After day 4 of the candidates I'm sure of three things: 1) Hikaru is shook. 2) Nepo is showing why he's won back to back candidates. 3) Pragg is fearless.
Nepo really hasn't looked imoressive...he's just gotten way up on time and his opponents throw the game away in time trouble. Nepo hasn't really done anything impressive yet
We all gotta agree to one thing. Levy is hands down the best narrator of these chess gameplays. There is something unique about the way he analyses the games which keeps us hooked throughout. Even his haters visit his channel and hop on the comment section to get his attention.
Appreciate the kind words. Plenty of memes in these comments but the truth is I absolutely love watching these elite tournaments and breaking them down for the viewers. It’s a major reason the channel has grown to nearly 5 million. Much love. ❤️

I hope Gukesh wins candidates. He's been playing really well, and if he won against Liren, he would be the first world chess champion under the age of 18
I think Nepo is just the king of candidates. Aint no one touching him. Maybe not even magnus. Idk why but it really feels terrifying watching him in candidates, after that astonishing dominance over the past 2 candidates tournaments.
@@Pasclesrmhis birthday is next month I think, so he will be 18 by that time. Still the chess world has never seen such a young classical champ. Future goat?
@@robinhoodwinker8621 Dings great play doesn't change the fact that the match was very back and forth with quite a few blunders on both sides. It doesn't change the fact that Nepo seems to have some sort of mental issue on the WC stage. It doesn't change my opinion that he shouldn't be the one to challenge Ding because he had his chance. It doesn't change my opinion that the WC format is in dire need of change.
no, its his playing style: he plays super fast and over the candidates he will face some players who will struggle with time and will take some wins. in the WC he faces The most elite opponent who is aware of his playing style. and then its nepo who is more prone to mistakes
I fell asleep watching this after the candidates, and got stuck in a dream limbo state where you and Hikaru kept exchanging bodies with each other, followed by me making the "Bro think he's Hikaru"-joke over and over again. It was absolutely horrifying. Thank you, Gotham.
Double majoring in comp sci and astronomy your videos are the only thing that helps me calm my mind at the end of the day. So thank you and keep up the vids haha
Nepo! Nepo! Man deserves to be world champ if he makes it out of candidates for third time in a row. Much more impressive to win round robin tournaments against the best consistently than a one v one match up. Which BTW Magnus agrees as I think of one his demands was for worlds to be a proper tournament.
Another perspective is that he already had two chances and failed worse than anyone ever failed before so perhaps someone else should get a shot. Of course, neither perspective has anything to do with real life. In real life whoever won the tournament is whoever deserves the chance.
@@c2c001 Those chances didnt just land on his lap , he earned each one fair and sqaure. He proved that he is the most determined and prepared player each time .
The fact that Ian was always firsts, after 32 games on candidates tournament, with the best players in the world in that moment is actually insane. Hope he'll get the chance for rematch against Ding, I believe he deserved it.
please keep in mind that positions have been reached A LOT more than you would think. They just haven't been recorded. hundreds of thousands of games are being played every single second of every single day.
Anyway he got slapped by Cagnus, bottled it to Ding, but now is the real chance, third times the charm, he couldn't possibly lose to Ding now right guys? Right guys?
i lost my high school chess tournaments in the final every year to my friend who is really good. after watching and learning from levy i can finally say i got my revenge and beat him 3-0 this weekend. hardly a triumph but revenge is revenge. thank you levy. keep inspiring.
@@GingeroFee we will reach round 11 with hikaru having 2 loses and 8 draws and you will be like : there is still 4 rounds i don't know why y'all rushing 🤓, buddy, you gotta assert dominance from the beginning , and hikaru is surely not doing it

What has Hikaru done in top level OTB chess recently? I feel like the last few tournaments I've seen that he's been in, the narrative has been "Hikaru is not having a great tournament." When do people start to recalibrate expectations?
@@wahbi79 Ding liren was on one loss and 7 draws going into round 9 of the last candidates and then proceeded to win the next 4 out of 6 games to finish sole second. Its never too late in the candidates.
In Gukesh Caruana Ra3 follows the linear development and initiave principles. Namely white doubles with Ra3 and Ra1 threatening to win the game with axb5. Against this play it is likely that black will need to play Rb8 and concede the A-file which the engine no doubt values for space.
You’re Great Levy Love the Intensity of your Recap you are definitely Original Great Style especially how you Broke that Nepo Vidit game down Much Thanks
21:10 Ra3 had two ideas - pushing c4 and taking back with the rook (after Rc3) so that the queen still guards a4, and rotating the rook over to f3 or g3 after the knights land on f5 and h4 to begin a king-side attack.
Thanks so much Levy for showing the woman’s games as well most other you tubers are just concentrating on the big boys so Happy to see Salimova come back with a Win after her loss to Praggs sister
*Levi after both players move their E pawns to the center:* Grass is a type of plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in places such as lawns and parks. Grass is usually the color/colour ‘green’. Grasses are monocotyledon herbaceous plants. The grasses include the "grass" of the family Poaceae. This family is also called Gramineae. The family also include some of the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae).[1] These three families are not closely related but all of them belong to clades in the order Poales. They are similar adaptations to a common life-style. The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, sprouted grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatching thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf, basket weaving and many others. Many grasses are short, but some grasses can grow very tall, such as Bamboo. Plants from the grass family can grow in many places and make grasslands, including areas which are very arid or cold. There are several other plants that look similar to grass and are referred to as such, but are not members of the grass family. These plants include rushes, reeds, papyrus and water chestnut. Seagrass is a monocot in the order Alismatales. Grasses are an important food for many animals, such as deer, buffalo, cattle, mice, grasshoppers, caterpillars and many other grazers. Unlike other plants, grasses grow from the bottom, so when animals eat grass they usually do not destroy the part that grows. This is a part of why the plants are successful. Without grass, soil may wash away into rivers (erosion). *THIS IS A JOKE dont shame of pin me* idc if i said it wrong either /\
Sir, you just summarized high level chess. Nepo shows up and then there is grass, grass, grass, grass, tiger, grass, grass grass and somebody gets eaten.

Thanks. I came here to make this comment.
Just pure lies. Only Nepo's game versus Vidit may be worthy of being called a banger. Levy just hyping.

That's a fair assessment. Considering his temperament got questioned after the Magnus Final, Ian has shown tremendous strength of character.
Vidit sticking his rook between all the pawns was quite the throw. And he used 3 turns to get it there!
It's insane that Nurgyul is a teenager with essentially the same OTB rating as Levy, and she's performing so well at the Candidates.

Not to downplay what Nurgyul is doing but in Open chess, the competition is significantly harder compared to Women's.
