Wow man you weren't kidding, you really are sleep deprived. One instant look at your eyes and I can see it. Levy, just know that we are here to support your decisions. If you need to rest, go for it! You've been giving all of this content to us and now we should give back to you. So please Levy, get some rest, take a break if needed.

[johnchessant]

Levy we would understand if you need to take a break. You are worth more than a king and your mental and physical health is really important. So much of your content is very entertaining on the rewatch anyway <3

(Yes usually I make jokes about how I want to gently caress his moustache but today I felt this was important to say)

[yadhunandanhegde]

levy is literally the cure for boredom.

[LeventButSpeedrunning]

1500: OMG I outsmarted Levy! This is the only move but equalizing!
Levy, 5 minutes ago: OK let's see if my opponent finds the only move.

Just here to tell levy that he is the best chess teacher/youtuber/streamer.

Also just want to thank you. I went from 1550 to 1800 in the past year thanks to your lessons and courses.

[SchrodingersCat]

This is the first time I can really feel your fatigue man, it’s in your voice and face and I’m not being critical. Quite the opposite we love you bro and will totally understand if you need either a break or to slow down the content a bit. After a million subs in under a year I’d say it’s well earned!! Don’t be afraid to take a break/slow it down we will still be here :)

[seanofthezo]

I was really sorry to hear about your burn out. Your content has been important for me during one of the hardest years of my life, and I am grateful to you for it. Please take care of yourself, as you deserve the rest. What you've done in the last year is remarkable. Thank you so much for existing.

14:30 It went from Win at Chess to guess the elo

[bobibrahm]

You have really helped me through hard times with your humour and chess, i got into chess more because of you and my life has been much better. I really appreciate it <3

[StewartUSAF]

"Once I get my King safe, then I'll feel good about myself." Levy, you should definitely feel good about yourself regardless of your King safety. You are a great content creator as well as a good teacher/explainer of chess concepts and thought processes.

[ImJustJonnY.]

Levy sounds like he’s about to fall asleep every time he speaks he really needs a break

[gamergenius]

"Please guys no more blunders"
Next day: *Gotham viewers start defeating supergms*

[SpacewardJarl]

We love you Levy! You have single-handedly brought my rating from 1300 to 1500 in a few weeks. You are so easy to understand and have such an interesting way of explaining everything. Everything is understandable and have allowed me to get the ideas of all parts of the game.

[aditiajish]

Your burnout is totally understandable. In fact, take a break!!! I've been entertained enough the past few days to last me weeks😌

[bencesarvari]

Brain: forgets variation
Levy: *chuckles* I'm in danger.

[urbanfox]

Hey, man, just relax. We are not going anywhere. Take your time. You are an excellent creator and we would wait for your content. Just relax. Be sound.

[JasperPino]

When even Gotham doesn't know that bishops can go back

[Notorious-S]

Last game was probably the most intense game of chess i ever watched... wow if it was me i would've promoted you to a GM 👍🏻

Levy's "win at chess" series is some of the best educational chess content on the web.

We appreciate you Levy, feel better soon!
