It's me and levy. On a cancun beach as the sun is setting. My head is setting in his lap as he wiggle his toes in the sand. He's untangling my earbuds.
I'm loving this absolute mess of a tournament- world champion in shambles, everyone complaining about their play even when they win, long tense games only to be followed by custom lichess ruleset matches, what a dumpster fire
remember towards the end of the world champ he straight up froze w 5 mins left on the clock in a winning position. thats when i first realized he may have some issues when the pressures on. being champ didnt help
@@bashy8466 i remember that, interesting assumption, its not the first time in a sport where the champions pressure acts against himself, thinking u should win to prove u are still the champion but then people saying its because magnus didnt participate giving you more pressure to prove it in this tournament
Maybe if it was vs anyone else, but gukesh is not the same as Carlsen or caruana etc. Ding has record of like +2=6 vs gukesh, and the last win was in tata 2024(first win in tata 2023). That was during dings slump already in 2024, but he still destroyed gukesh in convincing fashion. So based on history and matchup, ding would still be overwhelming favourite. Gukesh is still young and inexperience. Like 17, maybe 18 now only.
7:09 I think it would have been better if hikaru would have taken pawn on a7 If prag plays the only moves hikaru will be up another pawn Simply a knight and also advantageous queen trade Leading to a winning end game If not he wins a rook in addition to the a7 pawn and will be up a knight and a rook I didn't use the engine so i might be wrong
Congratulations for 5 million subscribers. Your lessons are real valuable and foundation of knowledge for beginners, rookie, intermediate and advance players. Thank you so much!!
@GothamChess I love when you take the eval bar away like in the hikaru v. pragg game! Please consider doing that more. I loved when it used to always be like that. Makes the games much more interesting when we don't have a computer evaluating the situation for us. Keep up the good work, Levy!
1st game between Lei Tingjie and Ju Wenjun around 10:00 where Lei repeats moves in a great position. Similar happened in their WC match which I think Lei threw. Don't know why, but that's how it looked to me.
Levi. Got a suggestion for you: Can you score an interview with Ding please. Pay him whatever he asks and find out what the Helllll is wrong with him? He looks like a player who is about to retire from life, not just chess. The guy needs to get a girlfriend and some serious R&R!
I told you how I feel so I'll tell you some more to know persistence and I know you went into the knight bird for the reason again of yourself and even to prove to yourself and you are closer to something more than you know that is a taken path that leads higher and persistence will only lead you to what I already know❤😊
This is MUCH better than yesterday's SPOILER title I try to avoid the results before I get a chance to watch and having Prags win spoilt was really annoying.

Thanks
The real MVP
For future reference the title is:
MAGNUS???? HIKARU?????
Why do people comment this? I’m genuinely wondering cause I’ve seen it on so many videos
@@Hello_mybro brainrot
It's a troll I started on accident. my bad. Lol
@@Hello_mybro The titles get changed: for example, the current title is "HE BEAT HIM!!! HE BEAT HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
@Hello_mybro it’s cuz Gotham is stupid and changes the title like 10 times before he keeps one. He’s already changed this vids title in 6 minutes
Levy, If you Go bald, You will look 89% accurate to Walter White 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
now i cant unsee it ☠ t4t
You mean 99.1%?
Waltuh
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Danger? No, Skyler I am the danger. I am the one who checkmates!"
Seems like Levy has miserably failed no Magnus May.
when will pag reach his peak elo u think?
@@scottwarren4998 maybe 2790 at 25
@@Barsam-ul2yr so he will never each some 2880 elo in classical?
Yes probably because he’s insanely good but I doubt in the next 5 or so years
@@scottwarren4998 well have to see btw who you think is better guekesh or prag
Gotham: "MAGNUS???? HIKARU?????"
Me: "Uh uh uh TRUE!"
Damn, gotham really changed the title in 14 mins ahahah
Levi never fails to add more exclamation marks in his titles !!!!!!
WOOO!!!!!!!!!!
The !!!!!! gambit!
i think it should be more
Levy is the type of person to be constipated for 3 days and not tell anyone
i once went 6 days without shitting
why would anyone tell anyone that they have been constipated for 3 days? haha unless its a doctor ofc
What does that even mean 😭😭
oddly enough I don't really talk about my bowel movements with most people.
@@jeremiahmorrow6673 weirdo

Then he suddenly tries to whisper in your ear and screams "THE ROOOOOOOOKKKK" and you wake up
@@shashankshekhar6952Lol
what in the world
Magnus: I'm gonna draw
Wins
Such a Mangus thing to do: squeeze the opponent in an end game and get the win GOAT.
Mangus is indeed the goat.
Nepo must cry himself to sleep each night seeing what’s happened to Ding.
I'm loving this absolute mess of a tournament- world champion in shambles, everyone complaining about their play even when they win, long tense games only to be followed by custom lichess ruleset matches, what a dumpster fire
It’s been good entertainment 😅 it’s fun
This isn't what I expected from this tournament, but magnus eating for 15 minutes during a game is better than what I expected
@@wesleyb1458its bot acc bruh
Migm$'!,+, s zdcf
Odd take.
pragg realized he was lost in the confessional while talking about the variation 😢
can non norwegian see confessions?
@@yogarolf wym? sometimes there are ads at that moment but im pretty sure anyone watching the stream can see them
This format should be in more tournaments. Stops tournaments from being drawfests in which the player which gets two wins gets 1st
Sure replace drawfests with blunderfests. I'll better watch darts
@@dmitripogosian5084 I guess chess between the best in the world is too low level for the great Dmitri
@@dmitripogosian5084you don't even know how to play chess lol
Ding is cooked for the championship, he has the yips

Aussie?

Magnus: breathes
Gotham: i’m gonna milk you
9:30
"This is also really nice, I should've bought a second one"
The drink: 3 oz for most likely 4.99
What is he drinking
@@mythroxz18liquid cheese
What's the drink lol
WHAT'S THE DRINK!!!!!!!!!!??
I like watching without the evaluation bar, it really shows how accurate they need to be to convert their advantage
This was a NASTY CLICK BAIT !!!!
Isn’t as simple as ding losing motivation because he reached his end goal? I can relate to that a lot
Magnus is back in classical by beating Fabi in classical chess 🎉🎉🎉
7:09 I think it would have been better if hikaru would have taken pawn on a7
If prag plays the only moves hikaru will be up another pawn
Simply a knight and also advantageous queen trade
Leading to a winning end game
If not he wins a rook in addition to the a7 pawn and will be up a knight and a rook
I didn't use the engine so i might be wrong
Feels good to share your chess records with the world champion!
Hikaru missed an earlier win that Alireza spotted in 0.2 seconds
Like what
yeah he spotted Rg5 on the stream
@@N0Xa880iUL Rg5, utilising the pinned pawn to create a double attack with the rook
Doesn't matter, got the W anyway
That's what happens when you actually play a stressful match and not just spectate it. Basic stuff.
Levi looks like no matter how hard he tries, he still smells at least a little bit.
Fabi just wants to trade queens, poor guy
3:09 i am impressed by your opening knowledge
That signature magnus endgame was beautiful. No such thing as a fortress
Sad about Ding because he probably prepared something for down the line, but did not get there because of mixed move order
Congratulations for 5 million subscribers. Your lessons are real valuable and foundation of knowledge for beginners, rookie, intermediate and advance players. Thank you so much!!
I was fr just staring at a wall for the last 30m waiting for this upload
You could've done your homework darling...
@@NichtWunderkindWho has homework in May
@@typical9627me
I hope ding bounces back soon... In life & in chess both 🥺🥺🥺
Levy never fails to tell his viewers to do something different "just for this one video."
Carslen played the perfect game. Fabiono played almost perfect game. It practicly was enough for angry El Magneto.
This is a title Levy came up with while playing a game of chess against himself.
I'll never get over levy just staring at the start of every video
I love the tournament format. Its a reinvention of chess in itself, because it forces a different approach to every round than just drawing mindlessly
Bro casually reignited my love for chess😂
Levy has convinced me enough I'm staying all through today
"Do not self pin" Unless you're Ding Liren in the WCC last rapid game. Good rule of thumb tho.
Self-Pinning for Immortality
Levy’s the kinda guy who has a box with a note for the Amazon guy
Pragg counters Magnus counters Hikaru counters Pragg (endless cycle)
6:03 if anyone is wondering if hikaru missed a triple knight fork, he didnt, because black rook can go e2 check, queen takes, enemy queen takes back.
Haters appears when magnus want to enjoy the game, but they disappear when he become serious
Levy's gonna hit 5M subscribers before Norway Chess ends
Hikaru and the confessional booth are like peanut butter & jam
At this point, Gotham can upload anything and I'll watch
This happened to me maybe 3 years ago
Why is story of Hikaru calling Prag Bozo so funny to me xD
levy never fails to drink drugs when explaining a position
Probably the best Classical format I've seen. The Armageddon format makes every round super exciting!
"Alireza was the youngest person ever to become 28"... "hundred"
I’m pretty sure hikaru knew his position was winning
@GothamChess I love when you take the eval bar away like in the hikaru v. pragg game! Please consider doing that more. I loved when it used to always be like that. Makes the games much more interesting when we don't have a computer evaluating the situation for us. Keep up the good work, Levy!
Magnus lost to Pragg and decided to lock in
I don't think Ding wants to play chess anymore
“He beat him”
But never
“She beat her” 😔
how about he beat her ?
How about x beat y.
Nowadays people are mad about grammar for he
They beat them 💀
"Vaishali plays this game with a 99% accuracy"
Kramnik is triggered
Vaishali will report herself, this cant be me. 🤐
Hydrogen Nitrogen finally beats Magnesium Calcium
I'm surprised he beat him! I was so sure him would beat he!
knowing that you are ON THE ROAD makes the rapid fire amazing.
if one is confused, keep rewinding and keep listening
he infuriated me
when he said "have a little patience"
10:13 sounds really bad out of context 😂
We want Magnus and levy collaboration for 5million.
I love Ding, but man he's making it look like the world championship is already a wrap. Hoping he'll be able to put up a fight
3:38 homie u muted the sound of the pieces 2 years ago xD
gotham: knights are tricky
pia: ... yep
how hard can you bait?
Gotham : Yes
Totally thought that “Normal game” = draw in Classical. Glad to see so many classical victories today!
Hikaru stated in his own video that his prep ended after about an hour of play lol
These games must be the most painful to lose.
Very impressed of Levy's opening knowledge
1st game between Lei Tingjie and Ju Wenjun around 10:00 where Lei repeats moves in a great position. Similar happened in their WC match which I think Lei threw. Don't know why, but that's how it looked to me.
I can't wait for the video to be something like, "This guy beat another guy that's neither Magnus nor Hikaru"
How does the scoring system work in this as there is Armageddon?
3/0 for classical win, 1.5/1 for Armageddon win
@@hihey229 yep, just wanna add 0 for classical lose, 1 for armageddon lose
Even though pragg was in a losing position throughout the game, he gave hikaru a tough fight.
18:00 Levy spitting facts for some reason
levy knows no one knows what he beat him means.
9:52 yep levy we all did...
I physically cant accept that 2016-2020 and 2020-2024 are same span of years😶😶😶😶
Who beat who? It doesn’t say in the title! Now I have to click the video and watch all of…. Ohhhhh I get it now…
Alireza just Destroying with London 🔥🔥
Nice title. Reminds me of a ProZD skit.
"YOU WONT BELIEVE actor joins film!"

I rly love when you make us think the game is over then you fake us out. That's awesome.

Ahhh yes.....freshly milked magnus
Levy never fails to milk magnus
Ding probably playing the long mind game with gukesh like ryan garcia
Gotham make so many Magnus videos that he beats him one day.
This is MUCH better than yesterday's SPOILER title
I try to avoid the results before I get a chance to watch and having Prags win spoilt was really annoying.
Kramnik never accuses Levy of cheating
Ding is doing Zhuge Liang's art of war in TRoT :v
18:06 wowowo calm down, me personally, I’ve never lost against somebody over 2750 so there’s that
Congratulations Here's 5M🎉
I know little about chess, but Bishop D2 looks like the move. You develop. You prevent your pawn structure from being debilitated.
Magnus is a static face in every thumbnail 😂
Time has seemed to be scattered for the last 5 years
It took Levy 9 seconds to mention Magnus Carlsen in this video.
Look at this structure, ja?
Gotham german in disguise
His rating looks like a Boeing jet and that’s not the best thing jn the world🤣🤣🤣
Just hide the eval bar I can't even believe how much fun I had in Hikaru vs pragg match
