I’m gonna cry. 

I love how Levy explains why he's wearing a tank top every time he wears a tank top Edit: this was a joke. Anyone criticizing levy's appearance in the replies is an asshole.

At this point, I don't know how levy will title the video where he actually becomes a good morning

Levy never fails to get closer to grandmother title

2 things. 1. Your respect is admirable! 2. I just started learning at 56. I'm awful, consistently in the 370-402 range. I love the game and figure it's kind of like guitar, there's no substitute for time playing.

I bet you anything that Levy won't cry in the video.

Hikaru's title is "DON'T CRY LEVY!!!!"

Amazing game. Love how you didn't give up in the face of a worthy opponent. Also hats off to Arturs Neiksans who rootet for you for almost five hours straight.

You know it’s a good day when Levy Oils Up

I'm italian and now I roughly know where you are

I was the guy with the blue t-shirt waiting till the end, trust me Levy you will make it, you’ll become a GM and I’ll continue support you during this journey❤️

Can we just take a moment that it's been a while since Levy lost in a tournament game.

I saw Levy dropkick a kitten once.

Can't wait til Levy becomes a Grandmother😭🙏

I literally stoped playing chess for almost a year now but i keep watching your recaps Levi, your recaps are not only about chess, they entertain. For some reason we just want to keep watch your recaps. You'll officially become the coolest Grandmaster in a year and a half. Thank you for helping me procastinaten watching unus*ful videos 😭. 🙏

It will take years to get to 2500. Wish you a lot of strength and consistency.

Gotham never fails to have the most basic and unoriginal comment section

if Levy’s next video after this one has the word “GM” in it, I will eat a car

He's racing Hikaru, and as a content addict, I'm all here for it. 😂

amazing to see a player from Ecuador

Opens youtube..."GM!!" Throws phone

The commentary from your coach was great! Content collaboration with Arturs would be great

don't cry levy

I'm a 1000 elo that doesn't know anything about the game of chess. I haven't even watched your games, I joined the stream just before round 3 ended. I wish i could say something motivational or give you an advice but I can not lol. Good luck becoming a grandmother. Btw you said your comments section is pretty good in the last video i believe. I doubt that lol

So Levy played the bong cloud against his opponent in a tournament and he didn't lose. Quite impressive.

ITALIA MENZIONATA 🇮🇹🗣️

Levy ti amo, sei una persona bravissima e mi fai morire ogni volta dal ridere con i tuoi guess the elo e spero tu traduca tutto ciò perché ora sai che anche gli italiani ti sostengono❤️

Nah,but Levy's drip in the tournament was crazy

Anahi's strategy seems be just being uber solid to lure ambitious players looking for a norm into her trap.

Thats why they call him Levy "Chess" Rozman

Yasss! A Manhattan QGD. This is my favorite opening.

Levy is my favorite grandmother

Actually I know Triest because I am from Europe lol and if you didn’t know, it is like THE coffee capital so I definitely recommend trying some espressi to keep awake during those long games :)

0:53 in my country, 30°C is the temperature of our air conditioners. Just like a week ago, it was 52°C here

You know, you didn't win, but you know what else? You didn't lose either - the road is tough, but I believe.

its insane how Levy constantly makes a game that never has any updates or anything like that interesting every single time. I just binge watch everything.

Levy is one of my favorite chess players ever and deserves to reach the grandmaster title because he manages to beat all the amoeba brained players every time

Seems like levy will become grandmother before grandmaster

Despite the title, a draw with black after the opening not quite going fully your way is nothing to cry over. Particularly since you pulled a new rabbit out of your hat I would think. Anyway, really enjoying your recaps and insights. Onwards and upwards.

By the way levy, i dont want to tell you what to do and what not to do, but in my opinion it would be a very good thing if you would make sure that your RU-vid and twitch livechats are moderated during the games. 1.) It happened multiple times that your opponents got insulted, especially your opponent from the second round WIM Anahi Ortiz V., especially with mysogynist comments. And your opponent from your third round got insulted, too, but of course the mysogynists comments were happening the most. 2.) in your chats some people are tyring to be funny and write inappropriate stuff or spam to throw your Coach off and get him into a weird Situation. I think alone for the fact that your Coach takes the time to comment the Matches i think a good moderated chat is even more Import as if you were streaming, because you already have much experience with such brainrot. In my opinion Coach shouldnt get into a Situation where he has to deal with this stuff (and i would love go use another word than stuff buuut then the comments gets inappropriate) Well that's everything i have to say. Looking forward to the other games, your coach does a brilliant job. GG Levy, GG to all 3 opponents and Good Luck for your other 6 games. Gotham for Grandmother🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Levy never fails in not being a GM

1 title where this guy doesnt clickbait would be crazy he has done the same type of low effort clickbaity content for so long that he cant even get a million views on any videos in the past 3 months

Don’t beat yourself up too much! Keep it up and thanks :)

As an Italian I can confirm that out gims aren't gims but bar

Sorry man. Your Coach said this game would be your hardest. Pick yourself up and put it behind you. You got lots of good chances left in the future.

shouldve named it "i played the bong cloud over the board"

Hi levy, I came to say hi to you today, I wanted to bring you some food but I didn't make it in time. Keep it up!

17 seconds and no views? levy has fallen off

levy: "30 degrees celsius here and i'm sweating a lot", me chillin in 47 degrees: "huh"

Your coach seems to learn a lot faster the secrets of streaming than you learn from him the secrets of chess.

Impressive how you can tape it in one go, Levy. Honestly impressive. You should see if your agent can get you into a reality show... we'd watch it.

Levy is Back to milking his GM videos than actually preparing for GM title

Hi from Ecuador! I'm starting to play chess and I'm really learning lots from your videos!

I can’t believe Levy became a Gay Man

Good to learn things Levy! She seems like a strong oponent!

levy never fails to show off his non existent muscles

Being down on the clock so much, early I would take that draw in a heartbeat. It sucks knowing after the fact there was a winning move after clawing back, but the clock being so short and one mistake can lead to a loss, I wouldn't be too hard on myself thinking it would have led to a draw.

Levy is always on vacation 😂

I think it's very insightful that you tell us your thought process when evaluating positions. It is enlightening!

GM? Garbage Master? 😂

Good luck on your quest to reach GM. Although itll be a very tough chllenge i think you can do it Levy! Please dont let anyone tell you its not possible not even Hikaru ok. Either way i will support you my brotha.

SPOILER BLOCKER

Very interesting insight, I'm sure this happens all the time in professional chess but the way you all go trying to win the meta game of preparing for your opponents, playing into or against your opponent's style, it's really something.

Levy never fails to clickbait

Nothing is trivial if you learn something from it. I had trouble starting IVs after I graduated but a coworker told me to insert at a shallower angle and that meant a world of difference. Trivial modification, 5° shallower. Now, years later, I have to tap the brakes and tell the patient that I'm gonna start an IV or draw blood because it became 2nd nature.

New drinking game take a shot every time he says “from a distance” all love man keep it up

Levy. 1 step back, 2 forwards. I really believe u will get there. You’re under rated too

Stop overthinking and 2nd guessing, trust your gut you got this!

The fact that Levy used degree celsius blew my mind...

You're faster than Hikaru.

Russians teach precisely 2 things Levi describes: They prefer 1 d4 2 c4 3 Nc3 4 Nf3 to 4 Bg5, and they teach young players to be "uber solid" to avoid losses and get to a high level before trying to play offensively [ see Kamsky for example ]. Their team may be getting some Russian coaching. "Why couldn't I capitalize on my advantage?" What was the advantage? Tal v Botwinnik; Risk-taking attacking v Uber-Solid; Who does their thing better is key. She wasn't frustrated, but Levi was. She succeeded in blunting him. Maybe over the course of a match, Levi like this would win, but it would be very tough. Levi's endgame skills seemed to leave him because he began to distrust his intuition (a great strength of his). He needs to take this post-mortem, trust his intuition more, and just play his normal game. A good night's sleep will also help.

The ukranian GM (Viktor Moskalenko) who was mentoring me long ago told me once that mastering rook endings would give all players lots and lots of points. Today it was a great example in both games, I think! Keep pushing, Levy.

Levy, good luck for the rest of the tournament

fide should give this man an honourary GM norm

As italian i know where Udine and Trieste are ahhaha. Btw, nice pronunciation! Very clean!

Queens pawn openings are sickening. I fully support the idea of adding the Dutch defense back into your repertoire. Let’s get some fun lines in these recaps

I believe it's the opening, you just had to play the Karo, pretty sure your opponent is prepared but it won't out-prepare you.

Udine and Trieste, absolutely no problem :)

Tell us about the Amina Abakarova incident (not in Spilimbergo, btw) - that is really something to cry about (for the poor victim) and it's a totally crazy thing!

Levy never fails to post

Overthinking

Very good explanation. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Just a heads up, if you don't make a rook sacrifice in the game that makes you a GM amd yell "he sacrifices THE ROOOOOOK!!!" then I'm gonna be disappointed, just FYI, no pressure

Levi, get a tan

I came here for Hans Neimann, stayed for the bruh.

im pretty sure that im the only one watching this while playing cookie clicker on my over moniter

bongcloud speedrun to gm

This might be one of the most informative and entertaining videos that I've seen on your channel! Loving the new road to gm series, best wishes and keep it up!

I didnt know we had international masters in my home country (Ecuador) lol. Nice game!!! Go on Levy!

11:21 she doesn't play Ne5, she picks up your Queen with a discovered check.

When I become a chess master, it would be fun for Levy to become a grandmaster. xdd I'm really not that far away Pd sorry idk how write that :( I dont speak English

hikaru titled his recap "don't cry levy" , gotham says " I'm gonna cry"

Great to watch Levy on his road to Gold Medal for the 2028 Olympics 🥇

I watched the stream keep it up levy!!

Love the vest look, you should rock it more often

this games pays in the long run. keep going man, u ll be a grandmother!

This was sad. I apreciate the honesty. Especially when losing the tread in the middle game. Would be nice to have Hikaru talk this through.

Still a long way to go in the tournment. Lets gooo Levy

Levy drew a Wyoming Intelligence Merc confirmed.

You take the pony and win the juicer!!!
