Naka calls it 'dark magic', Levy calls it 'cooking', Jospem calls it 'fast fingers', Naroditskyi calls it 'tricky openings', some others just have to call it 'everyone can win a TT' or a mere 'pure luck'. And the casino wins no matter what.
I can tell you concepts, moves, and ideas behind an opening such as the scotch even though I don't and have never played it, but I wouldn't say I know enough to play it. That's compounded at the master level. In Levy's mind, he doesn't have 15-20 moves of theory memorized in the position, so he doesn't know it.
People talk shit about the online blitz tournaments but the fact is that he’s consistently performing among the top 1 or 2 IMs and bottom 3 or so GMs every Titled Tuesday, and he’s beating around one GM per tournament, and getting a decent position against every GM he plays. He’s undoubtedly right on the cusp of making it happen, and I do think his fame works in his favor. Everyone who plays him knows that hundreds of thousands of people will be analyzing the game. That’s going to make lesser-known players (even GMs) play tight.
Agreed. If anything, the streamers that constantly stream and play blitz are actually better otb players then their ratings suggest. Hikki becoming #2 over the past year is evidence. Because he doesn't care he plays much more lose and can focus on the game instead of emotions
"Everyone who plays him knows that hundreds of thousands of people will be analyzing the game. That’s going to make lesser-known players (even GMs) play tight.": Levy doesn't see who the opponent is. Are you sure the opponent could see that he was playing Levy?
I wonder if he's able to do this in real life.. have his team train him without letting him know, than walk to the tournament looking towards the floor, shake hands without looking at the opponent, than use both hands to not look at who it is until the game is over...
@@o1-preview He doesn't know every gm in the world. He could just let someone else tell him what is seat number is, and then he would just sit down and play a game of chess
@@o1-previewHe doesn't need to, he just needs a few more wins like this. Once he's got the mindset that he can beat the best, he'll be able to beat the best.
@@OG_CK2018 yeah, true that, specially now after this hot start at this tournament, beating a gm, getting a tie with another one, beating a Im, and leading the tournament.. if levy is able to keep this up, he'll be a gm in no time
@@ALifeOfWine but idk about the beating the best part, its one thing to become a GM, its another thing to be top 100 in the world.. there are about 1800 gms in the world, so who knows!

5:34, there was a tactic before he pushed the g pawn, you could have pushed your own pawn and in the end the bishop would be pinning the knight to the rook
Two knights is soo underrated, and if your opponent trades off the knight on c3 it is even better because you can play the early queen skibiddy what the sigma attacks.
8:24 a7 is a blunder since black can keep checking along the 5th rank, the correct move would have been something like Rb7 to avoid it followed by a7 Rb8
@@nooby165 you cant take the rook because it will be a stalemate since his rook is invincible because of the stalemate, he can make a barrier on the 5th rank for the king to not cross on and the king will have to continously move dodging every check
An interesting opening, and the inspiration behind the creation of a new opening will always be interesting. Further along, I suppose the opening played some part but I couldn't see much of a difference in terms of material. During the final stage I had the belief that it was possible for your king to have taken the rook, like why didn't you? ... Okay, in the outro you explained the avoidance of a stalemate situation ... In that case, you played very carefully and with a bright awareness and this was a well deserved win. Congratulations, well done Levy 😎

Me: Why isn't he taking the free rook with king?
Me 2 seconds later: OH WTF THATS EVIL
I was like “what! he missed a free rook?” And seconds later I realize why he’s 2800 and I’m 400 🤣
it would be a draw lol he played to win
Lol it would have been a stalemate
Hey pretty lady!
8:45 bro went super Saiyan

now 25
@@chaosincursion first time it was 25 and second time it was 18
that killed me
the improvement already is crazy
The question that interests me here is: is this more about chess . . . or about psychology (?) We'll see, I guess . . .
A mix of both, but I think the extension blocking his opponents is really helping @@QED_
@@colecube8251 Yes, it seems so. I'd worry, however, that just playing games in this way is not enough . . .
@@QED_ very true
this guy's knowledge is insane, he unfortunetly crumbles under pressure but I believe he can make it
Normally but he's improving. He didn't lose his cool under pressure this game
The vidit inspired Ne2 move is crazy. Seemed to completely change the board dynamic
Rolled and smoked.................🦆
bro got the omni trix and became a duck 💀
So this is actually the duck opening.
The noise at 5:36 activated my fight or flight instincts
6:07 area is where levy locks the hell in
Levy the king of ducks lol 😂😂😂
‘I just gotta cook’ Levy is pretty fun to watch. I hope you hang on to that mindset.
9:41 "there's no crazy rook" 😂
So Levy decided to follow the common trend and become a talanted online FIDE master instead of a real GM. It's the opening, for sure. Especially, if you're sure in you middlegame.
bro really taking it seriously
Hell yeah! He came all this way (IM title), might as well go all the way.
Love to see it
So many ducks the end I thought i was watching a Donut Operator video
call ot the dobby opening ot the dobby variation
8:46 Bro really said: quack, quack, quack, quack
5:34, there was a tactic before he pushed the g pawn, you could have pushed your own pawn and in the end the bishop would be pinning the knight to the rook
he doesn’t have to take the pawn and the pawn is very weak since it’s pinned to the queen
He tried those brilliant rook sacrifice to stealmate at the end. Just Brillanteeeeee
Bros mindset is getting so much better
8:27 is there a reason for not taking the rook here? or did he just miss it under the time pressure?
Draw bait
@@Elyzeon. i just realized, if he takes, its stalemate...
seeing that stalemate tactic was crazy, went right over my head
@1:26 why king h1 instead of knight d4 instantly? He wouldn’t of been able to defend that pawn
Lol levy out here cussing like an illiterate momma😂
I can't believe the error at the end but he was under extreme time pressure. Oparin's a good player.
bro just quacked the hell out
Title wrong you beat 3003 .
k
yeah, reverse clickbait
2991 is a more attractive number
not 3003 anymore
How u know
"THIS ISN'T EVEN MY FINAL FORM."
🦆~~~[ Quack! Quack! Quack! ]
GUYS GUYS GUYS! You have to play this video at 50% speed, it sounds like Levy drank an entire bottle of scotch before starting the game. DO IT!
It don't matter who you're playing... Ya gotta cook!
5:17 his opponent played forGotham

Levy, just wanna say, your growth has been amazing, and even more than that, motivating. Your mindset and hunger for your goals is what i desire.
He probably felt bad for Levy and let him win 😂
Idk what the hell happened but like a month ago he completely changed and became really good like damn, is like he got the confidence from God. ❤
We love duck gotham
Lets goooo Levy succeeds again against GM!!
You beat a 3003 and not 2991 GM, Levy.
Bro played the only opening I know
"crazy rook"😂😂😂
YES SIRRRRRRRR! YES SIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! WE COOOOOOOOOKIN!
Two knights is soo underrated, and if your opponent trades off the knight on c3 it is even better because you can play the early queen skibiddy what the sigma attacks.
hes actually goated
GM Levy soon
Levy I have just crossed 1500 rapid. I was 600 (1 year ago) and 1500 now! You have been a huge inspiration!
GM LEVYYY
at @8:28 when hes checked by the rook, levy cannot take the rook because it would be a stalemate since the king and pawn cannot move?
🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆
8:24 a7 is a blunder since black can keep checking along the 5th rank, the correct move would have been something like Rb7 to avoid it followed by a7 Rb8
what are you talking about he moved perfectly to go for the win
@@nooby165 you cant take the rook because it will be a stalemate
since his rook is invincible because of the stalemate, he can make a barrier on the 5th rank for the king to not cross on and the king will have to continously move dodging every check
So ...Rf3+ is a blunder to, because it allows the king to run to the pawn?
He literally explained the winning idea is to go to b7 with the king after that, what are you talking about?
@@coloboquito I haven't analised with the engine but i guess so
Nothing at all in this world like a super happy Levy...holy DUCK DUCK DUCK DUCK DUCK ... was he happy. :D
GM GOTHAM! GM GOTHAM! GM GOTHAM!
he was over 3000 before losing to Levy tecnically
I’m not going to say he is weak, I thought he was only like 2600. Just remember Levy it’s mental, you have all of the ability to be a grandmaster
He says wooooo just like moistcritikal

Your editor on this one had me dying :)
isnt this the line on his first game of madrid tournament
4:56 i think that the point was that levy was threatening Qh5 and then Qxh7, so thats why he moved the pawn? im 800 elo so im asking
8:47 to 8:52 💀🙏

3:05 edge?
Grinding is all that matter
At 3-55 why not take the pawn with checkif the king goes to f8 then queen to g5 would that work followed by rook stacking
hey, was wondering how you hide the opponet's profile when playing? if anyone here knows, could you let me know?
idk why im rooting so hard for you levy but i am!!!
Whoa over 2800!
LFG LEVY
NICE!!! Good shit dude!
Hi Gotham you had a mate in three when you're clock was at 1: 26 and it was with queen and bishop
