There are two kinds of 1600-rated players: one that defeats a talented IM and one that hangs a piece on move 6

[kelvinnueveanimeguitar]

This will set back levy 50 Elo thus delaying his grandmother status

[ThatGodlyHuman]

I cant believe Levy's lamp is higher rated than me.

[Durzaka]

Watching Levy like frantically gesture/mark the board on what could potentially be played while NL takes a year to make a move on turn 5 is just fantastic. Grade A entertainment.

[gamersden]

"I'm Becoming a Grandmaster" to "Levy Losing To A 1600", ironic

[edwinchacko]

Possible improvement for next ep: add a move counter so we know how much the swapped person has to play

[michaoin]

Next episode should be with Hikaru, where Levy is playing the first 20 moves vs some 2800 or 3000

the egg gambit - where levy sacrifices his ELO so NL can bless us with anecdotes about delis

[AlexSmith-tzlf]

"I want to give you as much time as possible." *waits for literally 45 seconds*

[jaxweby]

Levy casually showing the potential plans of the position with the arrows is pretty useful and interesting. The facial reactions at each idea is beautifully entertaining. loving the content

and now a separate idea, compilation of funky levy faces

[aidantaylor]

Loved this, NL knows openings are a bit of a weakness and it was fun watching him strain to keep it all together and you overclocking your brain to get the win.

[samchan]

I think longer time-format would suit this better, less presure on the (lower-rated) player to make move and for Levy to recover after taking over....also Levy commenting immediately after move is made makes this more fun...oh, no... :)

[elanti]

It really felt like Northernlion was suffering a lot from time managment, probably because he hadn't played for 4 months as he said.

[ShanomoBro]

I wasn't sure about this series to start with, but the great post-game analysis along with the idea works on dual points, because they make mistakes you wouldn't and then you take over which helps us learn how to recover from a weakened position too. Also helps Northern Lion has a similar rating to me :P You the man Levy, keep rolling out the content!

[scottjasper]

Liking the new series. I think 20 moves on lower rated and 15 against higher rated is fairer

[doylepritchard]

I'm glad Levy is aware of his fan base. Alot of influencers make edgy or controversial content not understanding their fan base is on the younger side and very impressionable. This is part of the reason Levy blew up so quick. It was putting in the hard work and being a genuine creator.

[grizzlygamer]

Absolutely love how much fun Levy was having playing out the completely cracked position out in the second game.

[twizted]

levys lamp is like 2000 rated at ultra bullet on lichess lol, ive played him before, he's a strong fkin player hahaha

[fornito]

Bro levys lamp was literally looking at your screen and move suggestions the whole time, huge advantage!! Next time paper bag over the head and lesgo
