Ey that's cool!
Well done bro! Keep it up💪🏽
Pin of? Pin of greatness
I want pin of shame look at my comment loser
Pin of shame :D (jk)
Levy´s run was so good Kramnik started doing "The Procedure"
“Lets do the procedure” - Kramnik’s hands
In Russia, the procedure does kramnik.
kramnik's statisticians are on high alert right now
Kramnik by now, IS the procedure
Kramnik comedically puts on a pair of surgical gloves
First game was pretty impressive the 1400 didn't blunder anything in the first set of moves. Not just based on elo, but nerves facing you must have been high
Not just levy, but the camera looking at him all the time. Respect for the nerves on that guy.
He played well, but he didn't see the positional idea of clamping the queenside, very common theme against hangging pawns strucutre, but i think not even 1800s would be aware of that, he did play a bit above his level for a while
Oh boy oh boy, oh boy. Y’all smoothies
@@Chessdummy triple digit elo comment
@@lucasmatsuocacan you elaborate more on this im a 1200 rapid scrub
Since you started to push yourself to be a gm, I started to push my self to learn lead guitar. I been playing for 12 years but it's a skill I never really picked up till now and you really inspired me to push myself. Thanks man.
Keep it up legend.
Good luck. Incredible skill to learn.
It’s not that hard once you just start having fun! Play things at your level that sound cool and slowly get better at them. Good luck👍👍
I thought you were roasting Levy with the 12 year part till I read fully 😂
What a legend👏beautiful instrument
Good job Levy, we’re all proud of you. Now do it with a blindfold.
His name is not magnesium Charleston
No, but it is Lebistlon, rook sacrifistion@@nacht3675

With his hands tied and no glasses. While driving

Thank you so much for coming to my chess club I co-founded! Sadly I wasn’t around to see you 😁
Please come back anytime, we loved having you ❤
- Pub Chess Toronto team
Thanks for founding the chess club
Nice
Putting the drink at the edge of the table made me so nervous
Spilled Drink Gambit
Lol was thinking the same on First game when it was between both of the clocks.
Adjusted later though, but he didn't say adjust!!!
20-0 Is genuinely just fucking incredible, Congratulations Levy!!!! 🎉
Not when you’re playing people a 1,000 les elo then you
@@PackIsBack32 still not even a draw is quite good
@@PackIsBack32your a ray of sunshine are you grow up
Bruh he is playing against viewers basically. I wouldnt even have commented but why introduce the vid like he did wut. Hes not gonna gm.
@@PackIsBack32 bro literally shut up
The second opponent was so wholesome and so annoying at the same time but props to him for playing on.
hahaha i may never have the opportunity to play him again, had to play on and troll a little. I should have resigned before move 1 to be fair.
@@KenyGrey how do we know you're the same player as in the vid🤔?
@@Kira28720 i thought the internet was good at those things
@@KenyGreyThe self depracation and trolling is the annoying part to me. Theres no shame in trying and losing to Levy, but I'm not particularly interested in watching someone that's clearly given up on a match.
Im just some rando on the internet but you seem like a cool dude and a good player. Play it out and try even when you start to struggle. I think you'll get more out of it.
@@MrChessboxing you have 5 minutes with THE Gotham Chess, do you 1. play a game of no consequence in silence, or 2. play some chess and also make conversation with one of your chess heroes?
Levy said "I'm the best GTE OF all time".
The girl: "No way!!"😂😂😂
what does it mean?
"guess the ELO"@@trofffe596
@@trofffe596 It means she has no clue that Levy's the only GTE player of all time.
Love the casual environment for the tournament! More events should be done in a place where you can play and order drinks simultaneously!
As a Brit I would crush at drinking, not so much the chess though 😔
Lol the ending
“I’m the greatest guess the ELO player of all time!”
“No wehhhh”
Your videos are actually so helpful. I just won a game because I remembered one thing you said in video from 2021. It was a position where oponents bishop goes on H6, you capture with pawn, oponent takes pawn with queen. Pretty common tactics, but you said this is bad if you can kick the queen with a bishop. And that is exactly what I did. Thanks to you I enjoy chess way more than when I started. Thank you
This was a really great video format. Fun to see you out and about in the world.
Great to see you putting yourself out there again Levy! Looking forward to more content like this.
The first upload which didn't have 999,999 exclamation marks
Edit: nvm he added them back 😞
wtf is an explanation mark
edit: original commenter put "explanation" instead of "exclamation"
exclamation marks 🤓☝️
@@Jrush2000 Those are those blue things you always see in Magnus Carlston games 😂
@@Jrush2000 Uh, let me tell you... -- Mark
@@skuitarist the guy edited the original comment from "explanation" to "exclamation" fyi
Absolutely love watching footage of you playing OTB. When you play your next tournament it would be dope if you got someone to commentate your game live like the Boetz sisters did recently.
HUGE!! 🙌
Ermmm??

Here before this before this becomes popular
Congratz on your win!!! I literally just competed in a high school beginner chess tournament yesterday and came in third place. Got 5 wins and lost once only to the champion. Looking forward to getting my CFC rating next week.
Great job, Levi. Very excited for the coming content. You have inspired me to look for local tournaments. Love from Texas.
6:56 first guy touches queen, moves rook... Levy don't care he just win
Touch move is a dumb rule anyway
@@kza6648Doesn’t stop people from calling you out on it unfortunately
tbf the position for white is so so nice that you kind of don't care. I know the engine gives only small advantage, but the bind on the queenside just feels like everything under control. Hard to play for black
@@kza6648probably there to prevent swindlers. at high level it is pretty stupid tho.
right - saw that too
Can we get a clock for the next videos? It'd be interesting to see the time constraints!! Either way, congrats and I'm looking forward to the rest of the matches!
Don’t count since u didn’t sacrifice The ROOK !
Don't count since he is not a GM
“AND HE SACRIFICES THE ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK”
@@no_name4796are you a gm? It’s not easy to do it.
Trust me, you guys are not funny :)
his opponent did!
Congratulations, sincerely. Well done. Onwards and upwards. Really rooting for you.
Congrats Levi! Rooting for you bro. GM is in reach my guy.
jumped out of my seat when you said it was hosted at the Maddy. literally been there hundreds of times. that place is lit for partying, never thought it could be a Chess venue lol
This GM series has made me start watching again, keep it bruh
Pretty nice to see that winning these casual blitz games in a bar was part of the motivation and confidence for trying to get back on the GM grind again. I remember sometime ago after you stopped playing tournaments in 2022 reading someone saying that maybe in a few years if you played some casual games like blitz and won some informal tournaments then you'd get some confidence back and enjoy the game more, and indeed looks like that's happened. In just about 2 years too
Levy never fails to milk himself
He's letting magnesium Charleston recharge so remilk him later
☠
Come on he won a pub blitz tournament against amateur players. Who would not think they will become a GM after that 🤦♂
why wouldn't he? it feels good
@@real_lol_ok88 Pause 💀
This is super wholesome and i love it. I imagine the next two parts might not be as wholesome and might be a little more cutthroat as your opponents get deeper into the tournament and start feeling like they have winning chances .
17:08 "I'm also the greatest Guess the Elo player of all time"
"No way..."
Levy really got that rizz
I can only imagine how terrifying it would be to go to a tournament looking for some good games and just see Levy just sit down across from you. I'd be struck with a sense of awe and then fear as I know I'm about to get utterly crushed.
We had no idea he was at the club, imagine my surprise when walking in and seeing Levy Rozman! And then to be paired with him in the tournament was insane.
The most unreal feeling 😂
So levy played budget MVL. Impressive
You won the poker equivalent of a $20 tournament
With rebuys? I'm in.
CONGRATS LEVY. To many more wins!
Levy can be cured from anxiety but watching his glass so close to the edge of the table and his elbow definitely made me develop anxiety
Good job Levy! We’re very proud of you!
Dood the way he calls himself a demon is so refreshing, love the self confidence and it just gets me so hyped up for him
I love your channel, I haven't played chess since I was about 12ish, 30 years ago, but I got from ~800 rapid to ~1300 by watching your content and a few chessly visits. I now play almost daily, but I am to lazy to really apply myself to climb further. Anyway, I follow all you post for about three year now. This last video is one of my all time favorites! I hope you'll get the GM title you deserve. Thank you!
Levy: I won all games at a turnament
Me: Wow your back! Maybe we were wrong and he will manage to become a GM after all.
Also Levy: plays against 1400s
Early candidate for pin of shame
@@jakerydont No, he just said facts.
Maby it benefits his confidence
@@jakerydont man be out here glazing
@@gredax true
And he donates….. THE ROOK!
I would like narration over this games, like Anna Cramling do
I don't think Levi's mom is a famous GM
I think he's reserving that for patreon content, if I'm not mistaken
Do you prefer the banter between two talkative people playing, or do you prefer voiceover analysis?
Hybrid. Explain textual in voiceover and strategic in analysis
@@GothamChessvoice over analysis would be nice. Your thoughts as it progress. Muting when there is banter.
Great job! Just another day without milking Magnus!
Gotta let me magnesium Charleston recharge so levy can remilk him again
nah, he mentioned magnus at some point
He will inevitably relapse
GM or no GM, this guy is the best chess player in my opinion, He teaches everything to us, he spreads his knowledge to all of us, and makes our chess skills better, making chess much more competitive in the near future.
Levy i am 10 and i just reached 1600 with a game at 97% accuracy. thank you for teaching me the openings i still use today and teaching me everything i know about the game.
Love the format of this video. I like watching you playing and talking with your opponents fairly casually. Much better than the chess hustler videos where people are just trying to diss each other. This felt cozy
I don't often see reti gambit in the french defense opening, seems like it paid off, well played.
Edit : I was short enough to not be that important but still.
"Alright let's see these endgame skills."
"Oh no, there is none, I just wanna say that I got there and then people can infer." 😂
Meow button -------------->

Meow ?
IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU LEVY YOU DESERVE IT!!
bro really lined up a bunch of 1500s and clapped their asses
"My opponents were 1400, 1700, 2000, 2200, and 2500." I wouldn't say that is lining up 1500s...
Congrats!! Always feels good to win a tourney regardless of the setup and level. I was in Montreal a few years back and really loved these meetups. I went to a pub where they had chess and backgammon tournaments every week.
Levy playing a bunch of drunks in a pub priming himself to be a GM. 😂
your comment is a perfect "tell me you are bellow 800 elo without saying you are bellow 800 elo"
Levy´s run was so good Kramnik started doing "The Procedure"
Congrats🎉
Hell yeah Levy! That’s an awesome return to tournaments. Looking forward to being there when you get the title!
Bro did some noob stomping and got fully gassed, like me going up against bronze players in league and thinking I'm faker
bronze players are not equal to 1700 players lmao
League player detected, opinion devalued.
i love noob stomping
@@db5094 they never said they are. He said a bronze player for him is like a 1400 and 1700 to levy
That first 1400 looked a lot better than 1400 in the middle game, just a bit of nerves at the end on low time
Imagine beating a 1400 elo player as an international master and making a video about it for 5 million people
Who cares? Makes for a fun vid
He joined a tournament and runs a chess channel on youtube. Why would he not upload this?
His opponents are harder each match. He has multiple over 2k
He wasnt a dick about beating him also you gotta start lower in a tournament
Loved your content for about a year. It got me back into (just the edges) of chess. Going over to patreon now. You obviously know this or you wouldn't have started down the path but -- you got this.
Wow bro you beat unrated players on some cheap roll up chess mats in a pub ! Definitely a grandmaster in the making
😂
What did you achieve in life? My little man child, lol.
There were players rated above 2000. He didn't lose or draw a single game against any of them... The top rated player there was the same ranking as Gotham...
that 1400 played really well for a long time. Makes sense to eventually slip up against a stronger opponent
19 seconds, no views bro fell off
Levy's on fire. He looks super relaxed and confident 👊 And that pub looks awesome.
my greatest congratulations Levy! amazing dedication to your sport, We stand by you and eagerly await any news from you!
idk why but i like the informal “bar” setup with everybody talking over everybody randomly. Very cozy ❤
Lyrics:
I realized when I'm in a comfortable setting
And I'm not feeling the anxiety or the nerves of competition
I AM A DEMON
That night I played 20
Games, and I went 20
And 0
Enjoy episode 1 of my little trip to Toronto
At the madison avenue pub tournament
Here we GO!
Im gonna be joining another tournament next month! Wish me luck :) i jusy started playing this year, and i hope to improve a lot
"I am a demon" - just started watching but it makes me so happy to hear Gotham speak with such confidence. You are a quite fine, even spectacular, chess player. Comparing yourself to Magnus and Hikaru always felt like you were unfairly beating yourself up :). Look forward to this series!
LOL ok you put these guys away, love the easy confidence and banter! Look forward to the rest of this series
Huge fan of this video. Love the style and seeing you playing out in the world. Absolutely cannot wait for the next two and congratulations on your result!
Congrats brother !😊
Full drinks and blitz games give me anxiety.
But great job! Everyone who follows and learns from you know this isn’t a small feat!
This might be one of my favorite videos of Levy. That tournament looks like it would have been a blast.
Both of his opponents were really nice
I can't believe Levy hung mate in one and the opponent didn't see it. Absolute madman.
Levy I’m proud of you, keep training for way to become a gm. The world is waiting patiently.
Levy unlocked the "I literally dont care" mentality
The lighting is reminiscent of an underground chess club where competitors wager live organs.
damn, thats cold, no commentary or analysis, just a raw video of him stomping. Levy is pumped
congratulations levy, happy to see your great performace and hope you can achieve GM title very soon!
Levy, on 25th October 2025 : I'm a GM!
Levy: "When I'm comfortable and relaxed, I can go 20-0."
Also Levy: "I don't need a sports psychologist."
Good for you man that's awesome!! Can't wait to see the analysis videos!
Congratulations, Levy! This is great news!
What a setting. This is like where you go when you die at the Chessboard.
The thumbnail would make you think you were the only one who was nervous. No matter who you play, they're also nervous.
this is the video which deserved 1904388 exclamations
Gotham: I won it 5/5
Kramink: hmmmm cheating
Wow what a really good day... Levy winning a tournament after two years that he didn't play.. Good job! And Czechs winning ice hockey championship after 14 years. For me as a Czech seems unreal.
That's fun when your opponnent touch piece but moves another one. (that's illegal in chess tournaments)
Wow i knew he didn't have a good candidates but didn't know Alireza is a 1400 now
I’m actually proud of Gotham. There’s people who talk about what they will do, and there’s people who do.
“Greatest guess the Elo player of all time” 🤣🤣 17:12
Kramnik: “That was interesting. Let us do the procedure now.”
That was pretty cool! Great games Levy. Having a casual conversation in game 2 with positional flow!
Since this was more of an informal club setting, it was fun seeing you chat with the 2nd opponent. :)
1st game, great positionally, getting those two nights to those black squares. 2nd opponent, that guy began defending incorrectly and it snowballed from there.
Nice games!
As a Toronto native, the Madison is a great pub and everyone should go there.
i know you get a lot on banter with your viewers but good job man that's amazing getting 5/5. Good luck on your GM journey! :)
The second opponent will someday not become a grandmaster. Perhaps a talk show host.
