Amazing recap Gotham. I would like to suggest that during the game you show us clips of the actual match to convey the emotions of the players. I think it will add to the experience
Gukesh lost - hating start Ding lost- hating start Fact - they are battling in world champion ship match ,means both are top Players So why hate????????
Hi Levy - just want to say I've been watching on and off for about 5 years. It's been so cool to see you become so successful. Especially the recent collaborations with Magnus himself, that must feel so validating! Big props on everything you've done for the chess world.
Gukesh is the best calculating Chess player that this game manages to get Ding Liren lost a lot of time in 25 moves out there. Gukesh is so back in this game.
Oh that one was a much bigger blunder. Fischer came back magnificently of course over the series but that trapped bishop was the result of the type of move I would make and I'm a newbie
0:43 my mom shared the ChatGPT vs Stockfish clip from FB with me recently, I had to tell her I had seen it already because I didn’t make much fanfare when I checked it out
This is awesome. As someone who only has a very basic understanding of the game but still likes it, this was explained so that even I could understand it
I was at the Habitat watching Sagar, Taniya and Samay commenting on the game. We were cheering for Gukesh. We had great fun. I hope to become an IM one day.

Love your commentary Levy. This gives the game a lot more spice. Don't care that Magnus is not there. There is always something to learn and your analysis helps a lot. Cheers from Australia.
What I like about Levi's review is that he never spoils the game unlike all the other channels there like imagine you open youtube then just pops up in your home page vidoes saying like ding won, gukesh won, imagine how it ruins the trill and excitement of the match for those who misses the live game. But gothamchess here always make everything thrilling, exiting, fun for the viewers.
Honestly, I think that losing the title and taking some time away from the sport to work on his mental health would be best for Ding. The added pressure can’t be good for someone already struggling mentally.
@ Ohhh, okay. Sorry, it’s hard to convey tone through text and I just assumed you were being sarcastic. There’s a few of Ding’s interviews on TH-cam where he talks about what he’s been going through. Even in interviews with other GMs, they talk about how they can see that he’s clearly struggling and they feel bad for him.
@@yahira.7031 You try it also bro try to be a Super GM by luck and go play World Chess Championship He sacrificed so many things to reach where he is now
I never get over how good you are at this chess commentary. This is a talent. Did you know you had this skill when you were growing up. Very impressive.
gukesh is warming up for the championship, the more he plays the championship, simoly he gets insanely clinical and accurate and just being solid like ding doesnt help unless you catch gukesh off guard.
4:46 when Levy said there's a million moves I thought his statement was definitely an exaggeration so I checked and I've been real quite since then. 🤐 Edit: After 10 moves the possibilities are 69 quintillion.
It's encouraging to see the young prodigy back in the competition so soon. However, Gukesh isn't fully capitalizing on square control, while Ding is doing so effectively. Strong square control often leads to prophylactic moves, which both players are currently avoiding.
Hard-fought victory for Gukesh! Historic World Championship win over Ding Liren! This amazing game could be the turning point. Now the points are equal but anything can be happen in next games . Maybe we get our 1st ever young world champion ❤❤
