Great content Levy. Still though...I think showing the full games are better...

Levys needs to hang on to personalities like ludwig and hikaru because he has none himself

[@Vizaru]

The players were playing chess but the evaluation bar was playing tennis

[@Kneem]

I’m pretty sure the bar goes by if the player does the best move, which is why it usually goes Down when you move. I could be wrong on that tho

[@suryanarayan2032]

@@Kneem it depends on who the engine favors in that particular position. The massive swings are caused by blunder after blunder

[@sjegannath6295]

Everyone missed the joke apparently.

[@xred13BF3]

@@Kneem well ofc, if your move benefits the opponent then the bar will move agains't you xD

[@slayinmyself4564]

@@Kneem if the enemy makes a bad move the bar goes up for you. If you made a bad move. The bad goes up for ur enemy. As simple as that

[@retrogaming459]

When a highlights video is 25 minutes long you know that the content was incredible.

[@stewartzayat7526]

Almost as good as yours

[@yes4me]

Just make sure your highlight does not focus only on people face. If you do that, we have no clue why people are reacting.

[@aleks_ivanov]

What?! I thought it was 10 minutes. Time sure flies

[@BostonFenian]

The dynamic between these three makes all these blunders ten times funnier: Hikaru's hysterical laughter, Levy jumping out of his chair and yelling "WHAT THE F-", Anna covering her mouth in embarrassment... I love these sub battle streams

[@dominicbennett5456]

And the desperation in Levy's voice when he yelled "TAKE IT!!" at the end

A small sacrifice, but it can payoff if your opponent doesn't know how to play chess

600 is usually 2 move blunders with a few wtf moments sprinkled in while 500 and below is 24/7 botez gambit

The advantage for Hikaru's subs is, now everytime he blames them for a terrible move, they can show him how he straight-up hung a bishop in one move vs. Magnus.

2:33 that was the most genuine laugh I've ever seen from Levy

[@ahmadtallal4292]

wow THAT was THE MOST GENUINE laugh

[@Asura-pw6vo]

Why cut out the weedanus bit ? I think that was the key moment in the entire sub battle. You should have just kept the weedanus part and it would have been perfect.

Nothing better than someone completely losing his winning position, only to win on time

he could but would be the same as in hikaru´s channel, he has to improve something to make it appealling.
