Love the recaps. I'm invested in Levy's story and appreciate the high level analysis. What I would really enjoy is maybe saying what you would have played in a particular position. This would help us mortals to understand the difference between a player like you and Levy. Obviously the focus is on his game and how he played it but a few thoughts here and there of where your gut pulls you in certain positions and why you think you feel that way would be great.

How does the whole GM norm process work? Since levy isn’t close to 2500 yet don’t you need that to be a GM? Or how does it work?

@Jordan-ud4qv Ай бұрын

You need three tournament performances of 2600+ rating(norms) and to have 2500 rating at at least one point

@matthewsteinmetz729 Ай бұрын

@Jordan-ud4qv is that norm calculated at the end, or do we have a running calculation through the current tournament?

@EmanCipated919 Ай бұрын

Yup, as the other comment says you need to have the norms + 2500 otb rating at some point. For this particular tournament I think Levy said he needs a +4 to get a GM norm

@smolmaninthepeakdistrict5069 Ай бұрын

Once you have the three norms of you ever get to 2500 you get the title, then you can’t lose it. In general the norms seem like the harder hurdle.

5:32 There, I think NxD4 sacrificing the knight is a good move, because the bishop can't take. If it does, It'll obviously be a fork of the two rooks. This gives black a good position, as they're either up a pawn or can win the trade with a rook. Am I right? Please correct me if I'm wrong 😄
