Was great catching up, Hikaru :)

It was indeed fun to watch this

Very entertaining to have an interview before an important tournament, similar to the Mango interview.

Gotham, when will you cover the GRENKE Chess open + classic? Are you going to interview players like Dina in the candidates.

@13:00 I've always liked Hikaru, but he starts talking here about selflessly giving back towards future bright chess players, (even sponsoring them himself) and I couldn't respect him more for that if I tried. Hats off to you, Hikaru.

[@milesreynolds4943]

So stoked for your match tomorrow... If you can hold a draw as black tomorrow or even push for more against Fabi will be a great start

[@andrewknadler4869]

Omg Hikaru’s answer about loving chess was such an honest answer and by the way the reason I love chess again it’s because of you two! So keep doing what you are doing! And good luck in the candidates

[@kennycampbell24]

Loved this style of content, I’d love to see this with all the top players

[@neko-chan6145]

great to hear about your career. you made chess more fun to watch having someone to cheer for because you have made a connection with your audience

[@garycarter6773]

Thank you for part 2 gentlemen!!!! A wonderful conversation! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@dandymcgee]

Really great interview from both sides. Awesome questions and awesome answers. Love a genuine Levy/Hikaru collab.

[@coleforfinski2515]

Great interview by both of you! Love both of your channels and content. Good luck in the Candidates Hikaru! And love the Barry Sanders shout. Go Lions!

[@turtlebaker17]

Just wanted to mention that Barry Sanders retired at age 31 not 36 or 37 as mentioned by Hikaru. A very young age with just over 1,400 yards shy of the all time rushing record.

[@jonathanhollenbeak9047]

I love how grandmasters show their insane memory. Busting out details of the scores on old games is crazy detail recall

[@jacklucas8411]

This is an amazing interview. I just want to keep listening and hearing that’s unique stories from hikaru. Good luck in the candidates ❤

[@malteseifyouplease6735]

Barry Sanders didn’t retire at age 36 or 37, he retired at 31 in his prime. He was 2 years younger than Magnus is now. Barry did amazing things with very little support around him. In that way, I think Hikaru would agree Barry is more like Bobby Fischer since Bobby’s accomplishments are even more astounding given that he had nowhere near the support structure of the Russian government chess juggernaut when he beat Spassky.

[@kidnicky7489]

I mean he had an amazing year in 97 but can you really say he was "in his prime" at 31. IDK. Football is not chess...

[@anates8060]

Pretty cool of Hikaru to take time from his candidates prep to interview Levy for us!

[@dmang0]

All the streaming content gives us amazing insight into the world of chess. Thanks Hikaru and Levy

[@Art.20Abs.4GG]

That was such a nice talk; I really enjoyed it :)

[@igingmd19]

OMG. I can watch these 2 gentlemen talk about chess and life all day, everyday. I hope this becomes a regular thing, a weekly podcast perhaps. Love it guys! Thanks!

[@whateverittakes1673]

Been following your games since 90s ICC "starwars" and "smallville" are what inspired me to play blitz and now 100000 games and 22 years later still looking after you Hikaru. Go be a champ. Just go do it like Nike told you to.

[@Nitidus]

Star Wars? Ist that some nickname for a chess thing or do you mean the actual game they played on-board the Millennium Falcon?

[@whateverittakes1673]

@@Nitidus IT was Hikaru's old handle on ICC or at least one of them. People were gathering to watch him since he was a kid. Crazy bullet and blitz games with everyone and crazy trash talk. Those games are still out there online somewhere.

[@Frank7489]

Love these 2!

[@WiseErni]

Great interview, guys! Now where's the 8 hour long podcast with both of you rambling on about everything from kinds of sushi to weather patterns in Florida or whatever? I would defenitely listen to it :D

[@KN-op3et]

Tiger Woods is also a cautionary tale in many aspects.

[@g3n3r1c6]

Can you provide context to this? I'm not too knowledgeable on golf.

[@ravecrab]

​@@g3n3r1c6He cheated on his wife and his personal life fell apart, and also he physically ruined his own body with injuries.

[@g3n3r1c6]

@ravecrab ah, that's... pretty bad. The extent of my knowledge was the Tiger Woods was basically the goat of golf, but I didn't know he threw it away like that.

[@PhilipStraughn]

Yeah, he kept having to have surgery because his swing was so violent and hard on his body.

Good luck Hikaru looking forward to meet you in Toronto.
