Oh man, you weren't kidding about those Grischuk interviews. "Am I satisfied? I mean it was okay, I slept for half the game. Then I wake up and I only have six minutes"
I've been thinking about yesterday and I actually think players would be able to give their spot to Ding Liren. Not because they "give" them their spot, but because FIDE takes in replacements based on rating.
Well, Ding Liren would CLEARLY be the next guy up if I'm not mistaken, assuming they don't have any reason to pick someone based on a different . . . something. In other words, it seems like they *should* have Ding Liren as the "replacement" in that scenario unless some other factors are at play.
One of the things I love about Gotham is that he is totally independent, butt i find his content more entertaining and intriguing than the most shows on cable tv. How does one streamer outdo a whole network? I think its his passion for the game, and his realness as a person. keep it up Gotham!
He did play in candidates.His playing style is a bit unorthodox.We are not sure which levon will show up in the games.Levon, Nepo, Duvob are sometimes too creative to win their games.
@@TheArmenianSolider65 I know that Soviets had Prioritised chess in their period and Soviet championship was said to be harder than WCC. surely Soviet-era had great chess culture.
Levy, I love your videos - I watch them all, genuinely. Part of my favourite elements of the videos is being told, rightly, that I’d lose a winning position! Always makes me laugh, and is always true…but for the fact there’s no way I’d have gotten to that stage of the game without hanging many pieces beforehand. 😂 Also, I love when you allow yourself to give insight into what madness Stockfish offers up as an escape route. Not only is it fascinating and enlightening (if a little infuriating…”shut up computer”) - but it’s also really funny to see you plot out what it recommends…only to then get pissed at the absurdity of what it’s suggesting! Thanks a million for the videos - I’m knee deep in Covid at the moment, they’re keeping me sane. ❤️
That Levon v Keymer game was the definition of "there's levels to this sht". Keymer ist the greatest up and comer Germany had in this millenium but Levon is already at the level any young GM could aspire to get too.
I wouldn't be so harsh judging Keymer's potential... remember, he's currently playing chess part-time alongside school, while most of the young GMs around his age don't need to "waste time" on it. According to Kramnik (his trainer) it's really holding him back and he said in a recent interview that he's really excited about the progress he expects Vincent will be able to express once he graduates this year.
@@raffaeledivora9517 like not having school exams will make a difference lol Kramnik also said that they still have many holes in their playing style that they need to work on and experience to gain and btw the gentleman who wrote the comment was not harsh at all he literally described Keymer as Germanys greatest up and coming player
It's really cool to see Levy correcting the way that he pronounces foreign words and names. As a Latin I find it a really respectful attitude towards other languages
I play the Caro-Kann so often that I’m starting to get vertigo whenever I see a Caro game from the White perspective. Which is unfortunate because I sometimes play e4 and thus occasionally *face* the Caro from White’s perspective…
20:43 constructing Alekhine’s gun to win the c file, beautiful If anyone wants to be technical, I know the queen’s not in the back but still it basically works the same way
Levy, you're awesome man. Could you give us a standings update after each match? I know I could just look em up but sometimes I'm behind and don't want the spoilers. Keep up the great content my dude.
I enjoy so much with these recaps im feeling stronger player guessing a lot of moves after watching this and then im opening site make a game and dont know what to do after the opening . Chess is hard game
Since you are reading comments about Leinier's name pronunciation you should know that he was born in Cuba, not France so you really should pronounce the "r"at the end of his name.
Whenever Levy says, "You'd lose this position, but not these players at this level," he's complimenting them, not trashing you, and he often likewise says, "I'd lose this position, but not them at this level." Just listen.
''visual travesty and yet is highly effective.. and very talented.. kind of like myself :)'' Spilled my water but worth it because that was just brilliant! :D
@@psychookapi4483 it was a GTE, in which a subscriber rated 1600 hung a piece on move six. After that, the same 1600 didn’t trap the opponent’s queen by playing rook a4. Levy made a song about that, and the 1600 answered with another song in his RU-vid channel, in which one of the main lines was “I saw rook a4, I just didn’t like it”. Search in RU-vid “I saw rook a4, I just didn’t like it”, and you will find a video made by a channel called Young Elo.
21:42 when i was analysing french defense, the engine was saying a3 is best move. Not to mention a3 leads to some complicated game when both sides play the top moves.
