[@sudowtf]

Levy’s road to GM has quickly become my favourite chess content. Forget openings, theory and recaps. Seeing a person set goals, train and achieve those goals is something that inspires me and many others I’d think. Can’t wait until we see GM Levy terrorising tournaments either online or OTB!

[@Blandge]

Same here. The struggle is more entertaining and relatable than watching Hikaru or Magnus beating other super GMs.

[@brimmed]

Agreed. I stopped watching a while back when he was focusing on meme content. This is much more interesting to me and want to see him succeed

[@ThiefOfNavarre]

​@@brimmedAbsolutely, same. It's a breath of fresh air

@@Blandge Agreed

Three norms and 150 elo in a single tournament is insane. Levy's the goat fr

[@FlyingLine]

@@damianich4824 The tournament didn't even meet the requirements for GM norms but they gave Levy all 3 norms anyway because he's him

[@BruceMcFarling]

@@damianich4824 You can't get 3 GM norms in an IM norm tournament, but as Hikaru has explained, Levy's challenge is not getting three GM norms, it's getting the rating points, so really, +150 ELO over the board is critical.
