For something that seemed like it was going to be somewhat salacious, this actually turned out to be one of the more wholesome pieces of chess content.
Yeah! I mean, this is marketing clout. Lie detectors are mostly bullshit. There's the editing and scripting and all that.

@@klaushoward9158this 100%. Isn’t it crazy that people being candid is so much more endearing than a bland piece of “you boost me up then I’ll boost you up” my respect for both these guys just went up another notch. Loved it.
I just want to know. What's Lucy's reaction to the question - do u like andrea botez and u said yes. Please tell in one of your videos or in comments 😂. I m really curious.
That Toy Story guy is Geri, he originally appeared in the short “Geri’s Game”. Where he’s shown to be a chess player too! It’s all wrapped back around.
But what if they had tricked a friend by stealing a piece off their board when they looked away and it turns into a real conspiracy regarding their actual profession???
I really respect Levy for still wanting to be a GM and being willing to admit that his acceptance is more coping than genuine. He still wants it, and I want it for him. He's had good enough games and good enough performances that he could probably reach for it, but he's talked about his mental blocks and anxiety that hold him back. That's hard to come to terms with and be honest about, and I respect the crap out of him for talking about it publicly.
The ironic part is while it seems harder, I actually think fixing your mental game and performance anxiety issues would take less time than acquiring the knowledge to make the next move to GM. So if he already has the knowledge and skill (or close to) to be a GM, I think the hardest part is done, he just needs to seek out a good sports psychologist and therapist.
At this point in his age and Elo trajectory... Becoming GM would be a highly irregular and exceptionally rare accomplishment. At one point maybe there was a path to it, but it would be hard to accomplish while running a busy UA-cam channel. Hikaru had the benefit of already being a gm when he started making videos.
@@Daniel-ng8fiI don't think he has the knowledge though. When you see him analyze top level games, or even when playing Hikaru... He's often amazed at the moves they make, in a way that, to me, seems like he doesn't intuitively understand top level moves without analyzing. He's close in terms of ELO as just a number... But even 100 rating points at that upper level is like an entirely different and distant plateau of understanding. Close, yet so far away. Plus, his age. Learning chess, or anything for that matter is significantly harder as you age. Him becoming GM now would be a very atypical path to gm. I think it's the opposite. Psychologically he can can handle it, but he just doesn't have the practical knowledge to be a gm. I can't imagine being able to build a channel like his, and becoming a gm at the same time. If he focused on becoming a gm from a young age, throughout his career, I have little doubt levy could have been a gm. But her shouldn't be so dissatisfied. His career as a creator is way more lucrative, he's got way more recognition than any gm besides Magnus, his job is much more social and interactive and enjoyable than that of a GM's (Hikaru aside lol), he likely has a far bigger impact and influence over the chess world as the top chess creator. The only gm anyone cares about is the #1 for the most part. Everyone else is basically a side note in history. Surely he would ideally want to be a gm AND have his channel... But from where I'm standing, his UA-cam career is a much better choice if having to choose between the two.
@@d-rockanomaly9243 You're implying he wants to be a GM to grow his career and publicity, but that's probably just not true. In reality this guy loves chess and he wants to reach the highest levels of it. What you're saying isn't wrong, he has many disadvantages, but at the same time anything is possible. There are underdogs in every sport.
Danny's honesty about jelousy is actually great, it shows in this recent content that he is in fact comfortable in front of a camera, he does want to create content and this video is spectacular! Hope to see more from this, it's never too late to start making good quality content and help the industry grow!
@@Jared_Witte03 yes, it means 'cap'. Not sure if that's how you use 'cap' but you nailed the meaning regardless. Almost like how no matter how I spell 'jelosy' you'll still get the point. Because spelling is dumb like that. Or humans are smart like that... idk
I clicked for the lie detector content, but the actual video was phenomenal... The evening atmosphere of deep talks was making you hold your breaths much longer than normal... Every question you kept expecting them to get savage about each other...but turns out they both love and respect each others work and skill a lot. Wholesome friendship story and a bit of sneak peak behind their real personalities and some small fragments of info about their personal life or life stories... Dude. This video frickin slapped! Definitely do more, this is gonna get way more views than any other chess videos (maybe excluding the cheating scandal....). However most importantly these kinds of videos will make people realize chess is a great game of mature people bonding over the board. Games tend to be toxic and look at these two gentlemen showing you great example how relaxed you can be while playing a rival...
I comment on almost NO Chess videos. I consume them voraciously, but almost never comment. This video needs to be seen by everyone. Well done, guys, and I'd like to see more of these between other players/content creators.
Completely agree. Hence commenting on your comment (and one other haha). These two always struck me as not being anything other than honest and this video showed that in the best way (didn't need the actual lie detector as they both immediately said yes to the supposedly embarrasing answer).
14:45 This could honestly be a good example of why lie detector tests aren’t accurate. This is the kind of answer that would be stressful to admit out loud. Stress can be for a lot of reasons not just dishonesty. The machine just read that his blood pressure went up, which among other reasons could just mean he was stressed about bragging.
Like you would know anything? And yeah you're kinda right, but that's why he said a little which means unsure, but lie tests doesn't only use blood pressure
@@feli_1 It is widely known at this point by anyone familiar with the literature that “lie detectors” are massively inaccurate and do not meaningfully detect lies. They are a defunct pseudoscience. Yes, they measure more than just blood pressure. That does not mean they have some magic ability to discern truth.
I love how they/Danny asked the lie detector man about his name, how he got his job, about his previous works... I've seen many lie detector videos, and I believe some of them had this man, and no one ever even asked/said his name. You got my like 2 minutes into the video.
Frankly I don't think there is a better chess commentator than Robert Hess. Danya is definitely great too, but Hess is just something else when it comes to that.
For me personally, it's definitely Jan Gustafsson who got me excited about chess again. The combination with Peter Svidler was great, especially the World Championship match between Carlsen and Karjakin
I absolutely love this video. The interaction is so intimate and radically honest. And watching these two be self facing about themselves and their internal sensations about life and GM status.
But he seemed to believe he was telling the truth. So is this detector actually able to pick up his subconscious, true beliefs? Or was it just giving false readings? Personally I am an over thinker. I could imagine myself making myself nervous and throwing off the results lol
It is very cool that two of the most influential individuals in the online chess world would agree to do this. And then you come away thinking that they are both legitimately great people who enjoy what they do and truly love the game of chess. This was awesome. Thanks Levy and Danny.
Actually my favoruite chess event EVER was the Chess WCC 2018 commentary ever commentated by Danny & Hess. And they had guests on like Nakamura when he first started to become a streamer, it was AMAZING to behold as a new chess viewer... Danny & Hess has amazing commentary chemistry.
Wow, Danny's answers were really honorable, he seems like a very decent human being. I think a majority of ppl would have a hard time saying some of these things out loud, respect!
I’ve watch both of u for years, and this is the most entertaining video from y’all ever. Honesty is the best policy and Chess is the best game. Keep the dope content rolling.
WOW! That was a GREAT piece of content. Chapeau!! I always got a bit of an arrogant vibe from Danny, but it turns out he is honest, concerned about his work and admits he has weaknesses in such a heartwarming way. I came for the jokes, i stayed for their personality! Would LOVE a podcast by them!
@@MikkoRantalainenThese machines just check for a reaction, be it pulse or blood pressure. Being afraid to get caught in a lie can of course cause such a reaction, but answering uncomfortable questions honestly can also cause the same reaction. These tests are useless. Fun to watch though
@@MikkoRantalainen No it's completely useless technology for detecting lies, the guy who invented this technology hated how people started using it. People are different, anxiety and stress plays a huge role into how your results come out.
If they were valid they would be used everywhere commonly. Imagine how much easier it is to just connect people to a magic lie detector and ask questions than hire an investigation crew and try to find evidence of crimes
Honestly, i wouldn't be surprised if anxiety when asked a question with more weight made Levy's test read a little off. Danny was definitely more relaxed throughout. I guess i read it more as anxiety/uncertainty/a desire for nuance rather than deception in most of those cases. Anyway it reminds me of myself and my own internal thought processes, and I empathize... i think a lot of answers i believe are truthful would read as doubt. Great video! There was a good dynamic there.
Very cool interview/conversation. I am sorry to say I watch yts and forget to like sometimes but Levy, I like yours more than most. Danny came across as much more likeable than I expected him to. Now to see more lie detector chess games! :D
This is currently the best piece of chess content of all time and will be remembered forever. 🐐🐐's of the chess BOOM pouring their hearts out. Forever honorary GM's and I hope you both eventually get there, we know you can.
This was a great video. And a really frigging interesting premise. I totally buy that Levy prefers the commentary side of things--he's a solid player making a push for GM and I wish him well, but the dude just seems so comfortable in heavy social interaction and gets into these games with such enthusiasm. I'm sure part of it's the brand, but the guy comes off as someone that really enjoys his work. You don't get that rook schtick without at least *some* level of fun.
I'd love to see more content like this, even without the lie detector. Just 2 guys who are immensely influential in the Chess world playing a couple games, and talking about the game, and life in general. Definitely need to get Magnus, Hikaru, and Fabi involved in this sort of setting.
Podcast idea is a solid one. I don't often sit through whole videos but would happily have you both in my ear while walking the dog. Could be more market with folks who aren't on WiFi.
Danny is so freaking amazing. who would open up and say they had multiple step dads as a child this man is amazing. massive love from Canada Danny. Freaking love you dude. xoxo
