    The eval bar staying up after every sacrifice is just the cherry on top. There was no refutation. There was no escape. There was only a few ways Giri could have lost a little less spectacularly, and I am so glad he didnt find those moves. Simply incredible.

    • @MatsMatsuo

      I have to disagree, when he made the knight move the position was winning in many different ways, he's up a pawn, and black's position is awful with poor piece coordination + king is not safe, so the knight move was good but not a crazy move to find and I think any strong player would play this in that position or win with other moves. How he gets to this position is what is incredible.
      He played a lot of more impressive creative moves and "only" moves before that maybe only 2 or 3 players on this world would play.
      The retreating move is nice but is not like "wow, he's so good for playing this move", nah, is just one of the most obvious winning moves there

    What I love about Levi is many things, especially and most of all that he is a passion artist, that he takes disparates parts, topics, visions and wields them into body and work. Inside this man is a great artist with a serious and compassionate message. I love his sarcasm and goofy bits, the guess the elo and the deadpan look into the camera, the side chuckles, but I am looking forward to his more important work, whether it is painting or music or film making or novel form. Dude is a platinum rolex with jewel movements.
