The whole “don’t play like this” part of the prag game reminds me of coaching basketball during the year curry won his first MVP and having to explain to a bunch of kids that they cant shoot from half court 😂
Yep or watching Mahomes throw underhand passes 10 yards downfield. "Kids until you win a pro league MVP, don't play like them."
@@12jswilson lol right
Can’t *
Just for fun Levy, show your retention in your next video so we can see how many people actually skip to the magnus game.
hi ZigZag! didn't know you also liked chess. I know you from the btd community :)
Replying because I just scrubbed from the early minutes to the magnus game, because Levy just talks too damn much about nada, like has happened to Finegold also.
@@styleisaweapon lol, the Magnus game sucked and the other 3 were great, your bad you missed the good games
@@BPH29 Youre the same dude who would accuse him of the opposite if he did. Its chess bro its not that serious lmao
@@BPH29 Nah I've seen you all over the chess channels all you do is make negative comments. Every single one of your latest comments are against Levy. You're literally just a hater.
Magnus: wants to get to 2900
Also Magnus: hehe unfavourable gambit time
Now we get to see the "Carlsen" Gambit.
Lol Nice
Magnus Gambit sounds way cooler tho
Magnesium carbonate gambit
Magnet carbon gambit.
Carlos Magnusson Gambit
Me: *skips for Magnus game*
Levy: *Does not yell at me*
Me: “That's sus..“
Was waiting for this, love the recaps
Yea, same.
Anish learns from his match against Carlsen that a queen is worth less than 3 pieces so a knight is worth less than 3 pawns
To put it simply, each of the 3 pieces can attack the enemy queen, and the queen can't trade with them (obviously)
Meanwhile, 3 pieces can have the same board control as a queen, if not more
Both are situational things. Generally though 3 pieces will beat a queen. Whether a knight or 3 pawns are stronger depends on the position. There are positions where 1 pawn beat a knight even. Strong players know when the relative value of pieces goes up and down.
That Giri game was incredible, really instructive.
Thanks for all the recaps Levy. A friend of a friend passed away from covid recently, and it's been hard on me. Having something nice to watch through this has been undeniably helpful.
Rest in peace bro🙏
hope you're doing well man
RIP sorry for your loss
@@dogwaterman he didn’t die
@@petrilampilahti5176 stfu. Despite the low mortality rate from this new variant, it still kills some people, and they have friends. Have compassion
It's not only his score that looks good. Erigaisi is, after round 8, on a performance rating of 2898. That's almost 200 points higher than the next player.
yeah but his performance rating literally is his score
@@camden666 While performance and score are connected, they are not one thing.
its more than connected, performance rating is a direct result of your score. that's it. (against ratings of opponents ofc)
@@camden666 yeah but he could be 8/8 and only have played the worst players.
Someone is in a tournament of superGMs/2600s or w.e and has an insane score. Someone types: not only is his score insane, but his performance rating is too! Like no shit. that's all im saying. youtube audience is so braindead nah man
Carlsen plays experimental against strong GMs with black. And still manages to draw easily . He is really stupendous.
That is more due to Shanklin choosing not to go for the win. And each draw moves him further away from 2900
@@niffrig no he tried to win dummy your comment was just stupid Magnus is that good lmao smh
@levy, 25:50 to answer your question, Anish had more time on the clock than he started with by the time only rooks and knights remained. Few trades later he was at 1h33, and near the end he still had almost half an hour, but Esipenko only 8 minutes. Anish had an amazing prep for this game!
That Giri game really took me by surprise. One of the most interesting/entertaining games I've ever seen. Specifically the endgame.
This commentsry has opened up the world of professional chess to me. Because of your recaps I can appreciate how genius some of the tactics are and how insane some of the openings are
5:19 honestly, pinning the knight looks very natural to me though! And the position looks like a chess com puzzle actually.
That Vidit match was absolutely amazing. "Thesis statement" is definitely the correct way to describe that play
Good thing about being from Brazil (GMT-3): I'm watching this on my way to sleep, at 1am, as I usually do - so I don't even notice delays. :) thanks for the material, as always.
Vidit is playing very interestingly in this tournament. I'm cheering for him (and JVF for his creative ideas in the opening).
Idk about jorden van Forrest winning but vidit definitely has a slight chance to win the tourney , would probably be the surprise of the event
@@divyanshsinghwal579 5 days make so much diff
Vidit is playing some AWESOME games during this tournament!!!
I think he is going to seek the top players position very soon.
If any other indian has chance to get even close to vishwanath anands legacy it's probably vidit
@@ranjanasharan4051 Hari and vidit are relatively equal level. Also Arjun nihal and prag themselves look like they have some stuff.
@@ranjanasharan4051 We've got some great youngsters who are going to improve rapidly
@@ranjanasharan4051 I think on terms of legacy Pragg has a big potential due to his potential skill compared to his already monumental accomplishments
@@raphaelpalmeira4472 are u kidding me pragg has failed to impress anyone after the lockdown whether it would be his classical tournaments or the Olympiad or this tata steel , the only thing worth noting of is that he drew against anish giri when anish was out of form but now that he has regained his form , he is 3 Rd in the rankings of the tourney, before lockdown praggs rating was around 2600 and it still is there has been no improvement by him whatsoever , unlike nihal and Arjun
I thought it was literally the Scarra gambit with the backstory being that he stumbled into it on stream then engines found a line after
What is the scarra gambit?
Edit: nvm, just got to the point in the video
@Fire Warning wtf
Taking a break from making garbage clickbait content I see.
@@ataberk3539 It’s a mocking/snide comment towards someone who’s seen as a very controversial figure in the pokemon community for various reasons, at least historically (since like before 2015). I generally stay out of it but there are plenty of videos/resources that can give you a better understanding of the situation if you want to know more.
@@DeltaZapdos thanks buddy
That opening in the Shak and Prag game was so weird, I was astounded when I first saw it, but I guess it worked out, just surprised to see such an odd opening choice by a super GM
Funny fact: Nickname of Mamedyarov in Russian is not Shak but Shah which means both a check and kind of a king.
24:02 probably the funniest gotham moment of all time
song and artist pls?
can u also explain the funny reference pls?
@@iscato74 Jar of heart is name of the song
25:23 "I'm still gonna mate you, I don't care" -Levy 2022, consent levy, it's important.
The prep you do for this vids, giving the backstory for the positions, its fantastic - thank you 🙏
I'm from Vietnam (gmt +7), and literally addicted to your recaps. For the first 7 rounds, games usually end on 2 or 3 in the morning, then your recaps came about an hour later which usually was 4-4.30. And only after watching your ~30mins recap (no i dont skip) that i could actually sleep. Today the games end earlier (around 1am), and i thought finally i could watch your recap around 2am and then sleep earlier. Watching it on my way to work anyway, you owe me a very good sleep Levy
Just kidding, thanks for all the recaps
Your English is superb for a non-native speaker.
@@skycaptain95 cause he lieing bro it's TH-cam come on
I was starting to get worried you didn't upload yet! I love watching your recaps by the end of the day
The KID against 3-Nbd2 from Vidit-Grandelius is actually in Gawain Jones KID part 2 course on Chessable
If I remember correctly, at 35:28 there was a line where instead of playing Qd6, Magnus could have gone for Qd5 that could have lead to advantage, or at least a complication with queens endgame with one extra pawn.
It would be nice to have a series eval guesser where you pick positions and try to guess the eval bar
I love the recaps! These are so good. The commenting and everything is perfect.
"Some sort of wild niche thesis statement by Vidit" LOL
Idk why but I absolutely LOVED whites position out of the opening. The pieces seemed so active and i like spatial dominance. Hard for a lower rated player to find a good move rhere
That first game of Vidit vs Nils was really interesting to watch.
It shows how important prep is - it looked like Vidit knew the line very well, while Nils wasn't as prepared for it, and got sort of bullied as a result.
I often think super-GMs are cyborgs capable of understanding every idea and seeing things from far out - but I think that game was a nice demonstration that knowing the prep better than your opponent (even against a 2700) is enough to get a winning position full of game-winning tactics.
I'm more used to seeing two 2700s who are well-prepared, and the game is won or lost by an obvious blunder or through having a better pawn structure in the endgame. ,
"Hi, my name is Vidit and I'm going to walk my king to b6 and what are you going to do about it"
Thanks, I would have never believed I would be watching 30+min chess youtube videos. Congratulations, that is all your doing Levy.
Great recaps, as always, thank you for the game reviews.
Levy I can’t lie, I love these recaps. Especially where you go off topic completely or start talking as the players “Take it, go on, because I have THIS!” Etc. Only chess TH-camr I watch, keep up the awesome work 🙏🏻
Arjun's tournament performance rating is 2898 after the 8th round, which is bonkers.
This is a foreshadowing for Magnus' next game, where he will play a bongcloud
18:27 as an italian, you said “gioco pianissimo” very well, i’m impressed
"Looks like Guess the ELO!" Gotta love a recap that starts with that line! Some weird stuff being played. Vidit, Shak and Anish looking good with Shankland stopping the rot against Magnus. Great recap! Thanks!
24:00 Christina Perri sang Jar of Hearts
wonderful coverage. thnx Levi
Props on the pronunciation of Wijk aan Zee.
Respect to Levy for being honest about the thumbnail strategy
I loved the giri vs esipenko game
haha I definitely did not think you were gonna quote Jar of Hearts but I appreciate you for doing it! Great song!
You bet I stayed up for this recap levy, you're videos are always such good quality and they've just become party of my daily routine 👍
Great games. Excellent game by vidit and anish yesterday. Although take care Levy. Love your recaps.
I did not think you would quote that song.
You should do a series where you have to play from a losing position. You can title it "Creating Counter-play" or something. In the low elo games you can just hang a piece for free, and then later maybe a piece for a pawn, then maybe a rook for a knight or bishop. and in the high elo games maybe just get into a bad position but one that still has life in it. You could just make custom games and start the game from the losing position. Anyway I just think it would be pretty informative and it plainly sounds like good content.
(I've commented this 24 times and I'll continue to do so until either Levy responds, or I see the series. Or maybe I'll give up who knows?)
Can't watch the full games so these are always great.
Very dry sore throat were my first symptoms, best of luck. I also thought I just wasn’t drinking enough water
I definitely did not expect you to sing Jar of Hearts
"36 minutes into it you're loving it" -- LOL! love these videos. Instructive and added humor. Good stuff man!
I totally was humming the jar of hearts song in my head before you started quoting the lyrics! :D
Woke up today excited to watch some gotham chess I won a really good game last night using a lot of theory and ideas from watching this channel. Thanks Levy!
I normally don't skip to magnus games but your title made do it.
I really appreciate you as a content creator and a chess player. It's so cool to see the growth of this channel that I found because of Netflix. I am nowhere near skilled enough to analyze games very well live and you have provided me a lot of lessons and happiness. Keep doing what your doing, strive to be you. Chess has become a big part of my life and you are in no small way a reason. I know you get some shitty comments, and I'm not an avid commenter, but I love you and your content and I want to make sure my favorite creators know how much they mean to me
Definitely do a video on the scarra gambit!
That first game was incredible.
I would love to see a Schara video
Your recaps are very very good and entertaining. Keep it going 👍
i waited for this man best part of the day is your recap
8:36 C4, damn that's an explosive move
24:01 I quoted the same thing, no I was not expecting you to do it, the singer is Cristina Perri
24:00 I knew you would sing jar of hearts😂😂
Great recap, that first game was great fun
I had a great Sunday Levy especially since ya uploading king! TY for content!
Keep up the great work Levy! thanks for the amazing recap!
24:12 it’s by Christina Perri, great song ❤️
Another recap thoroughly enjoyed, thank you mr Levy sir
Christina Perry (Jar of hearts) and I knew you were going to quote that song, who can say ‘who do you think you are’ without thinking about it. 24:05
I have to say since finding you I love to skip all the way to the Magnus game just to hear the scolding hahahaha. it makes me laugh but I do love all the content. Thank you so much and thank you for the courses
Man,this is the best tata steel recap
Crazy games
20:16 "Black has a raging initiative"
That's what she said...
24:00 very surprising quote indeed. Started singing the song on my head, then you started quoting it🤯
I will stay up all night if necessary for your recaps
OH MY GOSH THE JAR OF HEARTS REFERENCE SHOOKETH ME. Excellent recap
im surprised that magnus didnt play the Bongcloud Gambit, where he would sacrifices the King.
4:55 Couldn't it be that Vidit hadn't prepared this move but in the game calculated that this was the best move? Just because Levy thinks it's impossible to find this kind of move it doesn't mean these super GMs can't.
bro take a joke and learn what the word 'exaggeration' means
You have to take into account the time as well, we don't know how fast he played these moves.
It was preparation.
@@shivagarwal9378 How do you come to this conclusion?
(I'm not saying you're wrong, just courius how you could be so sure)
EDIT: Swedish auto correction was on, message looked absolutely ridiculous! 😁
@@joakimquensel597 If you look at the first 15 moves of the game, Vidit barely took any time. He played most moves in under 1 min. Also, in the post match interview, he said it was preparation.
Couldn't see it yesterday. Waited looooonh. Big fan ❤️
Always watching the recaps while eating at night so today I had to watch without eating. Felt weird. But happy to see the recap now. Love the videos keep it up🅿️
🅿️
🅿️
Awesome recap big fan of GothamChess
24:20 Jar of Heart - Christina Perri
magnus can gambit me any time 😳😳
Slide the rook into the open file?
@@minimalfunction9961 he will shock me so hard 😳😳😳
I'd like a scarrah gambit video . Seems interesting
After midnight as I kinda missed this video. Cheers levi to all the amazing videos as usual
Levy at 26:31 : I am a business man doing business
28:13 I don’t understand, it kinda is called the «von» (Hennig) Schara - gambit
Still waiting for those NBA recaps. Show your versatility, Levy
Did you specifically wait to release the chess video for after the rams/bucs game 😉
“Hi, my name is Vidit and I’m gonna walk my king into b6” is one of the best introductions I’ve ever seen
13:00 take back the night
31:15 nice commercial
I actually played a game where I could've beaten a rook with 3 connected passed pawns if I played like a computer. I got a close draw by 1 move.
Christina Perri sings “Jar of Hearts”. Such a great song.
Levy, your recaps give me a raging initiative
'black sacs a pawn for virtually nothing' - that's my kind of gambit
@GothamChess, Try to go back in time to 1931 in the Bled tournament and go through the game between Pirc and Alekhine. It started as a Queens gambit turns into the Tarrasch defence and eventually turned into the Schara-Hennigs gambit, a very nice game and guess who won?
Scarra Gambit is when you put 2 wards around the enemy botside tribush to get alot of control over the board
