I legit thought that with Levy's GM training and overall great bullet skills, he'll smoke Eric... This was a nice surprise.. Great games tho, really exciting... Eager to watch the matches from Levy's POV..
I get the feeling that when these 2 play a non-competitive match, they both stray from what is "solid chess and known theory" and delve into "this might be some interesting chess" or "I think this might work..." rather frequently.
I don't know whom to support bcz I love both of them.. But after these games somehow I felt may be I love Eric little bit more.. Not for his extraordinary skills (result can goes either way), bcz of his innocence..

"Levy is a fighter, but I am Forker", perfect timing, lol
I love how evenly matched these 2 IMs are. Makes for great matches to watch.
To the point that Eric beat Hikaru and Levy beat Dubov the other day in the same tournament!!
“Let’s move quicker and play stronger.”
Me (beginner who blunders constantly): Yes I agree
Chess can be so simple!
“the first step to winning is drawing” brilliant

This comment pwns
I'm really impressed that these two ratings have been so similar throughout all these years
"I should sigh more." One of the most Eric Rosen things ever said.
“Levy is a fighter, but I’m a forker.” Sums up this match pretty nicely.
Love the more than daily uploads keep it up Eric!!
21:57 "I should sigh more" - don't know why, but it just cracked me up laughing
it's such an _eric_ thing to say, I love it
1:13:55 "Levy is a figher, but I am a forker"
and goes ahead and fork him. That cracked me up.

Eric, if I ever meet you in person I’ll buy you a beer (or tea) and give you a hug. You’re a treasure.
High level bullet like this is just beautiful to watch, Levy's tactics in game 4 were great and to see them all go down in .2 seconds is incredible.
i love the friendship you two have

I didn’t realize these 2 were legends.. Magnus should take notes from these two!
Incredibly detailed description. You are awesome Eric.

Welcome bro
13:00 -- That knight to C3 triple fork ... aaah.
I remember watching Levy's stream... against the Walrus he said "nope! nope! (*Ng1*) this opening is called 'win a pawn and get the f out of here'"
“He’s very tricky…I’m also tricky. D’oh I’m not tricky!!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great match 👍
Merry Christmas Eric Thanks for all the wonderful content
Imagine Levy playing in lichess. That would be cool
He just played in agadmators tournament on lichess along with Rosen
“Let’s try and move quicker and play stronger “ -Eric
That *sigh* at the end; pure gold Eric, pure gold 👌
24:09 The loudest Eric Rosen has ever been
It's amazing watching you two play.....I'm happy if I can understand more than 70% of the game play. LOL Keep it up, we're lovin' it!
Gotham: *plays eric*
Gotham’s pawns: *chuckles* I’m in danger
I always felt like Levy just wasn’t that good compared with top players but bro he is scary to play when watching him as black holy
Eric isnt a top player either tho, against the actual top 10 he wouldnt be scary at all I think
Levy is is still good man. It’s like the nba you have all stars and then you have good players.
Eric: sighs
Heart rate: drops by 12
Eric: Levy’s a fighter but I’m a forker
Eric: "I need to hire a butler to bring me tea" lmfao
"Maybe I should 'sigh' more. It may help lower my heart rate". *Heart rate actually drops* hahaha
53:49 is what we all wanted to see!
“Levy’s a fighter, but I’m a forker”
“It’s about to be Zugzwang… but for who” 😂😂
Eric: “levy is a fighter, but I’m a forker”
Words to live by lol
its nice to see the bros back in action
1.13.59 "Levy's a fighter, but I'm a forker.." Rosen classic.
Wooooo another long video!! Thanks Eric!
57:25 I think there was a nice tactic there: 38 … d2 followed by either 39 … Kb3 or 39 … d1Q.
Definitely d2
42:16
Oh he' so tricky...
But I'm also tricky..
D'oh I'm not tricky....
This did me :')
Levy's a fighter, but I'm a forker LOL
It must take ears of steel to play against Levy. He sounds like a teenager on speed.
0:30 had magnus challenged Eric Rosen??😂
this was great... more of this please
14:51 why no fork on c7? Isn’t the checkmate defended by the rook?
I can't believe how much mileage you're getting out of this orthoschnapp lol. good games!
To quote Abraham Lincoln: "Cold hands, sweaty palms."
So much fun! More please!
Learning from both of you is a blessing
I feel like if levy was going for a flag every time he was losing with like 15 seconds on the clock he could’ve ended up winning majority
He's so tricky. I'm also tricky. Doh, I'm not tricky! LMAO
More of this please!!
"A dirty mate is more powerful than a dirty flag"-- Eric. {👉41:05}
Yes! The two Super IMs are back!

spoken like a true 800 😇
@@tenpenny1245 Well someone sucks at guess the Elo. And it ain’t Gotham.

Wisdom from Eric
3:52 can someone tell my why rxe4 doesnt work?
Oh no my attention 🖤 I love watching you two so much.
40:45 Eric hung mate seriously and levy didn’t see it 🧐
Nah bruh he didn't, the rook was pinned and therefore it couldn't capture the back rank rook
Levy walks the walk.
Oh He's so tricky!!! Oh but I'm also tricky...oh no I'm not tricky 😢 - resigns 42:17
Imagine being called gothamchess, having made a tier list about chess openings, saying the hippo opening is bad and then playing it yourself.
