It’s so fun seeing Levy play full out in all seriousness. I think his self deprecating humor and his friendship with Hikaru makes people underestimate just how strong of a player he really is

[@Sitbear]

Levy and Hikaru aren’t friends

[@Khairan99]

@@Sitbear he really is

[@DidierPilon]

At the end of the day, the difference between levy and his viewers is much bigger than the difference between Hikaru and Levy. :)

[@worminaround]

​@@DidierPilonlevy's viewers average 1k elo higher than that is overestimating

[@seldom_bucket]

@@Khairan99 😅 they really aren't...
Hikaru hates any mention of his name, they used to be but hikaru ego tripped from the respect levy showed him and got really disrespectful.
Something deffo happened behind the scenes but they never made a deal about it and just went their separate ways.

"Here's a man who needs to learn from his own book" jeez Robert. 3:03:49

[@sidd4891]

Danya is such a class commentator

[@choochoo3041]

Congratz to Levy🎉! His insane resilience paid off. Love to see him competing in chess.

[@abhigyanmukherjee9927]

Who said that levy couldn't comeback...Levy, the comeback king....❤️❤️ Congratulations Levy...b

[@Myhands12]

Leaving this comment for myself to remember to watch 3:33:33 whenever I need a laugh

[@KancerKowboy]

I hate I missed this live, I bet the chat was insane LOL

[@venkinta3343]

You should have seen the twitch chat when levy blundered M1 😂😂😂

[@bannakornhadkaew8036]

I feel bad for greg he look sad by any chance if you see my comment you did a great job bro

[@kingkillah101]

I'm not a data scientist, but GM Danya calling it a 'meta-fork' is possibly the best seasoned assist of '23

[@justinkeefe3456]

I didn’t know Levy wrote a book. Congratulations if you see this!
Have a grata day everyone. GREAT commentary as always guys

[@DonReyOrantoy]

i am just watching the recap, did levy sacrificed the ROOOOKKK???

[@shashwatmaharjan2667]

at 2:55:22 (sort of)

[@DonReyOrantoy]

@@shashwatmaharjan2667 you're an mvp bro.

[@jamessala10]

Not only is levy, an amazing entertainer and teacher, but the dudes got game

[@hemingway8930]

Levi has to stop saying he is not good enough. He is a excellent player who can aim upwards and fully achieve his goals. Godspeed @Gothamchess 😊

[@KancerKowboy]

Congratulations Levy, wish I could work on your mental game. You just need to live in the MOMENT. No past and no future, no ego, don't be attached to the outcome. Work on that an you will excel.

[@karinvasu3005]

actually good advice lol

[@SouICoffin]

What a great match between two chess hunks.

[@BuskingAndChess]

Levy “hot and heavy” Rozman vs Greg “the hottie” shahade.

[@garys5175]

Robert and Danya are the best commentating team.

[@melzz]

Levy camera is so good, the best of 4 of them

[@badassnewbie]

First of all, I'm not your teacher. Second of all, I'm not a GM, so stop en-passanting at me.

[@skybreezy3404]

bro Levy needs to lay off the Adderall a little bit

[@nonchalantzzakaria]

Promote to a rock is just insane 😂😂

[@DidierPilon]

Honestly, i now dream that someday Hess will call something I’ve accomplished « phenomenal ». Lol

[@alexonstott4954]

Super proud of Levy for gutting out a ruthless comeback after making a video earlier this year talking about his struggles with pressure and stress. And in this position his composure sent his opponent into a spiral to win. Phenomenal personal growth by Levy.

[@sanitary103]

congrats to Levy but I was rooting for Greg.I think Greg is the superior player but bullet just gets him every time vs Levy.

[@CrimsonCypher]

I like chess, but do people actually watch this for 4 hours?

[@vinsdiego8602]

3:33:58

[@garys5175]

we want to see the Spassky photo!

[@Mutzland]

Game three of the first segment (58:14) I saw g3, black to respond, and Bf4 attacking the Queen

[@valentinaavramovska525]

Great video

[@lukebarendlikesbear]

That's the guy from GTA V !!!

[@kil607]

Y'all we're not ready for rock Master

[@crushedscouter9522]

sucks that the bullet has such a disproportionate influence over the outcome. terrible structure

[@hybridmajik]

Man, the post interview seemed a little painful. Props to Greg for holding it together. I'm not sure how serious this was to him, but if I just lost a tournament, I wouldn't want to sit there and chat about "what I did wrong" with the winner.

[@MegaAndyandyandy]

Yo... He hung rook e4 and he didn't like it!!!!

[@sohambanerjee1534]

im losing my mind

[@wolflink9000]

Man im so sad levy won

[@bt7516]

?

[@fatihsonmez]

There is no pin of shame here, relax :d

[@Daves0]

Stay sad❤
