Hikaru thinks Levy can be GM

Bro really said “you brain strong but mind weak”

[anonymouscacti]

Hikaru basically said “don’t turn into a monkey every time you make a good move levy”

[eyto]

"mentally you're sort of not quite there"

someone clip that out of context 😂

[mistertwister]

Effectively saying “You have the skill, you just need the mentality to get there” which is a HUGE compliment from somebody as skilled as him

[PokepoppinTV]

A lot of you are looking at this negatively when it's actually a very positive thing. Hikaru is actually saying he has the knowledge and ability to be a grandmaster, and he can do it by changing his mentality, which is entirely possible. This is great news for Levy.

[rocket-rakun]

"I think you can be GM but you don't think you can be GM"

[Pxe]

Hikaru telling you to sacrifice that self doubt.

[YRMW]

Back after Levy’s video announcing he’s back on the road to becoming a GM

[vjkg]

The fact THE Hikaru is smiling at Levy while saying this makes it so much better

[xfuttex]

I can't put myself in Levy's position, but Hikaru, being within the top 10 players in the world, says that it is possible for Levy and gives advice on where to improve is a huge compliment.

[ErebusFOG]

to the comments saying hikaru said no, he literally didnt. he said "yeah you definently can be, as soon as you figure out the mental part of it" which, from what i've seen of levy's content, is a very fair critique and something that i know levy is also trying to improve on.

[Darko.]

Translation: "You're already a Grandmaster Levy, you just have to belive..."

[coolname]

People may laugh at this answer but it’s a genuinely good critique. Like what levy said in the Gukesh interview, the top players in games like tennis and chess are all relatively equal to each other and it’s the mental aspect that determines who comes out on top most of the time

[arcverson]

Levy: "Senpai, what does it mean to be a real Grandmaster"
Hikaru: "To literally not care 🤷‍♂️"

[SD-J]

Maybe the real grandmaster is the friends we made along the way

[brunostorm]

Levy's impact on the chessworld is incredibly significant looking at the enthousiasm and education he brings to the table. I get his ambition to become a grandmaster but honestly I think his contribution to the community is as valuable as being a grandmaster ❤

[goodboy]

Hikaru is trying to tell Levy to literally not care

[christiangray]

I’m definitely rooting for you.

And honestly whether you achieve it or not, you facing this struggle head on and fighting to get through it is an amazing feat.

My mentality has prevented me from achieving several goals, and I very personally know how difficult it is to face it.

[isaacpianos]

Levy has to use that "my enemy is as afraid as I am"

People have to look at him and think "omg its gotham chess imma get clipped"

[shiranuithewolf]

I’ve thought this for a while, Levy definitely has the GM knowledge and skill, he just doubts himself which causes him to make mistakes
