Oh my god Tani is so charismatic, He has such a good screen presence for a 12-year-old if he wanted, he could probobly rival Hikaru and Gotham in KZbin.

[@ramachandra776]

Levy and Danny preparing Tani for tougher challenges ahead . 🙂 . Tani is sure to make GM at this rate .

[@TomTom-rh5gk]

But Levy never will.

[@joaocurado5277]

​@@TomTom-rh5gklevy is just that guy who is really good but cant be bothered to try getting gm cuz he gains so much money creating content.

[@meciocio]

@@joaocurado5277 he can't get to gm even if he wanted im is his peak

[@joaocurado5277]

@@meciocio he just needs prep and some pills for stress and he is gm lvl

[@meciocio]

@@joaocurado5277 he is not gm level and it's literally impossible to improve at the age he has of 27 (and don't bring the ben finegold example, ben was already gm elo points strenght since 20 but he just couldn't bother to travel through europe to get the required norms)

[@luckylakor2603]

Damn, i supported a fundraiser for this kid a few years ago and totally forgot over time. Im so flashed and happy to see him right now in one of your videos, so glad he kept pursuing his career

the fact u edited his head going over the board at 1:39 makes this vid already better and more exciting to watch

I went back to watch that a second time. Props to the editors!

[@Yurgaloo]

Dude Tani seems like a fun kid to be around honestly, amazing player but wasn't afraid to play fun moves on the board too

[@karonjipelik6648]

Levy going insane

[@fyyoky8082]

"Levy playing like a gm" - title idea

[@peeeez]

Damn what a cool kid. Wish him the best!

[@chrisoliver4663]

Levy underestimates himself too much, dude is a damn fine player.

[@luisitogonzales3169]

Even if levy shows to us he is not that confident with his chess, We should not forget that this guy is an international master, with a peak rating of 2400+.

[@D34ThL1VeS]

Levy’s been playing great lately. Fun games

[@kennethtyson7808]

Good to see such a great player giving the kid a shot. The kid has a lot of charisma! He is fortunate to get a chance to play against Levy. Such matches will surely improve his game.

[@calxee6743]

Tani going for fist bump while Levy going for handshake was absolutely amazing

[@kermitadkins9498]

This kids got a very, very bright future. Look forward to seeing where he gets to.

[@hunterwashere6242]

Congrats to Levy for the wins and well played by Tani

[@dupiglupi2355]

10:50 "see how confidently i played it everyone was confused even me"

[@a11pu1poj]

that edit of Danny looking over the overlayed board was so unnecessary lmaooo. Tani is a monster.

[@anonimos1251]

Good job both of you Levy and Congrats to Tani he plays very well

[@Tx66]

can we talk about that next level editing happening at 1:39

[@forrestrichard8133]

This kid is just chatting and making jokes while totally whooping Levy. Amazing.

[@ajcon3874]

OK, but it’s Levy.

[@nobodyharder6575]

I mean Levy almost adopted him but ok

[@RipVanWinkle1899s]

Levy whooped him

[@judemorales4U]

Nice share! Tani has such potential.

[@lakshan622]

Leviy lowkey pointing out that he's a better coach than whoever is coaching Tani😂

[@nobodyharder6575]

Not necessarily, he's just a better player than Tani. For now.

[@verde2918]

Tani is going to be a grandmaster and a chess host as well

[@bizarrapmusic]

lmao, i love this kid he's really funny and his playing is amazing.

Tani plays very well, at a young age too, respect man!

[@fromthedepths4428]

Game 3: I guess Levy learned from Ben Finegold "always sac the exchange."

[@CalvinCharmicael]

"They got slightly blinded by your shirt" lmao

[@anujshastri1458]

I really thought Levi lost against Tani overall, because of the video he posted on his own channel.
