@@jaydenmcloughlin7378 Personally I don't see that happening any time in the foreseeable future.

That's just how I see it though.
@@jaydenmcloughlin7378 Are you crazy? Improving is not everything in chess, he already said he is not going for the GM title so that is not a concern. At his current level he can continue to create chess content and grow his brand indefinitely.
For most of us, I don't think spending 5 hours per day for 2 years is worth it to become good at chess. Just think if we spent a fraction of that time in the gym or something.
I always get sibling energy when you two play or just interact with each other. We definitely need more content of you together. In my opinion the two most likeable chess content creators out there :)
Interested how no one talked about levy and how his language towards himself is so self deprecating. I like him, he’d be up with Hikaru if he had more confidence and gave positive self affirmation
And now, 10 months later, he played a week-long competition with Pia and I think learned some useful things from her about how to have some more confidence and positive self-affirmation. It cycles around.
I so much want Anna to win more and get her rating up but in the other hand I want her to just go back to the park and play for fun. She blows the dust off a game that bogged down in politics and seriously miserable players. Her enthusiasm and joy must be bringing more people to the game. Even if she never gets grand master she is a super enthusiastic chess educator and that can't be bad. But I want her to be a master chess player and super educator!
Hikaru says Levy has potential but he has to change his mindset and take more risks when player against higher level opponents to improve and have a chance to further grow to have any chance to reach GM level. Unfortunately, Levy lacks confidence in himself.
@@susbedo9258 Levy said when he plays against GMs and they play a move he doesn’t expect (or he thought was bad), he starts second guessing. “Well a GM played it, it must be a good move, what am I missing?” I think that mindset is really what trips him up. He starts to second guess what he technically knows is the right response instead of just looking for the best response.
They should these things clockless and just make moves naturally. So not taking ages to plan everything out, but that would make more entertaining battles in these skirmishes. I get that a clock is important in matches but when playing your friends or family just dont clock
"Anna plays her best chess when she is talking!" Just a thought...aaaand I love your channel Anna because you do not only teach chess very well, you also like people. Some chessplayers don't.

It may be much harder to play good chess while talking, but I love these social games when two people who love chess talk it out while playing.
