[@antonlushankin9568]

I said once and I say it again. You're an incerdibely undestanding, compassionate and insightful person, the only one Levy truly deserves. Keep on with good work, coach!

Please use the exposure Levy is giving you to boost your channel, you really deserve it. Thanks for the commentary

[@Dennizzz119]

I believe he is up approx. 5k subs this tournament alone. Would be nice of levy drops his channel some time on a video.

[@Stormtrooper-li1je]

Ok haki

It worked. I subbed

A pity he wasn't responding when people commented on his channel

[@GMNeiksans]

6:25 " I'm not sure if I would play h3" Levy " I stopped to think what my coach would do, I played h3"

[@mihagolod2393]

I know it is a joke, but technically Levy was talking about the move g3 which GM Neiksans very much approved in this video. Although still Levy really liked his move h3.

[@Chilldude_101]

@@mihagolod2393 oh I just mixed that up then

[@jussiklemetti3709]

I never thought I'd watch an over the board game at the actual pace of the game, but your commentary made it very interesting. Hopefully you can do this for other tournaments too.

[@seheyt]

Are you referring to another video this is a recap

[@tengu5628]

​@@seheytI think he's talking about the live stream

[@endunry]

Crazy how coach still looks so young after all these games

[@TheGeorgeall]

Your commentary for this tournament was phenomenal. Easiest Subscribe of my life. Keep up the great work Arturs.

[@Funnerailles]

It was so fun to watch you commentate the games. Thank you ! Also, 9:52 "Nf6 is just cooler, and Leby is cool of course" had me laughing so hard !

[@roben-jv5fx]

ive never thought i could watch a full classical match without being bored but i watched the entire tournament because of your commentary so thank you

[@SomeRandomSrn]

As a person who is also from Latvia, i watched every single stream without regretting any second of it. I genuinely adore your energy and understanding of the game. You made me actually be interested in the game for hours. Paldies!

[@curtisholsinger6023]

Your coaching and care for your student AND for your student's viewers/fan club was exemplary. You were patient, kind, and made a point of telling us when we the comment section were going too far - and for the most part, people were listening. That is really really difficult to do. I subscribed with your game 7 breakdown and i look forward to all your future recaps. I'll also take a look at your lesson plans. Do you coach rank amateurs? Regardless. Wonderful stuff, GM Arturs. We see your hard working paying off with Levy's games and play style. Kg2 followed by Pawn to h3 made that SUPER clear. Thank you for being here :)

[@theyruinedyoutubeagain]

Discovering this guy has been the best part of Levy's recent resurgence

[@walker68175]

Brother is the flash

[@BardyYasha]

Man, being a coach really favors your ability to content creation, you heard this a gazillion times by now but your commentary is for sure really really good and explains very well the positions! Congrats to you and Levy on this victory!

[@turtledog8488]

Really enjoyed the commentary on stream.

[@Eswar.]

One of the best commentator in the world

[@Top_burger]

Hey Mr. Neiksans. Thanks for the amazing commentary looking forward for more!

[@efe563_]

love the commentary man, and the live streams where i checked in every now and then.

[@BryanHo]

I think Levy's turned the corner with that crazy sacrifice win from before and now this very masterfully played game. Wonderful commentary as usual.

[@williamburdon6993]

You have a great understanding of Levy and you two have a great chemistry, I am amazed at how well your insight, has changed his attitude for the games. I know he knows how much you have helped him and will continue to help. I feel sorry for Alberto, he is a great player, he is just a warrior and he likes battles , I'm sure he could have, on a different day, done much better playing one of his pet lines, but he went for a shootout and lost. I saw a recap of the game and they gave some advice on trying to find tournaments with old guys with a foot in the grave to get norms from, it disgusts me, I know that both you and Levy would never consider that approach, it is only a worthwhile title ,if it is won in true battle. I hope that person can see that and make some changes to their thinking, otherwise life is just an empty bottle, that was once filled with promise. Levy has been doing great for the short time you have been working together, I would expect that one tournament in the future , he will have a terrible experience ,when nothing goes right, and he wonders if he has wasted all that time for nothing, I hope he is prepared for that , because if he can weather that storm, it usually puts the real players over the last hurdles and they reach their true potential. Best of luck to both of you, I also look forward to watching your future games.

[@captainclean1056]

You know at first I wasn't sure how I felt about your commentary but after watching it for a whole tournament I can definitely say you are one of the best out there and it's pretty much as entertaining as Danya. Keep up the great streams and recaps! Wishing you much success in the future.

[@spnhm34]

It’s clear how happy you are with this performance as a coach. Congratulations to you both. Reflect back but only look forward. Onwards and upwards …

[@pax1913]

There's something magical in watching a master of whatever field talking about their passion like you do, Mr. Neiksans! Best wishes on your next steps of the journey with Levy!

[@tommonk7651]

Your work with Levy is really showing. Tremendous job!

[@joeldinkins2370]

I really appreciated you doing coverage for the event! You were great!

[@Dezza2241]

On the first or second game you discussed the story about how you and Levy met and how you ended up coaching him. It was a simple but very warm story that really showed you cared about his results in this journey. Loving the live commentary and recaps you've done an amazing job on both. Looking forward to end of August for more live otb commentary

[@taRhooP]

THE PEOPLE’s COACH! I’ve really enjoyed listening to your commentary and recaps during this tournament. Looking forward to the next one!

[@brantnuttall]

you're brilliant. I'm so glad Levy picked you as his coach!

[@chesslover8491]

Thank you for helping Levy.

[@pdomckenzie]

Levy seemed very comfortable on the white side of that Maroczy type structure. Something to think about for future opening choices perhaps.

[@kayanamascha]

Good work, coach ! You were a voice in his head giving him comments and sparring with him while the game was on. As a teacher, I think that’s the best thing we can offer to a student. ❤

[@alphajake]

Great job on the commentary, it was fun and can't wait for the next tournament.

[@randysmith8515]

Thank you for all of your excellent chess commentary in this round and during each of the rounds of this tournament, Arturs.

[@timeisnotaline]

Coach, it was an absolute pleasure watching these games with your commentary. I hope you had as much fun as we all did, and hope to see you back on the call next time!

[@chobo9724]

Can definitely see the effects of your coaching in this game! And your commentary has been great to watch through the whole tounament.

[@engwannabeincan7383]

Can I just say Arturs that I have really enjoyed your 40plus hours of commentary on Levy’s games, and your great recaps of each game! You have given Levy that extra bit of belief in himself he needed to beat GMs, and look at today’s game. He played better against the GM than he did against the lower rated players he drew with! Please keep up the great live commentaries and recaps!

[@zTeaTheCoffee]

I really loved your commentary this tournament, you're extremely insightful. Watching the streams and your recaps has been awesome, you're exactly the type of coach I wish I had access to

[@warmthonthesoul]

I've loved your commentary this whole tournament. Thank you! You did a brilliant job and it was fascinating to listen to your expertise. Looking forward to seeing much more of you in future.

[@Kpchanneler]

Thank you for all the commentary done during levy’s tournament!

[@yeetusdeletus2681]

i normally dont really watch live matches, but you made it so informative, fun, passionate, you have my sub, and cant wait until you commentate next

[@crusader6283]

“Nf6 is just cooler, and levy’s cool of course so he took on f6.”

[@uekchan]

A top 10(5 if there are too many draws) moments would be amazing for each of these tournaments going forward. Good idea for content

[@Chicken_of_Bristol]

Pretty clear from watching this tournament and Levy's own recap of this game that your coaching has been a really positive impact on his mentality and mindset. Old Levy would have very likely gone on tilt after some disappointing games this tournament and would have never played this well at the end. Your commentary on the livestreams has also been really fun to watch, I hope to watch some more on Levy's GM journey.

[@mtjskzm]

Nice job in the streams and nice job working with Levy through the tournament. It seems that somewhere in there he got into a slump and in his recap today he was talking about he was thinking of what you said and what would you do in this game, which clearly worked. Excellent job GM Neiksans! Thank you for keeping the dream alive

[@CyanGM]

I remember you showing your Queen's indian game vs Alberto David on stream a few weeks back. Funny that he plays your student so soon after.

[@DanAnderson-Luxford]

really enjoying the commentary! genuine and high quality content. Also seeing how invested you are in Levy is so great to watch. Keep it up

Levy has an opening course on that system by black. I am sure he wasn't out of prep at the start, he actually teaches those lines for black.

[@vivi412a8nl]

Coach's commentary also got better game after game. Enjoyed the tourney, thanks coach

[@sirkoondog]

Great commentary. Love the new voice.

[@Joperu78]

First game where I see a true GM spirit all over the game: Adapting your opening where your opponent takes you out of prep, mastering the middle game and managing opponent tricks playing Qg7+. Really Really an impressive win, I must say.

[@abhioj4466]

I never thought I'd all these streams, i only watched because of you 😂❤

COACH, let's create a series " Chess Beginner to Advanced". You go on from openings to Middle games to endgames + your insights etc . If you post consistently we might reach 100k soon❤ Being a consumer I can tell if the thumbnail and video quality is high + if you ask levy to tell his subscribers about your series you will blow because many newbies like me also follow him

Oh yaaaa e5, bishop g6, queen g6, knight f6.. i was the guy saying queen c3 but ya u found the correct order

[@MusicPlaylistsChannel]

@Arturs Hi coach! After today's game I believe Levy attending tournaments where he mostly faces older "overrated" titled players, over young underrated players, can play to his benefits😉 Also he talked about how he was affected by jetlag, maybe arrive at the event a few days earlier? Best of luck!

[@NJDJ1986]

Way to go Levy!

[@matteoraffaelevacca238]

Did Levy gain a norm?

[@mnm1273]

No, he would have needed to play three grandmasters (33% of played games), had a performance rating of 2600+ (plus a few other conditions). I think he did neither

[@strategicsage7694]

No, he wasn't close to that.
