Bro got that shirt from Hikaru

[@SANT14GO]

That's what he gets from milking him so much

​​@@SANT14GOThey are both milking each other these days.

[@hashiramasenju5001]

Levy three years ago was like: I knew I was better but I knew the game wasn't over, stressed myself out watching my opponent and lost. Levy now is like: I knew I was worse, but the game isn't over, remained calm, played fast and accurate, psyched my opponent out, drew and feeling good. Absolute chad character development man, this is so great to see

[@hackerkiller2131]

That’s a nice narrative, but that’s one sample is almost never representative of the trend. Edit: This comment seems to be getting a bit of hate so I thought I’d explain myself. I disagree with the notion that he has had this character change. Levi admits he panics sometimes (which is human) in chess, he said this in his last video. 9:39 is when he ‘panicked’ in this game (he didn’t panic, however, he was flustered). This is to show that he is not as confident as the comment claims. Levy claimed to have ‘panicked’ twice in the video beforehand and has acknowledged he was flustered as well. If I offended you or Levy, I apologize. The point of this comment was to assert that he hasn’t had some big ‘character change’, it was not meant to demean Levy in any way. In fact the very first thing I acknowledged was that *he is improving*. I don’t think he changed his personality that much apart from his continued playing and studying of positions. My opinion comes from watching other videos analyzing the game, not Levy’s, so if you feel annoyed at me to write I comment, please watch an assessment on one of his games from another source. My point was to stop saying stuff that doesn’t affect the game, as a psych minor, I feel I have experienced the phenomena enough to dislike it strongly. If you disagree, that’s ok 👍. I urge you not to degenerate yourself to making assumptions about another person over words on a comment on KZbin (of all places), but you are your own person. I may have misconstrued my point based on how others interpreted it and for that I can and do apologize for any language that alluded to my tone, anybody’s opinion, or anything else. If you have a point and would genuinely like to discuss or share your perspective with me, I would be happy to do discuss with you. I am only a Class D player in 1 min and Class C in 10, so I could have gotten lost in the ‘chess’. Thanks for reading and take care, I hope this gives you a better understanding of what I meant. TLDR: I don’t he has a change in personality. My 2nd comment acknowledged his improvement. I’m sorry if I’ve offended you. I still believe I’m right. Let’s not act like children and assume things about their personality (fundamental attribution error).

[@spaced5155]

@@hackerkiller2131 yeah dude hes totally worse than he was 3 years ago you fucking moron

[@hashiramasenju5001]

@@hackerkiller2131 it's not about the sample, it's about the mindseft shift. You can see it clearly. Levy is at peace every game, able to contain himself, believe in himself and pull through. Even tired playing a second classical game of the day. It's very clear

[@markhathaway9456]

@@hackerkiller2131 True, but Levy played similarly in his previous event too.

Hi Jeff. Big meme name

[@CottonmallowDasher]

Lets be real, no milking Levy and Magnus stuff. The way Levy explains his game recap is very clear, as a 2,000, these recaps really help in chess vision, what are you supposed to look at, How to know if your idea is good and safe, how to identify weaknesses, evaluate positions and threats, if the position is safe. These recaps help shape my thinking process. And could definitely also help beginner's thinking process get better.

[@techno_artist]

I’m 1000 and it helps. 🤨

[@CottonmallowDasher]

@@techno_artist yeh I mentioned beginners thinking process can also get better. [Not saying 1,000 is specifically beginner though, you guys have potential]

[@olivialambert4124]

Completely agree. I'm a former 1900 long retired and the recaps and breakdowns are honestly almost entirely what is returning my interest to the game. I'm long past my chess prime but small nudges push me into understanding without feeling like I've lost my ability, and without feeling patronised. Granted this one was particularly messy but the way it was presented made that part of the narrative - we were confused along with him. I came for the cheater content but I've stayed for the breakdowns.

[@techno_artist]

@@CottonmallowDasher it’s more fun when the name of the game is taking free stuff lmao

[@nickkerr5714]

[@HannanJaudat11]

this couldve been worded so much better bro

[@fizzed87]

This is awesome to see Levy, the character development is real! The fact that you're not beating yourself up over certain mistakes anymore is a huge mental step, and you seem to be having more fun playing than in your old recaps. These are by far my favorite vids of yours, and I'll be cheering you on until you make it to GM (and beyond).

[@executivelifehacks6747]

Anyone with persistent negative patterns of thinking can relate. Agree.

[@TheApocalypseAttack]

I cannot believe levy shocked (tased) a general manager 😱😱😱

[@and_I_am_Life_the_fixer_of_all]

bro sacrificed his rectum with the wireless beeds taser 9000, tased the opponent so hard a draw was offered on the spot

[@albericponcedeleon2696]

Even worse, that General Manager was also a Grand Mother. Levy must pay for his crimes against the elderly.

[@callmebuddy11]

THE CONTEXT : Levy be putting Bubble Gum shocker in his cuffs and shocked a GM as he shook the hands with him commencing the OTB match

[@and_I_am_Life_the_fixer_of_all]

wireless beeds shocker, when turned on it shocks your opponent and they offer a draw

[@naizy]

why does levy just edit out the spoilers or mistakes i never get that bro does not edit his vids fr a chad

[@imfrom4chan648]

Levy needs a new comment section

[@and_I_am_Life_the_fixer_of_all]

says the 4chan mental illness riddled virgin

I wish there was a separate comment section for copy paste memes and another for actually talking about the videos content..

[@danispringer]

yeah he said he will from now on make "2 a month"... where they at?? 😄

[@jeffm2586]

Listening to Levy after Hikaru is a wild difference in interpretation of the moves. It is awesome to hear the perspectives from an onlooker and the person who played, coupled with both of their history together and their statuses in chess as a whole. Informative stuff. Keep it up Levy. You got this.

[@Sigma_Chess_Lord]

Who want's Levy to become a GM 👇

[@Kelvin-bc4qv]

Me

[@Leyrann]

As someone who does both physical and mental labor, the two types are exhausting in different ways, but mental exhaustion often feels worse. Physical exhaustion comes with a sense of "I achieved something", mental exhaustion does not.

[@danispringer]

yup. playing music at parties looks easy and fun. it's draining. I guess the short summary is: you never know until you try... in everything in life.

[@zsh]

I am glad to see your character development and the absolute massive improvement of your mental state in games. Keep it up king

[@ZephyriumOfficial]

The day Levy actually becomes a GM is the day I will be able to sleep peacefully Edit: since some people somehow think I'm serious I should clear up that I have a fine sleep schedule, I was just joking and exaggerating how happy I'll be for Levy when gets the well deserved title. I AM NOT ACTUALLY RELYING ON A KZbinR TO GIVE ME A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. Also that has nothing to do with being gay. If you genuinely use the word like that daily you probably haven't left middle school.

[@nol2521]

You can support people but it's kinda gay to base your life behavior on a person on the internet you don't know

[@joustmaster_69]

​@@nol2521 nah it's more of slight humor bro. He's not glazing or anything, but it's more of an encouragement to keep levy going

[@Erwin_Smith]

​@@nol2521 what does that have to do with being gay lmao?? And i'm pretty sure he's just exaggerating to make a joke, chill bro.

[@nol2521]

Yeah because calling people gay with zero background should be taken totally seriously and is not exaggerated whatsoever

[@ethanq8297]

You should be VERY proud of yourself, man. VERY proud. The training has paid of well, and I'm confident you're gonna be in incredible shape for your next norm tournament!

[@yourfavoritetoy]

i think the channel getting to learn from the greats, plus the confidence from coming all the way to 5 million subs has really improved your confidence and your chess game. you were always a great player i think any im is great at chess. but getting all the love from your channel, learning crazy lines opened your vision and your confidence has grown a lot and that allows you to be more free at the chess board. go levy go.

[@itzprogamer1014]

All jokes aside Levy we're proud of you men, You're an absolute legend of the game and the chess community. please, don't ever stop making content what do we have other than you?? nobody actually. Good luck on your journey Much love to you my friend

I can't believe Levy would attack a GM with a TASER.

[@Blinkers2007GameDev]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1235">20:35</a> I actually also came up with that idea. You mentioned that his attack also weakened his own king. If you can get the double stack you can confidently attack the king and possibly checkmate. That A4 idea was a brilliant move by you especially considering t he situation and the time usage(only 40 seconds)

[@user-md7kp9kr5l]
