He was able to do it here because he didn’t know he was playing Hans. The problem is that Levy doesn’t have enough belief in himself and let’s his fear get to him.
Hans plays very inconsistently. Sometimes he will play games where he loses to regular GMs, and sometimes he plays games where his moves are on par with the best chess AI on the planet.

Hikaru didn't mention that Levy is playing with a browser extension that hide's his opponent's identity. He had no idea who he was playing, and meanwhile Hans is saying he'll quit chess if he loses.
The only thing that would make this better is clips of Hans trash talking then claiming "it was a gift" and "I threw the game". Could not be more thrilled Levy cooked him.
@@Owlr4ider Hans did not take him to court for fun, you know. He defamed Hans Niemann and called him a cheater, resulting in millions of idiots like you to buy it without even proof. That's what you'd do, too. If someone calls you a cheater with no proof and destroys your future career, you would sue them for every single penny they have. Hikaru's initial strike, calling Hans a cheater had no rationality, other than being a suckup for Magnus.
Love this. Especially after Levy’s tournament where he finished second he’s building up confidence and showing he can play at a GM level in different times controls. Really hope he gets all the way to his goal.
No that's only his excuse. He started the match mocking levy for his sensibility to the stress, only when he saw he was in a bad position he started to worry and tilt
Every time Hikaru says this, I'm unsure if it's meant as a joke, or if he just doesn't realize that his quote is oversimplified. The knight's POSITION on f5 is worth at least a pawn.
After seeing the game from Hans' side, I am even happier for Levy. Now, Levy can be a bit on the meaner side with his style of comedy, but those weren't jokes coming out of Hans' mouth. He was just being a dick to someone in a lower tier than you. I get they aren't friends. But there is making a quip and being a dick.
Heyy Hikaru huge fan from Brazil, I was very surprised when you started saying the numbers on portuguese, all the love from Brazil, cheering for you in the upcoming tournaments!
I cant wait to see Levy be GM but man it is scary to see how easily Hikaru can see missed tactics and such. The difference between a GM and a super GM is wild.

Hi Hikaru. At 4.29, your whole "swap swap swap" with so much material in such a short amount of time. I just comment to say how amazing that it is that you see this things but not just see it, but with the swiftness and speed you seem to just calculate and see these patterns. It truly is something else to watch you show and tell to an average guy just enjoying watching some chess:-)
Love it. Ever hear of the Critical Drinker from Scotland?? He reviews movies and replaces character names with colorful names... In all future videos we should just refer to Hans as the American World Chess Champion..... Maybe get him some theme music from Hulk Hogan. LMAO ... "I am a real American.....

Wow, what a nice game between the future American chess champ and Hans.

Levy not knowing who he is playing is working brilliantly
why he doesn't know?
@@kinshuksrivastava6128 I think there's a setting to turn off ur opponents usernames
He uses a Chrome extension to hide the player he is playing against. It helps him focus on the game and not let the aura of the player affect him.
Yeah if he knew he was playing Hans he would've got nervous and settled for a draw.
Why use an extension when you can use Focus mode?
I love that Hikaru is farming Levy for content now 🤣

Really happy to see Levy hungry for big wins lately. He seems to be in such a good place at the moment.
