I love how when a GM says blundered, it's when they mess up their structure a bit and maybe lose 0.1 of an advantage, but when I say I blundered, it's when I left my queen hanging with checkmate in 2 after sacrificing my rook thinking I made a brilliant move.

He never got violent but he would something threaten it. The 3rd Alex was my roommate. He would constantly steal my food and he snuck in my bedroom when i was gone or when i was asleep. I finally realized that he was in my room when i was sleeping because some large items were moved that wasn't moved when i was awake. When i asked him about it, he said he was looking for his cat.

Although Levy sometimes seems rude for the sake of content, I do think he is a very kind person at heart And obviously GM Pia is just so extremely calming and gentle. I love this, you can't not show her respect 😊

Funfact: This type of nervousness around stronger players was the reason many players disliked and some players outright hated playing Judith Polgar or Gary Kasparov. Anand was infamous for often being intimidated by Kasparov which contributed at least to some crushing losses Anand had against him. Psychology plays a certain role despite all the rationalization and professionalism over the board. Kramnik at one point gave an extensive interview talking about how he won against Kasparov in 2000, and admitted that it was mostly a psychological trap since Kasparov, the best player of all time, was so much stronger (Kasparov 2849, Kramnik 2770). The thing with the Berlin defense appeared fairly late during his preparation, roughly 6 weeks before the match, more like an accident, but an accident Kramnik jumped on and made a key to ambush Kasparov. The general plan was to play things Kasparov did not excel in or did not like. Sounds simple but Kramnik said in regular tournament chess exactly that was very difficult to do because Gary was (and kind of still is) the leading expert in the Najdorf and the Grünfeld. He also said Gary was the significantly better player and he needed to shock-attack him, gain +0.5 or +1 and hold on to it like there is no tomorrow, which has to do with the statistic nature of chess. Even a player that much stronger struggles with equalizing in only 15 games ...and this is why since 2000 the chess world championship was never again the match of the definitive 2 best players nor was the world champion always clearly the best classical chess player. 12 games is not enough to determine that. 24 is slightly better but technically still not enough to minimize statistical variance. Kramnik also hoped that Kasparov would be more occupied than usual and not sit at the board at his 100% due to all the press work of the world champion and by the fact that Kasparov was involved in the improvement of chess engines via consulting work. Some of the preparation also went against the Najdorf-Sicilian and the Grünfeld-Indian. Kramnik also said that he knew Kasparov was at that time already heavily relying on engines but back then certain things were out of the understanding and beyond the capabilities of those engines so that he tried to achieve positions in which engine preparation would not help Kasparov. Overall, Kramnik succeeded by putting together this very specific anti-person strategy...he was one of the few players openly saying "I am not afraid of Kasparov. Let him do his gesturing at the board. I sometimes enjoy it when he makes a face because i may have made a good move he did not anticipate as much.". However, Kramnik winning led to the absolute BONKERS situations that until Kasparov's retirement in 2005 the BY FAR and UNDISPUTED best player in the world was not world champion, plus, all the obnoxious antics, politics and intrigues by FIDE to stall and to prevent a re-match so Kasparov could never win his title back... I can understand Magnus not being happy with the world championshop mode. And I agree with Kasparov and Karpov who both say the mode should be like back in the days: Play until a certain amount of wins, e.g. +6, draws do not count, have a decisive lead over your opponent, e.g. +2 or +3 (6-2, 6-3), and just have a large but limited amount of games allowing to determine the true best player in classical chess, e.g. 50 games, 60 games, maybe 80 games. Play for the title only every 3 to 4 years. That would make it a real high-end battle.

80 games of several hrs each is mind melting for even the top GMs. It would be a test of endurance more than chess ability.

thanks for a very informative and interesting comment

I really enjoy watching the speed chess type games, the 5:00 time is a good happy medium imo, the decision making abilities are challeneged, fun to watch!

awesome. please show us more games with mom, we really enjoyed this.

The more I get into chess the more interesting it is to see different styles of play. Her being SO positional is really interesting. Her saying that the doubled pawns in the first game being a blunder while not being that bad was so amazing because it really showed how she thinks. Each move is as much for the position that she wishes to reach as for being a good move to threaten.

With more exp double pawns really does make sht awkward it leads to weird protection strategies and exhausting protection. I find annoying lol

I love that almost none of Pia's moves are wasted. Each move has its intent. It's mesmerizing to watch.

This is the first video I’ve ever been able to hear two great players play both talking out loud the whole time. It all went over my head but was still so cool

love the admiration levy shows Pia. class act.

This video made me tear up a bit. My mother passed away recently and she had a very similar accent and style of speaking Anna's mother here.

This video has the most relaxed energy ever. Your mom talking quietly to herself. Levy just enjoying the moment. Lovely people, lovely interaction.

I love how Pia with a very calming voice just completely dismantles Levy.

I could listen to her talk all day🥴

That first game was amazing! I haven’t seen the second game yet

When you make your move and Pia says "yes," it's a wrap.

Uggghh she is good. I would love to see her get a 20 or 30 or 60 minute match vs some people. She seems to love setting up rock solid positions

At The Marshall Chess Club ~ ... I became a member last year, took a lesson there ... played in a tournament there ... I had wanted to join ever since the 1970's ... now I get to enjoy seeing 'my club' on these KZread videos ...

That mom is lovely she has such a pure soft soul❤

Can we appreciate how gentle Pia is, with the clock button.

and levy slams it every other move lmaooo

I loved every minute of this. So cool to observe the interplay of personality and chess skills of these two. I only wish this video were longer. Levy almost panicked early in the first game, but Pia and Anna kept him occupied and he calmed and started enjoying the game. All around wholesome. And Pia's playing style is remarkable!

Your mom could do ASMR frrr, her voice is amazing when combined with her skill set in chess. It was a phenomenal watch, thank you.

Watching them play is how i picture me and another 300 rated beginer looking stressfully and trying not to blunder

I sometimes cant believe thats Anna's mother. She has such a calm, soothing voice! 😂

Such back-handed shade, lol.

I absolutely adore Pia. She is my favorite player period. So kind.

Love watching my mother in law.. ammm I mean your mom playing and she's so humble as brilliant

Thank you Anna. Your GM mother is a delight to watch her game play. 🎉😊 🇸🇪

I like that after the friendly match ends, regardless who wins, they still are talking about positions and whatnot. Dedication to the craft.

Pia and Anna talk so similarly especially 19:35 the way she said "i lost on time, okay yes"

That first match made me nervous bro💀As a Gotham supporter this was super amazing

Two phenomenal players no matter how the game ends.

amazing matches, thank you. also love that you just get straight into the games

Anna, i can't stress enough how much i loved these games! I also think that much longer games would be even better but your mom definitely should play levy more!

Oh how I love this content your mom is so strong two of my favorite players wonderful thanks

Wholesome. Love the great mannerisms Levy shows while playing her.

Is it just me or is watching Pia play super relaxing?

Mom is adorable. What a strong player and a great source of wisdom. She laid the smackdown on you.

Your mother is adorable. I have a sense that she thinks differently about chess than most other GMs I’ve seen.
