    Bro it's gonna take more than norms to become a GM...
    Ever considered some yoga/breathwork/meditation...
    Something to develop some nervous system resilience?
    I love your videos but this one was a bit like a depressed teenagers journal.

    Levy, I have been following your journey as a chessplayer and content creator for several years at this point, ever since the early chessboom in 2021.
    If you continue improving like this, not only will you become a grandmaster, you'll become one of the players others will fear on their chess journey. Your chess has evolved, and it iwll continue to evolve if you let it. Do not be discouraged by a few mistakes here and there. If you keep up this trajectory, GM is not even your end destination anymore.
    Keep it up, I'll keep watching :)

    I feel like this is the best you could hope for in a first tournament return. You're controlling your nerves, you're keeping a positive mindset, and you gained a ton of rating points. It seems like you even know what your next barrier is-- that being endurance through the entire event, which is hard to practice outside of simply competing more. The norm was within reach, but you weren't expecting it right away anyway, so it shouldn't matter too much. I feel proud, and I look forward to your next tournament!

    Levy, no meme here, normally I'd be joking but I feel you here. Were the same age and I identify with alot of what you've shared.
    Well when my son was born in Sept. 2022, your channel SAVED me- the only thing I could do to both keep peace and work my brain was play chess online. My passions are music and engineering which are both "way too loud for an infant"... . Anyway your videos captured my attention. Your book taught me basics and my initial baseline of 800 rapid has grown to 1300 over 2 years (Yes it was mostlt ur videos but last fall ur book came out and its 🔥 and was like my amateur capstone). Your passion and humor opened my heart to the game. If you ever need to lead a community based vetting of your next air bnb I'd be glad to pitch in and check out reviews/weigh in to make sure you can get a comfortable stay.
    After travelling for work on minimal budget I get it. Stay true and I got ur back... as best i can as an internet stanger. Keep creating and I hope you achieve your goals... even tho ur from New York

    The beauty & enjoyment of most sports is being able to root for and get behind your favorite team. Ask any soccer fan and they'll say watching a game as a neutral just isn't as enjoyable. In most sports, people follow the team associated with their city/state/country etc. I think that's why the Olympiad is so many people's favorite chess event of the year: You follow your country's team, and that gives the event a story and a sense of drama.
    For me these personal tournament diary videos capture that sense of narrative in a way that chess rarely does. More content like this is what Chess needs to grow as a sport.
    Amazing content, amazing play, thanks Levy!

    It is impressive how have you improved the common chess content onto another level - journey towards reaching the personal goal of becoming GM. With this, not only that you will gain on popularity, but you will also inspire millions of people to keep persistent and pushing towards reaching their own goals. It would be fun to read your new "Road to GM" book one day after reaching the title... Well done sir!

    So glad to hear you're so close to getting your GM title. Would really like to see you get it! GO GO GOTHAM GM!
    Around 15:35 in when you keep saying "I don't know why I didn't take"... I'm sure you also know that sometimes it's better for the opponent to make the capture. If the opponent's pawn takes yours on the F file, you can recapture with the G pawn, which is protected by the rook on E2, and if they take your E1 rook, you take theirs with your Queen, so they just lose out on pieces and make your stronger ones more active. So maybe not taking is perfectly fine at this point.
