When is the GothamChess GMHikaru OnlyFans collaboration airing? Disgusting how much you rely on him for content

"behave online as you would in person" is advice so many people need to hear

Levy : "behave online the way you would in person" Levy online: HE LOST AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😆👉

“I’m looking at the big picture, and how is there no carpet in the venue” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yesterday's interview with Anand: You can loose in chess in 1 move... well not at your level. Today, Hikaru's game: ...

1:29 Hikaru vs Nijat Abasov 15:25 Fabi vs Alireza 19:52 Nurgyul Salimova vs Vaishali 23:15 Pragg vs Vidit 25:05 Kateyna Lagno vs Anna Muzychuk 26:29 Tan Zhongyi vs Humpy 29:00 Aleksandra Gorachkina vs Lei Tingjie 33:31 Nepo vs Gukesh

"Yesterday the guy said I was sad my boyfriend lost" Actually got me laughing. Nice answer though, made me feel bad for being 26 and laughing at that.

Hikaru has replaced Magnus as Gotham's content farm

Don’t know how I would keep up with this tournament without these recaps. Thanks for all the great work you do Levy!!!!

Gothamchess never fails to include Levi in his videos

having my exam period during this banger of a candidates tournament is so frustrating. Im gonna have to binge all your recaps after its done

Levi: "behave online as you would in person" Alireza's father:

Abasov really exceeding my expectations tbh. Impressive games.

1:23 Hikaru vs Abasov 12:03 Fabi vs Alireza 19:46 Vaishali vs Salimova 23:09 Vidit vs Pragg 25:03 Muzychuk vs Lagno 26:27 Humpy vs Zhongyi 29:00 Tingjie vs Goryachkina 33:23 Gukesh vs Ian

i swear your recaps are sooo good! they are so tense and interesting. absolutely incredible good work man

Levy is such a New Yorker.

What's crazy is Gukesh is first and still has Alireza and Abasov. Bro in the driver seat

Here in Italy it's 3:06 and I was literally waiting for this 10 round, as intense as the previous ones, keep going with these recaps Levy! Greetings from Italy🇮🇹

Always looking forward to the Gotham Chess videos for the interesting summary of candidates. Keep up the good work!

Ah yes, the famous “he” lost that everyone knows has lost already

I try to catch what I can live, but I look forward to your analysis more. Thanks for putting out these high quality videos insanely quick!

Jesus christ that Hikaru Abasov game was a roller coaster

😭😭😭😭8:30 levi freaking love you man, went from analysis to scolding.

8:31 got me good 😂

This is the first time I’m following a chess tournament, you have made it so fun, thank you Levi

thank you for putting out great content gotham im watching videos while prepping for my state chess tournament

you're doing great man, just so you know you are the espn in chess for me and a lot of people. keep it up!

Man, that's heartbreaking for Abasov. But even tho he is not winning candidates, to be able to draw with some of the super GMs and almost beating hikaru with black, those are already huge accomplishments for someone in the lowest seed.

Levy never fails to stand up for his boyfriend. ❤

Thanks for making these Levy. The games start around midnight my timezone so I can't watch the rounds live and I watch these recaps first thing after I wake up

Really enjoy your vids and just bought your book! Keep up the great work and thanks for all these explanations. You really are making chess as fun as it can be! 🎉

TIMESTAMPS FOR GAMES : Hikaru vs Abasov 1:25 : Fabi vs Firouzja 15:25 : Vaishali vs Salimova 19:50 : Vidit vs Pragg 23:15 : Muzychuk vs Lagno 25:04 : Tan Zhongyi vs Humpy 26:30 : Goryachkina vs Tingjie 28:58 :Gukesh vs Ian 33:30

Easiest way (to calculate mathematically) to win the Tournament. OPEN Nepo: winning 1 game and the rest of the games are draws Gukesh: same as Nepo. Pragg: Beating Nepo and winning another game to overtake Gukesh. Fabi or Hikaru: Beating both Gukesh and Nepo to be +3 and the rivals would be +1 if rest of games are draws. Vidit: if the rest of games are draws, he needs 3/4 and a draw to be +3 and win without ties Alireza: going 4/4 would be +1. And hoping miracles with ties. Abasov. No options. WOMEN'S Tan and Lei: assuming the games of the rest of the field are draws, winning 1 more game than the other one. Lagno: winning the two battles against the chinese and the rest are draws (she'd be the only +3) Goryachkina: winning 3/4 (+4) or winning 2/4 and both chinese lose 1 so she's the only +3 (she plays one of them) Humpy: going 4/4, Beating Tingjie in the process and hoping that Tan loses a game and rest are draws. Muzychuk: if the rest are draws and she goes 4/4, she'd tie both Tan and Lei (she plays both), so she would need each of them to lose 1 game against non-russians (so that the russian don't get to +2 either) Salimova: similar to Muzychuk. But since Salimova has played Lei, Lei would need to lose two games against non-russian rivals. (I've checked the pairings and it is possible mathematically speaking. Vaishali: Like firouzja. Going 4/4 and praying for a miracle with ties.

Thanks for all these recaps, you truly make them interesting

Very wise words, so many people are comfortable with disrespecting online, thinking there aren't consequences. You don't have to explain yourself, but young man you served up a beautiful dish of wisdom 👌💯

Thanks for these nice recaps gotham:)

Levi, yours is the only channel I am willing to sit through 20 second ads for. Your coverage over time has created the incentive to be a fan of any one of the competitors in this event. Magnificent! As soon as I think I’m a fan of Hikaru, I find myself hoping Abasov can pull it out. Never heard of Vaishali or Muzychuk before this tournament, but thanks to your commentary, the underdogs are hailed and the leaders are honored. Such a hard balance to strike - Well done. Glad I’m a fan of yours!!

I'm so happy you and Hikaru are finally official, congratulations Gotham!

I would really love a video explaining why tournaments are still separate and your opinions on the topic. I think you've mentioned making one a few times.

Levy telling people to behave online the same way as they would in person is extremely rich lmao. He is such a smart ass online but when you see him interact with people in person on camera, he's the nicest guy ever 😂😂

Gotham broke my ankles with that title.

You narrate these so well. Just brilliant Love it

I can’t wait to go through and watch all of these this weekend

That thumbnail and title combo got me rolling 🤣

Thanks for a great recap, I enjoyed watching the women's! We had Ben and Danya doing awesome scholar commentary.

You can definitely see how fatigued some of the players are by how frequent their miscalculations are becoming.

You are so much more enjoyable to listen to when your serious, (not being “funny”). Keep it up.👍👍

This whole candidate I am awake 6.20 in the morning, because I want levy's recaps

11:43 "you can call him my boyfriend"

Levy you r doing an outstanding job at covering the candidates. Thank you its fun, insightful, and although i watch about 2/3 of the mens side i get tired and you cap it off for me and cover the female side too. Thank you so much. Ive really enjoyed all your past 10 videos

ur so close to 5 mil levy love ur vids keep it up

“hikaru has 7 minutes to make 6 moves” bro Levy’s boyfriend is literally the bullet player in the world, he’s not gonna lose on time

Remember Magnus advice when you play chess. Sit at the board, play with yourself, It’s amazing

Thanks Levy. There are so many people commenting on Chess who are dull. But you add such a sparkle

Never thought I'd be out here itching to watch chess recaps everyday

Levy do the thug shake

Alireza's father wasn't kicked out because Fabiano remained in the hall the whole time.

Hey Levy, my friend (who doesn't play chess) overheard me watching your recap and thought i was watching some other physical sport. "I didn't know chess was so exciting" is what he said. I just wanted to say Thank You for introducing so many people to this great game ❤

I really like your videos. They are extremely entertaining and informative Thanks

I had so much fun listening to you putting those teenagers in them please .... 😂😂😂 The recap we all right though 😂😂❤❤

Hikaru bouncing back!

We love your stuff Gotham -- keep up the good work!

This is such great commentary, thanks Levi!

If Alireza can't handle being nicely asked to be considerate of other players with making noise, then perhaps he should stop playing chess.

levy never fails to clickbait us

Love your recaps man. Thanks for explaining it for us brainlets and keeping it entertaining at the same time!

Been loving the coverage! Thanks a bunch for the timely videos.

Great format for covering the candidates', by the way.

3 mins is crazy!

Original title: HE LOST AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brother your recaps are awesome..the best

11:45 Levy has announced his relationship with Hikaru!!!🎉🎉🥳🥳 congrats Levy

Levy really making sure that we know Hikaru = Him 😆

"Social media made y'all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it." -Mike Tyson

"he lost again" and Gotham looks so damn happy is just a funny combo

Hikaru's advantage - Slowly analysed and savoured by Levi Nijat's Advantage - quick skips of the moves nd hovering over the game & just says Nijat takes over

1 min and no views, bro fell off

Amazing content, continue like this man.

Hi Levy, I love your coverage of the Candidates 2024. Do you think you could make a video about the Gen Martin bot against Stockfish? This would be an 'Uh-Oh' match for sure!😂

title baited lol

Hikaru won! What an exciting game! ♥️🇨🇦 0:39

1800s musician makes a different chord... is top notch banter

At this stage it's a 50% chance that an Indian might end up winning the candidates.

Hikaru almost screwed the pooch against Abasov. The chat was frothy. Luckily he pulled a rabbit out of his…..yeah, it wasn’t a hat.

Alireza is a punk. And the apple doesn't fall far from the tree because his dad is a punk too. When things aren't going a punks way, a punk kicks up a bunch of dirt to try to get the upper hand on his opponents. It's the punk way.

Hi Levy, great recaps you're making. Very wonderful... Enjoying every bit of this tournament from your recaps. Keep up the good work, we really appreciate it. I want to please ask, at 25:22, in the Lagno Vs. Muzychuk game, why didn't thr whitr bishop on d5 take the rook in the corner? Was it becasue of the pressure the queen applies on the f3 pawn is front of the white king? If yes, can't the other a2 knight come to the rescue? Thank you.

That Hikaru game was so insane. Levy with the awesome recap

Nothing better than Gotham at night. (Edit) yes I liked my own comment

Levy so upset about his boyfriend thing.. Like dude listen it's ok to be into Hikaru. The only issue is that you are ignoring Magnus just because he isn't into playing in your little candidate tournament thing. I mean listen man, you can't give up on Magnus just because of a single small drama. You know you love Magnus. Sometimes love can include 3 people, that's all I have to say. Good luck and never give up.

The question about having carpet absolutely killed me. What a good point

9:40 this reaction was really badass😂

Desperate for titles since Magnus can't be mentioned

Better title would be Im never gonna be a GM!

Levy's '!' key after every video: "I can't take much more of this. My butt hurts."

If someone complained about the noise of walking around and it was reasonable then the arbiter has a duty to stop him walking around. Sounds more like someone having a bad tourney finding an excuse

I hate it when you say something like: "he should have found the move xy". Then you already know that he won't find the move

900 views in 2 minutes is crazy

I was already crying before the video started, what a scare Levy

That Hikaru vs Nijat game reminded me of one of your 400 ELO chess episodes the way the eval bar was moving towards the end! 😀

Gotham is like don’t say he is my boyfriend. Pins the comment that says he is
