When I was 13, I met Magnus Carlsen in Copenhagen. He was really nice, but when I asked him how he got so good at chess, his eyes rolled back and he tapped my head and I woke up 4 days later. Really powerful player, a generational talent.
22:15 Black Knight ~> G4, White Knight ~> G4, Black Pawn ~> G4. Either white takes black pawn with queen, or white blunders the bishop. I’m gonna just assume Magnus would play queen to G4 to capture the black pawn…Pawn to F5 (since the knight is now not ruining my piece progression) makes the queen run for the hills etc…
@@GothamChesses not no paid ads just pure amazing courses! I bought my course at full price and not 50% off and it’s still easily worth it! I recommend this course to everyone who sees this comment. Remember it’s chessly!
When magnus said “It’s winning time” and rose from the dead to beat the living shit out of GM’s, i cried tears of joy. Truly one of the moments of all time ❤
Your presentation is awesome gotham. "The midle strategy at the highest level of the chess game is not to punch each other as hard as possible" is a nice mathematical proposition.
Hi levy im new to chess and missed out on what makes magnus so good. Would love a video with your commentary showcasing some of his best games that made him the world champion
Magnus plays every piece to its absolute best potential. He trades out piece for piece because his end games are the stuff of legend. Tactics and positional game off the charts.
Levy I don't if you're seeing this but thank you men you've really helped me without knowing me to become very good at chess in just a short period of time.Can you believe I started watching you three months ago then I was 380 elo and now am 1100 and am very good at puzzle solving I just hit 42 today in puzzle survival I mean this is just amazing and it's All because of you
I started playing chess recently and want to get my elo rating? where can I get it rated, and good work bro on 1100, hope to reach 1000 myself in 3 months.
5:38 “And the queen sees a whole lot of empty juicy squares to purchase the property and build a high rise, late stage capitalism!” Got me rolling LOL 😂
Hi Levy, not sure if you see this but what about doing a series on GMs playing openings that you've taught us (ex Caruana and the Petrov/Firouzja and the Caro). Just a thought, great video by the way, looking forward to when you reach four mill.
I just bought the course. Tomorrow I am starting with it. This year from 1200 I become 1700 and won three trophies from a chess club and two from tournaments. I am excited for my road to 2200!
Man Levy you delivered on this one, we had everything: Magnus, the London, the ROOOOOK! and some very John Madden /NFL style commentary. It was all there plus in Sept. 2023 you are up to 4.22M subs.
This is one of your best videos. You are like the pat McAfee of chess world, and the drama is awesome. It's like watching wrestling in the late 90s early 2000.
What a classic video, my attention was so captured that I'm pretty sure this video could've been 2 hours and I would've watched the entire video and not realize how much time past.
dude i raised both hands and got so locked in cause i saw MAGNUS CARLSEN playing the same moves i do and i need to figure out and learn how to play the london better as it was my first opening i learn at like 400 and am now rated 700 thanks to having the london in my pocket SO IM LOCKED IN TO THIS VIDEO BRO AND KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK
Did anyone else notice that Magnus was already given a .2 advantage in the first game before it begun? It finally went even after like the first 4 moves
Dude you got me. I am going to check out your courses. Thanks again for all the free knowledge you bless us viewers especially in an entertaining way. Anyway need to get better . Went from 700 to almost 1200 just by watching Gothamchess on you tube only
as a respectful samaritain, I make sure to shout THE ROOK anytime i am attending my history class and my teacher says something along the lines of sacrificing.

Are you good at chess now too
So?
Did he do one of those dream sequences aka flashbacks on you?
Magnus playing mental 7D chess using your mind.

london indeed
Wow

Seeing Levy analyze Magnus games while wearing a tank top is going to feel so nostalgic years from now
Shit didn't think of that also no comments lemme change that

Just wanted to reply here lol.
Just wanted to comment... this is what the armachure boxing mentality is doing to people.
4:34 If Magnus knocks on a door at 2 am, he's probably just drunk and wants to play some bullet
Levi when I play H5: “what is he doing this that a terrible move”
Levi when Magnus plays H5: absolutely amazing, he’s a real genius
Because you blunder the queen in 4 moves not magnus
@@mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm-m8cnuh uh i blunder it in 6 moves

That third game was definitely my favorite, that bishop was a goddamn smooth criminal. Slides forward, slides back, refuses to elaborate, game over.

Very beautiful
that moment when magnus said "its magnusing time" and lifted london off the ground was truly one of the magnus moments of all time
bro what??😂
@@aldocort3418its a meme format
truly one of the moments of all time
@@Celatra That's a funny way to say _"a boring, unoriginal, overused cliche stemming from a complete lack of imagination and humour"_
that moment when Magnus said "it's magnusing time", and magnused all over the board
1) 1:15: Kingside Attack (v. 2736, Yu Yangyi)
2) 6:30: Queenside Attack (v. 2808, Fabiano Caruana), Queenside attack AFTER aggressive "Kingside Pawn Storm".
3) 10:36: Queenside Attack (v. 2748, Radoslaw Wojtaszek)
4) 16:29: Kingside Attack (v. 2749, Veselin Topalov)
5) 21:27: Kingside Attack (v. 2793, Salam-AR, #1 from UAE)
What a true chess man. Nobody can beat Magnus like he beats yo-
My bad yo
This might blow up.
@@MarbyTheJingo investing 🙏🙏🙏
I don’t get it
What does he beat?? Yo meat??
Yeah this blowing up
Magnus crushing gms with the London, Ding won the world championship with the london. It's official, the London system is the best opening in chess.
and its soo easy to learn...First opening I am learning and its just straight forward.
6:09 into the video I can conform that this is a GothamChess classic
I can confirm he never fails to make us unexist
I also conform
"6:09"
Fun fact: The elo 2834 of Magnus Carlsen in 2015 is the highest elo attained by Levy in Blitz till date.
Different rating system broski
He' talking about Magnus Classical Rating against Levy's Blitz Rating. It's ridiculous.
Dont u just love hearing Levy say,"THE ROOOK!!"
You do.
22:15 Black Knight ~> G4, White Knight ~> G4, Black Pawn ~> G4. Either white takes black pawn with queen, or white blunders the bishop. I’m gonna just assume Magnus would play queen to G4 to capture the black pawn…Pawn to F5 (since the knight is now not ruining my piece progression) makes the queen run for the hills etc…
As a proud D4 dynamite course owner, I find this very instructive
I mean this is just so wholesome. This is my favorite thing to watch.
real
Magnus sacrificing the rook before it was even a meme is truly a magnus movement of all time.
I’ve loved the endgame course, so far. It’s very instructional and also very easy to engage with. Good work and thank you, Levy!
not a paid ad btw
@@GothamChess I can smell that

Chessly is da BOMB
It looks like he carved out carefully exactly the position he was looking for at 16:20 it's insane
5:27 almost gave me a heart attack
the amount of Londons players is gonna skyrocket I can guarantee you
Yes Levy is a Master - Baiter!

did he really say that
Your presentation is awesome gotham. "The midle strategy at the highest level of the chess game is not to punch each other as hard as possible" is a nice mathematical proposition.
Thanks for these videos levy I really learn alot from them
Your energy today is crazy Levy, can get me even get hyped for the London, sick Video
Bro I got into chess because of and you taught me so much and also WON my junior chess competition in my school.Thanks a lot man you the best
Levy peacefully talking when in his back, his trashtalk exceeds borderline human limits.
5:20 best "THE ROOOOOK" ever
@2:23 i am raising my hand in honour , respected sir . The LONDON SYS >
Thank you so much Levy
This is the most energetic chess commentary I've ever seen
16:08 this is just absolutely insane and mindblowing. Magnus‘s iQ must be well over 200
It’s 190iq as far as I’ve heard
@@pi_man3 nothing is confirmed
Theres little to no correlation between IQ and chess skill if you research it.
Magnus: I alone, am the honored one.
When you said 4mil my jaw dropped. Been subbed since 200k, feels amazing seeing the growth 🫶🏼
5:23 AN ABSOLUTE CLASSIC 👏👏👏
Bro got a haircut
the isolated pawn on d5 is in depression from loneliness
And this is why Magnus Carlsen has the most aesthetic London system on earth.
I think magnus has been studying WW2 attacking plans more than chess
Hi levy im new to chess and missed out on what makes magnus so good. Would love a video with your commentary showcasing some of his best games that made him the world champion
Just start with "most viewed" and clear your schedule for the next month
he just sees something whe dont bro

5:24 GothamChess Classic "THE ROOOOOOK" scream comes in
I love when magnus just magnussed on over to magnus the heck out of anyone
14:22 i love when Gotham drops Yu-Gi-Oh quotes
His barber should be arrested
5:44 LATE STAGE CAPITALISM subtle pun got me, comerade
We need longer videos Levi. I won't mind hour long videos
5:38 “And the queen sees a whole lot of empty juicy squares to purchase the property and build a high rise, late stage capitalism!” Got me rolling LOL 😂
@GothamChess it's currently 1 year in the future and you have 5.71 million subs 2:02
Gotham chess could make a chess game fun to listen to on a radio.
10:02 Freakin H pawn...

Me watching Gotham chess at 2AM after work: 😮😮😮

15:00 Against radoslaw the end game was beautifully played by magnus to say atleast
If you’re here from the “Magnus beats Magnus” video
👇
I just bought the course. Tomorrow I am starting with it. This year from 1200 I become 1700 and won three trophies from a chess club and two from tournaments. I am excited for my road to 2200!
Acting, jokes, and this skill of interacting with viewers on another level )))) The Gotham is the best!)

Magnus with London is just crazy
"I'm here from the Gotham video: "Magnus Beats Magnus""
This is one of your best videos. You are like the pat McAfee of chess world, and the drama is awesome. It's like watching wrestling in the late 90s early 2000.
17:46 white position looks like a siege ballista ready to just batter a wall.
I'm here from the Magnus beats Magnus video. I watched this when it came out but I hope this makes you happy Levi
That game against radoslav with all the pieces on the back rank was absolutely psychotic chess.
What a classic video, my attention was so captured that I'm pretty sure this video could've been 2 hours and I would've watched the entire video and not realize how much time past.
magnus is pressuring from all 3 sides of the board......huh.....3......square.....HUH
20:50
dude i raised both hands and got so locked in cause i saw MAGNUS CARLSEN playing the same moves i do and i need to figure out and learn how to play the london better as it was my first opening i learn at like 400 and am now rated 700 thanks to having the london in my pocket SO IM LOCKED IN TO THIS VIDEO BRO AND KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK
The Levy's recipe for maximum adsense:
Magnus and London in the same video 👍
I've played the London ever since I started playing chess it's my first opening and now I'm dominating all thanks to Levy ❤
you know it's serious when levy busts out the tanktop
The London and the Caro are so powerful ! My favorite openings 😍😍
I like ponziaani and nichov larsen attack
But i use London alot
Unintended pun at 12:30, “O-O, O-O-O, and now you might be saying ooohhhhhhh”
I'm here from the video magnus defeats magnus 🤓
The “late stage capitalism” and ADU line got me 😂
Did anyone else notice that Magnus was already given a .2 advantage in the first game before it begun? It finally went even after like the first 4 moves
That's cuz playing white and getting to make the first move is a very slight advantage
@@minyth349 but usally it’s like .1
Depends of openings, like if you get mated in two moves it’s not gonna be equal
2:03 congratulations for 5.13M 🎉
can’t justify spending the $ on courses rn but i really appreciate the free chessly content, it’s very helpful stuff
5:24 we all waiting for
I would love if levi did a playlist about every opening magnus played 😮
like levi ackerman
6 months later and you’re sitting at 4.5 million 👏
@21:02 I like how levy just straight up pulls a botez gambit in his analysis here lol
Dude you got me. I am going to check out your courses. Thanks again for all the free knowledge you bless us viewers especially in an entertaining way. Anyway need to get better . Went from 700 to almost 1200 just by watching Gothamchess on you tube only
17:25 "the disadvantage is growing"
*advantage shrinks*
here from "Magnus beats Magnus"
Why did I expect levy to smoothly drop an ad for a fancy dress shop 10:12
I'm here from Gotham video magnus beat magnus
When Levy establishes a chess club it will become a place of worship to Magnus.
Levy,.... you're dope! Thanks for more awesome content. Later skater.
5:24 the roooooookkkkkk!
I liked the part where Magnus said London and Englaned all over everybody
5:24 Favourite part
Hi
Bye
as a respectful samaritain, I make sure to shout THE ROOK anytime i am attending my history class and my teacher says something along the lines of sacrificing.
Levy: “Nothing good happens at 2 AM”
Me: 👁👄👁
The london is the hero that all chess players alike didn't want but got anyway.
10:06 missed a perfect opportunity for a NordVPN ad
the endgames masterclass is really good, and i cant believe how much free material there is
“The bishop on f1 lived, a fascinating life” 🤣
