​@@glitch504sans9 its not about chess strength but ok

[@glitch504sans9]

@@NotAGamer-69-f2p stress is a natural mind response. in that time It shows you a lot about the person. alireza is weak under that stress he stutters he does weird things his body language is very weak unlike magnus and hikaru and even me. I dont like that trait if someone handles stress thats the man I like. the best example of this is kramnik where stressed or not hes always confident assertive and theres no change in him at all. another more obvious one is hikaru who plays at a tournaments comes back as cheerful as alwyas analysing his game for youtube and goes to the tournamet to play again AND he does well in these tournaments but he doesnt really have a strong body language thats why the better example is kramnik

[@arthurhaag9434]

​@@glitch504sans9"and even me" is crazy lol. He is 21, one of the best players in the world and a very humble guy. Better than being hyper confident like kramnik and Hans and then being hated by everyone.

[@glitch504sans9]

@@arthurhaag9434 that has nothing to do with stress being one of the best players is about skill and experince not stress handling and being hyper confident is useful in life a lot more than being nervous kramnik isnt just confident hes also assertive and has a strong active body language hans isnt assertive kramnik still the best example. and yes even me whats wrong with that statement I wake up 3 hours before colege to literally go to a diffrent country when I only slept 2 hours and Im independent

I LOVE these side by side chess videos. We get to hear both of their thoughts during the game and somehow it usually always works out that neither of them are talking at the same time and even when they are talking at the same time, its easy to differentiate.

[@Yokowww]

The fact that he knew who he was playing and still won

[@GoodLifeMedicine]

This video was balanced like a work of art. The music, the game, Alireza's singing and sense of humor, the drama of the game itself, Levi's silent victory dance, GM Alireza's work ethic as he immediately picks apart the game learns from it providing a window into the mind of a super GM, and finally the reference to KZbin which we are all actually watching, bringing it home.
