I think a “guess the eval” would be a good series. Levy plays a game and at certain moments asks us to guess the eval and then reveal the eval bar and why. So a clip of a crazy sacrifice ask us what the eval bar did I think that would be fun.
Yeah, the roots of many words are the same. I speak some French and even though I hardly know any Spanish I can often roughly understand what people talk about.
As a Spanish native speaker, you are right. Italian and Spanish ARE similar, so much so that we can sort of communicate with each other somewhat effectively without switching languages.
Hey Levy, Don’t know if this message will ever reach you, but I just wanted to say thank you. You content (and especially your calm voice) is carrying me to a pretty rough time right now. You can’t even imagine how often you have calmed me down from a panic attack. You have an impact on this world that goes far beyond chess. Thanks for doing all of this ❤
I'm also not sure it's gonna reach him, but it reached a lot of people. Hope it all turns out well for you. You're gonna get through whatever it is a stronger person.
I'm italian and spanish is way similar to our language, this summer me and my cousin used to hangout with a group of spanish guys and we used to speak with them in italian and they responded in spanish and we understood each other, eventually we learn a bit of spanish
Yeah, the roots of most words are the same in Spanish, French, Portuguese and Italian. I'm not a native speaker of any of them but I know some French so I can at least understand basic Spanish and Italian. But Italian has to be the coolest of them, I just love the sound.
It's actually accurate to say that Italian and Spanish sound similar. They're both Latin-rooted languages that share a lot in common with their root language.
When I started playing chess Tigran Petrosian was World Champ. Been following chess as an armature since. Played the WY state chess championship 1983 open section (only official tournament I ever played) and took 3rd place outright. With all due respect to Capablanca, Kasparov, Karpov, Kramnik, Vici... but Magnus... whole other level. Magnus is the GOAT with honorable mentions to Morphy and Petrosian who were epic.
love wide range of references u make, ufc? press channel? football? just love it hahah im new to chess and it feels more welcoming i guess lol "i like this guy lets keep watching", rather than be super serious and talk pure chess at all times, the chess content is easy to follow along too, or at least feel like im following along lmao
As a korean that just watched the korea vs ghana game and just wanted to forget it ever happened , I want to thank you for spitting that "fun fact" in my face as a drive by for no reason 😀 . I am fine
My dog thanks you for stopping the piece plunking sounds. Regardless how low the sounds are, she is terrified, like if she's hearing firecrackers or thunder.
I like piece sounds when watching live games or playing myself but with your recaps especially when you skip forward a bit sometimes, dont need any sound effects.
I play with piece sounds on, but I'm really glad they're off for analysis videos. That would be incredibly distracting, especially when blitzing through moves to get to a particular position or during a quick overview of the entire game.
True but the eras are not really equivalent. Gary himself said that he thought it was impossible for anyone to dominate chess once engines came into picture. Magnus was still able to do that is just astounding.
@@hasslfoot Basically that for every idea that Carlsen comes up with in any of his games, an engine will instantly refute it with something stronger. Carlsen also end up being the most analyzed player ever. All of his moves, all of his repertoires, openings, strengths or weaknesses are all analyzed by the far superior engines and each and every gm studies and prepares for all of them. It thus makes it much more difficult to maintain supremacy in this era where not only information is so freely available but also everyone has a personal teacher who is way stronger than even the world champion which constantly shows them all the faults in his play and how to beat him. Engines thus act like a great equalizer among all top players. If anything a world champion becomes a target and is even more disadvantaged against other players for all the above reasons. Thus its astronomically difficult for a player to stand out as clearly and for as long as Carlsen has done. Which is why Gary rightly thought the way he did. Also why he respects Carlsen so much.
For the love of all that's holy. Two dudes - no bishops... And Levi starring you dead in the eyes for a sec there. I never laughed so hard in months! I officially worship your commentary style
Just wanted to let you know as somebody who suffers from anxiety and has all my life you can get better at it you could see it coming create tools to deal with it better but it probably will never go away but there is light down the end of that tunnel
4:44 If the pawn is bishop pawn or rook pawn and is in the second rank it's a draw if the king is too far from the pawn. There are stalemate positions. Almost all masters know this endgame tricks yet most don't explain them to the beginners Idk why....
How can you play with no sound ? Sometimes there is a bug and I have no sound, I am completely unaware of certain move and wait a long time to hear the move and I lose on time.
I'll be honest I have been watching these videos for a while now. I never noticed the piece sounds were turned off until they were turned on and then turned off again, but now the silence is like the only thing I hear.
Wow, talk about your click-bait trash title
Just in time
no
Comment speaks for itself-Nans Heiman
Pin of Shame
pin of reality
Before Levy changed Magus to Magnus, i honestly thought that magnus mightve done something so magical that he ascended humanity and became a mage
Lol same 🤣
Transcended
In fairness, after watching those games, I would believe you if you said that he did.
Dang someone beat me to this comment
the bot is literally called “checkmark”, and is not even verified.
and lol, it even edits the comment to make it seem ever so slightly more human.
Weird that GM Magnus Carlsen and notable chess wizard Magus Carlsen have never been seen in the same room together

and half of his fanbase are kids...🤨
@@yaywippee well not his problem
Carlsen makes other GMs look like me.
INSANE VIDEO SHEESH
Lmao🤣🤣
That's nothing. I can make _you_ look like a GM
do you mean carlen

I just realized how impressive it is that Levi always records in a single take

That move from Magus was jaw dropping

Just the fact how Magnus made a 2600+ GM look like a beginner is astounding
Did not look like a bigger at all.
Salem is 2700 classical
not exactly a beginner, they played positional chess through a lot of moves.
I think a “guess the eval” would be a good series. Levy plays a game and at certain moments asks us to guess the eval and then reveal the eval bar and why. So a clip of a crazy sacrifice ask us what the eval bar did I think that would be fun.
iirc he made two episodes about it but stopped.
@@whovianmusic yeah I think it ended up being guess the elo with extra steps and not as fun
It was boring and stupid. Reason why he stopped
@@jonbayuga3238 you’re boring and stupid
bro honestly, he made like 1 or 2 episodes of guess the eval and never talked about it again
The craziest thing is it went from winning by 0.2 to winning by 0.3 when he fixed it from magus to magnus
That is a +50% gain. Little known fact, Stockfish has name recognition built in.
underrated
Magnus Carlsen is one step closer to Cagnus Marlsen. The penultimate version of himself.
Carlos Magnussen*
what comes last?
Cagnus LMFAO
No offense man but cagnus sounds like Kacknuss to me which translates in german to „shitnut“
Nucsag Arselmn?
i'm amazed they're releasing a new version of magnus already
edit: and after the title change this joke doesn't work anymore
Yeah. The last version added the Catalan, I wonder what this version will add.
This isn,t even his final form
New version of magfish
Pin of greatness
@@battlesausage9691 Cagnus Marlsen, the best version of Magnus Carlsen
9:25 Levy admits that he has the clap
Least it was only that, sweaty situation until you know xD
Never learned a single word in Spanish and I survived 2 Spanish girlfriends just with being native Italian, Levi has a point there
Yeah, the roots of many words are the same. I speak some French and even though I hardly know any Spanish I can often roughly understand what people talk about.
Certainly they should have similarities somewhere the languages?
Yeah, these two languages are really similar.
Survived 🤣🤣fitting choice of words.
All those tongues have the same roots, it's interesting if you study a little where the English, Spanish, French, Italian (and some others) come
As a Spanish native speaker, you are right. Italian and Spanish ARE similar, so much so that we can sort of communicate with each other somewhat effectively without switching languages.

I like piece sounds. They sound so satisfying and they help me process what's going on.
Me too. I find it significantly harder to pay attention without piece noises
I agree. It also helps sometimes helps in game when you hear the moves. At least I think so.
Hey Levy,
Don’t know if this message will ever reach you, but I just wanted to say thank you. You content (and especially your calm voice) is carrying me to a pretty rough time right now. You can’t even imagine how often you have calmed me down from a panic attack. You have an impact on this world that goes far beyond chess. Thanks for doing all of this ❤
Me too actually.
Sweet :) He is funny as hell, the stupid figurative language he uses is hilarious
I'm also not sure it's gonna reach him, but it reached a lot of people. Hope it all turns out well for you. You're gonna get through whatever it is a stronger person.
I find the sound of the chess pieces moving soothing ...please include them even if its at low volume
That would get annoying with how many variations and how fast they are shown.
Sorry, personally I prefer not
I like them too. Keeps me engaged for some reason.
Agreed. I’m a fan. I constantly turn my ringer on when playing on my phone just so I can hear them
It's incredible how Magnus become a chrono trigger character in the first 2 minutes of this video
"Two dudes, no bishops" idk why, but that was hilarious
“Two dudes and one bishop. I can’t say the other thing” best quote ever
i dont know why but i 100% thought that this video was gonna be magnus crushing people with 1.f3 for some reason
The piece sound is satisfying to me.
Hearing the plop is like popping a bubble wrapper.
The check and checkmate sounds are probably the most satisfying ones
Same
Bishop staring at each other, hydrolic press just to name a few - You're hilarious Levy - best chess commentator ever!!
Everytime there is even just ONE move by Magnus I would have done the same I get so excited lol
I know right? I once played E4 and I was so happy.
I'm italian and spanish is way similar to our language, this summer me and my cousin used to hangout with a group of spanish guys and we used to speak with them in italian and they responded in spanish and we understood each other, eventually we learn a bit of spanish

@@Axiomatic75the roots is called Latin.
@@AnaCristinaG Exactly. As opposed to English which roots are Germanic
as soon as Magus was changed to Magnus, the eval bar went up - goes to show the power of the Magnus effect lmao
I’m mostly just impressed with how long the Bishops lasted in Game 6
It's actually accurate to say that Italian and Spanish sound similar. They're both Latin-rooted languages that share a lot in common with their root language.
So by root language, you mean Swede?
@@mark-ish
I see what you did there. XD
Levy’s commentary was fire this video
Magnus be like "Anybody can be World Champion, but only one person can reach 2900"
When I started playing chess Tigran Petrosian was World Champ. Been following chess as an armature since. Played the WY state chess championship 1983 open section (only official tournament I ever played) and took 3rd place outright. With all due respect to Capablanca, Kasparov, Karpov, Kramnik, Vici... but Magnus... whole other level. Magnus is the GOAT with honorable mentions to Morphy and Petrosian who were epic.
If Bobby fisher had kept at it he’d be considered the GOAT, sadly he went nuts
love wide range of references u make, ufc? press channel? football? just love it hahah im new to chess and it feels more welcoming i guess lol "i like this guy lets keep watching", rather than be super serious and talk pure chess at all times, the chess content is easy to follow along too, or at least feel like im following along lmao
Ah yes, in the first game - the very simple mate in 26
I love how quickly levy changed the title from ‘Magnus update ‘ to ‘Magnus did something horrible’…He is the god of click bait..😅
1:18 I think that the default piece sounds are satisfying idk why
your today commentary is really brilliant, you make chess look spectacular!
Letting us know Magnus stomped another GM isn't exactly breaking news.
The amount of times Levy changes his video title is just-
Is just-
@@shalang6375 “I hope Shalang watches my video”
Seeing Magus playing was awesome.
No one has milked Magnus Carlsen like Levy did
the "check" sounds has the same satisfaction as a call of duty hitmarker for me

“Two dudes, no bishops” is a brilliant move LOL

1:08 You know it's bad when you start off the game and the meter is already giving Magnus the advantage
Magus is definitely one of the most chess players ever.

Why would they?

Same. I like to play/analyse with sounds on but in a YT recap video they'd be wrong.
2 dudes no bishops - Levy
Idk why but the "computer is a scumbag " line never gets old to me 😂
levy pronounce salem and saleh was just hilarious
"Magus" is a germanized version of Mage. Fits I think ^^
i speak italian and 15:41 is correct i agree
Crazy to think Magnus still has 107 months to go in order to equal Garry Kasparov’s time as number 1.
That’s almost 9 more years
True but the eras are not really equivalent. Gary himself said that he thought it was impossible for anyone to dominate chess once engines came into picture. Magnus was still able to do that is just astounding.
@@kunalsingh4418 I didn't know nor think of this. Magnus is really something else
@hasslfoot The amount of data available allows to constantly find the best moves in new positions, etc.
@@hasslfoot Basically that for every idea that Carlsen comes up with in any of his games, an engine will instantly refute it with something stronger. Carlsen also end up being the most analyzed player ever. All of his moves, all of his repertoires, openings, strengths or weaknesses are all analyzed by the far superior engines and each and every gm studies and prepares for all of them. It thus makes it much more difficult to maintain supremacy in this era where not only information is so freely available but also everyone has a personal teacher who is way stronger than even the world champion which constantly shows them all the faults in his play and how to beat him.

@@kunalsingh4418 Yeah but Gary dominated without engines, he learned chess without engines, that's harder.
Levy stop it. We all already know Magnus is Stockfish's sibling.
Imagine how Magnus should be laughing during this match if he was not the dignified future former world champion.
Levy getting up at 20:07 for the chess to mma comparison is quality
As a Brazilian, I almost had a heart attack when you mentioned... erm... _that_ game. Yikes.

always incisive analysis at same time enjoyable! Thanks Levy!
