Levy got a full lesson for free from Hikaru. Rather than discussing moves and getting straight to the point for any of these games, Hikaru instead gave him insights and discussions behind the ideas and moves. They both did it like this as if they had all the time in the world. 🤣Pretty crazy if you've seen the other games and see how other pairs worked together. Everyone else pretty much did it the same way, but Hikaru did it like a coach and Levy was his student.

​@@ced3069No. Levy sure did. Levy was very hesitant and didn't really believe in himself. Hikaru assured him and gave him the freedom to make moves. Levy found them. Like I've commented in the other videos, Hikaru was like a hands on coach who shadowed over Levy.

@@TheLyingLeftif you look at the recaps of his own tournament is the past you clearly see how Levy’s biggest problem is confidence. I feel like Hikaru being such an insurance in the fact that he would point out obviously wrong moves gave Levy exactly what he’s been missing. Awesome to watch!

It's probably because the first parts are theory, and that Hikaru's better than it compared to Levy. But middle game is where Levy cam contribute the best I think.

Yes, the idea is just brilliant. Chess commentary is so boring (as is most sports commentary honestly) because most of the time there isn't much to say and the presenters are trying to fill dead air. Having Danya come in periodically to analyse the games is all the commentary we need, and hearing the players the rest of the time adds so much to the games.

I love how Sensei Danya comes in @ 9:26 "Hikaru and Levy trying to get the game out of theoretical waters, but in fact we ended up in a very well studied and popular line" lol

11:30 you can see Hikaru going “Wow! Wow.” And levy, “huh?!”

It was really good of Hikaru to encourage Levy to play his moves.

Jorden and Hansen had such good accuracy in their games it should be stated. Was such great chess by both teams

Gotham doesnt specify the character

in the coding community, there is a concept of "pair programming". it works best with one driver and one navigator - this is exactly how hikaru and levy operate. hikaru is making the decisions, but Levy makes the moves, suggetsions, and counterpoints. it is beautiful to watch

Hikaru: Go ahead and Caslte Levy: I know there is Knig- Hikaru: Just Castle, No no no, JUST CASLTE 😂😂

That was awesome. The Danya interjection was *chef's kiss* too

What a content. Can we have more like this? There's too much information about chess logic and tactics, I never met such an instructive videos packed into a pure intertainment.

This is quite possibly the best thumbnail image ever created!

This is beyond fascinating because you get to hear the thought process of both sides and since there two people on each time you het tk hear more in-depth explanations and communication than if it was just one person on their YT channel explaining it to a camera which both of them have. So this is very special and an underused learning tool. More of these!

they really made Levy Robin. Nah bro 😭💀

Hikaru sneering when Levy says he's making a comeback: what a friend.

Such an insanee matchup, intense, exactly what I needed recovering from a brain injury
