[@mequana]

By the way levy, i dont want to tell you what to do and what not to do, but in my opinion it would be a very good thing if you would make sure that your KZbin and twitch livechats are moderated during the games. 1.) It happened multiple times that your opponents got insulted, especially your opponent from the second round WIM Anahi Ortiz V., especially with mysogynist comments. And your opponent from your third round got insulted, too, but of course the mysogynists comments were happening the most. 2.) in your chats some people are tyring to be funny and write inappropriate stuff or spam to throw your Coach off and get him into a weird Situation. I think alone for the fact that your Coach takes the time to comment the Matches i think a good moderated chat is even more Import as if you were streaming, because you already have much experience with such brainrot. In my opinion Coach shouldnt get into a Situation where he has to deal with this stuff (and i would love go use another word than stuff buuut then the comments gets inappropriate) Well that's everything i have to say. Looking forward to the other games, your coach does a brilliant job. GG Levy, GG to all 3 opponents and Good Luck for your other 6 games. Gotham for Grandmother🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Russians teach precisely 2 things Levi describes: They prefer 1 d4 2 c4 3 Nc3 4 Nf3 to 4 Bg5, and they teach young players to be "uber solid" to avoid losses and get to a high level before trying to play offensively [ see Kamsky for example ]. Their team may be getting some Russian coaching. "Why couldn't I capitalize on my advantage?" What was the advantage? Tal v Botwinnik; Risk-taking attacking v Uber-Solid; Who does their thing better is key. She wasn't frustrated, but Levi was. She succeeded in blunting him. Maybe over the course of a match, Levi like this would win, but it would be very tough. Levi's endgame skills seemed to leave him because he began to distrust his intuition (a great strength of his). He needs to take this post-mortem, trust his intuition more, and just play his normal game. A good night's sleep will also help.
