Hikaru was like a big brother. He's like, "do what you want;" but when it came time to win he was like, "nah nah nah, we gotta win, do this"

@liljackypaper 4 месяца назад

Reminds me of a DuckTales episode where he says "put your hat wherever you want" then proceeds to say "but not there" to everywhere he tries to put it 😂

right i just remember a bunch of yeah do what you want almost everything is fine here, openings just whatever... do nothing just don't blunder this position its fine just shuffle around a bunch and make them think they have to push. yayaya its fine stockfish says its ok

@TheLyingLeft 4 месяца назад

Levy got a full lesson for free from Hikaru. Rather than discussing moves and getting straight to the point for any of these games, Hikaru instead gave him insights and discussions behind the ideas and moves. They both did it like this as if they had all the time in the world. 🤣Pretty crazy if you've seen the other games and see how other pairs worked together. Everyone else pretty much did it the same way, but Hikaru did it like a coach and Levy was his student.

@ced3069 4 месяца назад

It's also crazy how Levy found the MVP moves too, as danya stated if I am not mistaken.

@TheLyingLeft 4 месяца назад

@@ced3069No. Levy sure did. Levy was very hesitant and didn't really believe in himself. Hikaru assured him and gave him the freedom to make moves. Levy found them. Like I've commented in the other videos, Hikaru was like a hands on coach who shadowed over Levy.

@jacopobottoni8597 4 месяца назад

@@TheLyingLeftif you look at the recaps of his own tournament is the past you clearly see how Levy’s biggest problem is confidence. I feel like Hikaru being such an insurance in the fact that he would point out obviously wrong moves gave Levy exactly what he’s been missing. Awesome to watch!

@madting2984 4 месяца назад

When I was looking at the game live, it felt as if Levy didn’t contribute that much. Looking back at it, his insight actually helped Hikaru not to overlook certain moves in certain calculations.

@carnivalism1042 4 месяца назад

It's probably because the first parts are theory, and that Hikaru's better than it compared to Levy. But middle game is where Levy cam contribute the best I think.

@JulienRoigHerr 3 месяца назад

Yes, the idea is just brilliant. Chess commentary is so boring (as is most sports commentary honestly) because most of the time there isn't much to say and the presenters are trying to fill dead air. Having Danya come in periodically to analyse the games is all the commentary we need, and hearing the players the rest of the time adds so much to the games.

This is beyond fascinating because you get to hear the thought process of both sides and since there two people on each time you het tk hear more in-depth explanations and communication than if it was just one person on their YT channel explaining it to a camera which both of them have. So this is very special and an underused learning tool. More of these!
