      It’s unrealistic to expect hikaru to win every single event twice a week. If it was hikaru magnus in finals then i would say youre right, but hikaru didnt even finish the event. Magnus won the even hikaru normally wins when hikaru leaves the event.

Levy is an IM probably better than 99% of chess players in the world, but when he reviews Magnus’ games you can tell he’s in awe because Magnus really is that good. Magnus is just on a level by himself, and I like the fact that Levy acknowledges that and doesn’t pretend to know and understand everything Magnus does.

He was extremely methodical. On the ground, he would force fighters into worse and worse positions with no escape, just a choice of stay here and quit, or move to the next position and continue until they would finally submit. It wasn't flashy, and everyone knew it was coming, but no one could stop it.

Principally speaking if you are depressed lets say...humm...because politics, food, bad financial situation, anything really...so lets pretend its love youre depressed about for a second - either you need to stop caring or you need to be in love with Levy. In any other case, if its any other person in the world, Levy will have no impact on your depression whatsovever. Maybe distract you a little bit, let you forget about it for two hours. Maybe. But then youll end up depressed again. So whats this nonsense about coping with depression and helped me overcome my insecurities thats appearing on every single youtube video of anyone big and important? Can anyone explain pls?

      There’s no Brazilian names, but you know that. What’s the origin of Fier? Do you know? In Portuguese, it would actually sound “fee-ER”. I can’t figure it out from where “FEE-er” could have come.

Magnus is amazing, but you are too in a very different way, I like your essence and charisma, you are a very genuine person. You are the kind of guy that I would like to have as a friend, but i dont feel the same for Magnus or Hikaru (I dislike Hikaru btw) you have made my days Levy, thanks for being there.

  • @elliotbaker5416

    Genuinely can not fathom that while in a position of equal material, with good and solid pawn structure and an active queen, this man decides to trade off his own active queen for blacks passive one, doubling his pawns in the process, calculating that his active rooks are enough to win the queenside pawns and more, all in a blitz game??? He’s on another level to everyone else. A move that breaks a ton of principles with such fast calculation that it’s better for him, and it’s the top engine move.
