20 Brilliant Moves.

[@mrmagmacube6332]

Levy: A move I can't even begin to explain Also Levy: explains the move in detail

[@hayhorca915]

Happens every time lol

[@iotajones1311]

I was just coming to put a comment related to this, but I'll just throw it here cause it'll surely be appreciated. Just after the first 2 mins: Levy: "[...] it's not to allow a queen's gambit for whatever reason" Also Levy: "And the reason is that nowadays [...]"

[@JustAnotherCommenter]

happens to me every time

[@Akshar177]

because he can not find the idea that super GMs does. he needs an engine to know what is the idea after analyzing the top engine moves with th help of engine

[@noahmartinez7088]

@@Akshar177I don’t understand, are you saying normal people are playing super GM moves or are you just bashing him for not being in the top 1% of chess players?

[@krishead2410]

Kramnik is suspicious of this game too

[@SecureSnowball]

Anand is older than Kramnik 🤯

[@Yayaisbadatchess]

Levy recommends an opening for 2000+ Me as a 700: “hmm.. interesting…”

[@MozartAmadeus-fm5dd]

@RaniaIsAwesomeActually, even at my level (2100 fide) you still need to know theory, especially in sharp lines, like the king's indian, or the najdorf

[@pauls5745]

hoping this would get me great games like this but I got mated on move 13

[@chesscrush]

​@@MozartAmadeus-fm5ddMost of the times yeah but not always. I'm 2170 FIDE and played against a 2500 IM with white against the Najdorf. Played the lesser known Be2 line knew almost nothing except a few moves and got a completely winning position in ~20 moves. I lost afterwords cuz he's almmost a GM and I was nervous af but still if I had kept my nerves in check (pun intended) I would have won.

[@jalontf2]

Me with the Amazon Attack: _intredasting_

[@prodmoira]

At that level the opening really doesn't matter just try not to blunder early play solid and wait for your opponent to mess up

[@dRAFTsTAMP42]

Levy never fails to be done once a week

[@COLDB33R]

He is in a metaphysical state of permanent done-ness.

[@David168Plays]

Some say levy finishes once a week

[@NotNagruf]

"Im done" 😂

[@aphschl4347]

tbf he's done with a video almost every day

[@RichardHoffmann-n7o]

For a chess player, that's very frequent

[@MyNameMojo]

Me playing a 700: oh nice he hung his knight! Playing a 2000+: oh god no, why did he hang his night what is he planning!

[@KS-sj9ve]

Levy being done is a weekly occurrence

[@frimnpi7473]

i wonder who's doing him everytime

[@Kira28720]

@@frimnpi7473 probably Lucy

[@Axiomatic75]

He's done then he takes a look at his income and decides he's not done after all

[@FishMonger849]

But now he’s finished

[@JustAnotherCommenter]

ppl keeping him hostage are who were doing him

[@majormoron605]

Imagine being on the receiving end of that... When your opponent just "hangs" piece after piece, you prbly want to just walk away from the board

[@anywhywho]

This is so unfair, when three of my pieces are hanging, all I get is blunder punctuation.

[@thebeatless90]

Anand at the height of his powers was something to behold. I remember vividly following his WCC match vs Topalov. A true titan of the game.

[@YoutubeChannel-rg2sb]

Dude loses a rook and the evaluation doesn't change at all.

[@dificulttocure]

Cuz that rook was irrelevant to the attack he was relying on, he didn't really lost anything

[@TheMosayat]

These sacrifices were INSANE. I started laughing out loud after the 3rd brilliant move. Can't fuckin imagine how aronian felt seeing those moves

[@zooble6977]

I creamed all over my screen

[@shawnmichaels568]

Anand's knight the whole time: "I'm untouchable"

[@shawnmichaels568]

Unfortunately, There was no Rook sacrifice so we can't hear levy screaming the Rook.

[@ianstopher9111]

TAKE MY ROOK!!!

[@phillipstilianidis1931]

Unfortunately

[@pierrecurie]

He let that rook be taken by a knight, so it was a sac at some level.

[@shyless6526]

There was a rook sac but not a very beautiful one, because it wasn't moved at all

[@fadhlullahmustapha9834]

HE SACRIFICEE THE ROOOOK!😂😂😂😂IN LEVY'S VOICE

[@MeestLoL]

Dude, I just want to know how you got so good at public speaking. I swear you talk so naturally and without mistakes or filler words

[@Roberto-nn6kb]

easy to overlook that, until you try to record yourself talking about something

[@bluebosnian]

same

[@lennox2565]

Levy has improved his speech rapidly in the last two years. There was a lot of repetition and white noise in early videos. It takes significant effort to notice and correct those speech patterns

[@oneup12]

Like everything else lots of practice, I used to be real bad at things like this, I got a sales job and after a year of constant work I have no issues speaking to anyone for basically any reason

[@I2ed3ye]

Just casually pulling out an extremely accurate boxing caricature out of nowhere

[@joekrause7346]

He did chessboxing a few days ago so he's probably still fresh off of that.

[@Yusuf_K7]

I like how the engine only realises the brilliancy afterward.

[@gameandhike5844]

14:25 “If you move the bishop you lose the queen”. You also hang mate in 1…

[@4RILDIGITAL]

It's fascinating to witness the depth and brilliance of Anand's strategies, truly a masterpiece. This commentary brought the game to life and underlined the genius of Anand's gameplay.

[@ahmadkoudsi8519]

14:25 not only we loose the queen it’s mate on f1

[@ahmadkoudsi8519]

I don’t think he can do anything right

[@Calvin3c]

Timestamps to save 15 minutes. Brilliant move # 1 ( 10:52 ) Brilliant move # 2 ( 13:31 ) Brilliant move # 3 ( 15:43 ) Brilliant move # 3 ( 21:10 )

Props for levy for showing us how to do a squad.

[@thxkurxd9066]

Vishy definitely traumatized Levon in this game

Holy cow! 🐮 This game was crazy! Could have tryed to find moves like Bc5 and Ne5 for hours and wouldnt find them. What a beautiful game.

[@Suranda68]

--> 13:35 bishop c5 --> me: WTF 🤪

I like how depressed and amazed levy gets at the same time while watching 2 GMs play

As much as I enjoy the content released by Gotham, I have to agree with a comment from a couple of videos ago saying that the content has become repetitive and boring. I enjoy deep dives into games like these, games played by Anand and Nezmitdenov, however there is a human limit to how much a person enjoys this content. That's just my opinion on the matter, Thank you Gotham for the effort that you put into these videos.❤

[@shankrl1]

"Magnus, Hikaru, myself and that's it" ..... ummmmm got bad news for ya bro

I think Vishy should he considered when discussing who might be the greatest chess player of all time.

“People who know Magnus, Hikaru, myself and that’s it” 😂😂 Deadpans this joke like a seasoned pro.

[@THEKKBEAS]

“In this position, he sacrificed the ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK!!!!!!!!!!!”

[@GOLDIOS999]

I think Levi's Mental stability is very unstable as he calls -300 elo chess "I'm done" and also 54 old grandpa's game also as "I'm done" I play better not flexing

[@dificulttocure]

I love how all the brilliant moves always look like low impact plays at best and horrible blunders at worst

[@hollywoodbb]

I just got checkmated by Martin. I think I might throw up.

[@kaidoChess]

14:34 for those who didn’t understand, levy was referring to *Deez Knights*

[@nbeqo]

Semi-Slav = The light-squared Bishop is inside the pawn chain Slav = The light-squared Bishop is outside the pawn chain

[@LevelUpChess]

Thank you Levy! THIS...This is why Levy is the greatest chess commentator on youtube. 💪 Levy recommends a new line to me as black, and reminds me why even in highly strategic openings you should NEVER fall asleep at the wheel...all while with great command of the english language. Pure entertainment. Bishop c5 is pure insanity. Vishy was from the Kasparov era...and while it was clearly home prep. Bc5 was an absolute MONSTER move. Wow.

[@marshallthompson3155]

“I can’t even begin to explain that move” Begins explaining that move

[@dansgaminglab4482]

With the position @ 14:18 there was a much faster mating idea with: Qb2+ Rxb2 Nc2# Granted after Qb8 the king can take but the above was also possible.

[@tristanmayfield4851]

It would be cool to have a series of "immortal games" from different players over the years.

[@aakashmaroti9918]

As a child, I used to watch Vishy's games and think, "How can he use those knights so devastatingly?" I still watch his games and think the same. Love these videos.

[@t7r2]

Whenever levy tells us to find the move I just look for the most stupid looking move and sometimes I'm right

[@myth_snipe7737]

i didnt saw other brilliant moves but i did saw the last one disconnecting the queen with pawn by bishop being 1300 elo(I found it because he said their was one brilliant move in it)

Slav is squating full foot down, Semi-slav is squating with heels off the ground Hope this clears it up @gothamchess

One thing I learned after subbing for a few months and reading the comments is that Levy NEVER fails.

[@b4ljxsh]

14:23 Umm..Levy if Bf3 its mate on f1

[@JudahRosen-o8e]

Levy: chess strength doesnt necessarily correspond to intelligence Also Levy: Chess is the greatest way of determining intellectual dominance

[@ericement6568]

Your ability to make an exciting story out of a chess game deserves a lot more praise. You didn't even had to scream about rooks. Respect

[@Zwaydi]

13:03 my natural move was Nc3 forking the king and queen XD took me a solid minute before realising the bishop would take

[@Bones08_02]

We have never seen Levy and GothamChess in the same room

[@bertsiimon2879]

Hi Levy! I have studied 0 chess theory but was always fascinated by the game and developed a style for what I later discovered to be King's Indian and with that opening alone I've reached 1200 solely from listening to your guidelines to reading the board, thank you!

[@johnstahl3256]

I don't think Levy's heels touched the ground.

There's a reason why he is 5 times world champion

Yk you become better when u see the idea of a brilliant, before Levy shows it

[@apollyon1]

This is jazz chess. There’s structure, but it breaks every rule.

[@PistisAdelphos]

Knew knight was jumping into e5, only because that looks absolutely horrible and at first glance looks like the worst possible move. Then it got played, and the realization sets in, thats why I'm a table 500 player.

If your knight, bishop and rook are already hanging, you might as well just park another knight right in front of two opponent's pawns, got it. He can't take them all at once.
