    I’m really glad to see Levy having more confidence in his games vs some of his other videos. Levy gives his opponents their respect but he doesn’t give himself the respect her deserves. As long as you’re playing another human, there is always the possibility of winning. I’m glad Levy stuck with his gut more and didn’t overthink his moves as much this game. I’m happy to see that
