"If i take, i will take"
How poetic

I think one of the issues with asking Levy, "when will you become a GM, " is that it's naive and somewhat disrespectful to his IM title. Becoming an International Master takes thousands of hours of studying, analyzing, and playing. To put it in perspective, if you're an average player, it typically takes about 10-12 years to become an international master - and that's if you're dedicated.

Just understand that this man has reached the 1% categories of chess players. He has accomplished something that most people never will. But beyond all this bs that I just said; beyond all his accomplishments! Levy is an excellent content creator that provides educational and fun videos for casuals like me. His awkwardness always makes me smile because I relate so hard. Also, he's a 90s kid, so that automatically makes him cool as shit. So let's stop asking these questions and just enjoy some chess!

"10 months in the future"

that's a nice coincidence me watching 10 months 3 days in the future

For people wondering what happens if the queen takes the rook (in the last game) after Qb3, kf3, castles :moving the b knight traps the queen. But 2 rooks for a queen is considered not that bad in top level chess that’s why the bar didn’t go like +9 or something crazy.

26:18 dear levy, you underestimate how capable I am of blundering even with playing familiar positions..

[puritan]

How do I avoid tilt? "I throw eggs at cars" ROFL I will never tilt again - I will just think about Levy throwing eggs out of his window at passing cars!! :'D

[shawnbutler]

"It's like wolf of wall street but with chess" lol idk if its just me but that sounds like a good time.

[sayemali]

Even if I don't come here to learn chess, I come here for the fun. You are both entertaining and instructive. Best chess channel.

17:10 "I'm assuming by then we have PogChamps 3 and 4" oh how right you are Levy

Me: playing some checkers.
Random Gotham subscriber: Is this Vienna?

[kicadjo]

When will we get an opening theory video that dives deep into it? You always skip theory when analyzing. Keep up the good work!

"I love what I do, and I don't feel like I have to change anything right now."
