You’d think if you’re gonna be too prideful to shake hands you’d at least not look like a middle schooler trying to avoid eye contact with their crush.
Pro move in this situation would be to stare at your opponent the whole match instead. You've already got him looking anywhere but at you, take the opportunity to make him as uncomfortable as possible. Who knows, it might put him off his game a bit.
Well, there was a long interview with Kramnik not long ago where he explained his view on that tournament. While toilet issue may sound funny it actually was a serious problem. Basically Kramnik suspected that after forcing him to go to public tiolet instead of the one restricted to players only next step would be some convenient guy suggesting him a move on the way there with scandal and possibly disqualification following. So he refused to play on such terms as his whole career and reputation could be destroyed if he was right
Kramnik: *goes in the toilet and takes out the paper in his pocket* The paper: "A pawn may capture en passant a horizontally adjacent enemy pawn that has just advanced two squares in one move. It's always forced." Kramnik: FFFUU***KKK ! I blundered En Passant !!!

normally i cant watch YT content for more than 15min but the way you tell the story or strategy and also make it informative and fun to watch really makes me forget that im wachting videos of 30min or 50min+ keep it up!
Thank you Levy for making a video on Topalov, as a Bulgarian I can confirm he’s considered a hero among us; it’s a shame his international reputation is less than stellar (he’s a brilliant chess mind though)
Love it! So much drama. I just found your channel because of the BBC clip about chess streamers and the impact of the Queen's Gambit. I used to play a little bit of chess as a child, and we had a chess club at my elementary school, but it was all very basic. We didn't learn a lot of advanced chess and I never even came close to doing a ranked match. Then I saw QG and it has definitely renewed my enthousiasm.
On Kramnik's keychain was a tiny flashlight, of the kind you use to see the keyhole in the dark. Unknown to the chess organisers, Kramnik's manager was writing secret messages in invisibility pen on the white tiles, and Kramnik would use his ultraviolet flashlight to read them, then wipe them off and resume the match.

10:55 It's so strange that president of FIDE is not at the spot of world championship from the beginning. Especially if he is also head of the republic, in capital of which the match goes.

We cannot know what happened for sure, but you have to admit that Kramnik going up to 50 times to the bathroom each game is not normal... Every game!!!
I mean when you see the lengths the KGB went for doping athletes by drilling through walls in bathrooms to change samples around it's hard not to think they had a way to get him a computer of some sort.
It's not normal. He was using the bathroom as a tactic to annoy tupolov. Kasparov would go to his waiting room after every move during his match with Anand
Even if Gotham makes a 1 hour video, I will definitely watch it completely because Gotham sends good vibes and is so cheerful that he lifts up my mood. Thankyou Dad!

Im bad in english so i didnt understand so well what you said in the storytime but I like the chess games that you show us everyday, youre a great person
9:34 Okay, while I don't think for a second that he cheated, those timings are very weird. It's like each time he went into the toilet he forgot he needed a piss and walked out without going.
One of the most entertaining chess videos i have ever seen ... i was not into chess at that period of time unfortunately , and i heard about this incident but did not now any details ... thanks brother 😁
Expectation: Veselin Topalov lends his hand to Vladmir Kramnik with a chess piece in hand after losing a chance to be the next world chess champion and hugging it out as a way of showing appreciation for his amazing play. Reality: 30:04
Gotham, you say "that's the most savage move I've seen in your life" a lot in your videos. Could you make a compilation of the most savage moves you've ever seen? (Not a slight as I know chess is an evolving game).

"Instead, kramnik is a human being"- famous last words
"Meanwhile, Kramnik is just like The dog in the fire meme: "This is fine. Yeah, this is good"
i thought the rule was if someone put out their hand to shake, then you must. If neither wants to shake, you dont have to. Something like that
This video is very ironic now hahahahahhahaha
Topalov with his signature dynamic move...
Projection.
A video on Igor Rausis would be interesting. The person who got banned by fide and GM title stripped for cheating
9:34 Okay, while I don't think for a second that he cheated, those timings are very weird. It's like each time he went into the toilet he forgot he needed a piss and walked out without going.
Kramnik finds this video very interesting
One of the most entertaining chess videos i have ever seen ... i was not into chess at that period of time unfortunately , and i heard about this incident but did not now any details ... thanks brother 😁
The long awaited remake of two girls one cup has come
More like a demake
Dude the clip at the end was golden 30:18
Expectation: Veselin Topalov lends his hand to Vladmir Kramnik with a chess piece in hand after losing a chance to be the next world chess champion and hugging it out as a way of showing appreciation for his amazing play.
Reality: 30:04
Bg5 at 6:10 is next level shit, holly crap, please tell me that was only found with the engine!
Gotham, you say "that's the most savage move I've seen in your life" a lot in your videos. Could you make a compilation of the most savage moves you've ever seen? (Not a slight as I know chess is an evolving game).
I was studying the semi-slav defense, and Levy uploads this video...Thanks!
This is great... I'm a fan of kramnik play because I still don't understand his play and there's not much of a video of him... I would be happy to watch another video of him in gothamchess 🤗
