Formerly 3100 dropping to 250 points in two weeks is called sandbagging. I assume it would allow him to get paired up with easier opponents in Titled Tuesday.

But TT is based on number of points and not elo? Even if you are 2000 rated but are 8/8 you will face a 3100+ player with 8/8 and not a 2k player

Now we seriously consider him GM

[@ieatcarsyum8248]

1:06 why can’t he take the pawn on b2 with his queen here? I am not that good at chess so I am genuinely wondering

[@JackVolt]

He definitely CAN take the pawn on b2 there, it's not defended. That's why Levy points to it and says "free". It's probably a bad move to take the pawn though. It opens up that file for white's rook to attack, and it puts the black queen in awkward spot. She can't attack or defend anything from that square, and the white pieces can easily attack her to gain tempos.

[@JoshuaGutierrez-yq2bi]

Yes its free, but it gives the opponent something to work with. It can be good to be up a pawn, but to risk the position, even slightly?

[@icollectstories5702]

And Levy takes the juicer!

Anybody know why he didn’t take the high key free pawn?

[@Kinlon1102]

IM’s see things we don’t

[@JackVolt]

I dunno what his reasoning was, but he was right to ignore it. Stockfish evaluates the position as dead even, but if you take that pawn, it evaluates it as +1 for white, even though black has 1 extra pawn. White gets multiple free tempos attacking the queen, and depending on the order of moves, white has some tactical tricks to win material.
