    Alireza vs Gukesh shows that when you eliminate the huge amounts of prep and it boils down to sheer tactics and positional understanding and quickness of mind, Alireza is still a class apart. Fischer bemoaned that Chess is just memorization and we see that more and more every day, with players looking up at the sky for 30 minutes, not calculating but actually recalling what they've learned. The space for creativity is dwindling in Chess, but Alireza is one last ditch effort at reclaiming it.

    • @thebiglebrowski3695
      @thebiglebrowski3695 Місяць тому +8

      Firouzja shows that when you are too lazy to prepare properly, you will not do well. Let's not pretend that his win was anything other than a lucky win against a player who imploded. He was dead to rights for most of the game. Even with that win, he is still aecond from the bottom and easily the moat underperforming player in the tournament.

      @@thebiglebrowski3695 I'm not basing it on one match, I'm basing my comment on what I've seen from Firouzja over the years. The same reason Magnus said he wouldn't compete in the World Championship unless it was against Firouzja. The same reason that when they met in Chess 360 and prep was off the board, Alireza was leading Magnus before losing the overall tie. Also calling that an implosion from Gukesh is funny. He didn't implode. He played like a Super GM who is human. Meaning he did not play perfect computer moves and therefore gave an advantage to Alireza which he seized. Gukesh didn't commit any big blunder in the endgame. Just because you can see the perfect engine moves online doesn't mean you rate the players on whether they play that engine move or not. Nor does it mean they imploded if they don't have 99.99 percent accuracy. Gukesh played a very good game, but was overwhelmed in the endgame under time pressure by one of the best blitz players in the world.

    Great job Levy, the suspense and beginner/intermediate analysis is so awesome. It’s obvious that you favor certain players for your viewer base, I can’t blame you for that. But, how you cover these games makes me believe if the viewer interest was aligned elsewhere, you’d still feed it excellently. Not only a great player, but a great commentator.
    I’ve been trying out chess since December, really trying to learn, and you, Levy, with your qwerkyness, knowledge, humor, and clarity do the game justice for us learning to love it.
    I do see how certain GMs are potentially envious of your financial success or popularity, and how they can potentially find you disingenuous. However, I fundamentally disagree, and you should be respected for bringing more value to the game of chess through your personality and knowledge. I appreciate you, and the game. Love it!!!

    Super game summaries, especially the last one. And Alireza is a fucking champ for not taking that draw and somehow converting the game. This Candidate's has been madness with all players taking crazy risks and playing crazy openings/lines.
