It's not easy to break down your own games publicly when you aren't playing as good as you know you can. I think it shows a lot of character and makes me want to support you more. Good luck with the last few games of this tournament!
Very much this: bravery isn't about not feeling scared or uncomfortable, it's about feeling crap and doing it anyway.
I completely agree with that and was just saying it yesterday. I mean there’s little difference between Levy and Noponmiachti 2 months ago in that regard. Both are able to admit when they mess up and they should be proud of themselves for it.
Levy should pin these comments!
Then go support him. He has a link, click on it, and send him $3 or $3000 or $30000 depending on your budget and how much love you got.
I’m not trying to be a dick, but this is a farce for views. He needs to actually prep instead of recycling his broken play.
this man said hold up let me eat this pizza real quick what a legend
I read this comment the exact second he said it
Sometimes you just have to eat. If you don't eat you don't poo and if you don't poo you DIE!!
It made me 12" chess hard
best part is he didnt cut it
Not a crossover of my interests I was expecting.
The off topic moments, are the most entertaining moments. There are many, many other creators that talk about only chess. I'm here because Levy is different and love it!
same - keeps the content interesting. chess analysis for fifteen straight minutes is fine, but kinda dry.
Off topic is one thing but Levy's tangents lol wahaha
its what we live for
Yeah totally
Jeah levy is the best. Pin this one pls
Know that we’re all still rooting, no matter the outcome of this one tournament! Honestly next time you need more time to prepare just TAKE the time. Trust me, we WANT you to fulfill your dream of becoming a GM, even if that would mean not getting videos as often for a little while. We can celebrate once it happens 🙂 And also, CONFIDENCE, CONFIDENCE, CONFIDENCE! Stop second-guessing yourself and go for the throat, play for the win, don’t have mercy on anyone you play against, otherwise it seems like it’s less likely to beat them. Also don’t let others discourage you, just push forward and you’ll get there. I hope this is good advice haha 😂 Good luck!
U are so right. Thank you for speaking out the thoughts I can't express reasonably.
@@nicolange4347 lol I just hope he sees this

This deserves a Pin of Positivity !
levy analysing 10-15 moves ahead and finding the second/third best move: "i should have found the best move, damn"
900s with stockfish: "bruh that's obvious"
Hell yea levy! Play with the gut and instinct against 2700’s the same way you would against an 1800! Trust yourself more
He's not gonna play 2700s

When you are a mortal and don't spring from the womb with a special gift, then you will lose and NOT trust your intuition. This is difficult to overcome if you are a serious person bent on something great. A frivolous person has no such problems.
Still rooting for you Levy. Happy you finally got a good game in.

Omg this happened to me in my last game against the scotch. Lichess - DrSincity
Is that E-Wiz from clash royal?
But slower than Nepo?
No reasonable person will think less of you for having one bad tournement. These haters just sit in front of a chess engine and think they're a GM.
The light and energy in Levy’s eyes at the intro of this video gave me much hope/happiness
10:24 I feel seen! Yeah on UA-cam it's more like "revealing your true self" than "breaking the fourth wall" haha. Real life Levy eats food, who'd have guessed?
Levy ALWAYS REMEMBER: WE LOVE YOU. IVE GONE FROM 600 TO 1300 IN 10 MONTHS Thanks to you. So what if youre playing bad chess rn, it happens. Always remember your audience watches you because you are significantly better than them . Never forget that❤️
I've gone from 1200 to 400 in 10 months. Amazing content from levy especially the how to lose at chess episodes.
In 10 months I’ve gone from 0 ELO to 0 ELO.
I have gotten to 100 to 1100 elo in 4 months.
LMAO the "all the backseaters saw" is so funny to me
Every once in a while I’ll see the move he’s talking about, but it’s almost invariably with the wrong idea. 😅
Honestly this feels refreshing, of course I’ll and many others will always support you and we’re hoping you win but it feels nice to know that Levy is human.
We all make mistakes and get nervous or don’t have good days. But these videos let me know that when I’m having a really bad night at chess that I just have to keep working towards it instead of giving up
Also if not anything else you have gained my upmost respect for calling yourself out on your mistakes and using yourself as a staple for what not to do or being like “I shouldn’t have done that this was stupid” in an effort to teach us and yourself
To me you’ve been a grandmaster role model better than some other grandmasters and have really helped us learn
We gonna clown you sometimes but ofc it’s out of love bc u clown us and we have a family (now the ppl that actually be hating yeah forget them)
Also one last thing bc this message is long enough. Off-topic LevyI feel is the best Levy. When I started chess a few weeks ago there’s MILLIONS OF VIDEOS ON IT But I suck to you because you give it a chef kiss with your personality that i feel others can’t and that’s why i love watch your videos
We love you man
It's been a rough ride, but hey, a draw against a GM when you are feeling really low is a good result!
If he wants to be a GM he needs to beat GMs, especially in a better position
@@IVANOsijek007 And he will. But sometimes a draw on a bad day is better than a win on a good day.
@@JustinMcJustin no he's drawing on a good day,and loosing usually lol
@@IVANOsijek007 ah yes because getting the title is the only thing that matters
@@sergeantslowpoke1550 well, a lot of his channel content is centered around his "GM title", just look at his clickbait titles.
Remember 99.99% of viewers only got cocky because the engine analysis exists. Otherwise they have nothing to say. Some Joe on the street can't just tell an IM how to play chess.
I watched this game live and damn levy was on fire throughout the whole game, always playing what the engine recommended. He only had an average 15 centipawn loss, insane.
Where are these game broadcasted?
@@RealHogweed I watched it on lichess
@@mathewwilson5955 ah, thanks!
I was a soccer goalkeeper. I used to not get great warmups, and for the first couple shots I was hoping for something easy to get into the zone. If I got that I was probably going to have a really good game. If I didn't I was going to spend the whole game anxious, unconfident, and probably make some bad mistakes.
Then I got onto a team with a really good coach who used to give me a really good warmup, and I could go into the game in the zone instead of try and get there 20 minutes in and let in an easy shot in the process. It changed everything and turned me into a much much better player. I don't know what the equivalent in chess is, but I hope you find it.
Ew you said soccer
Levy, you & Hikaru are the reason why I’ve gone from 400 to 1700 in blitz in 1 year. Now I’m trying to sign up for my 1st OTB tournament ever. It wouldn’t have possible with you. Please, don’t give up on your dreams of becoming a GM, you got this!
Man it's hard to watch you beat yourself up so much. You re-kindled my chess passion after not playing for a year. It may be frustrating, but you've got a lot of support and you've supported a lot of people. Hope you keep pushing yourself and don't let this hang over you.
It’s been incredible to see someone I’ve learned so much from continue to keep learning and fighting and takes the punches with humility. Thanks for the consistent and honest recaps and keep it up!
Watched this game on the lichess live board, some people were complaining about draw while computer says you're ahead but you played some great chess and found amazing only moves, keep grinding, some work to do but this was a great view into what you are able to do. Feel free to take time off and rest after this tournament if needed, I'm sure those of us that aren't complete trolls or cynics understand the reasons and will be at your side whenever you may return!
10:30 I love when you go off topic Levy, your MMA comments and all your other jokes, tangents, or passions are just as interesting as the awesome analysis!
Just keep going Levy, you'll get there eventually, we're rooting for you and we are confident you have the potential to become who you dream to be. Just trust yourself and put in the work necessary. Also exercise, it helps the mind focus.
“I’m still in the mindset I’m defending” pretty much the theme of this series
levy's magic. Chess show turning into eating show at exactly after 10 minutes of video. 10:00 This is how wonderful, sensible gotham is.
would love to see Levy's reaction to chess moments in movies.
Good luck with the rest of the tournament. Just know the community has your back. It takes a big man to analyze his triumphs and mistakes to everyone. I don’t play competitively, but it’s good to hear other people think and feel the way I do when playing chess.
Hopefully this title means a win. LETS GO LEVY! :D

14:50 Qe2 reminds me of Capablanca.
Cheering on for you, Levy! Honestly I have a feeling that you tend to second-guess yourself too much, since you end up trouncing so many opponents in online blitz and rapid games, but when it comes to classical formats OTB you aren't the same attacking, testing player that I often see online. Hope we get to see the beast OTB soon, and then taking up the GM title also
These recaps are just you being a complete hero. There is no greater display of true strength than showing vulnerability. Go, Levy.
9:59 It's okay, many of us eat something during your recaps, so go ahead, have a snack too
I still say your tournament play is my favorite content from your channel. I pull for you to win, sure, but I appreciate your account of what went through your mind and how you evaluated positions. That's human. It takes big stones to open yourself up like that.
Levy is going to be GM soon. I honestly sense that!

@@EnigmaChess While it might be true, nothing about parroting what Hikaru says makes it any more true.
Yeah cause you're a psychic and that's a thing. Facts are - he's not doing very good.
@@Brando2301 Who says Hikaru has anything to do with it? In all honesty, it’s time to start accepting the fact that, more likely than not, Levy won’t be a GM. And that’s okay, because he’s achieved more in his chess career than most could ever hope to, and is a phenomenal content creator.
As awesome as it is to watch an underdog be victorious, the deeper lesson of showing us fellow humans how to process loss with grace and gratitude, that’s the good stuff. Thanks Levy.
I BELIEVE IN YOU LEVY!!
Have a good week
Watched your round 7 live, Levy was like mini stockfish it was crazy. Keep up the good work and I hope you succeed in future tournaments!
Loving the tournament Levy you really need to understand it's not all about Winning it's the journey and we are following you to the end win or lose you are not alone.
Levy, you got over a million fans rooting for you, not just your GM title but YOU as a person. You've given us so much & we are so appreciative. It's so cool that you allow us into your life. You have your priorities right. Your tournaments are just the dessert. No matter the outcome we ride n die with you!!
levy the only creator that actually just mutes his mic and doesnt just cut it out of the video all together
Is it just me or is Levy playing better against the stronger opponents
Feels like a weird paradox he’s been in. My 1200 level take is the GMs are more solid/predictable and the teenagers are erratic so he spends too much time calculating 27 variations on move 16. From a college athlete perspective he needs to play with zero respect for any opponent. Straight savagery.
I think he doesn't play better, he plays worse. Probably because self confidence issues
@@anewfuture ok Bobby
@@anewfuture agree
Great to see Levy bouncing back. Fully enjoying all the recaps regardless of the outcome. Very informative stuff.
Cheering you on, Levy! I'm glad you're sticking it out through the tournament and taking us along for the journey regardless the outcome. Good job!
You are really putting yourself out there, it's a lot of pressure, even for someone like you that doesn't really care much what other people think. What people loves to see more than someone that falls, is someone that keeps getting up and continue forward! Keep it going Levy!
The fact that you make time to summarize your games after playing them. Go Levy!!
Me: I should go to bed
Also me: watching Levy eat pizza at 3am
I always enjoy - GothamChess excellent explanation of why he makes the moves that he does. What I would like hear is an explanation of how it is that so many of his opponents can make their moves so fast. Is it preparation, is it that they play a lot of bullet chess, is it that they have been using the woodpecker method of training? I play 10-minute games and I really need to learn to think faster. I win a lot of games because my opponents make many more blunders than I make, but I lose way too many games on time, because almost all of my opponents play faster than I play. Note - I play in the 900 - 1000 range, and I play and want to continue to play 10-minute games. I can play fast enough in the opening, but have time trouble in the middle game. If I can go into an end game with a couple of minutes on my clock, I usually win , but usually I have less than a minute to find a checkmate or lose on time.
He’s starting to believe.
I love watching your recaps, i get excited in hopes that you won. I never skip ahead for the suspense of it. I was good when i was young, but gave up playing when i was in middle school and did badly at a tournament... lol. I am back at at now and wish I could be on your level. Goodluck going forward! Godspeed!
Even thouhgh you aren't great as hikaru or someone else you got your heart at the right place :) Thaks for the content.
Keep grinding Levy!!! This is some of my favorite content you’ve ever made and I’m sure it takes a lot to put yourself and your skill out in the open like this. You’ve got our support 100% and we can’t wait to see you hit GM!
So happy for you - what an encouraging outing facing your first GM this tournament!❤️🥳
Levy: I'm going to take a bite of my mushroom slice.
Me: Well, there's your problem right there. Dozens of toppings you could choose from, and you settle on fungus.
First post on one of your videos (silent watcher for a quite a while now) glancing through some of the comments and seeing a lot of bitter people on here......Why they feel the need to post such sh*t is beyond me. The up's and downs, the good, the bad and the ugly you're laying it all out on the line which takes balls and is what most of us go through in our lives.....be bloody boring otherwise. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for the deep dive into moving the B knight to a3 and the check with the queen avoiding the damaging of pawn structure. I often get stuck as a kings indian player with development on that side the board when the opponent decides to take the knight on f6
We love you Gotham, for giving us amazing content and putting yourself out there! Ignore the haters and the Reddit threads.. Haters are always going to hate 🤷♀️
14:42 - what a savage move. Didnt see it at all, im so excited!

Petition for Levy to make shirts that say “Get Forked”
You can do this Levy. Even if you don't get gm title, you're still the best chess streamer. And you're doing a lot for the game we love in terms of recent popularity. Supporting you all the way from Namibia! 🇳🇦
I think what a lot of back seaters don't realize.
Levy is basically broadcasting himself taking very difficult tests/finals for 1+ million viewers and then having to deal with youtube chat haters on top of that.
“I’m not sure if I’ve ever eaten.” - Levy
I just wanna say as someone that has had to push to get where I wanna be, proud of you for continuing on even when it's hard and you feel like quitting or curling up into a ball. Even moreso because of how many people are watching. Just know you have more support than you have of people wanting you to fail.
Dude you’re fucking brave and awesome. Proud of you dude. Love seeing your progress and triumphs. The journey is worth it and worth watching
It doesn’t matter if you lose or win, when you show us these matches some people might judge you and say you’re an idiot for not playing some moves. But, you have the courage to show your matches and break them down to highlight your mistakes and improve upon them! That’s sportsmanship! We never made it to GM norms, but you did! We all love you Levy! Keep up the grind!
And all the best for your next rounds!
"Of all the strategems, to know when to quit is the best"
Hey Levy, these master games explained are extremely instructive to us and give a lot of insight in the positions (for me, a caro kann player). So even if there are bad results you are consolidating yourself as one of the youtube greatest content creators and we appreciate the journey with you =)
i appreciate that quiet moment when Gotham takes a bite of his pizza
Levy, I'm proud of you, it's not easy to get back up after playing horribly (from your own standards), after back to back losses picking ourselves up and taking one step at a time takes courage and strength. I admire that quality in you, keep moving forward 😊
gotham really feeling comfortable in these recaps. One more loss and he starts the next recap with a cig already in his mouth.
casual food break half way through lol. Levy acting like he streaming haha
I think recaps of tournaments levy plays is my favorite kind of chess video on UA-cam, don’t be too critical of yourself, you are the biggest chess content creator for a reason. Also , if possible it would be really nice if u could invite an opponent to do a recap together, so we hear both sides of the board!
Even tho things are tough in this tournament I still eagerly wait each day to watch your content and that has to count for something. I know there are others as well that feel the same. Well done and thanks Levy.
Levy, I bought one of your courses mid-December, and this series of game breakdowns you've posted has made me so glad that I did.
If you're ever in Seattle, I'd love to buy you a beer, or kombucha on tap, or a martinelli's ;).
5 stars for the game, 5 stars for the pronunciation of the weird opponent name haha
When Levi's losing:I don't know what I'm doing
When Levi's not losing: I don't know what to do
Thanks for stepping into the arena and sharing the journey with us.
Wholesome Levy, wholesome comments, good chess, what's not to love? And if you really want that GM title, I agree with others saying that we can live with fewer videos. Daily updates plus streams plus training is quite a lot for anybody.
Nothing but props to you for showing the real and being transparent. True bravery, and you are an inspiration to all of us trying to improve. Thank you for the excellent content you create!
10:00 human confirmed
10:07 ngl this is why we love you
Dude you're a beast for doing these videos. Props to you and keep up the good work. Really rooting for you!!
Well done. Positive momentum has to start somewhere, build on this. Lovely entertainment as always. Raw emotion watching your journey. Hope the rest of the mushroom tart was awesome too.
We all been there. Drawing a player with a higher ELO to learn the computer think your winning.
Check game report “+2.5! God damn!”
I'm so happy you managed to get back some confidence today!
No matter the 'what if' scenario, you got off feeling better about going through your worst nightmare which is the strongest W anyone in the tournament has managed to get so far.
I don't care if you have bad games, everyone has those.
You are out there and you're facing your fears, and every time you do just that, you get one step closer to being the complete chess player you need to be for the GM norm.
Only Levy would randomly eat a mushroom slice in the middle of his video and not cut it out
12:30 is the best part starting
It is going to be so sweet to watch you one day become a GM. Rooting for you dawg.
It made me happy to see that you seemed happier about your play this round
rooting for ya, Levy. you're a legend.
Levy only drew so he could end the recap quicker and go eat. That’s the real chess move
Levy, I remember in one of your videos you said not to respect the ELO of your opponent. Not to think about what their level is and let it get to you. It was good advice and it's always stuck with me wheneverI play chess. Hopefully next tournament it's in your head too. We're all rooting for you.
He finally believed in himself. The anime powerup finna blast off.
Two good results against GMs! That’s how it looks to me. And the videos are as ever fantastically instructive. Hope you can recover your normal good energy once this tournament is over. Good luck with the final games!
Nice "pause the video" moment while you chew on that slice! Remember: eye contact with the camera conveys "sincerity". Don't be embarrassed by your score! None of us are playing there.
Eating that pie is a boss move Levi.. Love it.
The decision to draw was the right one IMO. It's the only game where you left the board on a good feeling and it's important that you don't give up. You will get stronger mentally and we will support you throughout.
