Levy To GM...

PIN OF SHAME LOL

Pin of shame, I guess?

Pin of shame.

he has only heard the phrase so he thought it was 'Slowly but Shirely' this whole time and was as confused as a 1000 hanging their queen for 4 moves in a row.

Let le y apply some ice to that burn

😂

Slowly but surely ooga booga

Second part?

IMHO, His play-by-play” commentary is unmatched.

I agree, though I think it’s primarily because he uses a longer time control so there is more time for explanation in comparison with Hikaru who basically exclusively plays blitz but yes if hikaru made an equivalent of a Sensei speed run it won’t be nearly as good

@@nivnavion Hikaru is a bad teacher

@@Kokurorokuko Hikaru is not a teacher. However, his walkthroughs of his own games are absolutely unmatched, and shows that Hikaru is miles ahead of Danya in pure chess.

@@tonyliu9493 I would definitely not recommend watching hikaru if you want to learn chess in the range of 700-1300 elo. Most of the time I see his content as entertainment.

Levy*

Why do people still call him levi 😔there’s literally a whole Gotham city video dedicated to the people who write his name incorrectly

@@DeJay7 LVVVEEY

@@DeJay7 *Levi

@@nivnavion yer that’s why lol. It’s a joke! People started calling him Levi ironically as a funny bit. Relax and look for your funny bone. I think it’s the big one in your leg.

I'm guessing you saw his twitch where he explained that if it doesn't do well he can't keep making a particular series? I really like this kind of content

What kind of content?

It’s very instructive but it’s also very advanced. More keen to Danya’s audience

Check out Andras Toth!

Best crossover episode ever

Former US #1 and #2 baby

If you have to design a chess engine, i think you should go exactly for this kind of idea

@@riccardofiori828 already how they work :) they use DFS and other related algorithms... basically different ideas to decide on the best trees of moves to traverse.

@@MeMe-nm7jr yeah, i imagine that it was so, it's cool because it's quite natural to see the sequence of possible moves like a tree :)

​@@riccardofiori828 Alpha/Beta, stockfish's algorithm, is actually an enhanced version of A* search. There are five main subclasses of the "search" algorithm, DFS, Breadth first (BFS) where you explore all possible choices before moving to the next depth. There's also UCS, Uniform Cost Search, where the "cheapest" paths are explored first, and Greedy Search, where only a heuristic is used and the closest to the destination is explored first. A* search uses cost and heuristics, to search the best nodes first. Minimax is the two player version of A*, where the algorithm attempts to maximize the score for one side, and minimize the score for the other. Alpha/Beta includes Pruning on top of minimax, which can drastically help search times by removing entire branches from the search, just like a human might.

@@riccardofiori828 they generally use a similar principle, but depth first search alone will take too long even just looking a few moves ahead. Adding alpha beta pruning will help, but only so much. AB pruning intuitively is discounting a certain sequence of moves because you already know you found something better. I think the easiest functional chess engines would use a combination of depth first search (minimax with AB pruning) and some heuristic function to evaluate positions, so that you can limit your search to a few moves at a time. The function could be as simple as the value of the pieces remaining, or could somehow incorporate more positional information Your intuition about depth first search building a tree is perfect :) It’s the best way to solve a lot of 2 player games that have a relatively small set of game states

Not relatable

I have lol. Ran into a few of them when they were doing the chess played quick speed run. Got destroyed lmao

I played against Hikaru once on his stream and got rolled, resigned after 12 moves, lmao

The fact that you call them gains is hilarious :P

@@Sejdr considering he is a chess player they are kinda gains for that demographic

@@Sejdr the fact that you can't acknowledge progress is not hilarious but quite a shame

@@juristankiewicz4720 Hey Fanboy, Chill before you burst an artery. It was a joke!

@@Sejdr I thought jokes were funny not just condescending?

what does happen between them?

@@viniciussouzamartins8423 Levy and Hikaru would stream together often, in the past. Hikaru acted like a mentor or big brother; but he was kind of mean toward Levy, and it threw off the good vibes a lot of the time.

Totally. Pedagogically, Daniel is superb, and in terms of personality, I much prefer him to Hikaru. This is a collab I've long waited for!

​@@ZarazXero not gonna lie, had to look up pedagogical but I'm glad I learned a new word.

@@Hailiums Glad I could help! 😄

Never going to happen.

@@Etherglide damn

I played it as a kid but never at any kind of competitive level. Then during the Covid Armageddon I discovered Lichess and Chess.com

Pretty sure they do it on purpose to get pinned

@@Marco-sm9bu Or they are just fed up with all his lies and clickbaits

@@PhilL30tard0 free entertainment. seethe, mald, cope

@@pkermen I just unsubbed and life goes on if you call this entertainment then good for you…luckily there are other chess youtubers

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡

Would’ve? As non English speaker you guys really make it hard to learn by reading comments.

@@acpliego Half of english speakers don’t know how to write/spell properly, so good luck to you👌

@@Meer17251 that’s exactly my point

@@Meer17251 most of it is on native speakers Most people who learn English as a second language write better, although not imperatively I think it's in large part thanks to the fact that not native speakers would take their English lessons more seriously but feel free to correct me.

@@moving_knight Non-native speakers generally learn a second language primarily academically, so they learn the grammar and syntax correctly from the ground up. Native speakers learn intuitively as children and so often don't actually understand their own language academically.

If you like Eric Rosen, you will love Jonathan Schrantz. The gambits he comes up with are insane!

And it's better for casual viewers to just let it go at their pace. Possibly could edit in a board for future videos. I'm assuming Levy has some editors.

That GM thing... just simply forget it.
