when you actually get gm, the title should be like "i lost my title..." or something because you'll lose your IM title and replace it.

If Levy ever makes GM, that should be the only time in this series where he doesn't put "GM" in the title

[@MenloMarseilles]

My guess is that it'll be some variant of "it's over", "no more classical", "last video", etc.

I mean to be fair, there’s no way he can be gm at this moment since he has no norms and I’m sure you know that, it’s kinda obvious it’s not real

Unsubbing, this is annoying. Put a real title if you want viewers over the age of 14. EDIT: obviously I didn't get clickbaited thinking this was levy's 3rd GM norm. I just wish Levy respected the audience enough to just title it, yknow, "Road to GM: 1000GM Invitational, Round 8/9 vs Kretchetov". but sure w/e pin of shame. im owned im so owned.

GM is the only title that matters.

@@TheNeilBlack Forty years ago it was a whole lot less common. There were only 260 awarded by 1984. Back in 1950 when there were only 27 FIDE GM's, being one of the less than 100 IM's was a lot more impressive.

[@Man-wn5si]

Hi levy, do you think you could keep the eval bar off on more of these road to GM videos? I really think it's better while I'm thinking about the position to not see the bar as well, it helps me think of why moves would be good or not.

[@TunaBagels]

25:55 Fellow anxious person here. Part of the random intrusive thoughts is always going to be lack of sleep & physical activity. These IM tourneys with two games a day look absolutely grueling, never mind the fact that instead of going home and resting and doing some light activity, you're going home and making recap videos. It makes sense that these thoughts appear more often in the last few games of such intense events. Amazing performance despite the mental exhaustion!

I'm glad that the h-pawn became a mating threat after overextending it early. I was nervous that you were so down on time. But you kept a solid position throughout the game which created self-doubt in your opponent. Well done.

I always like it when you turn the eval bar off. It's a useful tool, but everyone reads way too much into it.
