So grateful to have met you on this adventure, Levy! This project evolved into something I couldn't have imagined. What an amazing year!!

Please don’t hate it :)

You were flexing so hard at the start of the video with the blindfold XD

Gotham sub abandoned his game to give Michelle that 1000 ELO, best community in the world KEKW

Respectfully WTF

i mean his statement is true in general + he's a good ass player

Hikaru is literally the second best player behind magnus, and on top of that, he’s the highest rated blitz player with a rating exceeding stock fish on 3400. That rule doesn’t apply to him.

@@ItzMeZyferSecond best player, no Fabi is the second best player

​@@MozartAmadeus-fm5ddNot at blitz

@@MozartAmadeus-fm5dd magnus on top , hikaru second,

Money and social media connections. 🤔🤷‍♂️

I think they are all in the same media company, botez as well

chess is not like big movie actors. it also helps that hikaru and levy are chess personalities

They do stuff together lots

The true queen of Castlemania! Anna, I am in gratitude that the universe brought us together. I’m so grateful to you as a friend and coach. I couldn’t have done this without you. Now everybody go subscribe to Anna!!

Hi Anna and blankies! The whole crew is in the comment section! :)

@@MichelleKhare As someone who occasionaly follow your streams, your perseverence against the odds truly deserve an admiration, Michelle. Proud of the 1000 ELO you've finally reached. Great job!

I learned of this journey from Anna's streams. Fantastic work (on both the chess and video). Michelle's work ethic is humbling, and Anna's wisdom as a chess/life coach is profound.

Thank you so much, Lexie !! :D

Hi

😍😍you two 🥰

@@MichelleKhare Glad you started off playing the Queen's Gambit. 👍

You too! Every youtuber I follow is here! Hi Lexie! haha

Anna is fantastic at it, it's what makes her so great

Feeling dumb while playing chess is universal

She makes you feel like your doing good which is *confidence*

Thank you so much for your support and for having me in POGCHAMPS3!!!

You know it's a good video when they teach the bongcloud.

Great Job Michelle 👏. You were great. 😁

Hello

My queens!!! Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to be in this video. 💗 SO grateful to have gotten to learn from you.

Omg I watched you thousands time with samay raina 😁🙏🏻 Love from india 🇮🇳♥

Of course the below average fame obsessed chess girls hopped on the video. LOL. May actually want to feature some actual good female players and not painfully average ones that are just known for their looks.

he should probably name it gothamchess, just seem fitting

He should also probably start a series called "Guess the Elo" where his viewers submit their games that Levi analyzes abd then guesses their Elo.

Why are they talking about her Instagram?

It took her 8 months just to get to 1000 lol

Someone call magnus ...🤣🤣

Yeah isnt he 2nd blitz in the world?

@@brendanpolk6038 he's still the number 1 blitz player in the world.

@@TheMrBonzz no he's not, he lost about 16 points on his last tourny which made him #2 after Carlsen

@@ofiraviv8458 lol because of drawing in st louis he lost points

Apparently, that's my case now... Hope my wife accept my suggestion

@@aldhairmedico9408 I have the opposite "problem". I am really good at chess (for the amount of time that I've been playing), but my tested IQ is nothing out of the ordinary, and now I don't know what to make of it.

That’s why I quit when I was a kid. There is no excuse for bad luck or anything. You lose because you aren’t as food at chess.

@@maxkho00 You just have to learn to apply your mental acuity to other things.

@@justsomeclipsforya91 Oh, I do, no doubt. I usually pick things up very fast and am skilled in a large range of activities. Pretty much the only area in which my "mental acuity" is a limiting factor is IQ tests.

I love that magnus, arguably the greatest chess player of all time, used the bong cloud in an actual tournament and hikaru played the bong cloud accepted in response. You just know the old elitists were malding.

@@jimai808 they mad

@@jimai808 they tied it with the bongcloud in a tournament by threefold repetition.. legends

who are these idiots who are gatekeeping chess?? 🤣🤣 The most useless thing in the world!! Never heard about anyone gatekeeping any games which exists in this world 😅, gatekeeping whaaaat?

what does gatekeeping mean?

Literally said everything ive ever wanted to say

Exactly what I wanted to say!

TBH every time I see Michelle cry I think she's faking it. Like there has to be a narrative arc. There has to be a low moment which she can then turn around.

Don't get me wrong I love her channel but I think every story has to have a low point otherwise why would people watch.

@@LetticeTravels I mean there has to be a storyline with ups and downs for it to be engaging of course, but I think it's still real, just the magic of editing I guess.

He is

I'm always considered the person who people don't like cheering for in competitions- Hikaru

Bros the chess final boss

@@zpond3212 That's Niemman.

This Just Shows how everybody has His own strenghts

It took her 1 year to reach 1000 elo, that may be why she has fears of not being smart enough... :/

Nothing in this video is real. Michelle is a professional actor and storyteller. This video was created to maximize your engagement.

@Marcel Quach Rewatch the video from 29 mins.

very true

Dispenser Of Wisdom dispens your wisdom.

Hikaru?

@@twincherry4958Nakamura Hikaru

Also he never actually trains her or anything, he just speaks from on high 😂

you are here too ??

I'm not crying, you're crying.

This is gods burner account

i know right

Its enough to make a grown man cry, and its okay❤️

Thank you for this kind review, Daniel!! We are so grateful you're a part of our community!!

Have you only seen 1 chess documentary?

​@@gasslighterr shut up

Fantastic journey by Michelle. My only advice would've been to steamroll through some Jeremy Silman books, some Seirawan books, and the Kislik book Applying Logic in Chess, to have a thought process to follow. Really quick books can save a lot of time in the long run, but Michelle was doing this alone, so she couldn't have known.

Yeah, one of my favourites too, and yes I'm rewatching it 🌹✌️🌼!

​@@ladontrellquint4648 too late to reply ig- I appreciate her efforts but doesnt almost everyone has to do it alone?

the grandmaster at LYING FJDKF IM DEAD

Yes, the story of grandma hitting 1k elo would just be too crazy to be believable.

congrats to you too for understanding that! yes, play good takes time. and being good at chess takes even more time! so, til it comes, just enjoy your games sis ;)

@@LittleAleKhine thank you! I will definitely be spending more time enjoying the ride. 😊

Chess is easy if you're only thinking two moves in advance.

She should easily be able to make it to the winners bracket at the level of play she's reached at this point, unless she gets really unlucky with the grouping again.

@@BombLobster It's mentally easy to think 2-3 moves in advance. If you have chess friends that are just as weak then you could have fun winning and losing.

@@BombLobster Chess at the very advanced level is boring cause the 1st 20 moves are memorized.

@@BombLobster Can one with a average I.Q become a very good chess player?

Ackerman

@@arneshpal7702 ackerman? what does it mean?

I think that's why I love these. It proves that somebody doesn't HAVE to ready be gifted to be good at something!

In one stream Anna Rudolf and Levi Rozman said that 1000-1200 is probably the most enjoyable point for chess. You understand enough to know what’s going on and what you’re doing, and there’s plenty for you to still learn, but it hasn’t yet got to the point where your study is more and more dominated by rote memorisation.

@@parimtm stfu as you said, chess is a sport, a leisure activity, and I do whatever tf I want in my free time

@@parimtm so every sport in the world is just useless to you huh

@@Orcahhh waste of space.... I see

Me too

“Its been 84 yrs. 😹”

That's really true.

Except he's not

he didn’t care

Him saying chess players aren't intelligent ...makes me think he has no clue how intelligent the average person is

Playing blindfolded is nothing special. Weak flex. He should have played with a large material handicap instead.

​@@ckobo84that was not what he was saying, he is saying that you do not have to be intelligent to play chess

​@@HighlyCruciferousHow bro felt after saying it was a "weak flex": ✨ 💪🗿

I am glad that Levy is clearing up this IQ chess myth. Maybe there is a slight difference at the absolute highest lvl (not enough to be particularly impressive and probably not causal) but on let's say expert to master lvl it makes literally no difference whatsoever. I can guarantee you that. My trainer was mentally handicapped (2200 rated) and always completely bear my ass just to give one example. He simply knows the game better than me.

Lol that's why I love the game. I lose a game and Im like "wow I hate this.... im gonna play another match"

@@user-ic6nm4ol4r deadass

Yep. In chess even a mediocre player can easily wipe every beginner. The learning curve is very steep. :o If you want to become better you constantly have to face defeat - because the slightest mistake will cost you the game. If you want to become even better you will experience games where you do not make a single clear mistake altogether - but still lose, because the opponent still made better "correct" moves. :)

I am actually very confident at chess but in reality am quite bad.

@@robertwilson3866 Same. I'm like 500 and behave like an expert LUL.

Spoiler alert. Was just browsing comments during initial ads lol

Anna was literally the most supportive person each time. I hope we can all find our own Anna in our life. She truly is such an encouraging, sincere and committed coach. We love Anna so much.

Right!! Castlemania

No

She’s definitely gonna be using castle mania

Which is pretty normal considering the 8 months deduction tbf. Nothing crazy.

@@mono1813 yea, she took 8 months to get to 1000 lmao.

It took her 8 months lmao

to be fair, I was rather surprised by how little progress this was. I know people who I'd consider average in such kind of things that got further with less afford...

@@MrTrollo2 exactly, she had direct coaching and advice from masters and it seems like she consistently put in hours of practice a day for at least a month. Even then it took her 8 months just to get to 1000. I suspect that this is because she made getting better at chess Alot more complicated and difficult than it really is. She was writing down pages of notes and she really was "training like a grandmaster", but you can't do that when you're a sub 1000 player. All she needed to do to surpass 1000 was play dozens of puzzles and games everyday and she would probably be around 1500 by now. I feel like she mightve had this notion that there are secret methods to "get good" at chess quick or smth when in reality all you need to do to improve is play consistently, look at RU-vid videos and learn from your mistakes. In the end, I think all of the first hand coaching she received actually mightve stunted her development because she was learning to run before she could even walk. It's just a theory though and I've never actually watched any of her 1 on 1 coaching sessions so I could be completely wrong. It's either this or she's just that bad at chess which I highly doubt.

He is the boss though.

@@Replis It's a throne lol

The master of grandmasters is Carlsen lol

@@nilsdula7693 Magnus is better i guess but they are pretty much on the same level, grandmasters among grandmasters.

That was the backseat the chat put him on

bruh she spent several months and got to a level that would be unrated for fide rating

I know I spent a few days practicing but I got frustrated that all of my friends were better than me so I quit but I’m looking to get better now

@@upisntdownsilly I mean, we are talking about someone that has never played before. It's like someone picking up a brand new instrument and trying to play with a Jazz band in a few months. Chess is one of those things that you need to just play for a while to get decent at.

@@bryanjacobs9680 i know, but my point is that her improvement is abit slow, like on average a young child would be able to get a rating in like 1-2 years if theyre more dedicated and thats without the apparent multiple hours she spent every day, even other pogchamps competitors who barely had any teaching sessions off camera did better

@@upisntdownsilly to be fair, a young child is a perfect time to learn anything new. As you get older, you'll lose your learning ability.
