I really appreciate this format in which you commentate and analyze a single, top-level game in great depth. I'd like to see you continue on with this style of entertaining, educational content. Much love Levy. ❤
For me this kind of content from Gotham stands head and shoulders above his other content. I would like to see a historic deepdive of Mikhail Tal games.
Lol when you said, "What if they knocked down your legos and just vanished so you couldn't even do anything to them?" I immediately thought of creepers in minecraft.
Because he is knowledgeable of the game and has good storytelling aspects to make it more entertaining. Overall good effort put into the right places makes good content
Over 4M subscribers, meaning a likely revenue stream of close to $1M a year, and potentially up to $2M a year, will do that. Not hating just admiring. Maybe a little envy too.
@@raylopez99 what do you even mean by this? Subscribers don't give revenue, views, timespan, clicks, do. He's getting the views he's getting because he's a good entertainer who knows how to keep the audience engaged. He explains every move with the most clarity and makes everybody understand what many people would not.
I definitely prefer deeper looks into single games rather than a recap of a dense round. Gives more breathing room for story telling! The history of an event/players/positions, analysis of alternate moves, explanation of why exactly something is good/bad, etc!
Back in 2021 Magnus sacrificed his queen to get 3 pieces when playing against Anish Giri and coordinated them very well. Maybe he was worried his opponent here would be able to do the same and his queen wouldn’t be enough.
Keyser is Germany best player and top 10 players Junior in the World BUT. MAGNUS IS MAGNUS and gave Him a lesson , Magnus lost to Him once and that s it !!!
Pushing that a pawn far up to restrict and trap black's pieces is a theme I saw repeated a lot in alpha zero's games. So cool to see Magnus using the same idea to get the upper hand!
True on the billionaire point. The ones who create jobs are the consumers who drive demand and the laborers who produce to meet the demand, not the executives that clear-cut employee benefits to produce record short-term profits for shareholders and insider options traders.
One of your best videos in a while, keep it up. Love when people do what their channels were founded on and focus on appeasing their core audience rather than on what the masses like and what fads draw short term inconsistent views.
I’m 28 turning 29 next month. Started playing chess at the local club to be sociable instead of spending every day alone in my office programming / building my company. Now I’m in it to win. I wish I could see the board in these videos but I’m partially sighted, so can’t spot moves that aren’t pointed out. Do you do private lessons? Obviously I’ll pay. Don’t need to say you’re an incredible player and I’ve learnt tons from your videos already, and I’m going to get your courses. So long as I can mirror the moves on my physical tactile chess set, easy if they’re called out or if someone is on the other side of the board, I can easily learn. The club has multiple folks rated around 2000 or higher in their 70s and above. I don’t think I’ll be able to match Magnus Carlson given what you said about age, but I want to try. I’ve pulled off less crazy things before. Thanks for all the great content :)
As a non-chess player, this is bamboozling (at first) and also completely fascinating. Worth watching just to see your passion and knowledge for the game.
dont want to hate, but someone like you ( or me in fact, im a low elo player aswell) finding a move doenst really mean anything. because we dont understand what the move actually does.
My Coach Said " It's okay to loose some times but it's not okay to loose when you're Pieces are not developed This is What happens when You Don't follow Simple Chess Principles
"Younger generation" speaking of the OLD Magnus Carlsen, age 32, an age when Bobby Fischer was still Champion, when Karpov was in his best years, when Kasparov was at his peak.... Magnus to hand over the reign; Only if he gets bored.
The move NxF5 is CRAZYYYY!!!! And it took only 5 mins for Magnus to calculate all that!!! WTF I would not even in 50years find that move... This is so CRAZYYYY
The move is just Nf5, not Nxf5. There is nothing to take on that square. And that makes it even more impressive because captures are easier to calculate.
Nf5 is a thematic sacrifice in the Najdorf (and similar structures), so Magnus being aware of the possibility is unsurprising. Calculating and evaluating the resulting positions is what makes him the best.
Its interesting the questions/pause the video moments you ask, 16:30 or f4. I'm not a sicilian player, peaked 3/2 at 1700 now around 1600 and literally f4 was the ONLY move I saw. I'm interested in seeing what candidate moves lower rated players think of (like beginning of chess competency beginners) and then also the though process of higher rated players/see if they even considered other moves. Its a fascinating concept
I really appreciate the removal of brightness change for hypothetical moves. Thank you so much. Hate to harp on about the same thing on 5-6 separate videos, but that was the only blemish for what was otherwise absolutely perfect and interesting content for me. Thanks for the amazing content Levy!
You are an amazing ambassador for chess. Take it from a random nobody who doesn't even play it. Despite this, you bring out an appreciation for this game that I didn't even know I had. 4m+ subcribers is only the beginning. Keep at it, you will bring chess to the world.
I'm more suprised someone would watch this entire thing and not play some chess at least for fun. Though I guess it's not that unusual many non pilots will watch a video on how to start a 737 or program the flight management computer but the vast majority ot them wilm at least fly in the sim. And a chess app is more accesible than being handed a 100 million dollar jet.
Damn, you're awesome Levi. I'm sure no one could, with such indescribable precision in every detail, turn chess from a boring sport into a source of adrenaline.
When Levi explains: "He goes a6, takes, masterfully moves bishop D5!!!, then brutally checkmates." When Magnus explains: "Ahhh I just knew i had the position. It was just easy, honestly."
at 7:03, wouldn't it be better for Qb6 , since it attacks the rook, and knight, along with further attacking the bishops? I'm no GM, so I could be mistaken.
The video reminds me of the first ones you made, sir. Just one game, putting the key movements in context based on the time available, showing the long-term strategy of what you are looking for with the secondary opening lines. Truly a wonderful video, congratulations. My bet is on 5M subs, before the northern spring equinox, just saying ;) The sky is the limit.
After I watched that game in your channel I played a rapid game 1 brilliant 2 great moves folling up the brilliant but missed the mate but delivered it later in 909

Honestly, just being alive during the same time as Magnus is an honor.
Most chess players: Arrive on time to maximize their clock
Magnus, texting the tournament while on the can at his house: "omw"
Congrats to Magnus for getting revenge from a German, really made his ancestors proud

At 12:14 why can’t black take pawn with bishop? Pawn is not defended and it would protect the knight and allow blacks queen more spaces to escape.
How kind of Magnus to allow Levy to make some content
