I could not have defeated Magnus without studying the Middlegames Masterclass course on Chessly. All Chessly courses are currently 50% off. Go try them now: chessly.com/courses
@@samdarsh674 ye levy was just kidding, he didn't actually beat magnus. At the end when he showed the "similar" game it was actually showing the game he was talking about the whole time but it wasn't their game
Clearly you guys have not watched the Video where Magnus basically does the equivilant of a kings speech before battle lol Video is titled "imagine training your whole life to become a GM then you face Magnus with the weirdest opening" by chess games on youtube Its a wild wild wild opening by Magnus with 6 king moves or something hahaha
@@vladgaming3509 doesn't matter what your peanut brain thinks.. he is clearly indicating it was an April fools.. just watch the video from 16:00 and even then if you don't think it's April fools idk what to tell you
I watched this for the first time 3 weeks after it was posted and I felt so proud of levy until I started reading the comments then checked when it was posted. You need an Oscar cause you really had me there
I didn't realize it was an April Fools prank. Now after watching the entire video, I still don't understand how this is a prank. (Genuinely, Someone plz explain)
Bruh, I was happy for him... I literally saw the video, went to the pooper seat, took a nap, took a bath, ate and then out of all the sudden I'm thinking... why did he show that game with Dina?.. And why was it the same? The odds of that are astronomically low....... and another account? why?....🤔🤔🤔 and then it hit me. I'm a dummy. Fell hard for it.
God damn i went to the comments an hour after watching to say congratulations because I watched it on TV. And god damn that is good fools. Got fooled so bad. Now the last minute made sense
@@jarateman6427 Yes, I like the concept of trolling people while recapping the impressive (and instructive) game of a WGM 2300 against a strong theoretician 2600+ and former second of Anand. It's more creative than everything else I've seen today. And it's for sure more creative than haters still watching Levy's content or leaving comments everywhere while they hate everything about him and his content
Hey, I am new to the chess community. I've casually played my whole life but my 10 year old son started to play and has learned so much from you! We love your content! Thank you!
@@paultapping9510 still more original than the millionth iteration of one of the following >muh stare 100/10 >speaks for itself >truly the ___ of all time >sacrificed THE JOOOOKKKEE
Not until the comments did I realize this was an April fools video. I haven’t been fooled in years dude, you played that out SO well. Entertaining game
The analysis he makes of the game is really funny :D when the WGM sacrificed her bishop with a brilliant move and Levy said he just blundered it, it made me laugh :D it is funny how he made it all work, explaining a GM game like a 800 elo player :P that's the strengh of Levy's humour and channel :)
I didn’t understand I was fooled even after watching the ending. Literally thought it was a one in a billion chance. I was so proud of Levy for 15 minutes and then immediately depressed at myself for falling for this 😂
I was fooled for 8 days, watched it in the first 5 minutes of it being uploaded and when I went to show my friends the video I noticed all the comments 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@rudy_4ier right?? I could totally imagine a drunk Magnus on stream with his goons behind him making those moves, but a GM in a serious otb tournament?? nah
@@ctogive i watched Hikaru's coverage of the match and even he couldn't justify those moves lol. he just said "I think this GM has decided to join memeing culture"
Damn I was really happy for you, straight up smiled through the whole video. But then I look at the comments and realise its april 1st and you showing the exact same position between two GMs at the end was the last straw to break my heart.
Remember that chess has so many different possible moves that no two games will ever be the same if they last this long. Never. The likelyhood is so low that it will literally never happen.
@@danielsieker9927 many games end the same sinve most moves are theory and moves that have been played before, so its not rlly as rare as it would have been id every game was played completely random, still extremy rare to have an indentical end
April 1st is a very special day for levy. Last year he became a grandmaster on this day and now he beats the world champion. Hopefully next year he becomes world champion 🏆🏆
I had literally just finished watching Dina's recap of her win the video before this one! I was getting annoyed because I was waiting for Levy to say "April Fools!" Dina played so well! Congrats to her on her win!
But the real question is why black, in the real game, actually moved his king 4 times in the middle of the game? After I saw that I was almost sure Levi used one of his GTO games for this one.
I watched her game live yesterday (mostly second half), so I was pretty excited watching Levy's video until approximately at half I recognized I've seen this game already.
I admit that I fell for it, but I was very surprised about his Be7 opening mistake. I was way less surprised about the king walk. That part could totally happen. 😂
That reveal of a classical game reaching the exact same position is truly mind-blowing. (Edit: Ah ok, April Fool's... And just to clarify, I did think it was a wild coincidence that the same position was reached. Not that the exact same moves had been played up until then.)
@@bbrycee. yeah, I’m a little late; but I’ve been subscribed for a while. Actually surprised I missed this one. He frequently talked about quitting prior to this.
I just wanna talk about <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="835">13:55</a> where the engine says M13, "Levy" plays Kh1 which gets a ?! from the evaluation, but then after a moment it realises that now it's actually M10. That was the real brilliant move all along.
Today's stare, an absolute masterpiece. There should be an art gallery just full of Levi's best stares, I mean they encapsulate life itself, and I would be incomplete without it.
Yeah well its because Levy's passion for acting is palpable. Its clear that he puts his heart and soul into each performance, and his dedication to his craft is truly inspiring Gotham has an incredible range, able to seamlessly transition between intense dramatic scenes and lighthearted comedic moments
I made a poem about this legend. In Gotham City, where the winds blow cold, Where night descends with stories untold, There's a chess player, born to be bold, A master of strategy, brave and bold. His name is Levy Rozman, known far and wide, As a chess warrior, with an unbeatable side, With every move, he takes his pride, And his opponents quake, before he decides. He builds his armies, with careful precision, And every piece is given a special mission, His knights, his bishops, his pawns, his queen, All work in unison, like a well-oiled machine. In Gotham, he reigns supreme, A chess champion, like never seen, His skills, his wit, his genius in play, Is what makes him shine, day by day. So if you're ever in Gotham, do not fear, For Levy Rozman is always near, And with his chessboard, he'll lead the way, To victories, and glory, without delay.
Wow I can't believe levy beat magnus, and also the fact that this exact same position was played in another classical game is a miracle. Levy is truly one of the chess of all time
It's absolutely amazing to see that two games on the exact same day were played with the exact same 31 moves!!!!!!!!!!! that's even rarer than a 1 in 12 chance!!!!!
This taught me so much as it's the first complete game I watched of Levys. 1. If Magnus isn't receiving brilliant move credits then I shouldn't be expecting to receive them. 2. This also tells me that while we are attempting to value sacrificing/keeping a piece it probably should have less weight behind this overall. After reviewing a handful of matches of Magnus's, It's impressive how fast and loose he can play his pieces and come out on top, while somebody with an opposing strategy can possibly do the same for very different reasons and have similar results. Not necessarily referring to Levy completely on this one, but he tends to utilize this concept often in various ways. 3. If 2322 can win against 2853, It shows there's always opportunity in a game. 3. Last but certainly not least, Humans are a product of the culture around them and this results in its own level of flaws like preference over other factors. You look at Carlsen's Sicilian Defense choice. It's his most common defense and it's also been used in around 20% of all games since 1960. while it's one of the oldest registered defenses, you can look at the Nimzo-Indian Defense created in the 1920s as an alternative to the Sicilian to prioritize pawn placement over Bishops. While the percentages are lower back then, relative to the others being played, it was quite high for that time. It tells us quite a bit about how people like Fischer and Kasparov impacted Magnus, as he could have used Alekhines preferred Indian Game: Knights Variation or Lasker's most commonly used Ruy Lopez Opening: Berlin Defense, but he didn't. I'm sure there's plenty of justifications for the Sicilian as it's never a bad move, but it's the influence behind why the line of thought and preference I find more interesting here.
Levy is progressing rapidly in the field of chess. Last year on the same day, he obtained his GM title and today he achieved the rare feat of defeating the world champion himself.
I don't know where I would be more amazed. Levy defeating Magnus or the fact that their position was the exact same position of two players playing a game miles away from them. Applause to Levy and for this 🔥video
I'd be more amazed at the second one, that's near impossible, the chance of that happening is smaller than the smallest number above zero you can imagine.
Loool and it felt oddly similar. Since the moment the pawn interfered I was thinking about it 😂 I even thought it was actually a common idea. Dat trickery.
