I'm very invested in your road to GM, but not because I want you to succeed, which I do. I am so invested because you are doing something very difficult, which means a lot to you, and you are doing it publicly as a perfectionist. Every stepback is there for everyone to see and judge. I can see how much you're pushing yourself out of your comfort zone and not letting setbacks push you to self-sabotage.
All the best, Levy! Don't care about the hate/discouraging/pin of shame comments posting here. There're lots of real chess fans supporting you. Keep going on your journey, and I know you'll accomplish your dream targets. Let's go!
A very wholesome interview... Quite rare these days. Hope both the players enjoy their game and give their all. You better win levy. Not biased at all.
You two are a wholesome duo. Levy, I always got the sense you two weren't friends or I guess rather never got the sense you actually were. But you too are both just so nice and chill and funny and used to being on camera that regardless of where this fall from friendly to business, you two together are always gonna be respectful and natural. Wholesome indeed.
Can we just appreciate Anna's horror at Levy ranking Danish cinnamon rolls over Swedish ones? 20:15🤣Scrolled through the comments a bit and surprised that not more people have mentioned this
If she was asked what is Sweden's greatest achievement, IKEA, Volvo, Saab, Ericsson, Spotify, H&M, Abba, ... , or cinnamon rolls, I think we know the answer 😁.
@@torejorgensen5344 Don't forget Surströmming - you know, the fermented fish that smells so bad it deforms the tin it comes in and is banned on airlines for being a potential explosion hazard? Apparently great with sour cream and potatoes (outside)
The Nordic countries are famously not very outwardly nationalistic, but telling a Danish or Swedish person that the other country's pastry is better, that is just not a good idea…
Anna and Levy are joy to watch. Levy has brutal humor and Anna is so pure and excited. All this to say I hope Levy throws her mom across the room with his chess😭❤️🩹
I like politeness and respect and I saw it in this video. Is just an other game, let's go with the flow. Would be great to see more collaborations with Anna and Pia.
Do people realise how huge it is to be welcomed by Anna and Pia in their training camp? Aside of the content creation side, it means you are a worthy chess player and a true gentleman. For comparison, people involved in the recent chess dramas will never be welcomed in Sweden let alone their private dwelling. It is an honour to be there and Levy knows it. Anna and Pia, also know, hosting Levy is huge. It is a win-win situation. Now, let us enjoy the games and learn 😊
I couldnt imagine 24 years ago, in school, that chess would be so popular and social. It seemed back then something outdated and misterious. Chess is perfectly exportable to a culture of technology and science, but still retaining its classical, contemplative aura
Gotham, please do not say it is luck as to why you beat nepo, you are an expert at chess and can compete at the highest level. Lets get that chess confidence up the same way you get our chess confidence up
I hope that the match will be close and entertaining. I have to confess that I'm rooting for Pia, as much as I like Levy. Whatever happens, may the best player win.
Absolutely admire you levy ever since I've watched your chess openings I've improved from 1200 to 1600 and still getting a lot more better in my middle game keep it up
Levy has been improving so much since his grandmaster series, he is the goat here. Calm af ready to get another grandmaster under his belt. Feeling confident for Levy here. Keep doing your best! 4:36
Here, in contrast to his streams, we see a chill sweetness & open honesty in Levy. Kudos! If you dedicate that giga brain of yours to the GM goal, I do believe you’ll prove Hikaru wrong.
I love the mention about adhd medication and levy noting it’s not that great a difference as to be honest all those medications are designed to do is help focus if you’re in a silent room and controlled environment it’s a lot easier to focus meds or not at least this is how I find it as I’m on meds normally but don’t take them in tournament settings and find my play is very similar unless something specifically distracting happens in the controlled setting
The video where you played Pia Cramling and won, was one of my first videos I saw from this channel. That's why when I watched you play the bot, I was like, "he really forgot!?" Much love and respect to Pia, but I honestly think you can pull through. I'm rooting for you Levy😊
It's really nice that you and your team still read and engage with the comments. Many with so many subs begin ignoring subsribers. I never see Anna engaging with her subcribers.... Perhaps anna will learn from you and begin engaging.
Wow Levy what a background 😊🎉 And Levy Rozman is the my only characteristic foreign youtube channel (subscription added) without any bad words... so family favourite 😊
Yet I think it is great that he gave his honest impression without cloaking it in nice words. She can handle it an will now be motivated to teach him about food quality concerning cinnamon rolls until he either gains 10 pounds or resigns to her arguments 😉
Predictions, anyone? I think it will be close. However, based on their current levels, Pia has to take this by a small margin at least. Even this type of marginal defeat would be great for Levy. I wish both of them would come in each day with their best chess frame in mind. Pia : Levy 19 pts : 17pts Day 1- 7.5 : 4.5 Day 2- 6 : 6 Day 3- 5.5 : 6.5 Although deep down I hope levy pulls off a victory. Im excited to watch, gl to both.
Levy, you are such a fine human being....truly genuine. Pia is a also a true and beautiful person. Play well! Have fun! I'll will definitely be watching.
I love both of your channels; I went from losing most of my matches to winning most in just a couple days! Even beat my buddy Mikey whose Elo is three times higher than mine!!! You helped me find the fun in chess again! Thanks XD
I like it the most when you are relaxed, because you know in most of the time you‘re super active, but yeah wish you all the best to beat Pia, I‘m probably at school so I‘ll surely rewatch it!
You know this might be an unpopular opinion, but I'm giving the edge to Levy. I think that Pia has a bit of an advantage in the classical format, but I just think Levy is a monster at blitz. Well outside the skill range you'd expect if you were to look at his classical games.
GM Pia gonna smoke bro so bad 😭😭😆😆😆

Still gonna get wrecked though

levy and Anna vibe greatly together tbh, I think they should cohost more. also levy and Hans weirdly together give a very entertaining mixture hahaha
I like politeness and respect and I saw it in this video.

I think Levy's biggest weakness is getting in his head. I think if he can just stay out of his head and focus on the board he will play very well.
23:46 "No that's a personal problem " 😅 Good thing that Anna is so cool and playful.
Doing a chess interview in front of a chessboard and not playing chess is insane
I was waiting them playing chess😂
sacrilege
bro is held at gunpoint
levy your growth as a person is inspiring man thanks for all the chess videos, rooting for you!
Anna is so sweet and accommodating as a host. Kinda following in the footsteps of her mum.
The Kramnik shade at 8:44 is wild 💀
the best thing is that levys book is on one of the shelfs
This feels like this match is gonna be bigger than a magnus vs hikaru match up
that's because you're in a fanboy bubble
Fangiscool1 is a huge hater. Disregard
@GothamChess you better not lose matches becasue of people watching u. Cuz I know u take that pressure alot. That's why u performed badly in Italy
@GothamChess I mean he isn't really wrong.
Don't get me wrong, the match will be cool, but there are definitely more hype matches out there.
@@GothamChess
Yeah, personal problems converted to seeking attention.
Hopefully Nieksans commentates. Bro is a master comentator.
I'd like to see Hammer and Neiksans duo.
Hammer is such a weird ass douche
I love the setting! Looking forward to seeing this showdown.
Honestly a wholesome interview
37:38 ''Get outta here''
Both of them very sweet. Inspiring people.
This was a great interview! So glad you posted it.
0:00 levy blinked 3 times bros actually kidnapped lol
I adore both these guys! They're such sweet humans 💜💚💜💚
0:45 bro is willingly kidnapped
I stopped playing over the board chess in 1982, it is so nostalgic to see that times' chess clocks displayed as items of antiquity..
Gotham, please do not say it is luck as to why you beat nepo, you are an expert at chess and can compete at the highest level. Lets get that chess confidence up the same way you get our chess confidence up
✅️
In the GM saga we have reached, training with a master part of the anime arc
Anna:“Is that what you do in interviews? You interrupt the other person?”
Levy:”In the Hans one, yes”
LMAO
what's the timestamp for where Levy offers Anna coaching with Neiksans for 100k
55:77 ur welcome
I can rarely stay through whole interviews, but this was fantastic. LETS GO LEVY!
Pia is going to be Levy's kryptonite because she so solid. Solid players tend to win over the flashy attacking players.
Not always but levy hidtorically has problems eith them
Indeed. Petrosian have a positive score against Mihail Tal
@@salvadorsempere1701 I believe in all games they played, they are actually drawn
I wish you all the best in the tournament Levy, and same said to Pia. Don't let these people discourage you & believe in yourself.
Bro ends up getting kidnapped where ever he goes 💀💀
30:02 crazy ahh statement from anna 😛
havent tuned in for a while and thought "has he finally made it", thanks Anna for confirming early on
I'm glad to see Levy's book on the shelf in back.
I hope that the match will be close and entertaining. I have to confess that I'm rooting for Pia, as much as I like Levy. Whatever happens, may the best player win.
Smash (Levy)
Love everything about this interview!! Great conversation great people!
Anna is so wholesome it’s almost offputting 😂
As a Finn I am sorry to hear you are visiting Sweden. But don't worry, the grass is always greener on the other side... of the Baltic Sea.
That's a gorgeous set-up, great video

Delightful interview. Good atmosphere, good listening, good questions. Go Pia! :)
Great interview, Anna. Levy is super chill. The secret to winning the match is eat a cinnamon roll before play.
bro is hostage
At last we found who the kidnapper is this time
All the best Levy! Just play and try your best. You are going to achieve great things and this is the beginning.
Here, in contrast to his streams, we see a chill sweetness & open honesty in Levy. Kudos! If you dedicate that giga brain of yours to the GM goal, I do believe you’ll prove Hikaru wrong.
Pia Cramling is the strongest boss for Levy so far
Gotham chess is so entertaining to watch while eating i never really comment but Gotham keep it up man i love your content
That was a good interview. Good luck and good games to you both.
levy has actually helped me beat a 1350 chess bot, thank you levyy!!
Anna is such a cool person 😊 like you talk to her and immediately want to become friends
You got this Levy we are supporting u all the way through
I am so excited for this match, this is just going to be a lot of wholesome fun.

That's why when I watched you play the bot, I was like, "he really forgot!?"
Much love and respect to Pia, but I honestly think you can pull through. I'm rooting for you Levy😊
I like it when the both of you used your normal speaking voices instead of your TH-camr voices. 🙂
It's really nice that you and your team still read and engage with the comments.

19 pts : 17pts
Day 1- 7.5 : 4.5
Day 2- 6 : 6
Day 3- 5.5 : 6.5
Although deep down I hope levy pulls off a victory. Im excited to watch, gl to both.
@thelurker3795 I was referring to OTB chess rating from International chess federation profile data.
6.5-5.5 to levy in blitz feels too small of a gap. Levy wins 7.5-4.5 in blitz
We are an army of good vibes... feel the frequency. Best!
Levy, you are such a fine human being....truly genuine. Pia is a also a true and beautiful person. Play well! Have fun! I'll will definitely be watching.
23:30 “ that sounds like a personal problem” 😂😂😂
