Bro, these games are fascinating. Honestly, agad does great work and I spend a lot of time on his channel watching recaps of random games, but Levi's recaps during this world championship get me excited for chess. Thanks for the content and the hard work. Watching these is literally the highlight of my day when I get home from work. Much respect, keep it up, gotham

As a 2000-2100 rated player, I think you’re doing an amazing job with the commentary. It’s full of information and insight in the positions that are hard to find elsewhere. I don’t have time to scour databases and listen to all the super GM commentaries. Keep up the good work!

Levy: "Sometimes people complain that my recaps feel rushed." Well, these are the best WCC recaps on all of KZread. I've stopped watching Agadmator since you started making these recaps because, well, I think this is much more entertaining, detailed and easy to understand.

I’m pretty happy with how this game went- it was intense and I think it was rather instructive how Magnus defended. But I’d be lying if I said that I wasn’t disappointed it ended in a draw. Each of these last games they’ve gotten so close to entering a more unbalanced and winnable position, but then they seem to just break the tension and they go into an calmer endgame. I really hope we get at least one game where that doesn’t happen.

Love these recaps, man. I don’t know why everyone gets mad at the draws. I view each game as like a quarter of a basketball or football game. Each day is a continuation from the previous game, not a separate entity.

you are doing an amazing job; I really appreciate you going through and showing someone like me who loves to watch these games but can't understand what is going on. You have made chess so enjoyable for me and I know I speak for others as well! Keep it up Levy you are the best.

I love these recaps!! I don't mind seeing draws between these two as you make it super exciting. Keep up the good work

Levy, whatever someone says we love your ability to breakdown such complex nuanced positions into something more digestible for the common guy as well as someone who is more advanced. You help us appreciate what these genius magic men come up with on the board. You are like that art professor who explains to the idiot kid that the Mona Lisa is not about how hot a woman can be. And hey, because of you being our art teaching, even draws are fun.

Thank you for doing all this for us Levy! As a 1400 rapid I really do learn a lot out of the videos. I started watching your channel before I knew anything about online chess, I only knew how the pieces moved from when I played as a kid. I watched your recaps of these monthly online tournaments this year as a 250 and absolutely loved them. I got so impressed and motivated by seeing these top level games. Keep it up!! Love your content.

You are really fast with these, and the quality doesn't suffer from it! Amazing job, and thanks for covering it! We love you as always, Levy!

Another great recap today! Also glad you called out the people that were saying these are stuff just for the 1200s :D, I actually made the same comment yesterday you did today, that I'm 1800 and I learn a shit-ton of stuff from these very nuanced positional analyses and variants of the Rui Lopez mid-games. It's also making me want to explore more this opening once more, and there's plenty of responses mirroring the World Championship matches, so there's plenty of chance to do that. Once again Gotham thank you so much for tha AMAZING contact man!!!

Thanks so much for doing these, I haven't had the time to watch the games myself so it's really nice to have these recaps. The people that are complaining about your videos don't know what they are talking about.

Already said this but.... It would be quite cool if you could spice up the board/piece design since it's a special event. Or even make the portaits bigger or something. Make it feel more "Grand" design-wise. That is just my take but as always I loved the review!

Cant agree more!

I have thoroughly been enjoying all your recaps with my 7 year old. I appreciate you keeping it PG rated and you going over the different lines and making it digestible for lower ranked players. You rock. Keep it coming pls!

First few minutes of the video has a "that's what she said" joke 🤣

I love the shade and I love your videos man, very educational, keep up the great work!

I propose that players every time they capture a piece they take shots according to the points of captured piece.

Dear Gotham. Thanks a million for the countless hours you spend making these recaps. Pure joy to watch. Learning every time. 👍

Keep up the good work, looking forward for these recaps, really valuable

You’re my favorite chess KZread streamer. I love chess so much and so I’ve been checking out lots of different commentary for these tournament matches. My effort only confirmed that you’re definitely my favorite source for this content. Thanks for what you’re doing, it really enhances my new love for chess. It genuinely means a lot to me 🙏

Hell yeah nothing like kicking back and watching another fantastic recap. Thank you levy!

Hi Levy, I just want to say I really appreciate these recaps. I dont always have time to watch the rounds start to finish, and even if I could, I would never have such a good understanding of the moves. These videoes really help me! Block out the haters, you’re doing an amazing job!

Loving the recaps Levy! I'm learning heaps from all your various types of content! Cheers

Appreciate all the time you are putting in to give us a better look at these positions in such detail regarding options/possibilities. I'm only a 1500/1600 level player but watching your content and taking its advice has helped me improve hundreds of rating points in a very short time, as well as put me on a path to improve several more moving on. Continuing to study and climb the ladder, so thank you again. Shout out to all the "low levels" who gain something and continue to improve their game.

21:00 armadillos roll up into a ball, but so do hedgehogs . The hedgehog is also a defensive pawn structure used by black. Excellent and timely commentary as usual, thank you .

Hats off, Levy! I've been impressed with how well researched you've been through the tournament. BTW, I typed "game 5" on the search bar to find this video. The algorithm knew what I meant.

Cheers mate for more solid content, just finished work and really enjoyed engaging in the intricacies of the position and your take/ideas as where they could take it.

the way you are explaining the in - depth lines at each position is just amazing

The theoretical level of these recaps is perfect, by the way. Good job, Levy

Clicked faster than finding smothered mate in puzzle rush

Love the duration! It is the perfect length to actually get through in a day. Also, a video on what you mean when you talk about a player's "team" could be cool. I have no idea what this dynamic looks like.

Great commentary bro. Would love some chess clocks on these guys, but w/e, still awesome. Thanks.

25:58 - theres always some people who cant appreciate the good work and effort others put into stuff. Levy doesnt need to do any of this. A lot of us appreciate this a lot. Thank you, Levy. Been loving these 👏👏👌.

We all really appreciate your in depth recaps and your effort that you put in these videos. Comments that say otherwise are just toxic. Keep up the amazing work 👍 see you at the next round!

Loving these recaps. Wonderful work, Levy

Great videos Levy . And your recaps are the only reason many even watch Chess recaps and not just read on it or pass on it . The ideas you discuss. The lines you show . The thoughts u share on the positions and et cetera makes 30 min videos feel like a bite piece for us indeed. Please do keep these Recaps going. Within reason of your own well being obviously lol but yea. Bum the haters levy and much love from Algeria Bravo mon frère !

The work you put into these recaps really do show, ignore the negativity, and keep doing your thing! Great Job!

I continue to love your recaps. Honestly, I wouldn't be paying attention to what is happening in the championship without your videos. Thanks for "rushed" videos that are aimed at low level players!

these recaps are amazing, i wait for and when you upload i am really happy. Sometimes you are very hype and it might come off as fake but i dont think thats the case. I really enjoy most of your videos, also about catering to low level players, i am like 1200 and i cant follow %30 of the vid so i think its really fine. I really dont have the time to watch the whole game, so you make an entertaining and informing 25 min video which is an amazing service. Thank you for doing what you are doing, I for one really enjoy your channel

As a 900 with all the gear and no idea, these recaps are so so helpful to understand the plans, history and intricacies of each move/position- you verbalise these in such an accessible way that just isn't possible from the Super GMs on stream. On rest days, Guess the Elo is a perfect balance as (rightly so) the WC matches are serious chess so the lax style complements it perfectly. Look forward to more WC recaps, more madness on Guess the Elo and most importantly: 🎶 Rook b1, rook b1

I am always excited to watch your videos, Levi!

Wow, you go through all commentaries to find out discussed ideas! Kudos to your dedication Levy, love watching the content, thanks

love the recaps thank you for everything you do levy!

This match was the one that I was the most nervous for Magnus. I'm glad he held the draw. Hopefully he can find a way to get Ian out of his prep somehow after the rest day. Going to be tough for either player to win the Classical games

@@IDGAG So if the match went to Ian or Magnus then the spoiler would have been fine? What are you saying haha no one was talking about being a win lose Andy

I like your words to the end, when you were saying we should praise Ian and not criticize Magnus! When credit is earned give it! And nice job with this Championship videos Levi, they are fascinating, I watched recently the video where you showed what Magnus does to "normal" or regular grandmasters, amazing what Nepo is doing. =)

Levi, your review of the game is so concise. I can't watch the live feed. Anish, Judith, etc. talk about positions in a commentary that I just can't follow. While 95% is still above my level, I enjoy your explanations and it helps me appreciate how deep these things go. Amazing. Your channel is really good

Thank you so much for these quick uploads, i'm new to chess and learning a ton

Magnus has been killing it. He has been shaking it up and knowingly taking alternate lines. He has been solid hell. People need to wake up who keep saying these draws are boring. It's like watching two shaolin masters fighting on a tightrope. How about actually appreciating the world championship of the sport / hobby that we all claim to love. When you watch an Olympic wrestling match, you don't expect every match to end in a pin. This is what happens when two of the top people go at it at something. How about before pooing on the championship that we have all been waiting on, we can build our community up and attempt to understand and appreciate the level of what we are experiencing. Get hype! These lines are sick!

Normal people don't understand the beauty of these games. Thats the sad part. Most of the people complaining are probably people who started chess because of Queens Gambit and general surge of chess popularity over covid. They are too caught up with the results and not the insanity of the moves, or the amazing plans the players come up with.

When a GM plays a move in 30mins: He is analysing thoroughly When I play a move in 3 mins in a ten min game: Learn to manage time you bozo

Well the difference there is more about the time control rather than a rating disparity. If a GM spent 3 min on one move in a rapid game, everyone would criticize their time control as well

love the recaps! Thanks!

Your recap is pure gold. Keep up the good work!

Ignore the haters homie, I know the basic rules of chess and the intricacies you show and explain I ducking love. So pleasing to watch even as a novice.

...what I wouldn't give to watch IM Levy Rozman give live coverage of the game at the venue. All expenses paid, with Lucy in tow.

Thanks for the updates! Great job compressing it down to 20-30 minutes. That’s why I keep coming back!
