Two International Masters, who didn’t quite reach Grandmaster level, found an incredible way to contribute to the chess world. Their passion for the game drove them to promote and popularize chess like no one else ever has. Their unwavering love for chess is what brought them to where they are today.

2002 moved outta NYC and unloaded last biz (storefront site) located EXACTLY where the ball 'drops'...to-a-tee. Needless to say enjoyed many memorable NYE per se, incl. with friends + fam. Sagar + Levy it would've been a blast to have hosted y'all. Hah. Kind regards and stay awesome, as the good souls you are. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Happy New Year! :)
the problem with gotham selling his products, is that a sale in europe or NA is worth way more than a sale in India. Unless he charges the same amount of dollars, of course, but then he wouldnt be able to sell it in india.
Why sell in India at all?? Vishy and all those faceless GMs put their heart and soul into creating world class ecosystem. No hate to Levy but Indians need to stop clout chasing foreigners.
Yup that's undoubtedly true but I doubt you'll get another Magnus level talent. And in some years Magnus will be done with chess and we'll have the youngsters competing
Great analysis, thank you! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
Gukesh became world chess champion at 18, Magnus at 18 had no chance of winning the world chess championship. He didn't even win candidates at that age. Magnus will never be as great as Gukesh.

Thanks for taking being a ambassador for chess Levy! Hikaru lost a bunch of respect on my end. He is a great player but a terrible person from what I have seen. A tiny tiran, as chess is quite a small game compared to many others. Sad some people are that selfish when the heat goes up a little..
Cool guy
In terms of body temperature, or?
Yeah idk about that
Comment from your real account Gotham Chess !
Drink Warm water and honey for your throat if u r unwell
Chill guy 😏

Beautiful way to put it.
So true my man
Very true , they introduced chess to the audience in a lovely way 😍♟️. Many players rekindled their love for chess too seeing their content 👏🎉
Nicely put

aaaa 2 of my favorite wholesome people in the chess world having such a sweet conversation. Now this is Christmas :D
So nice to see all big chess content creators collaborating. This is the best way to grow. ❤
Sagar interviewed the interviewer ☠️💀
Levy being afraid of samay is the most reasonable thing i have heard from him😂
Always great to see Levy and Sagar hanging out together ❤
hikaru vs gotham THE RECAP RACE BEGINS
Gotham will be faster as Hikaru is playing
Bro hikaru will intentionally draw for crazy thumbnail 😂😂😂😂
@@yashpanchal9247haha 😂
Levy is just a awesome person
0:00 start of a banger
21:49 end of a banger
Chessbase India makes me feel like every chess event is happening in front of my balcony. Thank you Sagar Shah and team for your efforts. ❤

In blitz Magnus, Hikaru, Alireza, MVL, Arjun, Nodirbek, Duda
Great interview. Levi is such a well known content creator. Great to hear from him on his home turf
2002 moved outta NYC and unloaded last biz (storefront site) located EXACTLY where the ball 'drops'...to-a-tee. Needless to say enjoyed many memorable NYE per se, incl. with friends + fam.

Good interview.
This was a perfect interview
I have been rooting for alireza for a long time. Wish he wins this one. atleast give me magnus vs alireza finalss..
Levy and sagar both great enthusiastic chess players meeting each other is special 😊
are you streaming world rapid and blitz????
no
17:22 hes 10% of the house hold income 😂😂😂
Lowball estimate
Arjun op❤
I liked the way Levy spoke "here"....
Lovely interview.
Nice meetup between those two huge chess channels Chessbase India + GothamChess. Lovely interview.
the problem with gotham selling his products, is that a sale in europe or NA is worth way more than a sale in India. Unless he charges the same amount of dollars, of course, but then he wouldnt be able to sell it in india.
Why sell in India at all??
Vishy and all those faceless GMs put their heart and soul into creating world class ecosystem.
No hate to Levy but Indians need to stop clout chasing foreigners.
Magnus is still the best among the youngsters too. Am sure he will bag both victories !!!
Yup that's undoubtedly true but I doubt you'll get another Magnus level talent.
And in some years Magnus will be done with chess and we'll have the youngsters competing
@@redeyexxx1841 i'm thinking Magnus might even outlast Kasparov - w.r.t the duration of play in chess...
We need a Levy fan meet if he comes here !! ❤🎉
Great talk, loved this 👏😍❤
When he becomes a GM I would donate a 💯 no cap and I haven't done one or don't really donate to content creators
In rapid 1. Magnus, Hikaru, Alireza, Arjun, Nodirbek
This^
Sounds reasonable
Arjun may outperform alireza
In rapid hikaru?Nah fabi is a bettercall
@@Nafim-kv6rg tell me you don't watch chess without telling me you don't
Why levi always seems to be kidnapped ...btw love u sagar and levy
Levy you need to bulk up. Once you start bench pressing more than all the GMs you legally don't have to listen to their analysis.
Thats gonne be hard cuz this dude Mark Heimann just became GM recently
@@Zwellop I just looked him up, and I’m pretty sure Maurice Ashley is still the GM who can bench press the most.
I think that's James Canty's philosophy.
When does the event start ist?
Starts 7pm GMT so convert it
Great analysis, thank you! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
Gentle man
I thought it would be backward walk interview
Gukesh became world chess champion at 18, Magnus at 18 had no chance of winning the world chess championship. He didn't even win candidates at that age. Magnus will never be as great as Gukesh.
There is a actually no need for this, just look at what u typed
Baat ye Hai ki magnus is better at 18 than gukesh it is fact

It's bait lol calm down
I have a feeling Wei Yi is gonna go on a good run for the rapid.
Thumbnail mistake levi nhi levy
I was thinking about gotham opening for samay yesterday
Abdu for the Gold
Even our boys ought to win gold, but as you can see, there is still Magnus in the way who is everyone's objective.
@kaushikhegde8227 of course the Overdog
17:10 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why does the thumbnail say LEVI?
Pragg will win rapid and arjun blitz. arjun will qualify for candidates. That's my dream scenario.
Exactly it sounds like a dream because I think Magnus will win at least one of the event
I am rooting for prag , nobody talks abt him these days forgetting he has defeated magnus .
Levy is dripped out
this levy guy looks like Gotham chess
is Vidit not playing?
Hi everyone❤
18:46
Love your video's
Levi in thumbnail
Don't worry about ruining the quality of India's Got Latent, it is already trash.
Candidates incoming. Erigaisi 😮💨
When the tournament will start
Tommo
Can you pls go live nd show around plss
I think Yi Wei might win
GTE with sagar shah and levy✅🤔
Why Vidit and Nihal not in the participants list?
Vidit is preparing for marriage while Nihal is busy breaking bullet rating record in lichess
Nihal had visa issues?
Bhai ye live nahi hota kya ????😅😅😅😅😅😅
levi rooozman
Bro thinks he is Levy Rozman
if levy rozman comes to india , bring him in delhi , mumbai is to far from delhi
Hello
Where we can watch live game ????😅😅😅😅😅
FIDE chess
Take take take
Hello
Russians with Fide flag and not the Russian falg I see.
Still banned federation
@Ploeppsel understood
❤
Go alireza
2 reasons to play chess.
Can't hear a damn thing
pin of shame
Why Levy look and talk like this?
Maybe it's a quiet venue and a weird time?
Very few people are interested to know where you live Levy. Please try to be humble.
Kidnapped again?
Noice
Now the role is reversed Levi, the coin flipped!! Magnus will be milking you from now on, good luck with munching on the right fodder😂
Thanks for taking being a ambassador for chess Levy!
Hikaru lost a bunch of respect on my end. He is a great player but a terrible person from what I have seen.
A tiny tiran, as chess is quite a small game compared to many others.
Sad some people are that selfish when the heat goes up a little..
Turns out, Magnus' true real rival was the entire FIDE organization itself. I know what side I'm taking in it.
