20:16 “How many pawns does this man have? 4, literally, I can count them!”, Levy always manages to make me laugh a bit with these stupid but funny jokes
It’s the delivery too. The fact that he says a question that seems rhetorical and then immediately answers it and acts like it was an easy question is hilarious
Yeah, it made me think of this:

The joke about knocking on black's door like the rent is late had me rolling. I don't know where these jokes come from.

I don't play chess... I only know the rules. But this guy is so passionate that I've watched the entire video! 🤣🤣🤣

One of your best videos you've ever made. The analogies. The analysis. The *storytelling*. I already knew the ending but your presentation kept me on the edge of my seat the entire 30 minutes. Congrats, you should be proud of yourself
Agreed. With these multi-game matches, telling a story and speculating about the emotions of the players and how they push back and forth makes it easier for us to follow
Spoken freely, used pictures. B+
Agreed. I usually skip through recap videos but this video was entertaining from start to finish. Very well done.

can you explain to me why the move at 11:15 is a loosing move. i still dont get it
12:17 This was hilarious to see live. Hikaru was sure he trapped the queen and he was smiling and looked so confident while we were lookinh at the eval bar

It doesn't get better than this. Levy makes a half hour of chess analysis go by in an instant. It's just so entertaining while also being so informative that its just a joy to be on the ride
i do like the time addition
makes it nicer to understand what's going on and what the pressure exactly is
and how fast these players analyze the situation and get out of it miraculously
Dude it's incredible really, I could spend 30 minutes analyzing a position, even playing out theoretical moves on the board. I still wouldn't understand it as well as they do in the second they have to make a move in 1minute chess.
Yeah, it made me think of this: ua-cam.com/users/shortsPnC5f6tnj5U?feature=share
This match speaks volumes about Hikaru’s resilience and resourcefulness, and Magnus’ raw domination even on an off day. He was clearly off-form but still nearly clutched it at the end. He led the 3+1 and 1+1 after playing badly in the 5+1. GOATs.
I am not sure but out of all the SCC matches I have seen I have never seen someone losing an SCC match after winning 2 out of 3 segments
@@williamrobert9898 The difference in the 5+1 was just too big.
I honestly think the WC final being at the same day probably was bad for Magnus. I felt exhausted myself after that and I was completely neutral. He looked completely out of energy. Well played by Hikaru though, I think he played better overall and completely played Magnus's weakness and didn't let it come down to creative chess as he said himself.
@Tehkenny1 I wouldn't necessarily say he played "better" than Magnus, it was clear that Magnus always got the better of Hikaru whether he was on the white side or the black side he seemed to outplay Hikaru in most of the games but he had some terrible time management and most of the games in which he outplayed Hikaru ended in a draw after Magnus failed to convert his advantage
@@williamrobert9898 I think you're wrong but it is also the reason why Carlsen is the best player in the world and Hikaru isn't. Hikaru is perfect against Magnus, Magnus thrives on creative and wild chess, he wants it as far away from theory as possible while Hikaru is probably the best in the world at solid chess. Playing constantly solid against a player like Magnus means Magnus need to play more risky moves which can lead to counter attacks
9:24 When the bishop is so trapped that Eminem Stan starts playing
This has to be the most epic chess video I have ever seen and it’s almost entirely because of the absolutely exhilarating commentary
This video is triple the GOAT, featuring Magnus, Hikaru and Levy managing to recap every single one of their 17 matches less than an hour after the game, absolute savagery.
if you count the points...they actually played 28 games not just 17
@@stbr3937 Yea, but levy introduced it as 17 games covered so I’m just parroting him tbh.
The best player in the world (Magnus), the best streamer in the world (Hikaru) and the best content creator + commentator in the world (Levy). Actually the GOAT Trinity.
@@stbr3937the other ones all ended in draws so it doesn't make much sense to recap
Streaming has given Hikaru so much confidence and has virtually no pressure in tournaments anymore. He's playing with house money. He truly seems like the only player who does not seem intimidated by Magnus anymore and Magnus stated that himself. What an epic match. Was cool to see Magnus share how much he enjoyed it. He finally had someone challenge him at his level
Magnus played terrible
@@stianaandal1488 oh you would have won for sure. why didnt you qualify?
@@billybobbobson3797 Its not a jab tho, he really did play awful. His play has been going downhill for a while now.
@@maxrusty3596 thank you
@@billybobbobson3797 Magnus was far from his best. He made easy blunders and he was always very low on time which is a very bad sign. However he played better eventually.
This entire SCC really shows how dominant Hikaru and Magnus are in speed chess.
I mean, this was the only match either had that was even remotely close. Freaking legends. 👏👏👏
They are playing moves so quickly that I can't even process which blunder I would've done.
Absolutely Incredible performance by them.

This recap is an all-time Levy performance. 17 matches in 30 minutes. GOAT things

as someone who has never really played chess more than casually this is extremely entertaining to watch even if I don't know really what is going on
Levy, you made that soooo entertaining. Sounded more like commentary on a fencing championship! Such a fan of Hikaru. He's a fascinating character. Both masters are beyond creative!
I'm so happy that they've got 13.5-14.5 scores at the end
This is Levy’s greatest recap video. Here’s a man who has truly mastered his craft.
Yeah totally. This was amazing. 30 minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
@@inthefade and I don’t even like chess.. haha man is talented
I just love the passion you feel for chess. The spark jumpes just right over when I watch you recap this insane match like you are one of those NFL lunatics!
The way you do these recaps is so fun to watch, not everyone can make these so these so digestible and entertaining. Especially when it literally involves some of the best players of our time !
13:38 "oH hE hAs To ReSiGn" 🤣
Loving how the pace of the commentary is matching the speed of the chess. The manic bullet commentary is gold!
Two of the strongest online chess players in the world. Thank you to the organizers, commentators, helpers and players for making this exciting tournament happen :).
Levi at 21:55 narrating my exact inner monologue word for word and then telling me to shush hit so hard lmao
Should've shown the drawn game where Magnus saced the queen right out of the opening for a draw and Hikaru stalled for 2:30 he had😂
What game was that ?
Na that was funny 😭💀
@@AbhishekKumar-uu4uj a game in the 3 to 1 portion
That game was all theory to be fair.
@@jacobtarallo7079 yeah but it was funny. Carlsen picked the line so he could quickly draw with black and move on to be white and didn't realise that Hikaru would just run the clock with it!
Such an entertaining match, such fantastic commentary by Danya and Robert, such fantastic interviews by both players, such a fantastic recap video by Levy. This is truly the best timeline as a chess fan.
That moment on 13:37 is GOLDEN
Been requesting time for the matches for some time. I appreciate the implementation Levy!
Am i the only one who involuntarily jumps up from the seat when some brilliant move or blunder happens? At this recap i was standing for 30 minutes straight... Admiring Hikaru and Magnus is just beyond entertainment... It's spiritual... Look at those two chess demigods...
chess elitist much?
Watching this match live was insane! My heart was beating so fast in the final minutes.

Levy, you make chess feel like a blockbuster film. The narratives you craft and the energy you bring is just phenomenal. Nobody does it like you, man.
LOVE these speed recaps! Hope to see more in the future 👌🏻
i did like the clocks, it gives a little extra insight in to the match when time pressure is a big factor
10:45 - “hmm hangs a bishop in one move. 700, 800 tops”
Sees game: OOOHH
I've never seen your videos before, but having the clocks on screen is really nice. Please keep doing that.
Incredible recap bro. 17 matches canNOT be easy. I watched this live and was on the edge of my seat most of the time. I was looking forward to this breakdown, thanks for the hard work.
That breakdown of game 10... so much passion. So much animation. Almost as good as the actual match going on. Just found this channel about three days ago and boy oh boy am I glad I found it before the speed chess finals. Amazing recap and breakdowns!
Yeah, it made me think of this: ua-cam.com/users/shortsPnC5f6tnj5U?feature=share
What a distinguished performance by Hikaru(Im a 700 player who didn't understand anything)
all your videos really feel like a face to face conversation. Crazy how much more i learn from that
This all in all is just a great recap. Gotham has def grown along with the channel, despite he always had great ideas to present from the start which helped with his accelerated success on UA-cam. I wouldn’t learn half the things I do today if not for how much I find this man’s content entertaining. Thank you Levy!
The whole time while watching this I was thinking “Oh he’s gonna come back he probably sees something that I don’t it’s fine” the fact that he made such a great comeback but still couldn’t win is crazy
Classic Magnus he did that many times before comes close to completing a comeback then fails to finish it off
Here: ua-cam.com/users/shortsPnC5f6tnj5U?feature=share
it's like France vs. Argentina.
These are legitimately the most beautiful chess games I have ever seen - the skill, precision, and elegance in which they play astounds me.
It is only after 2 1/2 years of studying chess daily that I can begin to appreciate just how strong they are. That's one of the fascinating things about chess for me, there is always a higher level of understanding. I think that's why even super GMs are still hooked to the game, no matter how good you are you can never "figure out" chess.
@@Axiomatic75 How do you manage your study sessions?
@@batteo3318 probably poorly ;) I do about 30 puzzles a day on average, watch recaps and opening theory videos almost daily, play 4-6 correspondence games and a couple of blitz/rapid games almost every day. Pretty unstructured
Love that you show the clock on this recap! Because time management is such a critical part of a speed chess game.
This is easily my new favourite chess video. Love how colorful and enthusiastic your commentary is Levy. Amazing 👏

The post game interviews were really nice, both of them being so respectful of each other and Magnus acknowledging how Hikaru just bamboozled him in the 5+1. Great match - and great video, Levi!!!
2 incredible finals today the world cup was insanely intense at the end and so was the SCC. Huge props to everyone in these games super entertaining
I couldn't agree more. It was a great Sunday
On one hand it's nice to see the champ get beat for once, on the other hand I feel like Hikaru's ego didn't really need to be pumped up any higher than it already is XD
Man, i was watching this last night and kept wishing they had you commentating! Amazing video as always Levy

This sunday has been an amazing treat with France - Argentina first and then Carlsen vs Nakamura
Watched the entire thing live but seeing a recap certainly helps to understand things better!
Wow - fantastic commentary. Really well put together and a great match as well!
The only chess channel Im willing to subscribe to, definitely love the recap, it was exhilarating, even though the next recommended video was from gmhikaru with the title How I beat magnus in scc. But I loved the way it went down, def a hikaru fan because magnus is just a machine and a human to beat him is impressive. Also love the voice change such as "The Rook!", "The Queen" for added emphasis never change that. Love the content, chess news. you got yourself a fan.
Levy your dedication to your channel is truly appreciated, I was not able to watch magnus vs hikaru live due to different time zone but you still delivered 17 games in such a less amount of time, and for that I'm truly grateful to you.
We want a match like this every month. Can't wait another year for this. hopefully we'll see a rematch in World Rapid and blitz

I’d love to see the clocks in more videos, especially when time crunch is relevant in the games.
Fantastic! This is the war I expect from these two. I'm glad my man Hikaru was standing in the end with every cut and wound a sign of pride. Chess doesnt get more exciting than these two going at it.
I only caught the tail-end of this match, it was crazy to see Hikaru put it away, but glad your recap came out so soon (cuz you the GOAT) after so i could see the other moments :D
Congratulations Hikaru, you're the best. Let me tell you, never change.❣️
He had no sportsmanship and had to bleed the clock. Couldn't win on skill alone. Lost my respect.
@@crabman2 wow! What an assessment. Had it been completely on skill, they would have played classical chess. Clock bleeding and time management is an important and completely legitimate feature of speed chess. And on a positive note, Hikaru is GOAT in speed chess, no doubt.
