Why Levy WILL Become a Grandmaster ♔ ASMR

Levy is a remarkable guy and even though many doubt him, I firmly believe he will make it to GM. In this video I analyze his chess and explain why I have faith in him. Please note that this is an ASMR video and is intended for relaxation and sleep. I speak in a slow, soft voice that occasionally drops to a whisper. This is meant to soothe you, relax you and give you tingles.

Really appreciating the way you phrase your arguments and make them this concise. The ASMR format just works wonders for an analysis, and you nailed it yet again with the care you put into these videos. If someone should serve as a model on how to talk about a fellow content creator it would most definitely be you!

[@ASMRChess]

Thank you!!

[@BGcam]

It’s fascinating to me that we accept young age as the time when our brains are capable of rising to the highest ranks in chess, yet in all other expectations of life we tend to underestimate young minds. This is especially pronounced when we look at which age groups are trusted in positions of leadership.

[@ASMRChess]

Excellent point

[@alexglase765]

In some cases it’s more important to have experience than pure calculation power, though

[@CrazyShepard]

Experience still trumps age.

[@mamneo2]

Usually one of the worst errors societies have made is to trust too young men with power. As too young men have only their inexperience to offer.

[@ASMRChess]

@@mamneo2 I maintain that one of worst errors we make today, is not listening to and respecting our young.

[@DidoASMR]

OMG! So cool to see you do a video on my favourite (non-ASMR 😉 ) Chess KZbinr! Keep up the great work 💙

[@Nathan55411]

I had no idea that people were criticizing him over this. That's absolutely insane! Like I know becoming a grandmaster is hard, but you don't need to be a prodigy to do it. Hell, Van Gogh didn't even become a painter until he was 27. He wasn't a prodigy, he was just good

Asmr chess making a video on levy. This has got to be the best chesstuber crossover

[@pisquenta]

I'm not even a chess player, but I've watched your videos so many times that even I was able to identify that this was an unusual way to play chess. I don't know Levy, but I am now rooting for him

[@ThePdog3k]

Oh hey, wow! I can't remember when, but some time ago you responded to a comment a viewer had made about GothamChess that indicated you were not familiar with his content but looking to explore it. This is such a wonderful evolution! You love to see it. :)

[@ASMRChess]

Yeah I’ve been monitoring what he has been doing on KZbin because his execution is extremely impressive, but I haven’t gotten very deep into his content for a long time because the ads and his general style isn’t perfect for me, but he is still an extremely interesting and inspiring character.

[@blunderbunny8185]

You, like Levy, are very creative and deserve the same success. I like to watch Levy in the morning to start the day with a laugh, and then your videos at the end of the day help me wind down. And of course I learn a lot from both of you.

[@procrvstinvtion8479]

So glad you mentioned the ad stuff on his videos. I like his content, especially his commentary as it’s funny to me, but the amount of ads make it difficult to get through a video, let alone even clicking on the video initially.

[@Lewiiiiiiiis]

I've been subbed for like 6, 7 years, but I'm just obsessed with your videos at the moment, and I'm actually playing chess for the first time!

You and Levy are my absolute favorite chess content creator. You are both at the opposite end of the spectrum in how you present chess. I'm glad to hear that you support and believe Levy can achieve his goal.

[@TheEvilemperor999]

I think Levy has a good way of creating an analysis of a game for a chess channel I intend to always stay awake for. The random outbursts make it hard to wander and whenever I see weird moves work, it makes me think maybe my bad moves might be secretly genius. I love this analysis and I hope you do more !

Curious if you know where you got that board. I love the pieces, the board, and the sounds of the capture. Just wondering if you might be able to point me in the right direction?

[@SpicyMelonYT]

I like that you made this kind of video. I personally really enjoy hearing what other people think about the world (including people because you know, they are part of the world), especially when they show articulation and reflection in their words. I can tell you came to these conclusion from a derivative method of information. Things lead to other things...etc. I think a lot of people say things because they heard other people say it and then forget to do the most important thing which is to confirm the information for you self or figure out if the source was credible. Perhaps cause that doesn't sound fun and they don't care enough. Sounds judgmental from me but actually it's more of an observation than a suggestion to change. I don't think I know what is the right direction of change for most people. I just see the direction from me to others and see how good or bad the path is!

[@Magnulus76]

Levy has plenty of time to become a grandmaster, as he is still young. Larry Kaufman didn't become a grandmaster until his 60's, after a lifetime contributing to computer chess as a developer and consultant for many computer chess projects. The most important thing somebody like Levy needs to do in his quest, besides his chess studies, is protect his health and maintain some physical fitness, because plenty of chess masters have been cut short by poor health. Chess is a more physically demanding sport than people realize, and if it takes a long time to become a grandmaster, you are going to have to fight the physical and mental effects of aging, which can begin as early as one's 30's.
