this nonsense needs to stop. Magnus is a god in blitz and rapid, absolutely miles ahead, but in classical he is no longer invincible or the top dog. Yes his rating is still the highest, but he has lost 40 points since his world championship win over nepo, didnt get a single win in his last supertournament, and is declining invitations to big tournaments like tata steel. He is almost at his lowest rating in over a decade

He still can crush anyone and everyone but yaa he's not getting any younger so might be dropping a few games here and there.

Emarati is only for people from the UAE. just like Bahraini is for people from Bahrain, and Kuwaiti is for people from Kuwait. The thing that applies to many countries that you are talking about would be (Khaleeji) which is just Arabic for a person from the Gulf.
according to google, the Emiratis, or الإماراتيين (alemaratiyin) pronounced like al-emarati-yin is correct. in some other countries they are called: Arab Emirati. or just Al-emarati-yun. not sure about any other languages. i'm sure there are different pronunciations depending on the different languages

And to make it easy for others, the word for what you call a people from a place is "demonym". Also, Wikipedia has a list of all countries and their English demonyms, which is pretty cool.
During the game I thought, if Vidit can do it then vidit did it and then it turns out that he did it. Now if he wins tomorrow and we all know he can do it because he did it, he can surely do it, and we can say that Vidit did it again.
Yo Lev, another good series idea, do a video with this tempo but cover historical tournaments. I forget which Linares tournaments were the best ones, but Kasparov had alot of his best showing there and I remember seeing games along the way. I would love to see a series on Linares with the strongest players of the last era
15:30 Levy, if you are really curious... It is because in those big cities it isn't being played as much where as in places like Wijk aan Zee and Zandvoort the game is being played more.
@@jasperbaku8136 Tata Steel is a giant area covering several square kilometers between IJmuiden, Wijk aan Zee and Beverwijk.

Korobov is such a cool guy, I'm happy he managed to beat another strong gm like hans niemann! He likes chess and likes to talk and play with bad chess players too. I had the chance to play vs him a couple years ago because he used to watch small twich streamers, and i happened to be there too!
Congratulations vidit but it's hard as a chess fan and an Indian to remember who is our current best Thanks Gotham chess for keep updating I watch your videos daily ☺️
Vidit takes Wei yi with black tomorrow...India no. 1 already breaks in 2750 and if he can win tata steel that would be some great chess by him in span of 6 months
I think presenting 10 games in a 30 minute video is a very Good idea Gotham! The social media is leaning towards short format content So having many different games in a video keeps the viewer entertained and you get the Juicy watchtime :) Good video and great chess ofc 😂
The tournament is held in Wijk because the steel company that sponsors it (originally Hoogoven, and then Tata Steel) are based in Wijk. It was originally created to to give something back to the community and the whole town buys into it. There were many amateur tournaments playing alongside the main tournaments, and when I played there in the 80s the competitors in these tournaments stayed with families in the town. I assume the same is true today.
20:57 Someone born in the U.A.E. would be Emirati. A more general term for someone from the middle east would be 'Arab'. Interesting fact: About 11% of the UAE population is Emirati, rest are expats.
Question: why does he refer to vidit as vidit gujrathi when vidit appears as surname (vidit, santosh gujrathi). At first i thought it was like in chinese ,where u say the surname first (like wei yi), but then i see that anand appears as Anand, Viswanathan, and we call him vishy anand (given name first). If any indians or overall people that know the reason could answer me, i would appreciate it ✌️
@@adityaranaut576 so why is his name not written as" Santosh Gujrathi, Vidit" or "Gujrathi, Vidit Santosh" like all the others in a "surname, name" format?
Same Only chess content I used to watch at first was traps and maybe openings.. but now I follow all these top level games and watch speedruns everywhere and play all day 😂
I’m telling you, Levy is as cracked as he is jacked. I saw him at a 7-11 the other day buying Monster and adult diapers. I asked him what the diapers were for and he said ”they contain my full power so I don’t completely shit on these kids“ then he castled out the door
@15:02 isn't that mate if he(gukesh) sacrifices the bishop or knight on h6. If pawn take then queen h6. If he takes with knight it's a fork so he needs to take back with the pawn.
Gosh, I love your enthusiasm and how pleasantly contagious it is. I doubt I'm learning that much from top-level games but I do hope that perhaps osmosis kicks in and I atomize a few tricks :D thanks for the great work Levy
I wish Anish and Jorden had played the game that Wei Yi and Ju Wenjun played. That really would've messed with Levy's jokes - "A Dutch and a Dutch meet up in the Netherlands and play a Dutch"...
4:30 I had complained in a previous video about not showing standings & about the spent duration being short. Here I felt like Levy is personally replying to me with his passive aggression 😂😂 I totally understand your point man. Thank you for your amazing content! Much love ❤️😄
At 7:17 why did Vidit moved his king to g4 and why not rook to d2 instead of king move [As then Rook to d8 would be checkmate] ?? I am definitely missing something, can anyone please explain ?
The fact that levy can make me watch a 30 min unedited video is singlehandedly keeping my attention span alive

Pragg's Duolingo Streak Freeze was too powerful
14:17 I am more impressed when GM's find 3-fold repetitions than I am when they see a 12-move checkmate.
Not really finding it, Gukesh just blundered good in pragg for recognizing it tho but maybe he missed it to lol
It's amazing how competitive the field is without Magnus eating everyone alive.
It’s an illusion. Magnus is still only playing one game at a time. The coverage makes it seem less competitive.

You can say Emirati
It applies to many countries, such as Bahraini, Kuwaiti, and Qatari. I hope that the translator conveyed the idea
Well we get a hint from his nickname "The ARABIAN Falcon"

Calling them Emirati feels like calling British people "Kindomer" ngl
or better just say Arab
according to google, the Emiratis, or الإماراتيين (alemaratiyin) pronounced like al-emarati-yin is correct.
in some other countries they are called: Arab Emirati. or just Al-emarati-yun.
not sure about any other languages. i'm sure there are different pronunciations depending on the different languages

Pragg claiming that three move position is cold .
Dang . Did on the move that wouldve given Gukesh more time.
in 8:57 to 9:41 when you said his friends, you are not going to talk because you should pay attention to this pawn, yet you never stopped talking.
