Very kind and true comment, but in my opinion Wesley won BECAUSE he's the most humble player in the world. In other words, humility is key. Skills come after.

[@kassios]

He won because he played better after thousands of hours training, reading, practicing, playing. There is no rating in chess for character traits. Being good or bad is irrelevant. Carlsen, as an example that totally proves the point, has been dominating for a decade without being humble or good mannered. You don't have to when you are the best in the world in a game of pure skill and logic.

I personally love the king capture’s idea. I used to do it when i was little and it made my friends and I think a little more about exposing squares near the king. At a fundamental standpoint, especially if you’re allowed to NOT say check, it reinforces the player to think comprehensively with each move. At the higher levels, i think it’d make for interesting plays and more creativity.

Removing 3 rules - Kings allowed to enter each other's squares (the other King cab capture it if it ever happens), No checkmate or check (instead capturing the king wins the game), allowing to move a pinned piece (just like if it's pinned to the Queen), would make it simpler to learn without changing anything within the game. And makes more sense.

while capturing the king would be a controversial change in chess rules, making (illegal) moves that lose, should be allowed. it is allowed in the real chess.

I actually don't understand the question. I know the game is not allowing him to make that move. But is that suggesting that the Online game SHOULD allow it...meaning allowing blunders?

[@vebjsand]

@@RAEN74 Yes. As we've seen throughout this tournament, but also for many years now, the vast majority of games end in draws. Those with wins are usually because someone blundered, not outplayed their opponent (the top 3 players are really the only ones that can win without blunders several times per tournament, spesifically magnus, but a few others too when they're in the groove).

[@mc100hu]

(AKA lose right there and then) whereas typically you aren't allowed to put your king in check. Hmm....yeah i find that interesting concept.

The reason i believe why illegal move are illegal are to prevent problems like the two player being in check at the same time ( as suggested by levy at 8:20) Cause according to the rule white would have to move out of check ( not accounting for the fact that he can capture the enemy king) Therefore following the rules of chess as set, black could play the fork, white king would have to move, then black would have to move it’s own king.

Not true, top chess players can peak at 35, look at Levon Aronian for instance

The king capture thing that you said is what I play with my family over the board Levy. If somebody doesn’t realise they’re in check, and they don’t protect the king, we just knock the king over haha. It’s a much better rule, adds a new tactic for hidden attacks in a position.

spoiler: wesley has a big house AND a cat

[@Livestreamlurker]

2 cats actually

[@parabolaaaaa4919]

i was spoiling the video, levy’s voiceover says that wesley is getting his cat which means he has atleast one cat but maybe more but i didnt know

Randomly found your channel. Really enjoy the way you talk about the game and your content. It's cool to see. So keep doing what you're doing.

You’re commentating on chess is amazing, I think it’s so cool how well you explain everything, I low key get hyped when a cool move happens.

You are a very good commentator. Very enjoyable to watch. Hope you cover more tournaments in the future.
