had the same reaction as you with regards to the levels of play. Now that we've got one game left, thanks for the great insights into your pro games. Looking forward to the next one!
@@CK-jd6yf no it was live on his twitch. It's probably not gonna be on RUclips since it's a classical game and he was doing other stuff in between moves.
Be kind to yourself Levy. You've lifted up so many and deserve the very best. It will come. We feel your trajectory. I have multiple sclerosis and for years needed to do monotonous memory exercises to prevent mental degradation. I played chess as a child, only knowing how to move pieces. After seeing one of your videos, and loving it, I 'lent' into chess. Over time this has taken the place of my memory exercises, with the approval of my doctors, and I'm sharper than I've been in years. I started 18 months ago with a rating of around 500, and just broke 1050 from just watching your videos. You are an inspiration powerhouse that has had a real impact on my life. Thank you and stay strong brother.
Wonderful recap showing exact moments where a Super GM would wipe the board with the opposing virtual GM, and moments where a strong IM hesitates and falls. I think Elo rating system would be very practical in many other competitive games and sports. You cannot hide from it.

It's ok for him to think he's not on their level yet. His best chess is in front of him, he knows it. We'll be seeing him get his GM norms in no time!
Blundering against a player rated 216 points higher than you while low on time is not something to be ashamed of.

Levy's analysis is so interesting and a real eye opener. This is a unique look at what it takes to play chess at the top level. Thank you for doing this; few, if any, other professional chess players would.
Levy, don't take this defeat to your heart!! You fought like a tiger in ALL of your games and it is just a momentary lapse of chance. Even your draws are pieces of great fight, so, for me this tournament will be the key in your future successes. You know, Romania had a great soccer team years ago and the trainer who built it always said: "We need to learn to score at least one more goal then our opponents". There were many defeats with this strategy, but learning how to attack pushed that team to win Europe's Champions League in 1987, against every odds possible. You're on a good path, even if you don't feel it!! Great job Levy!!
Still love these videos. Theo is a rough matchup.
Hearing “I’m not at that level yet." from you changed my perspective on how to improve in chess. That "yet" though, very humbling, you'll get that title soon!
Im still excpecting a win from u but if u dont get it its still amazing u drew these gms sooo all in all gj levy and i hope u get the gm title one day
He did aldready win one right??
@@TheMonteGrey nope
I think he drew 6 and lost 2, correct me if I'm wrong
you can tell he is quite upset for making a single blunder that kills him
We need a recap with only Russian accent that would be hilarious
@GothamChess I think the tournament shows one important thing: it's NOT just about opening prep, you have to focus your energy on other things.
I was watching Hikaru's coverage, and he pretty much had the same reaction as you with regards to the levels of play. Now that we've got one game left, thanks for the great insights into your pro games. Looking forward to the next one!
where did he cover it? is it on youtube?
@@CK-jd6yf no it was live on his twitch. It's probably not gonna be on RUclips since it's a classical game and he was doing other stuff in between moves.
@@aamiw99 ah dang it. thanks for the info
@@CK-jd6yf he's also covering the Levy game right now along with the Norway Chess games if you're interested.
@@aamiw99 oh thats great. I just got home from work to watch. Thanks for notifying me.
Hits like this are the ones we learn from the most. Winning all the time is not how improve. Loving the journey, Levy.
I really appreciate that Levy can admit that he isn’t quite at that level. It will just make it that much more satisfying when he becomes GM
Be kind to yourself Levy. You've lifted up so many and deserve the very best. It will come. We feel your trajectory. I have multiple sclerosis and for years needed to do monotonous memory exercises to prevent mental degradation. I played chess as a child, only knowing how to move pieces. After seeing one of your videos, and loving it, I 'lent' into chess. Over time this has taken the place of my memory exercises, with the approval of my doctors, and I'm sharper than I've been in years. I started 18 months ago with a rating of around 500, and just broke 1050 from just watching your videos. You are an inspiration powerhouse that has had a real impact on my life. Thank you and stay strong brother.
Your doing great levy keep up the grind!!
Wonderful recap showing exact moments where a Super GM would wipe the board with the opposing virtual GM, and moments where a strong IM hesitates and falls. I think Elo rating system would be very practical in many other competitive games and sports. You cannot hide from it.
Where’s the next one :((
