I can imagine the developer just made the extension just so that he'll be better at his own games. Little did the developer know his browser extension was gonna help someone become a GM.

Love the Levy goes pro arc. I imagine even Magnus couldn't have created the psychological pressure, that Hans felt this game.

[@FoxenPiano]

That's a stretch. Fantastic game though.

[@AnimEnthusiast9]

@@FoxenPianoActually, I think he's right. Reasons being that Magnus is just insanely good, so losing to him isn't like the worst thing in the world for Hans. While with Levy (or Levi idk the spelling :P), he knows that if he loses, he'll be embarrassed and be a laughingstock to the whole internet. In the stream he even said that he is extremely nervous while playing with Levy

[@bunzen0kantzen]

I like how the commentary here is super chill then the Hans-side commentary is the downfall of Rome.

[@DrWavy-fq2qk]

The fact that the journey has seemingly just started and Levi is taking down big names is hella promising for the future. Becoming GM is just a matter of time

[@devanmallory5304]

It is promising, although he certainly beat big names before, he's beat hikaru and other super gms in games a few years ago. Hopefully he'll become one in the next year.

''The chess spoke for itself'' Hans

[@kn_ow]

I saw Hikaru's recap first which was excellent. Seeing Levy's game and reaction was priceless!!!

[@EVISCERATECHUCK]

7:00 Levy's external jugular vein enters the battle. You could probably benefit a lot from breathing exercises to keep that pulse down in high intensity moments like those last 60 seconds of the game. Worst case scenario adrenaline kicks in and you stop thinking and start blundering. GGs

[@marannebbeling9799]

I have to be honest, if it is actually about a tournament or two to get a GM title -- there's no shame in just using low dose propranolol to break the plateau. After the title he'll be fine in stopping -- toughing it out is genuinely unnecessary when it comes to such useful and relatively harmless medication that they even give to kids. It's for a reason that 50% of musicians use it during live performances -- it's because it's shockingly effective in these exact moments

[@williamshore8004]

You already know hans was gritting his teeth waiting for this video to be posted😂

[@FilipCodes]

[@KevRisi]

I’m happy you’re giving gm another go, not only for yourself but also for anyone who thinks they’re not good enough to go for their biggest aspirations. Watching this after your analysis then hans stream. He was talking that talk THE WHOLE TIME and he really ate it at the end. Chess spoke for itself.
