[@ciahartsrodrigues8823]

Barely nobody remembers when he beat Hikaru, not even himself

[@name6771]

Probably not,since he has made a video about it

[@eliasvonbrille]

I mean, I figure most ppl know this clip. I have seen it a long time ago. It's not like it didn't make waves.

[@lookatmydab1482]

He mentions it in his Google interview

[@gusryan]

Kinda cringe if you go around bragging about a single blitz game even if it is Hikaru

[@eliasvonbrille]

@@gusryan Why? Are you telling me that is not a tell of Skill? How many ppl would ever win a Blitz Game vs Hikaru? Even given a hundred trys (which levy didn't have)? Kinda cringe to downplay the achievement of someone else for absolutely no reason. And btw where did he even "brag" ? At this point I am just confused what you are talking anout

[@PapiGordo5360]

how hilarious is it that the game vs Hans and the game vs Alireza are the same opening for a good number of moves. Levy likes this Caro position

[@fghpowa1578]

well thats partf of the reason he wins because they are arrogant and knowingly play „his“ opening and also overestimate themselves

[@torch-eh7ti]

@fghpowa1578 Arrogant feels like a pretty negative way to say that. Grandmasters, too, like have a little fun.

[@fernando4959]

@@fghpowa1578 it's not even a bad opening though, how "arrogant" could it be? if it was like bongcloud maybe

[@charadr33murr]

⁠@@torch-eh7tiHans literally called himself arrogant as that game was going on

[@torch-eh7ti]

@@charadr33murr You got me. Why has that guy got to be so weird?!

[@sammythemc]

The contrast between Hans and Levy's reactions to the matchup was so funny, Hans is stressed out the entire time about the audience of tens of thousands of people who are going to see the game and Levy's just like "...what about Rh2?" until he finds out who he was playing

[@muckshorts5513]

if levy was playing a 2000 he would also be stressed. it hard knowing you lost to someone several hundred elo worse than you

[@ciahartsrodrigues8823]

The craziest one is definitely the game against Firouzja, it was against all odds. Definitely the toughest game. Plus, we all love horse conventions

[@bigpro3090]

Where can I find that game....like is it on Gotham Games or something...?

[@TightKnights]

@@bigpro3090 Yep! It's titled "Levy Beats Alireza Firouzja"

[@TightKnights]

Agreed, that was my favorite one too :)

[@zacharysherry2910]

"Horse convention" 😂😂😂😂

[@user-ry6cz3vs6g]

nobody is talking about how levy is 11-17 against firuja

[@OpticIlluzhion]

To be fair that is in hyperbullet which is... definitely something

[@starmorpheus]

@@OpticIlluzhionStill. Not as bad as it could be

[@strek45]

A lot of them when Ali was still a kid

[@feranmiadeakin9850]

Most of them when Ali was still. Mostly an IM

[@WildBear_2013]

He beat him when Alireza was a baby in Hyperbullet probably

[@Boritoman76]

It's like Levy SNAPPED this year, he's literally going Godmode.

[@zooble6977]

this is an old school gotham fan video, great work

[@nebulaxz6929]

This classical music makes it perfect

[@joeysingingchannel]

very soothing.

[@dgmullin1]

Is it AI Generated classical music?

[@noobbkao]

What’s the music called

[@torch-eh7ti]

It's probably not AI since It's very cohesive with reocurring themes, which AI can struggle with.

[@dgmullin1]

@@torch-eh7ti I'm saying as a musician / composer, there were some odd sequences that didn't seem natural.

[@ivo28182]

His reaction to beating Alireza lol, bro is speechless at himself

[@sheonyx]

this was a horrible way to find out i'm older than alireza firouzja. good job gotham

[@halfbee7886]

The horse convention 😂

[@TightKnights]

😂😂

[@josephtattum6365]

The background music is delightful

[@Sandfox07]

Thank you, this is a very nice video! Great Background music, not too loud, also you show the full game which I really apreciate, as well as Gothams commentary 😊

[@mrexists5400]

Saw a video if the Hans game with both their perspectives, Hans was very focused on GothamChess, but Levy was focused on playing chess

[@iceyroo]

Magnus you’re next!

[@TightKnights]

Magnus has been real quiet since Levy started hiding opponents' names during games.

[@user-ry6cz3vs6g]

@@TightKnights he beated magnus once , magnus trolled and then got cooked, but it counts😁

[@TightKnights]

@@user-ry6cz3vs6ghehe, that was an Aprils Fools joke by Levy. But maybe one day in the future, he might actually get one, you never know :)

[@eliasvonbrille]

​@@user-ry6cz3vs6g You fell for it 😂

[@AM_-wg1hj]

The funny thing is that Eric Rosen still has a positive score against Magnus, he beat him years ago in bullet titled arena and also chess960

[@noobbkao]

The music is very delightful for the speechless scene. We all felt how happy was him with that

[@Chessheromusic]

Wow this the best I've seen him play All the work is paying off

[@SchmillyTV]

Should've included the Dominguez game as well

[@TheNitrohurrikane4]

Levy is the people's champ

[@chessdragon007]

Watch him beat Fabiano next

[@stark1ll]

Loved the video but in the last game we needed to see more of what happened

[@mirokunova999]

The fact that the twitch viewers were typing hi KZbin tough😅

[@Miguell25]

are there any other IMs with wins over super gms?

[@madsin6516]

plenty of times in titled tuesdays by many IMs

[@rudolphschmidt313]

Bruh

[@barspinoza]

Rare in classical time controls. But happens often in bullet and blitz games.

[@Zwellop]

Yoseph Taher and Renato Terry are really good at blitz

[@Chessplayer81837]

Obviously 🤦‍♂️

[@ThisIsThatOnePerson]

Apparently my comment was deleted but before you changed the outro song the "full moon" one what was that one called? It sounded really good.

[@TightKnights]

The music is AI generated

[@askthepizzaguy]

I have seen a lot of people do chess content badly. Usually with wacky "extreme" editing and not even showing the whole board and distracting sounds and bad commentary, trying to trick you into thinking what you're watching is exciting even though you don't understand it fully. This is different, I can see the chess happening, the edits are tasteful, even the background music selection is great, and I usually hate music distracting from the game. Let the chess itself be the content we come to see. Somehow you are actually adding something to the chess content. As a heavy skeptic of editing the footage at all, if someone is going to do it, I feel you're doing it right. I'm a tough critic. This is a rare thumbs up from me. You should see the sea of "radical way cool" chess content creators I have in my list of channels not to recommend to me anymore, it's a graveyard.

[@sbrynjelsen]

Is no one asking why Levy has turned into a super GM recently?

[@lol-yz8fh]

he's always had the chess skill just not the self confidence

[@SenseiThat]

Let's not get ahead of ourselves..he def has the potential but he isn't Super GM level​@@lol-yz8fh

[@kokonut5498]

I think he has an extension that hides his opponent's profile during the match which is better in psychological terms

[@ameron1766]

​@@SenseiThathoshino?!

[@5gearz]

He needs the rating of 2800 in USCF or FIDE chess I think and 3 grandmaster norms

[@user-kz5sj7xi9d]

Kramnik moment

[@kuckkuckrotmg]

Secretly all those gm's are losing on purpose so levy will eventually become a gm

[@lorax2076]

Isn’t Hikaru said Levy has skill for become a gm, but he lack confident?

[@niom-nx7kb]

SHOW US THE ROOK SAC

[@johndotcue]

Never play the Caro-kann against Levy lol

[@rajeshshah2804]

Leavy beat Vidit too in a tt..

[@genesis_blizzard]

He beat Vidit once too

[@adityakumarshrivastav6271]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="112">1:52</a> wtf happened glitch

[@takyc7883]

who tf edits these videos and speeds through the most important parts of each game

[@TightKnights]

I try to include as many critical moments as possible, while keeping the video concise and entertaining. If you’d like to watch the games in their entirety, you can always look them up.

[@CheckersonBautista-ls2zt]

what is the background music's name?

[@TightKnights]

I wish I had the exact name for you. It's an old audio I had saved titled "Baroque Concerto: Piano, Violin, und Flute". I'll update if I find the exact piece!

[@asagoldsmith3328]

I can't identify it but it does sound similar to some of Luigi Boccherini's work. May want to check him out!

[@Tyttebaer]

Hans is considered a super GM now? 😂

[@garymcpake1136]

In live ratings he's over 2700, and not for the first time, so yeah

[@abdallahhakeem5185]

And Hans had beat Magnus with the whole buzzing beads situation too

[@usemeasdislikebutton420]

Hans is number 30 in the world

[@tengu8560]

2700 players are super gms. You are stupid beyond redemption let me guess your rating is 400

[@ILoveAOC]

Wow, Levy is quite the cringelord when he plays. Wow, everybody was right.
