Levi's first millisecond stare was better than most I shall say

Magnus drawing an endgame against a grand master two pawns down in a rook endgame is just insane.

Congrats on the 4million, Levy. Well-deserved.

The way Magnus has been playing lately, he seems pretty determined to get to that 3000 ELO mark.

You know it’s going to be a good day when it’s a half hour long Gotham video.

Thank you levy for bringing up this Cagnus Marlsen guy, he seems like he could possibly challenge Ling diren one day and possibly become the champ!

@27:59 - when Magnus takes the 8th piece on the board, the board is left with only 7 pieces, at which point the endgame tablebase kicks in and the evaluation bar can no longer be anywhere but the center of the evaluation bar (for a draw) or the exact top or bottom of the evaluation bar (for a win.) And that seems to be what happens. All boards with 7 or fewer pieces has been exhaustively enumerated and there is no longer any uncertainty (but this requires 150 terabytes of data for 423,836,835,667,331 positions). Computers are currently working on a new tablebase that will include any combination of 8 pieces, which is estimated to require 2 petabytes of storage for 38,176,306,877,748,245 positions.

You could give me 24 hours to find that double knight sac and I dont think I would, absolutely insane that he found that.

Levi might not deliver, but he's always pregnant.

Levy's commentary starting 25:12 after giving the "Defense" speech is just topnotch. Amazing. Really makes Levy the most entertaining in youtube Chess commentary. Congrats on the 4million!

Congrats on 4 mil subs Levi! Truly a pillar in the chess community.Sending love from Switzerland🙌

The way Levi describes these games is like commentating an epic fight. He keeps you on the edge of your seat, but somehow still uses references to keep viewers of all chess levels present and interested. A true way with words and emotion. 4 Mil well deserved my friend 🙏🏼 Keep up the great videos and commentary ❤

I wonder if there is going to be anyone better than magnus ever in the future. He rose the bar too high

I just got number 1 in a kind of national tournament and it is all because of your daily devotion. Thank you for that.

Great recap by Revy Lozman as always

4M is a shocking number, but very well deserved. Didn't realize how much the chess community has grown. The grind pays off

congrats on the 4M. You deserve it.

Congratulations on inventing a new word, truly a huge moment and I'm glad I was participatory in it

Anytime I click on a Magnus video I always look at the view count to make sure these videos are doing well so Levy keeps making them

Great job on the changing contrast to the board when going down different lines. Helps a lot!

I really enjoyed the sophisticated commentary at 6:57, truly showcases the level of comprehension gotham has for the game of chess.

congratulations levy you deserve more than this your videos really make my day better everyday your videos brighten my day no matter how its going so really thank you so much

"It's my birthday and I'm allowed to poop on floor" -levy 2023

Congrats for 4 million levy 🎉🥂

I remember like 500 000 and less and prefering Agadmator. But GTE is just so unique that I watched every episode. Congratulations to 4 M.

That queen A5 move is actually common in the Czech Pirc defense. His g3 modification to allow for a fianchetto'd bishop made it all that much more powerful

Second game looks like Morphy with bishops on d3 and e3

Bro thinks he's Hikaru by wearing that shirt...

Congrats to Levy...4mil subs, n props to us too who were there from the very beginning

Love your your videos they are very funny and they teach me a lot. Congrats on 4 mil I hope you reach 5 mil and defiantly keep on uploading these entertaining videos!

I actually think this was Magnus's prep, because on lichess, all the moves were already analyzed by the cloud engine up 'til be6.

It's inspiring to see Gotham giving attention to these small lower rated chess players and teaching them through his videos

Levi, your fandom of Magnus is contagious 😄 Love to see it.

the first game opening is kind of pirc defense czech variation, pinning the knight to the king.

i love the sound at 18:08, it sounds like world war 2 with the pieces rewinding

congrats on 4m levy :) youve done so much for the beautiful game

I just had a miserable day and this is so healing 🙂 Every single time, nothing is more healing than Levy breaking down a Magnus game. Keep it up, I really appreciate it.

What i love about magnus carlsen is that he knows chess isnt just about calculation, center control, rerouting, chess is a mind game, playing sidelines and taking enemies out of their comfort zone is just an amazing strategy Congrats on 4 Mil subs Levy!

gotham, can you make a short video about a chess calendar. meaning, how to keep up on upcoming chess tournaments throughout the year where our favourite and top players participate. Reason I'm asking for this is i tried to google this but didn't really understand anything. Since you explain everything to your audience in an easy manner, it will be a great help

Congratulations for your recent success, Levy, I'm really proud of you and the content you provide to all of us

Gotham is finally not held hostage, congrats for making it out alive!

“It’s my birthday, so I’m allowed to poop on the floor” -Levy Rozman, 2023 AD

seeing that double knight sacrifice is insane

The stare today was 100% Accurate. I'm not usually here for meme comments, but here we are. And congrats on 4mill subs, Levy! Certainly well deserved.

Congrats Levy for hitting 4 mil subs - I subbed pretty recently but I've thoroughly enjoyed every video and your humour!

Your commentating on the last game was like listening to a boxing match.😂 Love this channel. Congratulations on 4 million 🎉

As a 500 rated player, I say Magnus' formation looked like Pirc defense, I've seen it in a shorts before 🥸🥸🥸

Congratulations on 4 mill Levy, you really deserve it!

I never knew chess could be this exciting, thanks to the sideline commentating from Levy! In fact I think chess like this is as exciting if not more, than a football/soccer game. But one needs a genius to point out the genius moves from the grand master!

That was madness, he surely has a Karpov style of play but those knight sacrifices reminded me of Tal and Kasparov a lot

1:09 the most genuine "thank you" ive heard online 😭💚

Levy: This is some CRAZY stuff! Stockfish:

Magnus: 𝒎𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒔𝒍𝒊𝒑 Levy: Absolutely brilliant!

Levy you are truly the best amongs all chess narrators. Listening to you Is just like reading Alexandre Dumas "The Three Musketeers". Such passion, such accuracy narrating the actions and the calmness of the tought process. I mean. I hate to tell someone he/she Is the best because, you know, it's a matter of personal opinion but man, you are outstanding. I love the way you talk. I feel like i'm in the zone.

Four million subs man, congrats seriously, you deserve it. I watch your 1. e4 rating climb and hearing you had less than 80k followers on some platforms in those videos is wild, especially seeing your channel today. Good for you Levy, thanks for everything, I wish you, and the wifey, and doggo, the best in this life

Props to the kidnapper on giving Levy a nice shirt as a gift

Magnus may not be Stockfish, but he will always play the top engine move!

Glad to be 1 of 4 million! Keep it rolling Levy!

Either a mouse slip or completely brilliant 😂😂😂😂 I've been there 😂😂😂

I was actually curious how the maroczy bind was spelled whenever you said it so thank you

Thanks levy for the amazing content you make for us!

Congrats on 4 mil❤ cant wait to be stared at uncomfortably for the next many years!

Nordibeck deserves props too for that last game, his future looks promising

levy saying "He just doesn't frickin lose" had me smiling and playing thrilling music in my head.

Gotham is worth the 4 million subs since he had such a particiatory role in online chess teaching

Magnus is the G.O.A.T .

That first match Magnus played the Pirc sideline I learned to play when I picked up that opening, it's the Czech Pirc.

"I've never seen Queen a5 check" Me everytime I get the chance: me too

Goffam Chess

If Hans gets 100% he is a cheater. If Magnus gets 100% he is a hero.

Make a video about eduardo iturrizaga! I love the spansih commentary when he was winning!

Levy, the Maroczy bind is named after the Hungarian player Geza Maroczy.

Magnus Carlsen may be the best chess player in the world, but Levy is the best chess streamer there is! Congrats on 4 million! Keep bringing chess to the people.

Levy is literally the best chess teacher he only thought me chess and now I'm 2500😊

Leelachesszero played queen a4 in the grunfeld

I usually not watch any chess game analysis as i find other ppl’s boring on how they explain stuffs. But when I saw your vids, I just realize that I finish a 30mins video w/o getting bored. I’m one of your subscriber now.

A wonderful stare for your first video with 4 million subs. Incredible work, we're all very proud of our favorite Chess content creator.

As chess I can confirm that I was played perfectly by magnus

Magnus solved chess before Stockfish could

The kidnapper really taking good care of Levy.

Very kind of Levy to give Magnum Carlos his 30 minutes of fame.

Levy's shirts are getting worse and worse

Sir Levi that "here or here or here or here or here" stuff is what what that old nice guy Sir GM Yasser Serirwan called the massaging of the sqruares.

@ 17:00 when a rook is worth a knight. Knights are chaotic when a queen is involved.

Todays stare is like a cry for help followed with a reslisation that there is no hope for him. Truly existential. 10/10

truly 100% accuracy

Magnus - *mouse lips* Levy - a brilliant move by Magnus

Normal Player: I lost both knights, i am gonna resign Magnus: Who needs knights anyway?

Props to the hostage keeper for sacrificing “THE TANK TOP” and giving Levy the Shirt

Magnus has showed a masterclass example of when to break chess principles strategically.

Levy you should start a chess podcast!!! It would be so perfect bro

Gotham 2025: Magnus next move is disgusting. Also Gotham: That's why he's the best player in the world.

16:08 was hilarious!

An avalanche created by 2 horses, love it.

There is the name in German chess Der Geier. Some 2500 stuff very affective as a surprise and the same ideas as in king's indian defense

Noijderbek goes rook a4 A very, NICE move

Carlos magnusen really outdid himself this time

not sure if the maroczy bind is by now an adopted term in english with its own english pronunciation, but in hungarian 'cz' is just a single sound. they would pronounce it like a russian would pronounce ''maroci''. (giving the russian pronunciation since levi speaks russian).

Congratulations on the 4 million! I am from Brazil and enjoy a lot your videos.

Magnus plays some sort of czech pirc and turns into an aggressive opening.
