Ah yes, my favourite chess grandmaster, Levy Nakamura.
I like Hikaru Rozman
@@tesone6783 Me too. I choose Levy first since he's the one with the controls.
yess
Hikevy Rozamura
@@ajbiffl4695and his archnemesis: Levkaru Nakzman
Bro idek how this dude makes me watch his 30min long videos without even skipping I haven't even played chess in ages
I can’t imagine games in my head and i listened to this like it was a podcast while im at work😂
@chriscote601 😂 Thats savage mode
It’s his motivational demeanor and pace. Keeps me pumped throughout the day.
I'm right with you, and I don't even play chess XD
He has a gift for explaining things in an understandable and exhilarating way. He communicates how a strong/pro player feels about chess, without doing the usual gatekeeping language where one spews out a million different complex lines.
Levy never fails to cheat on Magnus with hikaru
Meanwhile lucy :
That’s hot
@@DS-nw4eq wtf...
Damn bro 🔥
He should give you the pin of shame
The thing about their game is, hikaru is actually more like coaching levy more than playing for him
I think they were much more of a team than I feared considering their difference in ability. The Armageddon game was great to watch live.
Levy is really good at chess. Not as good but he is capable of GM
@@Sncedayonedefinitely not GM level but yes he's very strong, especially at his peak before he blew up on yt
He is not so far off. UA-cam probably is one inhibitor
yeah, its so ridiculous that Levy thinks he contributed anything to these games
"call me Levi"- Gotham
Meanwhile hikaru-"Leeevyyy RoseMan"
Meanwhile Levi: KEEEEEEENNNNYYYYY
@@Roberto-nn6kb aot reference

I posted this under the raw vid of the event on Hikaru's channel, but will say this here too. While at time you seemed like you were feeling a little timid (I can't imagine the pressure of playing with Hikaru and trying to find ways to contribute) and while Hikaru was mostly driving the ship on ideas, there were a very large number of spots where you had first instincts that were dead on correct for the best move in a position, and some where your instinct on a move was the only move in a position to keep advantage (I am a terrible chess player, I was just following the games on an analysis board, stockfish approved of a lot of your ideas). You should trust those instincts more.
Wow
Levy & Hikaru are the Chip and Dale we needed in the chess world these days
The Hawaiian shirt really makes your point
No need to ask which is which....
omg chi chi chi chip and dale rescue rangers :P
@@Lets_MakeItSimpleHoly shit the name: Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers blew my mind. I haven’t heard that in so long
Hikaru wants to be in Levy's video's so bad he chose the dude, against all odds.
nah he just wanted a challenge :D :D :D
Nah he chose him cuz danny suks arse\
Well the only other choice was Danny Rensch sooo...who can blame him
He said he thinks levy is better than danny, can’t remember which video it was though
i meant levy beat hikaru with caro kann after hikaru shit talks about it, now he advocating abou caro kann
Levy and Hikaru play team chess
Levy: "I'm cheating"
Hikaru: "Play anything"
On behalf of the community, please do more collabs with Hikaru
After the candidates hopefully
As a member of the community, I approve.
As a low ELO scrub I approve this message
Didn’t they used to stream together?
@@apersunthathasaridiculousl1890 Yeah and Hikaru used to treat him like a step child 🙈
This was SO SWEET LIVE !! It’s been years to see a collab between you two and I haven’t been able to watch one since I fell in love with chess. Truly phenomenal
Ah yes the best chess engine, hikaru
It’s amazing how Hikaru just knew so many moves instinctively, while Levy was having a hernia trying to calculate
There are levels to this
@@hectorg5809😂😂😭
It's interesting the difference in perceptions. Levy worried about playing with such high-level players (for Levy), and Hikary played for fun with such low-level players (for Hikaru).
Ohh my .....
It's 7th video in a row where Levy didn't mention Magnus
He is edging
Don't get too hopefull, tromorow he will do a video called "Magnus Magnus Magnus Magnus Magnus Magnus Magnus" and call it a day hahahahah
I love how Hikaru is more of Levy's coach here instead of teammate, very good experience for Levy tbh
Kramnik will explode from his interest.
He has interesting interest .....
Like who the hell is charging him 10% a week of interest on a 500k loan ?🧐🧐🧐
He has a crusade versus a latin american gm talent right now accusing him everyday. So sad the Kramnik downfall
I really like when you and Hikaru do collab stuff, He might be the better player, but you are the better teacher, and having you explain his ideas helps a ton.
One thing I love about the way levy speaks, he sounds like a mad scientist, with the rushed speaking making him sound like he’s trying to scramble together a plan that will save the world from Armageddon
I was laughing so hard watching the match seeing Levy react to Hikaru just saying “oh it doesn’t matter play whatever”
Getting paired with Hikaru is like getting paired with the smartest kid in class on a project 👀
25:02 Hansen and Jorden never fail to have 2 seconds on the clock
4:37 That one there was a violation 💀
I'm not a Gotham Subscriber😂
I saw that and came to the comment section straight away 😂
he is right tho
That 3rd game was intense, my heart rate was up just watching it! Can't wait for the next round!!
next video: cheating on my wife for hikaru
I love the moments where Hikaru demonstrates the GAP...
And I love your humility and transparency in admitting where you would've "panicked" and made a high level yet ultimately losing play...and allowing Hikaru to demonstrate his effectiveness.
I love this, motivational and interesting to see not only several teams of very strong players working together and learning/teaching each other, but also to see the perspective of one of those players and to hear what was instructional while playing. Stoked for this tournament
The moment i heard that youre returning to otb i was soo excited. .. i hope you become gm one day levy.. you dont know how much you helped😊
What's your elo
ten
@@fawzanulhaque483 ~1200 if that matters..
@@okhiok3011We all have to start somewhere...
For future references , the original title was "Cheating with Hikaru!!"
damnya can't stop laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
changed to "Using Hikaru to CHEAT at Chess"
Hikaru and cheating? Very very interesting.
Kramnik would've love that.
truly a brilliant move
I like how levy just gets so excited he forgets to explain the idea of moves to us by the last of midgame and endgame, and i am sitting here clueless still enjoying thoroughly
Im happy you provided one of the critical ideas for the game. It’s fun seeing you light up everytime hikaru approved your ideas
the 3rd game would've been really funny if they showed the other team talking more because they were so confident with their bid and black with the 5 second increment while claiming they would make solid reactionary quick moves, then they started to realize all the moves were complicated and they didn't have enough time to think. but unfortunately only on the 3rd match they decided to broadcast hikaru and levy more so they were kinda saved.
Levy: "its just loosing", "this is brutal", "now we're in trouble".
Evaluation bar: barely moves.
Rare footage of levy not putting Magnus in the title
We need a series with Hikaru coaching Levy as Levy goes for GM status. Like Apollo and Rocky.
600 elo player: Hikaru, let's play
Hikaru: yes, great idea! (goes on and win the game)
Now we are seeing 2v2 in chess tooo....
Incredible
On the best day of Levy's chess is just bit worse than the worst day of Hikaru's chess
Levy never fails to never fail at never failing
This is one of absolute sickest concepts. Where is the goddamn live stream I need to see you guys strategizing in real time.
Hikaru and Magnus versus Alireza and Fabiano, it's going to be a battle.
You have made:
Stockfish vs Stockfish (Perfect Chess)
Mittens vs Mittens (Insane Chess)
Can you do: Torch vs Torch
Hikaru with the 3v1 win, respect.
😂😂😂
Now I am realizing how incredibly good Hikaru Nakamura is
Hikaru is insanely good. No wonder ordinary GMs, even some ex-world-champs 😋 think he's using an engine. That's because he is. A big one. Well concealed between his ears.
Yeah? Well my engine is concealed between my knees and it runs like a dream.
'no sorry im not a Gotham subscriber, im Gotham himsel' ..he's HIM !!
Honestly the live game was so dull and boring (although interesting) in the beginning with Hikaru and Levy.. but then armageddon game was amazing, pure hype and trust
4:33 He casually roasted all 4.7 million people. 🤣
Levi Roseman never fails to show his extreme love to Hikara Nakimara
Pov magnus getting his 2 twins creating the magni
Levy seeing character improvement not using stockfish and using Hikaru instead, thank you gotham.
This was an awesome video, loved hearing how you and Hikaru worked together
You had clutch assists, like that opening idea and then opening up an attack near the end that lead to a win. That was insane.
Imagine if other team had VISHI AND MAGNUS
Levy should totally switch accounts with Hilaru on titled Tuesday
Elephant in the room: what does this mean for Levy and Hikaru's relationship? I'm glad Levy eventually stopped working with Hikaru so frequently (Hikaru is sometimes a jerk), and I'm glad Levy eclipsed Hikaru (as a content creator, not as a player), but it would be nice if they somehow became friends again.
Such an insanee matchup, intense, exactly what I needed recovering from a brain injury
Imagine Hikaru and Magnus cope up together and play in a classical match.
I'm pretty sure that they will win the game with 99 to 100 accuracy
Levy never fails to use the cow opening on Magnus and Hikaru.
THE BEST TRIO gottham x hikaru x magnus
Bro think he is hikaru
Engaging recount and great strategy for the team chess battle! Watching you and Hikaru strategize was a fascinating insight. These chess techniques really got my gears turning.
Levy never fails to talk
13:20 that move really shows what level the Top 5 in the world operates at .
Imagine magnus and hikaru in a team
They would just fight the whole game.
Love this. I imagine that was an awesome learning experience for you! You can learn a lot by studying games after, but getting the live insight was probably something else. Congrats on the win
Hikaru's red eyes in the thumbnail. levi is sooo exicted
Watching GMs not flinch is going to teach anyone a lot.
Can I join the tournament with stockfish as my partner
Yeh bro
Kramnik has added your IP to his interesting people list.
9:08 “We were talking about it with Hikaru.” I think Levy’s got the Russian language on his mind.
I love the part when he cheated
Ludwig: I hired a Chess master to pissed off my friend *Hires Levy*
Levy: And I took that personally
levi ackerman is gonna get alot of speculations for this one
Levy does one thing with Hikaru, and he just instinctively starts drawing arrows like him
Hikaru+Levy= Levaru
Levaru Rothamura
@@Egyfitnessya that's the full name
Hikevy works too.
Hevy Nakaman
sounds like a fat superhero
@@worldalternate Nakama Dayou
Haha you got that title from Ludwig! Don't think we don't see you! Love the video and loved watching the event live!!
Stopping kids from saying "First".
First
first
Just another way of saying first
You are that kid
You lost to me tho 😂
It's cool to hear the discussion between a top player and someone who is also very good.
"Hikaru" actually sounds like a name of an AI model

so much effort into this comment lol
Bro made an index
Why are these actually good for an AI excuse me?
I love this format of chess, I hope you play many more with Naka on your side
LEVY BROKE CHESS with that bishop f3 idea
Can you upload the VOD in a playlist or something? I think would be interesting to watch the collaborative thinking. Congrats on the win
It's actually very nice to see Levy having fun playing against GMs. Also hearing he is studying. Very glad to hear he is working on chess and having the fighting spirit again!
This whole tournament is just levy trying to trick hikaru into playing a 1v2, and he actually fell for it!
This is def my favorite video in recent memory. Great job Levy & Hikaru!!
I’m glad hikaru chose levy though I do really want to see more of Danny rensch’s chess
This is one of the best videos you've put out IMO. Just an awesome concept and I feel like I learned a ton. I hope you turn this into a series somehow.
Gotham Nakamura is the DBZ fusion we've all been waiting for
I always love it when you and Hikaru collaborate on something. That armageddon game was totally awesome!
"If we win the game, we win"
"Every 60 seconds, a minute passes"
Hikaru is just like Stockfish but he actually can explain the thought process behind the move.
You are very fortunate to have such a partner in that event.
I think that deep down Hikaru and Levy both appreciate each other. Good luck in the semifinals!
You said something early in the stream yesterday along the lines of „They made this tournament purely for content.“ And we are all for it. 😎
Levy getting Hikaru to look over his homework
Watched this live and honestly, you really did quite great. There were several times Hikaru was complimentary of your contributions. It's nice seeing someone there to constrain your wildest impulses, because you DO have some brilliant insights sometimes. You just also have the ability to panic, and Hikaru can capitalize on your brilliancies while being the player who knows when what you're thinking is pure panic. Levy Nakamura is a strong team.
levy and hikaru are like pinky and the brain
Hey Levy, I’ve been watching your videos since about October and I love your content, my favorite playlist is Guess the Elo. I’ve noticed your views have dropped a little in the more recent videos and I wish that would change. I can’t really give much advice since I’m not a UA-camr but I will say one of my favorite things in your videos is seeing your Twitch chat’s reactions during your videos. I know streaming can be tough but I would love to see some more chat-levy collaborations, your videos are so awesome and there’s really no one who can explain this stuff like you, thanks!
Not me watching a 30 minute recap after watching the whole tournament just yesterday.
Levy is milking both Cagnus Marlsen and now Nikaru Hakamura ☠
Damn! They really buffed the hikalevy bot
