These two guys saved my sanity during the pandemic. I had cabin fever and I rediscovered chess. Their successes, in each of their journeys, motivate and inspire me in my journey just to get to 1700-1800. Maybe in 5 years I can break 2000. Good luck to both of them.

At this point we're milking Levy for content more than the cow in Anna's opening

[@BigDawgCAM]

I see it as a major sign of respect

[@MC-ep8cu]

Tbf. It's so easy for levy to sit back in peanut gallery and milk hikaru and magnus. Nice that levy is putting himself on the line and actually giving hikaru a chance to farm some content back

[@Kasserole1]

He better be a gm this time

[@raylopez99]

It might be tough...as Hikaru said, this was an easy tournament and not necessarily typical.

[@plothaki]

Hes not

[@sillyking1991]

to be clear, in order to get GM levy needs 1. to get 3 GM norms (which requires that he performs at a particular level in certain very specific tournaments). he currently has 0 norms. 2. achieve a FIDE rating of 2500, he's currently somewhere around 2350. im telling you this so you know that levy needs to compete at least 3 tournaments (this one didn't count, he couldn't have won a norm here) before he even has a chance of getting GM. so at least for the next few months its always going to be clickbait. levy is at or near GM level in terms of skill. but he's got quite a ways to go in terms of officially proving it. and im willing to bet when he does earn any norms, as well as when hits 2500, they'll likely be rather vocal about it.

[@GrumpyDynamo]

​@@sillyking1991once he gets gm norms it will get easier for him since they also give extra rating points for norms

[@DonkasaurusNZ]

These video titles and thumbnails make it seem like he’s close or at least on his way to becoming GM - he’s not.

[@rbae]

This time's welcome back was especially welcome 🎉

Bro at this point, with all that milking, hikaru has to start to upload those on adult websides😭😭

[@AndrewPlayz-qn6dn]

4:39 "levy built a BBC"😂😂😂😂😂

[@buzzsburner.8286]

hikaru is even doing the patented "levy stares at the camera for two whole seconds before saying anything at the start of a video" thing

[@alexandervignettes9537]

Cant wait for levys recap on hikaru recapping levy

[@MaxIronsThird]

8:10 Hikaru has started to pay attention to what he's saying ever since Levy dropped his 5th round recap and was throwing shade at Hikaru at every opportunity.

[@MrMarcec85]

I think that he was a bit stressed... and yeah, probably having heard that piece of info from the "lie detector" video was not fun. Hikaru look at chess from the Top, it's like attending a Master at Harvard... that s also one of the reasons he is a sGM. And probably Levy should start to do this step in order to improve.

[@asogee5198]

I love how Hikaru also does the thousand yard stare at the beginning of the video, just like Levy :D

[@voiceofreason9238]

I find this reporting style by Hikaru interesting. The great thing about sports is you don't know how things will turn out until the game is played. Good for Levy for the win and good for Hikaru for his expert analysis and insights.

[@conjurermast]

Making videos like this one is the most efficient way to coach Levy. Maybe it's not very probable that Levy would make it to 2500 in the current chess climate. (2300-2400 rated players are a lot stronger than 20 years ago & there has been some rating deflation going on since 2017-2020-ish ) I just think since the dude is doing Chess full time and is clearly the best he had ever been, with this much help & enough persistence he may just make it. (and it would be a story for the ages)

[@unstoppable3peat]

He adopted the titles

[@andrepoon]

Imagine having an idol… make friends with him… and hearing your idol say you will never make life goal. Hikaru…. You need to work on your EQ. You are likely going to be a father one day. You have to change. Levi looks up to you. He worships you. Your words are powerful and you have a huge responsibility for them. (This is not the way. I have concerns.)

[@nxyn9209]

Today's stare is a 8/10. Bit awkward but recovered. Not yet on the level of Grand matriarch Levy.

[@ThousandTroops]

Going to want to be very careful calling that the Big Black Center and certainly never make that acronym (4:43) 😂😂

[@tim1210]

11:47 white: "no, you can't checkmate me, I declare resignation"

[@Romial34]

I think Hikaru can see into the future and makes these videos before Levy finishes his game.

[@user-oq5dr1hb7g]

He pre-moved it a little too soon tho

[@trendingvines08]

Bro your t shirt is awesome your looking good in it ❤

[@deadcrushz]

we were REALLY welcome on this one

[@novusvoss]

I slowly got to 1400 rating in rapid, I have roughly 2k games. I never studied chess, never memorized nothing apart from two openings, I'm not doing puzzles. Every half a year or so I suddenly have a rating drop of 200 points and I keep losing to people that used to be no problem and it drives me nuts because I have a competitive nature. It's like I'm suddenly 10% dumber than before. I make stupid blunders every game. It's really frustrating and kinda ruins the game for me, as this happened several times before. If anyone can relate or has tips I'd appreciate it.

[@loki3179]

Levy uses Magnus as Clickbait. Now Hikaru uses Levy as Click wit. I can't wait to see Magnus have his own YT channel to see him use Hikaru as his Clickbait.

[@ferdinandcarangelo9279]

How many times does Hikaru say BBC (Big Black Center) 💀

[@brianconlogue1302]

Man Hikaru really likes levy. I love his advice at the end. Levy did need some confidence. I hope levy realizes with all his hours of making classes and creating content. He does have have the skills to become a GM. Just has to be confident in his moves. Levy does know a lot of theory and he needs to use that to his advantage and not get into time trouble. If he was confident in his moves and always put his opponent on time trouble I really think he could get his norms.

[@Bokertko]

Hikaru's 10th video in a row, in the past week, about Levy with his name in the title. Major back of the restaurant - sit down- handshake vibes after the lie detector video came out. I think they came up with a resolution where Hikaru doesn't have to go on a permanent vacation

[@MOORE4U2]

I love how Gothamesque these titles are getting. Maybe the thumbnails too, I don't see them.

[@Calboyblue]

Hikaru is farming views while Levy is farming elo. What a duo.

2:55 Hikaru is so humble, he called himself a 2700 GM even though he is 2800.

[@markhathaway9456]

That variation worked out well for Levy. I suspect he enjoyed that game as much or more than any of the others.

Thanks for all the recaps Hikaru. Levy's mindset has changed so drastically, if he can just tighten up his precision a bit I reckon he can get that GM title for sure

[@Ziv_arish]

Levy Rozman!!!🥳🥳

[@bobbynygaardchrisitansen6874]

I wouldn't call his opening a surprise weapon as Levy has a lot of videos stating that he thinks c5 is best against the advanced variation. Even I cannot surprise anyone with that move in 1400-1600 range.

[@jeroenneve5807]

No wonder Levy's opponents crumble. They know that game will get analysed by GM Hikaru Nakamura.

[@maleperson2449]

I think Hikaru feels bad after the lie detector test for saying Levy can't be a gm haha

[@salmalov3scats]

The intro is literally iconic 🤧 ❤

[@DanFrederiksen]

According to GPT the 2500 rating only has to be achieved momentarily and in no particular order so if it can be farmed it's a bit against the spirit of the label but he'll probably take it :) The GM norms he will have to perform to but he was very close recently. It might ultimately be easier to find that next level insight such that it's not a struggle but a breeze. Maybe a mix. The virtuosity and speed by which Levy comments on games and runs lines in his head to me seems like he should at least be able to eke out a GM title. I mean if Kramnik can, anyone can do it.
