Levy, I don’t know if you’re gonna see this comment or not but I sincerely want to thank you for all the chess knowledge and motivation you provide through your content, particularly your road to gm series. Watching all your success has inspired me to recently start playing chess again, and thanks to you I finally reached 2000 elo today. So on behalf of me and your entire community, thank you
2000!!!!! THATS CRAZY. I’m still 695 after like. 6 years of playing. I love this game to death but I just suck. Still play every day tho Edit: I GOT TO 840
I teared up when you said "I'm so happy. I really am." I've followed you for so long, and hearing that from you sounding so genuine just put me in such a good mood. Thank you for everything you provide us, and know you have all the support in the world to pursue your goals.

This man is trying to achieve something and people be talking shit about him. It genuinely makes me mad. You keep your head down and work levy. We love you
I was rooting for you to make it to GM when you announced your return to competitive chess and I thought there was a decent chance you could do it. Here we are, two tournaments in, and I am absoutely convinced that GM Levy is only a matter of time. Defending lost positions, overcoming tilt, finding ideas, getting out of your own head - it's coming together faster than I expected, and I doubt that Arturs' training has unlocked your ceiling yet. This is so, so fun to watch and I'll keep rooting for you until you get that GM title, Levy, which you will. Congrats on the tournament win!
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Grandmother, you get it? Because G and M also are letters from the word grand... Looooooooooooooooooooooooool, you understand? Grandmother also has the letters G and M in them. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😂 You understand? G and M can mean Grandmaster and grandmother, do you get it? What a creative joooooooooke, no one ever was so creative to make this joke, looooooooooool ahahahahahahahauauauahhahahahahahahahahahah 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😂😂
Congratulation buddy, happy for you, keep it up! Amazing what happens when your mental is in the right place, that way with everything in life. So happy you were able to let go of the anxiety and pressure and just play. Best of luck in the next one we are all cheering for you!
i’ve had your caro kann course for a year. i’ve played your recommendations from 600 elo and yesterday i got to 1800 rapid with a win in the caro kann. thank you
It's so cool to hear you'll come to Italy! I'll be playing in the same tournament, which is one of my absolute favorites. Besides the high level of the competition, there are the added bonuses of a festival with medieval reenactments and the delicious cuisine typical of northeastern Italy. It'll be great to have you playing in the same hall, I'll root for you big time! See you there Levy!
I feel like watching someone grow and try to chase the GM title is way more exciting content than anything. Thank you Levy and best of luck on your games!
Congratulations!!! I remember watching a dejected Levy a year ago and now I see a man willing to fight! Congratulations to you and your mental fortitude. It has become quite evident your preparation is driving your confidence and really showing the "luck" in chess is swaying your way. Good luck with your continued development :)
Congrats man! Time to up the competition it sounds like. Don't get nervous when you do, you can beat them all. You've got a good coach and you know your openings. Play for the win and get that GM!
Congrats for the win! Loving to know you're going to come to ITA !!! Waiting for your exciting game and your compelling stories that convey passion!!! I'm exited to know you may come close ! And looking forwart to follow you journey to GM. PS: you nailed our accent too!!!
"I've got weapons everywhere, /everywhere!/" I lolled. (You might say, your weapons have weapons!) Your enthusiasm is infectious. Keep going. Well done.
Hey!! Im really happy for you. I feel your excitment even as a much low rated player. A good tournament is always upliftign, maybe comming in contact of the fun part of the game and leaving out the stress is the way to go. Bravo! Cant wait to see you as happy in Italy, no matter the results
Congrats... Levy... Wish u luck to the road to GM... Your vedios on Caro-kann and london helped me rise from 800 to 1050 in 2months...Thank you so much.
Imagine being that miserable and meaningless that you constantly have to complain about video titles from someone who provides free chess content on a daily basis.
This was a tournament for IM norms though. Levy was one of the highest rated players there. Not saying he can't compete at the GM level, but it's gonna be hard.
Actually not, he didn't get any GM norm in this tournament ('cause it was an IM Tournament), and also, the championship level was nothing similar to a GM championship. Despite that, he has the knowlodgment and skills to become a GM someday
@@AdemirARC Not sure where you learned English, but knowlodgment is not a word. Do you know what the squiggly red thing is under the words you type? If you see it, it's not a word.
Levy please know that you have introduced me to the world of chess, I do not yet have the courage to play over the board but I have been following you for years. First time comment, I am rooting for you to keep climbing and achieving. I feel the day of GM Rozman is not only achievable but inevitable if you keep up the great work. Beautiful job on the tournament, one of many to come in this saga.
Thank you, Levy. It's always delightful to watch sincere and open-minded people going through their process of improvement at such a hard subject like chess. I might record my own road to GM in like 30 years in the future because you taught us it's never too late.
It’s a lot of fun watching these recaps, especially since I remember how beaten down you were 2 years ago. Getting inside the mind of a Master and seeing what it really takes to play at the top level is incredible. It’s insane how big the level difference really is. I hope you keep doing amazing and get that GM title. Your hard work is clearly paying off!
The difference in the level of analysis between pre-road-to-GM and now is very noticeable. I am noticing that I can no longer understand or guess the moves and sequences here, and the rationale for strengthening or weakening certain squares seems super nuanced and opaque to me now - clearly, 2500+ level analysis is beyond me. That moment when the eval bar emphatically agrees that one rook move weakening the e5 square or whatever and undermining the entire position... mindmelting. The leap in the level of commentary just over the last few months has been kind of astonishing to observe.
I have full faith that you will become a GM! I've been watching you and sharing you with my friends, and I'm certain that when you post the video "Im a GM!" we're all going to watch and celebrate with you.
Awesome rating climb after a very good performance in a tournament that also featured players that are equal or even slightly better maybe. That's good for morale. Slow and steady climb, that's the way. Great job, man!
I love how much action and energy you bring to chess and your videos are never ever boring. Shout out for making inroads to becoming a GM. Good job brother!!!
Congratulations on the well played tournament. As an outsider this tournament tells me that you are the ability of a GM. I hope this helps with your confidence so that you can finally get the title to go with your knowledge and ability. As a solid 1000 elo player i have enjoyed watching your content from the funny to the educational and i can’t way to see GM Rozman, you’ve definitely put in the work to get there.
This was a very impressive game. You needed to calculate like 10 moves ahead in like 5 variations, and you had to come up with new ideas and calculate like 10 more moves with 5 more variations after getting hit with moves you didn't see, and came out on top with a rook vs knight end game. My god man, you are getting razor sharp with these lines dude.
Well-deserved Levy! Been watching you for years and I'm so glad you've got your motivation back with these recent wins. Looking forward to your performance in the August tourney.
Levy is doing everything humanly possible to get a GM norm. He's inspirational. Everyone should comment with as much positive vibes as possible to keep him motivated. Go Leveeeeeeeee!!!
Huge shoutout to Levy, inspiring to see someone overcoming their past struggles and finally putting it all together. Always an open invite to Levy to come join the show. -MTC team

I may just be some sub-1000 rated player, but seeing Levy taking on the challenge to become GM has been fascinating for me. Seeing you battle your own head noise and so far coming out ahead is wonderful. Hope it continues.
I can’t even imagine how good it must feel to win. I have followed so many prior recaps and it’s always you losing rating or games etc. really proud of you
Levy is such a smart person. In every video he slides in some other sports highlights like wrestling few vids back now tennis so that the people who like these sports will also kind of align with him and maybe play more chess or like sub to his channel.
I’ve lived on Long Island for 20 years. I’m spending the month of August in Italy and bringing my kids there for the first time in a long time. If you can share where/when your tournament is going to be, I’d love for my 8 years old to see the reason her dad loves chess. She is starting her chess journey also and it’s all because of you.

First time Levy doesn't use GM on the title.

Does it mean he actually became one then? lol

so? does it matter?
He became a GM last video. Why would he put GM in the title again?
“Listen to me.” At 10:20 is so sincere. Thank you Levy for helping me get into and improve in a game that I thought would always be too smart for me.
