Slowly realizing Levy is a clown

Levy never fails to pronounce “Karlsruhe” in the most wrong way possible

When Magnus trades his valuable attacking piece, he is removing a defender of his opponent's king but when I do it I am a bozo.

"chess is a silent debate of who's the bigger idiot"

as a german, thats absolutly not the way you pronunce karlsruhe haha

Magnus never fails to include Levi in his videos

Bro really said "strongest player of today vs strongest player of all time"

Glad to see Ding back in good shape.

It's always fascinating to see how the board changes over the course of the game. Looking forward to more deep dives on chess games, especially featuring more of Magnus and Ding.

the city Karlsruhe is actually pronounced a bit different: with a "soft" h like in "hint" AND the e at the end is spoken too -> kinda like [Karls_ruu_e] greetings from Baden😉

Ding throws in a Zwischenzug. They're in Germany of course😂

12:43 is when Levy reminds us of the good old days.

Levy never fails to glaze Magnus

Levi's pain is visible when he says magnus is no longer the world champion 😂

10:02 and he plays the ZWISCHENZUGGGG!!! Had to listen to it three times to get it. Love from Germany for all your content

Rg2 was explained by Hikaru in his recap. He said that it was a very nice idea to shift the attack to the queen side

Like if levy should start an OF

Good to see ding back with these fights... This gives me hope that he wont give up the world champion title that easily... ❤️❤️

Gosh darn it, Levy, I'm here to hear you yell "THE ROOK"!

“Magnus takes en passant because, its forced” 😂😂

I love to hear you try to explain the world champion and magnus situation

"Chess is a silent debate over who is the bigger idiot.." Is on par with "Chess is the art that expresses the science of logic.." when talking about the greatest chess quotes of all time.

really love your video.. nice format very easy to understand no nonsense... nice intro aswell.. very relaxing and non stressful because its chess and i tell my brain that it is not that bad... thus very helpful.. i have my entrance exam on 5th so nice breaks in the form of your videos thanks..

levy your mancrush on magnus is so genuine it makes me smile.

I suggest you to make a history deep dive of Sultan Khan. In an international career of less than 5 years, he won the British Championship 3 times and even beat Capablanca.

The Strongest chess player in history vs the strongest chess player in modern day

you said chess is like a debate right, so Magnus built a better rapport than Rapport in Rapport's rapport of magnus's response to Rapport's rapport? i'll resign in all future positions regardless of opening move until i'm rated 0 ELO and show myself out the back

15-45 minute chess is the most elite time control 🗿 It sits perfectly between not spamming dumb moves and waiting 1h for your opponent to move

I see gotham's new video at 1 am. I watch for 10 mins. I sleep

Magnus never fails to be the world chess champion

I think this is the kind of chess we need to see for the WCC. A “fast” classical game could be a compromise to a more marketable game while keeping the same quality and similar length of game seen previously with the 90 min format. Then, a transition to tie breaker rapid wouldn’t be such a huge jump in time controls

Levy never fails to make recap when two world champion play chess

Glad to see Ding making a comeback. Hate to see champions fail.

13:15 sorry to inform you, as far as chess goes, I was demoted from bozo to nincompoop

“Chess is not all that difficult “ Levy while he has not become a GM. Chess is ***** Hard af imho. I 😂 so hard at the 400-700 games he covers bc I’m “that guy” making 6 blunders straight thinking I’m at 80% plus accuracy till I see it’s 41%…

Glad to see ding playing well again

27:35 Only an obnoxious person would obliviously crack his fingers into the microphone like that. So annoying. In the tranquil embrace of the forest, our family's annual camping trips were a sanctuary of laughter and warmth. But amidst the crackling fire and whispered secrets, an unwelcome intrusion shattered the serenity. My cousin, Mark, possessed a peculiar habit ‒ cracking his fingers with unabashed glee. Each snap echoed through the stillness, like sharp cracks in the delicate fabric of our peaceful night. With each pop, my skin prickled with discomfort, as if the very air recoiled at the intrusion. I mustered the courage to speak, pleading with Mark to cease his unsettling symphony. Yet, he dismissed my plea with a careless shrug, his laughter drowning out my unease. Oblivious to the disquiet he stirred, he continued, each crack intensifying my discomfort. As the years unfolded, the memory persisted like an unwelcome guest, refusing to fade into oblivion. The sound of cracking fingers haunted my thoughts, evoking a visceral reaction that I struggled to suppress. The memory became a shadow, a constant reminder of that unsettling night by the campfire. Though time has softened the edges of that memory, the discomfort lingers ‒ an echo of childhood aversion etched into the very core of my being. Reflecting on that discomfort now, I am compelled to make a heartfelt plea: let us be mindful of the sounds we create. For in our pursuit of personal joy, we may unknowingly inflict discomfort upon others. Let empathy guide our actions, sparing others from the echoes of discomfort that linger long after the sound fades.

Levy never fails to give crown to magnus

i love Levys video s he explan the ideas so even i can undestand them !

The Grenke Open and Classic was a magnificent Tournament. I was there playing the c-open (c is for chaos :D) while watching the classic that happened at the same time in parallel. If you have the chance come by next year.

Every like this comment gets I'll run 1 kilometers

Title should be " World Champion vs Goat ".

I agree about the knight fact you stated at the end of the video. Somehow the wording is very mysterious and spooky to me, "the black knight wanders over to that side and frequently gets lost in the position." Somehow the fact that Magnus can just... TELL that that's going to happen and the fact that it's so random yet so predictable is kind of spooky to me. I'm not explaining myself well.

Pretty cool last game cause Rapport was Ding’s second at the championship

From Karlsruhe to: Kar LS RuCH!! 🤣

Levy never fails to call his viewers bozos 😅

The only reason ding became a world champ is because magnus didn't go to the tournament.

If you plan to cover more games from Grenke, Arjun Erigeisi played an insane game in the open against a 12-year old kid that went on for 136 moves and the kid (rated hundreds of points lower than the world number 9!!) drew him! Because everyone else in the open was finished, we all just stood there, hundreds of people watching this game, and when they shook hands everyone applauded. It was something I've rarely experienced in a tournament. And a super crazy game at that.

DING CHILLIN!!!!!

Can't believe the world champion won

Me, knowing how Ding has been playing: please make it close Me after knowing it was a 45min match: oh god he definitely didn't

I loveeee your chess content so much. I always watch your videos 2 times. Amazing chess content

I bet the world champion will win

Ding is obviously still a strong player, and is improving compared to the start of this year. It will be interesting to see if he improves enough to defend his title.

“Chess … is not all that difficult” had me laughing in funny and in sad

I love this channel. It is always relaxing after a day of work to relax and watch chess.

Im so happy cause i played my first brilliant move against a 700 elo Ai Bot

It's better to accept that it doesn't matter if Levy praises Magnus or not, because Magnus is always the best of the best

when Levy asked which piece was activated, I screamed THE ROOK!

I live just down the road from Karlsruhe. I was gutted when I heard this match happened and I missed it. Would have been great to watch the world champ by proxy against the undefeated world champ.

I learn from videos like these more than my chess classes

As a German, I can say your pronunciation of "Karlsruhe" was the funniest thing I've heard in a while. :-)

Levy never fails to involve Magnus

Oh no, I'm a bozo - A stupid, foolish, or ridiculous person

I'm surprised by levy not quitting chess

"Most of you qualify for that status"😂😂😂😂

Nice to see Ding refuting the haters

Levy's fans lever fail to make levy never fails to glaze magnus comments

5:12 who ordered a yappuchino?!?!!💀💀💀

The final game shows the gap between a 2720 rated SGM and world champion level players

"click bait has multiple forms"😂😂

I don’t think Magnus not being the world champ of classical while being #1 is a big deal. In a lot of sports the best player doesn’t always win the champ. Ik in this case it’s bc Magnus didn’t play but still. Not that crazy

Karlsruhe pronunciation tutorial: Karls -> Carls ru -> take the ru from rude he -> take the he fromhesitation Now just heavily lean on CARLS and you are fine :)

Levy never fails to edit magnus in his thumbnail

Happy to see ding returning to form❤❤

ding is the worst thing that happened to chess, a world champion that is good at losing games.

Magnus solos

any Magnus theme comes up in chess automatically Levy: today we eat🥵

Was about to close the video until I saw it was Rapport, absolutely love his playing style, personal favorite since the 2022 candidates.

every like i play a chess game

Every likes this comment gets,,ill do 1 backflip

Love to see Benoni being played a lot here. I like that opening.

It was so strange, remember playing chess sometimes and watching some games maybe a thousand people watched then OMG 2019 people started playing chess

Levy trying to explain world chess champion is the funniest thing😂❤

Love this vid. Goth, you're back!

I really enjoy this time format compared to the long one

27:06 Why u gotta call me out like that lee-vauie

“Look at this anchorage…Alaska.” 😂🤙

for me as a german hearing levi trying to speek german is the best thing ever😂

Ding to Magnus:- I'm WC as u didn't played Magnus:You are the WC bcause I didn't played!!!!!

Similar to how boxing has tittles for weight classes, chess should too for time control

I think 45 min per player is a decent format for the audience and have no idea why it's not used more often. You don't get these endless stretches of dead time when no move is being made in the more typical classical chess games and sometimes you simply don't have several hours to spare, but it's still not as sloppy as rapid chess can sometimes be.

Hey Gotham I just want to say this since I haven't said it yet. I have been watching channel for about two years and you are the one that inspired me to start playing chess a lot by making it fun. I just want to tell you how much I appreciate that and hope you have a blessed day man. Love the content ❤️

Levy stopping his inner demons from making Magnus video every day

Great Commentary Levy really enjoyed the games a lot along with your explanation of moves and the wit that you use Entertaining enjoy your day

Current world champion plays Magnus and drew. What a game by Ding 😂

yknow its pretty valuable to Ding everytime he doesnt lose to Magnus his title solidifies

That anchorage alaska scared me

You didn't tell me the bonus game was a freaking Rapport game! 👍👍👍

Its strange to see magnus in the 2820s like feels like hes dropping off
