Alireza pushing his kingside pawns against Mustafa was insane.

Alireza is gonna push Magnus like he's never been pushed. And because of that, I think one of them is going to become the first to cross 2900.

There's still a tough road ahead. Alireza has yet to win against Ding, Fabiano or Magnus in a classical game, which is a major roadblock that he has yet to clear. Guys like Nakamura also had a 2819 rating at one point, but he only ever beat Magnus once while losing 14 times, and that will eventually kill all of your momentum and confidence. We'll see whether Alireza is the chosen one soon enough.

Ever since I started playing chess he’s been my favorite chess player… watched him accelerate from barely in the top 50 to becoming a top GM as a teenager… can’t wait to see what this guy does and if anyone from his generation will be able to come even close to touching him.

(I'm sure you already know but this is for the viewers who don't) Alireza usually plays Karo Cann or Najdorf when he plays black. It's only recently that he's started playing e5 in response to 1. e4. But he doesn't play it often. So yes, it is actually fairly easy to prepare against Alireza's openings because he sticks to the same ones. In white he usually plays Italian or Ruy Lopez so again he doesn't spring surprise openings. But it speaks for the depth of his knowledge and understanding of his chosen openings that he still plays the same ones and creates variations within them and takes his opponents out of their prep against him. The first game you picked is a perfect example of this - he started with his usual opening, then reacted to what his opponent was doing and it became wild from there. When I teach family members or friends openings, I like to follow up with a game or two from GMs who used this opening to great effect (to inspire my loved ones to learn the goddamn opening and not give up), and Alireza is my fave to pick for Karo Cann and Ruy Lopez. I think he's a perfect example of how you can still play the same opening and be creative with it.

This is why I love the caro kann vs 1.e4. Straight forward opening and middle game. As long as you don't blunder a piece, you're typically just gonna bring the game to an endgame and win it out that way. If your opponent tries anything fancy, you can usually shut it down pretty easily. Now I just need people to stop playing 1.d4 against me cause you should probably know 3 different defenses vs 1.d4. When there's 7 variations of each open... That's a lot of learning I don't want to learn! Took 2 years just to learn 4 different lines of Caro-Kann and 4 different lines of the London system...

Daniel King pointed out that the exact same endgame position, where Rf3 would have drawn, was on the board in a game in 1908 between Teichmann and Alapin. In that game, Rf3 was found, White didn't take, and the game ended in a draw. Daniel gives an excellent analysis on his channel (PowerPlayChess).

So he could lose and won’t get the dose rating

@@rickrick5041 If you look at the FIDE ratings cards for the various players on their website, you'll see they calculate the player's rating after every game, and show their rating after every game. So he's guaranteed to show over 2800 on his official ratings card for at least one game, even if he goes on a massive losing streak.

"If you didn't see it because I'm in another tab. Thats fine" Actually I'm editing videos, but close enough

For you’re dead Pokémon channel?

im actually surprised how good is Levy at pronouncing different non-english syllables. you were correct about Erdős…

@7:18 Levy being able to pronounce the Turkish ‘i’ made my day

After all the hype that Queen's Gambit brought to chess community, everyone was like "OK that's some TV Series and there's Magnus who beats everyone for 10 years. He's gonna play with Nepo who has nothing special about him. Such a boring underdog to root for him to even become a WCC. All the other stuff like Kasparov, Fischer, Tal & bla bla bla are just history." Then there's a new boy who is young and he was around for a while improving slowly but surely. There's some clips of him talking to arbiters and cameramen. Some flag changing news going around. but suddenly he rises from the ashes, breaks some records, becomes no2 and wins a torney, qualifies for candidates and now everyone is rooting for him, talking about how is gonna be the future world champion. It looks even more exciting than the netflix series. Kind of a real-time history and stuff. That's exactly the type of hype chess community needed for a long time. And now we are here!

✨🌺✨ Nice comment.

I'm on a chess chat and the guys reffer to alireza as "lil moustache boy" so unrespectful yet so funny

btw. the crazy knight retake on d5 is forced according to Stockfish - if you retake with the pawn, you're giving White the e-file at a point where he can use it and land all sorts of mayhem on the seventh rank. Is my best guess anyway - there's no tactics justifying the +-; I just flipped back and forth between the two recaptures. If only there was an IM here or something.

Hey levy, I think u can make a video on Tata Steel Blitz India. Arjun Erigaisi and Levon Aronian were in tremendous form and it went till tiebreaks and levon won in armagaeddon. Le Quang Liem,Nihal, Shankland, Vidit , Parham all played this tournament.

Very likely he is going to surpass magnus' achievements

the most he can do in his future is climb one rank up in classical chess, i dont see it being any greater than that

22:09 Gotham: Look at this, every single important piece is on a dark square. LS Bishop: (Sigh)

Please make a video about 5 (or whatever number) times grandmasters resigned in winning positions

At 18 I just knew how pieces move, but never really played. Started playing at 20, and I’m average, but this dude is still a kid and monster in chess at age 18. Congrats Alireza, let’s go get the title next year 😎

I'm still a very, very mild skeptic but getting to 2800 at such a young age is a real accomplishment. We have seen some pretty outrageous 2800 levels before, though; you have to be able to hold it over time. Still, I would no longer bet against him. He's got youth, talent, motivation and hasn't been world champion for twelve years (assuming Carlsen wins). We'll know even more if he keeps climbing since both Gary and Magnus were top player in the world before they were WC. Can't help remembering that Caruana moment, though, when he seemed unbeatable and won everything--and now he's just, well, dumbly good but not Magnus.

This made me want to play OTB chess again. Thank you Levy and Alireza

Jobava is just happy that you didn't ironic him.

Alireza's next record breaking is the youngest WC.

I full on forgot the phrase “world champion” and was sitting here wondering what kind of water closet record he’d be breaking
