Did you really call Hikaru a scrub?
This shouldn’t have gotten PoS
🎉🎉🎉
p-p-pin of shameee
He's not wrong
pin of ignorance
Vidit is Hikaru’s biggest enemy… beat him twice and lost to Nepo twice
Vidit just does not want hikaru to win lol
Vidit got personnel problems with Hikaru after that king sacrifice game.
By law of transposition we know who the better player is :v
Lmao true, the man is a beast
Damn
30:59 If I put myself in Vidit’s shoes, Ian beats me while I’m wearing Vidit’s shoes.
Vidit also lost to Ian in Vidit’s shoes, so not too different)
@@user-te7rf8ik7z I mean.. technically, u r right :D
Just don't walk around too much in Vidit's shoes either.
@@KanriKaenan What about Alireza's shoes?
And if you wear Alireza's shoes?)
“White goes on a minority attack” - Levy
lmao xD
That's hilarious 😂
that pause afterwards had me thinking he was going somewhere dark
"It's called the quiet slav, yeah find me one of those"
Threw me off
Had to double take on that one
😂😂
Me too😂
Wait when did he say this. Imma need a timestamp. I don’t wanna rewatch this again
😂
Nepo has plot armour
He is the main character
Yes author favours him
Nepo in championship 💀
😂
He almost lost though multiple times.
Vidit got his 3rd win against Hikaru today.
4th win probably
*4th
Lmao
And a win against himself 😂
.
That last match BROKE. MY. HEART.
And I'm just watching this entire tournament through your recaps. You truly capture the ESSENCE of CHESS with your content.

Not all heroes wear capes
I kinda feel bad for pro chess players, imagine playing a sport and the commentators just have live access to what you could have/should have done better and every avoidable mistake you make is on display
Real. It's like them having an engine that says oh if Nadal had only taken three steps left before receiving instead of two he wins that point 10/10.
That's why I don't like the eval bar for commentators as it reduces the moves, the thought process, the calculation, the time pressure, just psychological pressure into numbers that basically means absolutely nothing to most people.
@@nostalgicdouchebag1912 when a commentators are seeing the eval bar and we see the eval bar, and we think: "everthing is under control", but then 1 move and bar goes from full white to full black and everyone loses their mind. That is more entertaining than anything.
@@harnageaa As entertaining as it may be, it creates a toxic asF chat
commentary would be better if they simply gave their own thoughts without the engine. ai is destroying everything.
Your commentary makes these classical games so entertaining to watch. Thank you mister Levy.
This commentary is not sustainable at live matches tho. 😢
@@aniketprasad3128the live commentary is pretty good too, more time to go into detail at each line
@@aniketprasad3128what are you talking about live games are fun too
@@aniketprasad3128 are you really that clueless? If he had used the same commentary during the live game it would be dead silent for 90% of the time.
@@sanjuu1988 have yall watched his live commentary? it's still really good and he is great at predicting moves
Alireza knocking out the guy who snitched on him, what a BMF 😂
what happened
@@07Lightless Last round, Abasov told the arbiter about loud noise made by Alireza's shoe. The arbiter then went to ask Alireza not to walk loudly and change his shoe next round, which irritated Alireza and caused him to make some complaints on X (Tweeter).
@@07Lightless Abasov called the arbiter to complain about Alireza's shoes making too much noise when he was walking around. So, FIDE made him do Alireza do something.
Alireza commented on it after today, and said that Abasov had every right to complain, if something's breaking his concentration he has to say something, and said that it was obviously FIDE's fault for not planning for people to be walking around considering the way the venue is built.
@@07Lightless Abasov asked the chief arbiter to order Alireza to stop walking because his shoes were making too much noise during the game. Following this, the arbiter asked Alireza, who was playing a critical match against Nepo, to cease walking and switch shoes for the next day. This upset Alireza, leading him to tweet about how unprofessional it was for the arbiter to interrupt his reflection to ask him to stop walking. Some people called Alireza "a crybaby" for complaining on Twitter, but most professional players I've heard from said it was abnormal for an arbiter to do this and that he should have waited until the end of the game to address the shoe issue. The match against Nepo was crucial for Alireza as it could have enabled him to win the tournament. At one point, Alireza held a strong advantage, which he later lost. Whether the arbiter's intervention affected the result remains unknown, but the mere fact that we can ask this question is problematic as an arbiter should never influence the outcome of a game outside of the standard chess regulations.
Abasov complained to the arbiter that alirezas shoes were too loud/distracting, ironically leading to alirezas distraction after an arbiter told him mid game about his shoes
Rooting for Hikaru & that Lei Tingjie draw find was insane, good games all around
Why are you rooting for an asshole?
Same here,Despite being an indian

Thank you for your daily recaps Levy! Amongst all the trolls and shit-talkers I just want to tell you how much I appreciate your effort in explaining the candidates in an educational and welcoming way that even us Chess Brainlets can appreciate!

@@Parshelix Joke on alireza's hobby of fashion.
I watched Ian and vidit live as well, what and amazing battle from the two of them. A masterclass in grit from Ian and incredible courage shown by vidit. Huge respect to them both!
Ian is ruthless when applying the pressure. That’s why he’s been the favourite, and he proved it yet again.
This needs to be called Hikaru queens gambit squared
David Howell also called it Queen's Gambit Squared on broadcast. Cool name
Bes time kiddo
Not clickbait enough
Hikaru being an absolute madlad prepping for queens gambit squared xDDD
@@xinythi no he didn't. It was Tania. Give the girl some credit lol she gets all the negativity from people and then doesn't even get credit for a good joke she made.
love your recaps levy! even though i watch the games live, I always watch your recaps anyways. keep up the great work
What a boss performance from Naka, just bullied Pragg with the black pieces. Almost Magnus like, fuck all the theory imma just play some wild shit and make you think.

i’ve been enjoying the daily updates on the candidates tournament so much my exams are coming up lately so i love waking up every morning to a new video and i watch it at breakfast (im in asia) which gives me motivation to study afterwards
watching chess videos and studying is basically my life right now i just want to say thank you so much for this series it’s really the highlight of my day
Very inspiring comment. Love to asia.
I have never watched the chess candidates before, but this year I've watched all of your recaps. Your videos have gave me interest to play chess again. You are absolutely entertaining and you make me realize how beautiful chess really can be when played by high level players!
last candidates was more entertaining, you could watch that, it was insane
The way you explain chess makes sense to me. Like the old Finegold videos from SLCC
I bet vidit is literally trying to make hikaru lose😂😂😂😂😂
who do you think he cares more about hikaru or his countryman gukesh? Hikaru stans are so irritating yeah go ask him to play a berlin draw again and save his face instead of being a good chess player and have the balls to play for a win
@@morninglion27 why are you so pressed it was a joke
@@pieceoftoast72 you should have watched the jokers in the live chat to look out for the joke. The simple thing is the self centred arrogant american audience with an avg elo of 400 make the viewing experience of everyone else bad. So keep your poor humor to yourself and cope for your loses in a better way. Bunch of poachers who cant even play basic chess i wonder how overrated fabi and hikaru actually are did you buy their rating just like you bought your top players from other federations?
@@pieceoftoast72 your poor humor is appreciated in your community not the general chess community if you want to act self centred and try to irritate everyone else around you and expect everyone else to be a part of your joke then grow up. Yall 400 elo bots show cased a very good example of how yall treat players other than your fav. Shameful is an understatement for how yall behave in general. Fans are good stans are not and most peeps over here are the second one sadly
@@pieceoftoast72 i just realised my rant is futile you do you y'all are considered low iq donuts for a reason go shout at the top of your lungs and convince yourself that you are funny when everyone else is laughing at you and not your joke
Love all your recap videos man. Been watching you for a long while now. Much appreciated.
The quality looks great, thank you levy for everything
Literally hammering refresh on YT waiting for this one :D sick games today, looking forward to the recap
Brilliant game analysis, particularly the nail-biting matches involving Hikaru and Prague. Certainly highlights the intense competition at this level and the incredibly slim margin between victory and defeat.
I just wanted to say thank you for your channel. In my mid 50's I've not played chess since I was at school and you're rekindled my interest.
Why?
I was 'fortunate' to find myself in a school chess club with an International Master, two National Masters, and a County Champion! No matter how may queens I was given the brutal slaughter instilled in me the belief there would be no further point in my playing!
I’ll summarize the video for everyone:
1- Hikaru might actually win.
2- Vidit is chopped.
3- Alireza is cooked but at least he’s better than Abasov.
4- Nepo is the luckiest man to ever live.
5- Gukesh is the strongest contender but boring as hell to watch.
6- Pragg need to lock in.
7- Fabiano needs to lock in.
8- Abasov never existed.
Vidit is just there to make sure that Naka is not winning
On the Mark!!
No. For a instant hikaru was the lucky man in the world. Nepo losing it's rare. And vidit miss this. And gukesh draw. Hikaru it's danger
Lol
Yeah pretty accurate
Great video! Most of us don’t watch the boring livestream so this video is a great help
Very nice iniciative to give out some free courses as an event reward. I really like what you do for the community and not only to pursue profit, which is a valid thing to do; you really care about showing chess to the world. Thank u so much! It really keeps me motivated now that I decided to get back to chess since Ive been watching your videos.
Greetings from Chile! 🇨🇱
What a round
For real, really kept me on the edge till the end
are you planning to write another chess book? if so i think you should write it for more advanced players. i read your How To Win At Chess and it was great
Thanks for making these videos, I never would have had the motivation to start chess again without you
So ready to watch this!! Kept up with the games today, saw some wild games.

These recaps are amazing.
Next interview blitz, assure the setting allows posture to be comfortable.
E.g. Vishi strategically placed a pillow (or 2) behind his back and was clearly the most comfortable looking.
Vidit played correctly, people are angry because he didn't take the draw and help Hikaru but he knew his position, he had to take chances and go for the win to have any hope of catching, a draw wasn't enough for him.
To his credit he did take chances, he did generate opportunities to win this game, sadly for him he missed them but the intent was correct.
It's not just about Nakamura. Gukesh, Fabi must also be massively pissed at Vidit.
Vidit ruining the run for hikaru
Because he defeated him twice
Then threw to Nepo
@@toSiriusnot only that but throwing the win to nepo and then throwing the draw 20 minutes later

20:09 White goes on a WHAT LEVY?????
Now, this stare today just felt like it was digging into the deepest parts of my soul. 10/10
You have a soul?
these recaps by Levy are like episodes of my favorite show, with so much suspense and drama.
I LOVE your commentary its so f****** funny and informative. Im a newcomer to your content and i dont see myself leaving ever

*Firouzja (w) - Abasov (b) 1 - 0 (24 moves) (remaining time: **1:09:40** - **57:41**)*
Alireza achieved a remarkable victory over Abasov, securing the win in just 24 moves! By taking a look at other Abasov game results in this tournament, we can better appreciate Alireza’s exceptional achievement. However, this significant achievement was not given due attention, and the commentary merely suggested that both players were struggling. Such an oversight does not do justice to the game’s outcome. Additionally, there was a failure to acknowledge the personal challenges Alireza faced, particularly the events involving his father, which impacted his performance in rounds 9 and 10 against Ian and Caruana. Despite conducting an interview with Alireza, the decision not to feature it prominently on the main channel was surprising. Given that Alireza is the youngest player to surpass a 2800 rating, the interview was a noteworthy event. It’s hoped that other chess channels on UA-cam will continue to grow in popularity, offering viewers comprehensive, unbiased, and respectful coverage of the sport.

Hello From India
Levy never fails to fail to qualify for the candidates
Now I am finding this tournament scripted by Magnus's tier list.
I feel like you did a really good job with not signposting the mistakes today. I felt surprised often, and the tension stayed throughout the games really well. Great job!
That's a bad wig levy.
Yo, I lost it at 23:29 with the "find me one of those" lol
Levy's humor shines through
You’re the GOAT of chess commentary. Bringing super GM level chess to the masses is your greatest accomplishment.
In these past two candidates Nepo has gotten extremely lucky with his opponents passing on draws only to ultimately give Nepo the win.
vd, you are the best.... you still can win the candidates agar aap nahi bhi jeete to mere liye aur hum sab ke liye aap hi favourite rahoge aur aap hi best player rahoge.... you are just OP!!! we love you and we'll love you till the end🖤🖤❣️
I applaud the nervous system joke with Hikaru's game. Very well done sir!

Hikaru really bringing his American spirit in this tournament with enthusiasic confidence, hard work but more importantly his heart on his sleeve. He lets us see, share, and we love him for it. Also love watching Humpy slow-bleed her opponents, deadly chess all around! All the players are just awsesome!
