Dubov is absolutely shocking the world right now. If he keeps up like this I bet he will get a Balenciaga endorsement.

[ayebarberfuckmeup]

Magnus Carlsen sacrificed his Laptop when he got eliminated haha

[chrisbotos]

The top 4 were eliminated by the bottom 4 craziness.

[nilo]

The same commentators that said Hikaru is an angry loser said nothing about Carlsen smashing his laptop.

[iaraculonna]

This was surely more entertaining than Game of Thrones entire Season 8. Hands down.

[rhysmc]

im not even joking, i was literally just searching for this and then you uploaded. nice

[roadtoonesubscriber]

When u already watch the matches but then levy comes up with this title and you have to rewatch all again

[raylopez]

It's official: Dubov is Tal reincarnated.

Having followed chess before the recent "Twitch boom, " I can see where the commentators are coming from regarding Hikaru. Frankly, they are right - Hikaru used to be very hot-headed, prideful, and frankly immature. He definitely was not a good loser at all, especially after losing to people he thought to be "beneath him, " and I personally didn't like him much either because of it.

However, what I will say is that after watching some of his streams and YouTube videos, I personally think his personality is much more tempered and mature, both in victory and defeat, and he's a very enjoyable person to follow and a phenomenal ambassador for the game (the amount of money they were able to raise today for charity is just one example of that). In fact, I think the clip Levy showed of his response to those commentators' comments today was proof of that - maybe 3-5 years ago he would've thrown a hissy fit about someone criticizing him like that, but today he just laughed it off and made a joke about it instead, and I loved it. So personally, I think those commentators are probably still remembering the old Hikaru, which I think is a little unfair.

One of the most exciting days of top tier chess, interesting games, lots of upsets and drama, and thanks for putting so much energy into making the recaps just as thrilling

[domenicogiaquinto]

Nobody:
Anish Giri yesterday: "I think Magnus, Naka and So are the favorites for the event"

[kas_ontop]

"All recaps are the best recaps"

- me

[felix-antoineroux]

To be fair, the whole "smashing things" thing is not really against Hikaru. On the official broadcast, they had this question, for the fans, on twitter, that was "what is the worst thing that you ever done after a lost" (i'm paraphrasing here) and David, the commentator, has admit that he, himself, "has trashed a few hotel rooms on occasions". When they were talking about Hikaru, they were referencing that. It was not personnel or against him, really.

[ratius]

“The computers out for a smoke break” omfg 😂😅😂

[anthonybakker]

To me . . . a player having an outburst after a loss is not necessarily the same thing as being a "bad loser". It is more likely anger directed inwards.

[DTZEth]

This recaps are AMAZING!! Amazing games, sick commentary and breath taking presentation!! Just BEAUTIFUL!!

[focusecerz]

I really like this guy. It takes a lot of effort to edit all of these videos after a tiring day in Hogwarts.

[jopeDE]

DUBOV DUBOV DUBOV!!!

Btw. They should call it "the dubov variation" and not "delayed evans gambit"!

[lucagerza]

Levy knows exactly what he’s doing by bringing up the official broadcast drama hahaha

Adding fuel to the fire
