Super GM: RATING 2800 BUT tells 2700 meanwhile normal players like me : rating 950 and telling 1000💀.

0:01 Hikaru looks into the camera with the look of "Oh, *you* again? Whaddya want *this* time?" 0:02 And it's an instantaneous transformation to fake smilery and a "Welcome back" that's about two octaves too high.

From competitive shooters, I've learned that playing against lower elo opponent for long periods of time does indeed build bad habits. You get away with more than you should and you unconsciously build habits that are not good for you.

These two guys saved my sanity during the pandemic. I had cabin fever and I rediscovered chess. Their successes, in each of their journeys, motivate and inspire me in my journey just to get to 1700-1800. Maybe in 5 years I can break 2000. Good luck to both of them.

Ай бұрын

to be clear, in order to get GM levy needs 1. to get 3 GM norms (which requires that he performs at a particular level in certain very specific tournaments). he currently has 0 norms. 2. achieve a FIDE rating of 2500, he's currently somewhere around 2350. im telling you this so you know that levy needs to compete at least 3 tournaments (this one didn't count, he couldn't have won a norm here) before he even has a chance of getting GM. so at least for the next few months its always going to be clickbait. levy is at or near GM level in terms of skill. but he's got quite a ways to go in terms of officially proving it. and im willing to bet when he does earn any norms, as well as when hits 2500, they'll likely be rather vocal about it.

Cant wait for levys recap on hikaru recapping levy

8:10 Hikaru has started to pay attention to what he's saying ever since Levy dropped his 5th round recap and was throwing shade at Hikaru at every opportunity.

@MrMarcec85

Ай бұрын

I think that he was a bit stressed... and yeah, probably having heard that piece of info from the "lie detector" video was not fun. Hikaru look at chess from the Top, it's like attending a Master at Harvard... that s also one of the reasons he is a sGM. And probably Levy should start to do this step in order to improve.

Bro at this point, with all that milking, hikaru has to start to upload those on adult websides😭😭

4:39 "levy built a BBC"😂😂😂😂😂

I find this reporting style by Hikaru interesting. The great thing about sports is you don't know how things will turn out until the game is played. Good for Levy for the win and good for Hikaru for his expert analysis and insights.

I love how Hikaru also does the thousand yard stare at the beginning of the video, just like Levy :D

"nournament torm" Yes, those are very important, indeed :D

His Caro-Kann course is on Chessly

Genuine words from one of the if not 1 of the greatest embassadors of chess. A real gentleman you are. You're a champion and hero to others.

true dat bruh

The best part of the whole video is the WELCOMEBACKEVERYONE! Edit~ I love Hikaru´s expressions hehe

Making videos like this one is the most efficient way to coach Levy. Maybe it's not very probable that Levy would make it to 2500 in the current chess climate. (2300-2400 rated players are a lot stronger than 20 years ago & there has been some rating deflation going on since 2017-2020-ish ) I just think since the dude is doing Chess full time and is clearly the best he had ever been, with this much help & enough persistence he may just make it. (and it would be a story for the ages)

The vid I watched yesterday and today both featured Levy wielding a BBC. Rooting for ya Levy! Love ya! But I'd rather watch your games commentated by Hikaru bc I love the way he talks about your BBC. xD

Now I know where Levy gets his video titles from.

Hikaru never fails to mention Big Black Centers

Ty hikaru for showing us this game, enjoyed the video!

Hikaru uploads these games so fast like he is playing the games himself

4:40 that BIG BLACK Center is MASSIVE

Amazing quick analysis

Bro your t shirt is awesome your looking good in it ❤

TODAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYSSSSSSSS VIDEOOOOOOOOOOO!~

He adopted the titles

11:47 white: "no, you can't checkmate me, I declare resignation"

".. we get the classic lobster pincer checkmate" : 11:44 🤣🤣

I think Hikaru can see into the future and makes these videos before Levy finishes his game.

@user-oq5dr1hb7g

Ай бұрын

He pre-moved it a little too soon tho

Hikaru's 10th video in a row, in the past week, about Levy with his name in the title. Major back of the restaurant - sit down- handshake vibes after the lie detector video came out. I think they came up with a resolution where Hikaru doesn't have to go on a permanent vacation

Hikaru is farming views while Levy is farming elo. What a duo.

I love how Gothamesque these titles are getting. Maybe the thumbnails too, I don't see them.

Rajmohan vs Rozman what a game!!

This is by far the best thumbnail.

Today's stare is a 8/10. Bit awkward but recovered. Not yet on the level of Grand matriarch Levy.

2:55 Hikaru is so humble, he called himself a 2700 GM even though he is 2800.

That variation worked out well for Levy. I suspect he enjoyed that game as much or more than any of the others.

4:39 "big black centre"😂

Going to want to be very careful calling that the Big Black Center and certainly never make that acronym (4:43) 😂😂

I watched it live for the first time, Now to watch it again here

13:36 The Brainrot has gotten to Hikaru

Congrats to Levy for clutching an IM norm!

would be very funny if we got levy becoming GM before Hikaru becoming World Champion

As expected, an excellent analysis, and good advice, as always. Thank you.

General Motors Levy Rozman!

Thanks for all the recaps Hikaru. Levy's mindset has changed so drastically, if he can just tighten up his precision a bit I reckon he can get that GM title for sure

Man Hikaru really likes levy. I love his advice at the end. Levy did need some confidence. I hope levy realizes with all his hours of making classes and creating content. He does have have the skills to become a GM. Just has to be confident in his moves. Levy does know a lot of theory and he needs to use that to his advantage and not get into time trouble. If he was confident in his moves and always put his opponent on time trouble I really think he could get his norms.

4 days theres been 10 videos all of Levy 😂 i love it

Levy uses Magnus as Clickbait. Now Hikaru uses Levy as Click wit. I can't wait to see Magnus have his own YT channel to see him use Hikaru as his Clickbait.

0:00 is that the Rozman-effect?

4:40 building the WHAT

The intro is literally iconic 🤧 ❤

we were REALLY welcome on this one

Imagine having an idol… make friends with him… and hearing your idol say you will never make life goal. Hikaru…. You need to work on your EQ. You are likely going to be a father one day. You have to change. Levi looks up to you. He worships you. Your words are powerful and you have a huge responsibility for them. (This is not the way. I have concerns.)

Hikaru calling levy’s website chessicles is devious behavior lmao

He says “Big Black Center” at least three times and also “Deez Knights”. I’m ded 😵

"Having access to an engine doesn't hurt." "Noone" entered the chat 🎉

If Hikaru ever retires from competitive chess I really hope he does go on to commentating chess tournaments. He is energetic, very knowledgeable (no duh when you're one of the best players ever) and in my opinion a joy to listen to.

Now he's on the same level as Tyler1

Levy be like, watch Hikaru recap than he will make his own recap. Bruh

Dude, I smashed that sub button every time you asked for and now I need a new mouse

Players under 2500 exist: Hikaru be like : Clearly they are making blunder after blunder . They need to do homework.

I literally thought I was watching a video featuring Hikaru on Levy's channel.. then I realised

6:52 Now we know new meaning of BBC - big black center 😂

Hikaru is undercutting levy content with levy as content... Brilliant move Hikaru

Check out the spartan furniture in Hikaru's room. A curio shelf with... a mini Santa and Christmas tree. And that's about it. Who came up with *this* tour-de-force of decor?

Big Black Center 😂 took me a while to get it

There’s a tournament wich held in egypt , over 300 competitors with some IMs , a 10 year old kid won the event called abd al rahman , i wish u do a recap on his games

Hikaru is Levy's personal coach at this time

the classic Hikaru stare into my soul before the videos starts

I just love all the kids watching live, "did Levy win?" the kids he saved during the pandemic by teaching chess. ❤

The big black center really is important in this game.

I think Hikaru feels bad after the lie detector test for saying Levy can't be a gm haha

These thumbnails have been making me chuckle

“You might be wondering why not …” No, no I wasn’t wondering
