Thanks everyone!

This man truly has a legacy , he inspired so many people to play chess , he has taught so many people chess and devoted a lot of time for us to laugh and give us a distraction from the horrible stuff that happened this year. I think GothamChess really represents the saying that you should do what you love and i truly respect him for that. So thank you Gotham for making my year a whole lot better for me and other people.

Thanks for everything Levy. I discovered your channel randomly a few months ago on a how to loss at chess video and it was so funny despite not even knowing the rules, it made me try out the game. Ever since then, I've been completely obsessed with chess, it became a passion, a form of escapism, and I spent hundred of hours playing, learning, improving and watching your videos multiple times, seeing you upload makes me so excited. This newfound interest brings me a lot of joy and I can't thank you enough for all your hardworking. Happy New Year to you and all the community, and here's hoping 2022 will be an amazing year bringing you all peace, success and happiness!

My favorite chess moment of 2021 for me was finding your channel. Started at 500, got to 1150 in a year and I credit you largely to that milestone. I didn't know or understand anything about chess, but you brought a light to it and made it something I get an incredible amount of joy (and rage) from. Thanks Levy for all that you do, God bless you

When you covered game 6, it was the highlight of my year. It brought me to tears, just the extreme gamesmanship of Carlsen grinding out the win, along with your great story telling.

Thanks for the excellent content throughout 2021, and wish you the best for next year. My favourite chess moment of the year was probably the Ding vs Nakamura match in the SSC - what a battle!

Great year end recap! I subbed to this channel earlier this year, I believe before a million subs, and it's been so much fun to watch the recap from this year. Goodbye 2021, can't wait to get my chess news from here next year! Also thanks for all the content! I played the first 8 moves against an Englund Gambit yesterday after reviewing your video (after getting spanked by it several times)

All things considered, 2021 was actually a pretty good year. Happy New year everybody!

I really loved your tournament recaps. Happy new year!

Thanks a lot Levy! You and the rest of the chess community have really helped inspire many people, including myself, to learn and play chess. Happy new year!

Happy New Year’s Eve Levy!!! Thank you for all the work you do. Can’t wait for more chess next year!

the 'Wait vaat' in 4:44 cracked me up so bad especially with the Indian accent followed up by Hikaru laughing

4:58, Ian is so cute, never change!

Dolphin Shoals? Take my like.

Happy new year Levy!! I learned a lot with this channel. Thanks.

Great vid. Chess was rocking all year long and I loved every second of it. So glad I stumbled into this community back in 2017 and have gotten to enjoy the explosion of success since then.

I really liked the IM not a GM tournament. It showcased some really fun and still fantastic players in a fun tournament. The super GMs are great but they're a little stale sometimes it's so precise and stiff until you get one insane game

I can't believe that the "how does the knight move" didn't make it in ! Still an AMAZING video anyways 👍

Found your content because your IM not a GM match was recommended to me while being livestreamed and I've been following your channel quite intently ever since. Big ups man, here's to a great 2022

Thank you so much for everything this year Levy, Happy New Year to u and Lucy❤️

I started watching you this year, and I would like to say, I enjoy your content man, Keep it up and see you next year! #GMGothamChess

the best moment was Magnus saying: "I don't even remotely care"

Happy new year Levy. Great content! Cheers from Sweden

My favorite moment was every moment with you Levy! Happy new year

Magnus was the happiest I’ve ever seen someone after they just tried to rip their shirt off 🤣🤣🤣

Yes as others have commented - how did you miss Andrea’s question to Magnus - truly the best moment of the year! You should make a whole video on just that

Best moment of 2021 was me finding this channel and all the hours of laughs and learning that have followed. Thanks Levy!

Happy new years levy! My favourite chess clip is all ur vids everyday

I started playing chess this year in January as my New Years resolution. My goal was to make it to 1500 by the end of the year I made it from 356 to a peak of 1224. Im still very proud and happy to have seen how exciting this game could be. A lot if that is thanks in part to you Levy, being a fellow New Yorker your content made this journey so fun and funny. It convinced me to join my local club and I’ve made some real cool friends. Please keep it up in to the new year. You’re awesome!

You've worked your butt off to be where you are and regardless of where anybody stands you deserve a great deal of respect.

Wasn't really expecting a yt rewind let a alone a chess one. Really amazing Levy, u r a fucking legend. Great video, have great new year guys.

My favorite 'chess moment' of 2021: Hikaru's step-father saying how great his step-son's inspiration to others (to play chess) has been, greater than anyone else he knows! Moving.

At the beginning of this year, I was so excited for EVERYTHING that was going to come! As the time passed, It started to get normal or usual. Things started to lose their meaning. I remember back in feb I was so much happy about No Way Home. The entire Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield thing, I can't express it. I just hope that how 2021 went, 2022 should be a lot more different. Happy New Year! Fellow Gothamers.

Then first thing open the laptop and start working - stop and put on your newest context to calm me down. You are more then a chess channel. Congrats on a great year and can't wait for the next. Thank you.

What a wholesome video Great job levy! Keep making content

I love how he puts it.... Almost every chess player hates the game, we're just knda stuck in it! 4 months ago, I lost 23 bullet games in row on tilt. 11 days later, I had my biggest winning streak of 39 bullet games in a row, pushing me past 2050 for a brief time! And honestly this is what drives me. The urge to come back from a loss, or the urge to keep going when I'm winning.

It’s a great video and a great idea to make a chess rewind. To improve on it tho, I think you need more edits, maybe more music, and I think you should have a little intro explaining some of the clips before they play (daily dose of internet style) I look forward to the 2022 rewind good luck levy!

Thanks Levy for making a chess video allmost every day! I quit classical TV a while ago and now i am looking foreward for your videos which bring me a daily dose of enjoyment. Best wishes for 2022 :)
