[@DJStupacalypse]

Same. It's nice to see the better thought process in games that I'll see similar moves

[@ShabazzTBL]

Hearing the thought process is sooooooo much more important than just seeing the moves. I can look at a million GM games but if I don’t understand why they did what they did I’m not going to learn much. That’s why Danyas speed run is so good. My rating jumped up by over 200 rating points since I started watching him and I still think I’m a bit underrated because I keep losing to this 1700 rated dude but only after being in a completely dominant position and then just stop being careful because I just want to end it haha. So frustrating that I keep doing it after “learning my lesson”. Anyway I was also unrated before that due to not playing as many games but still from 1345 to 1568 since January. That’s good. I credit a lot to Danya.

I have ALWAYS wanted to see a series like this. It's great seeing grandmasters speedruns beating people from an equal position but I've always wanted to see how they would come back from a losing position.

[@SykoSparx]

I think why no one does it is it's less of an exercise of finding a way to forcibly take back the position and more of a play solidly and wait until the opponent blunders and respond correctly to blunders as demonstrated in this video. So really you're just watching someone figure out a way to lose a winning position.

[@thefireofthefox1]

Watch odds games

[@TheModeler99]

I think Hikaru does a lot of odds Speedruns (No queen, No rooks, All knights, only queen etc)

[@brianlam5847]

@@SykoSparx It's both. Weak players are susceptible to tactics that require a specific response to survive, AND slow improving moves that are solid and don't blunder while making it very hard to not blunder.

[@Krish_krish]

@@SykoSparx very true but that's the only way to come back from a losing position. A winning position is exactly that: winning. With best play the only result is a win, but coming back from a losing position inherently requires the opponent to make inaccuracies, mistakes and/or blunders.

This is extremely helpful for learning the game. Sure, some people wanna see swaps with Magnus/Hikaru/..., but seeing you take over in the middle game (which is usually the hardest part to play) is very insightful. It's coaching in the phase of the game where you most need it, it feels like.

[@campbell7504]

One thought: I think the guest should play the first 15 moves completely solo, without you in the room/watching. Then, they leave and you takeover. Adds an extra element of surprise and puzzle solving when you don't see how they got there and have to quickly analyze their entire position. Also makes a time a bigger factor.

His opponents must have been like: “Did the older sibling take over or something?”

I wouldn't have noticed the difference. She did well all matches

At 24:40, Bishop to g6 was really good

[@Rami-bi9xj]

Not really

[@baribari4096]

@Rami Yes, because pawn g4 traps the bishop.

[@Rami-bi9xj]

@@baribari4096 it only doubles the pawns

[@baribari4096]

@Rami if white plays pawn g4, you have to sacrifice something if you want your bishop to be alive. It will lower the king's defenses, but still

[@Rami-bi9xj]

@@baribari4096 oh i meant pawn to g6 was a bad move because it traps the bishop, my bad

[@iversongriffin7792]

This was so instructive thank you

As soon as Lucy said "we have cheesecake", I imagined Levi walking away and coming back with Cheesecake.

2:26 when she realizes knight is attacking c2, look at levy

[@maartenbondt9600]

Levi’s intense eyecontact with the camera is so great lol. Great video

[@tigerwui]

Its so refreshing to see someone at my level’s thought process

[@buffalodebill7986]

Levy: "What is going on??" Lucy: "Maybe he's cooking dinner.." Epic :-)

[@DrDiabolical000]

I can see this becoming a great series. Could relate with Lucy with the moves and when you were giving advice, I felt like you were telling me the moves.

[@Giovani90]

I loved this idea. Great video Levy. Thank you

[@theduckthatsees225]

Levy's headroll at 4:00 is hilarious

[@michael2244]

They should do this in reverse where Levy plays the first 15 moves then Lucy takes over, that would be more interesting.

[@slapthesloper]

Great idea for sure and educational. Levy can save losing games against lower rated players and Lucy can try to convert won positions against stronger players

[@Folk_Rocket]

alternate title for this series: “pretending to toggle engine at move 15”

[@unmecpasrigolo1647]

Great video ! Really helpful
