The Best Chess Tournament Of My Life

In 2016, I played in the Millionaire Chess Open (3rd Edition) in Atlantic City, New Jersey. It was the best tournament performance of my life. I played many grandmasters and had the best score... ever.

I don't like how you're too slick, but you got game, nice thumbnail and titles. Very compelling.

Me playing other 900 rated players - "He has no clue what he's doing, I have no clue what I'm doing, let's have a fight"

Levy: Beats all the 2.600 guys in crazy style and doesn't show any respect to them.
Also Levy: Loses against some random guy, who probably just showed up to have a beer.

the same arbiter 5 years later: I calculated it wrong, you are not an IM

14:56 "He has no idea what he's doing, I have no idea what he's doing, let's start a fight", basically sums up internet chat rooms

[elik]

Can we just acknowledge how impressive it is that Levy can record a full 30+ minute video with no cuts

[Justaplebxd]

levy: have no respect to your opponent attack them
me: ''get banned for trash talk''

[KingDerp]

No wonder he played so good, looks like Fabiano Caruana in the thumbnail

[PinkPineapplesRemix]

“You have one job, and you CALCULATED WRONG?!?!”

[greycat]

We should get a "Sorry, I'm gonna clean my glasses" every episode to rival Agadmators "Sorry about that."

Hey Levy, you’re probably not ever gonna see this, but I just wanna thank you for your effort and time that you put into teaching us, the viewers, chess. I appreciate every second of your video because, you don’t have any filter when you show up in your streams or videos, its just you showing your love for chess. And remember, you shouldn’t care about the haters, or trolls. I know they can be very discouraging, but as a representative of the people who love what you do, we are here to support you! So once again thanks a lot, you’ve been a huge help to me!

This whole tournament was like a film, it had it's ups and downs, it had a great climax and also, an awesome story! Thanks Levy for sharing this with us!

[extrabang]

Hey Levy, 2020 was a tough time for me and family, I started watching you since 2019. There are many times where I am lost in life and dont know what to do, your videos save me from sadness and anxiety. Thank you Levy!

[wyattaiken]

Levy: accidentally shows a spoiler
Also Levy: doesn’t edit it out for some reason even though it’s a yt video

This was very emotionally touching for a video about chess.

[Fliiy]

5th board, clearly says 6. Only Gotham can see that the 6 is actually a 5

[yagami-light]

It's interesting that The Queen's Gambit story writers didn't look into Gotham's life for beautiful and tense thrilling stories

[thebus]

The evolution of Gothamchess:

Best game ever played
Worst game ever played
Best tournament ever played

I think I see a pattern here.

Edit: I guess people do agree with me
