@@FahimHoqI thought most people sees Hans like in the video? Or maybe because I know how to "read" people (personality)... Like, I've never really seen Hans talk like this before but I know he's this type of guy... Lol
@@BillboMC He very clearly said 'lack of inexperience' which was a mistake but everyone knows what he meant. I'm curious what you think he said if it wasn't 'lack of inexperience'.
Nice to see Han being thoughtful and sincere. People like me who strongly supported him after Magnus's irresponsible accusation and poor behavior towards him really want to see his likeable side.
@@Chiungalla79 It's an online Blitz game. You're being a fanboy. You think anyone can say they were better than Magnus because they beat him in an online Blitz game? Even on that day? It's not an over the board game and did nothing for Levys rating. We saw Levy achieve nothing at his first GM norm since retirement, games that actually matter.
Of all the suggestions you made, the idea of spending less time producing content is the one that rings a bell. I was thinking the same for Hikaru. I also thought the same for Anna. There are players who aren't making regular content that are improving their game. The cost to be the boss.
Anna Cramling is 1900 elo, she earns on youtube probably much more then she could ever do in Chess, both of her parrents are grandmasters, yet at 20 she only is a 1900... she is where she belongs in her carreer,
Does not explain Hikaru, who has arguably played his strongest chess in years these last two years. Hikaru is different... I think his streaming was exactly what he needed.
Good advice. I really admire your play in the recent tournaments you have participated in especially the Grenke tournament. Also congrats to getting back into the 2700 club.
While Levy is certainly inexperienced, Hans quickly learned not to underestimate International Masters, especially those with GM Potential, or to be generally acting like the superior person from start Yes its a tall mountain Levy needs to climb to get the GM status, but he is making steady progress
I expected this generosity because I watch Hans and Levy. I love how Levy tries to be neutral. I never met a GM who wasn't a bit crazy and Levy is going to be bigger to chess in the US than Bobby Fischer (he probably is already)
@@wchambers3849 Levy has thousands of times over the audience that Bobby Fischer had to the chess public. How do you define "bigger" if not by influence? During the cold war, broadly more Americans knew who Bobby Fischer was - but most of them didn't play chess - and whether or not Levy ever gets that kind of broad attention nationwide is debatable and admittedly a tall order. However, people under 35 have a better chance to have heard of gothamchess than Bobby Fisher and that will only grow over time. My guess is that people have already watched or replayed more Levy chess games than Bobby Fischer chess games. He has more views in one video than then the total sales of all chess books with Fischer's games in them.
For whatever reasons, a person develops an idea about how one must play to win. Aside from having skills, the way one plays can determine our ceiling. Ideas tend to be limiting by their nature. They aren't as open ended as nature. Levy's nervousness may have led him to search for faster wins and complications as "the path", but that doesn't work at a very high level. So, he has to change.
Well it was only yesterday when I saw him trolling Levy even though he didnt really say "Hans cheated" in some YT troll video from this channel. When did development arc take place? 😂
Levy did heavily imply a few times that Hans cheated, although he seems to have since walked it back and started to positively react to some of Hans's games. I'm glad Hans dropped the Levy beef tho because he needs more friends and less enemies in the chess world
Is anyone tired of Hans playing The Victim card in most every video? I’ll admit I haven’t watched a lot of his videos, but they all seem to be so negative and are not fun to watch. And something else I noticed is that I don’t think I’ve ever seen Hans smile one time in one of his videos! Have any of you? Always a dour look on his face. I’m a subscriber and really want to like him, but he just doesn’t come across as a nice person.
IM’s win against GMs sometimes look at Faustino he beat multi GMs on some Blitz games I happen to catch yes Levy beat Hans but Hans is a GM Levy a wannabe who do you think would win in best of five
@@chrisatkeson4638I'm not sure what you're getting at. I'm just saying I'm glad levy beat Neiman, while implying that Neiman is a cheater. Not that Neiman can't play. I'm sure he's real good at chess however I think he's a cheater.
He speaks about "lack of experience". When I saw him commentating one of his matches against Carslen (one of the most ambiguous and discossed ones) and he was not able to review his moves, then I thought Hans has lack of experience with the moves he (or who knows who) does too...
Very similar to what his GM coach is telling him. Be more patient, narrow down the opening choices...also don't overcomplicate things. That's just the aspect of the game, but his nerves and lack of confidence are the real problem. Let's face it he is not a natural born GM, as Faustino is for example, so he needs to compensate the zero talent he has for chess with a lot of work.
lol what? #1 Hans is a very talented player. #2 every chess player has good and bad days just like normal people, they don’t always play perfectly #3 levy beating Hans IN A LOW TIME format means chess is a joke? lol what? Your logic is weird
