      Besides, he is the most popular non-GM in the chess world. I think the algorithm barely even matters for him anymore. As long as he keeps frequently uploading, he will find his way into many recommended pages.

They tried to prevent e4 and failed then after e4 got played and the bishops opened up he offered a draw seemed almost offensive. Like bishop pair, open position, displaced dark square bishop, black still had a lot to prove from a gm perspective. The only recourse is maybe they didn’t expect all the pawn gambits and interpreted the position as equal, but it’s pretty clear the position favors white.

    Super happy for you, and as always I appreciate the big small remarks on how this game works nowadays. I mean the clear small statements on how engine evaluation is not equal to good position, the encouragement to not rush the position, the overall expectations management. I must say that since I've rediscovered chess in late 2022 there are many lessons to be found that work also *outside* chess world! I mean mostly expectations management, disconnect of grading from self worth, self development planning. Thanks for your entertainement, the small chess lessons perfectly laced into entertainment that reignited my interest in this game, and for indirectly helping discover the world of sports psychology that literally helped me also in personal life goals as well as in business.

    Levy, this is by far your best chess ever. Kudos to your coach, it is NOT easy getting through to advanced talent in any field. Kudos to you for seeking improvement through a coach. Your recaps are better than ever. If I may be so bold, I would suggest studying Civil War battle plans, Napolean battle plans, and for speed, Gen Patton battle plans. Chess is simulated, simplified war, without ANY loss, so when one puts himself in the place of those battles, one understands pressure. Good job Levy.

    6.5/9 is a Herculean task. But the toughest part is behind you. From everything I've heard you are 2.5/3 against the top of the tournament and 1.5 of them with black. I know it's unfair pressure at this stage but not losing a single game seems possible, drawing the rest of the games would put you at 5.5/9, so 2 wins and the rest draws seems possible. So glad to see your training paying off and look forward to the rest of the tournament

    Utilizing an unofficial zugzwang of a tense losing position and making moves that allow someone to punch themselves in the face when you can't see a clear knockout is something the engine will almost always hate but I think is an excellent strategy to have at your disposal, well played
