bro, tbh don't sweat it, you're not meant to be.... I mean it's only fair you lose to most of higher rated players(GM), you're not a GM material

[matthewdoud]

It's a marathon, not a sprint, Levy. You can do anything you put your mind to. You will have good tournaments and bad tournaments. You are very humble, and like most of us, your harshest critic is yourself. At the end of the day, we love you, and you have already been successful in life. Remember, you have nothing to prove to anyone except yourself. We love you either way. That being said, keep up that grind. You are good enough to be a GM. I've been watching you for years. But do it for yourself. Don't do it for anyone else. You are worthy. You deserve it. Put that work in, and we are with you every step of the way. No matter where the journey takes you, most of us are just happy to be part of it.

Levy: "I FINALLY 🗣🗣🔥🔥
also Levy: " *I felt nothing. I mean I didn't even feel relief.* "

[harryarmstrong]

Hikary: Levy's time management was exquisite in this game.

Levy: I decided to play fast because I was angry.

Levy after my grandpa died I completely stopped playing chess. Your the reason I picked it back up, you will be a grandmaster never doubt your capabilities

[jasonkoch]

Arturs was ecstatic when you found Qb3. He was confident you were going to find it, and was ready to burst when you played it.

[REALponzinomics]

yes ser gz, i been following your tourney. dont let it get you down, its like statistically you were going to endure a % of losses on your journey to gm, and you just happen to be experiencing a cluster, which was also inevitable. darkest before dawn etc. gl on next game.

also, the fact you are enduring hardship on your journey will only make the prize feel more deserved and genuine.. if the journey to gm was easy, it would have no meaning to you.
the difficulty and torment of chess is just the cost you pay to have a path of meaning.

levy didnt use GM in the title once more

[noahj.]

Levy, hire a sports psychologist. This is one of the best things you will do for your GM chances. Your current mental, while improved, still has significant room for growth. Best of luck!

[realzombiexix]

chin up goat, incredibly proud of you no matter the outcome, also big love to coach for the late coverages with a sore throat, absolute champion <3

[shohanhowlader]

Gotham never fails to win once in a tournament

[StrengthOfADragon]

So, one of the most difficult parts mentally of .5/6 is that you have objective reasons to doubt yourself, but lack the time to do so practically. After the tournament you have time to evaluate what went wrong and how to improve, but when you aren't tilting it is really difficult to evaluate cleanly what you need to do to right the ship. Proud of you for doing so well at managing your mental. My biggest competitions have been in lifting, and nothing spooks me more than if I lose faith in myself. Make it through this and grow in the downtime after. I believe in your ability to make it through this and grow from it

What I truly enjoy about these recaps (other than the fact that Levy is hilarious with all the little side comments) is that he's not afraid to show his human side. He is saying out loud our own inner dialogue with honesty and integrity. It shows us that the journey to greatness is not linear and can have its set of drawbacks, and that’s ok. Go go go Levy! We’re all rooting for ya! Cheers from New-Brunswick, Canada!

[LiterallyAnythingg]

Last few losses have been hard on all of us but I’m here for you bro. We all have bad games and I think this is the best time to keep your mental strong 💪 You’re a great chess player and your play hasn’t been bad at all overall. Some bad openings and mistakes but nothing detrimental to your gm path. Review the losses and come back stronger.

mad respect for this series. picked up chess over the pandemic, played till about late 2021 and one of the last videos i saw was 'Will Levy become GM' then fell out of touch cause of highschool. have been playing again lately to divert my mind off things happening in my life and levy working towards GM takes me back a couple years when things were better. tysm for this

[spark]

Caught every of your Games live and It was so damn enjoyable listening to your coach

[TheKyleBrah]

For Liam, it was a devastating end to a devastating tournament.

For Levi, it was Tuesday.

[manit]

Congrats on breaking your physchological barrier Levy. It's nice to see you finding the missing part of your GM puzzle

[BdotNES]

Let's go Levy! Don't give up. You got this

[DanielleAff]

Yes Levy! I watched the whole thing live with your coach it was brilliant seeing what your coach saw and you did the same sometimes better moves! So impressed and proud can’t wait to see you reach your finish line! 🙌🏾❤️
