I STUNNED THE WORLD CHAMPION!!!!!!

Gotham on Youtube: 🤓👍🏽 Gotham on Twitch: 😤🤬😎

20:34 "of course, they look at the quality and they're like 'okay, he's fine'" These casual self-deprecating jokes being thrown outta nowhere make me feel Levy has enough comedian power to prepare a whole one hour stand-up show on chess.

Magnus Carlsen isn't mentioned in the first minute! Now that's character progression right there.

"They probably called Kramnik" - I died 🤣🤣🤣

8:04 "PP on the PP" 😨 8:06 "Put pressure on the pinned piece"

16:55 💯💯 Levy's whole attitude feels like it's different this time around on road to GM and I'm all here for

9:34 This is what exposure to Hikaru does to someone

16:55 "for now" - I really, really like that attitude! Not assuming they will be always better but actually giving yourself the chance and believe in yourself to get to their level of accuracy at some point of time seems like a really good (mental) development if you want to be GM at some point.

I know my comment will get buried, but I have a compliment for you, Gotham and I hope it finds you. I’ve watched you for 5 years now. You’re the reason I got into chess. I’m not great but I’ve climbed 800 ELO since watching your videos and buying your book. In these 5 years, I watched your fall… I saw the anxiety destroy you, I saw the games you were winning but lost from fear. I saw you quit. I saw the worst of you. But now?!? Seeing you rise and take control and change your thought process as you have? I’m so proud of you man. Like, it’s been such an incredible journey watching your growth these past 6 months. I have found myself not just rooting for you but blatantly excited for your success!! I couldn’t for the Spain recaps, I checked all throughout the day for the next uploads ! And now seeing how you dominate all the places you were weakest and seeing the changes in your games like this title Tuesday tournament. You’re an inspiration. Not just in chess, but in a greater way to show that your mind doesn’t have to be a cage. You can break out and find your victories. Congratulations on your recent successes and I look forward to when I can celebrate with you when you get that GM title!

@2:16 had me cracking up 😂. Despite being German he loved the French

This is honestly the best chess channel on the internet. Thank you.

Levy: "I'll put at the end the clip of me discovering who I was playing" The clip:

"He doesn't respect me as a human being, let alone as a chess player" Damn 😂

Very happy to see you pull off these results. Shows that you definitely have it in you to reach GM. Those were incredibly hard opponents and you held your ground. Proud of you Levy!

10:54 I saw Qf3 in 3 seconds and I tought « it was not that hard to find it » and then I realize you were having half of this time

That's a great mindset! Instead of being afraid of higher rated players, just play them! One day you'll beat them!

I friggin’ love Grishuk, not only as a player but as a man. The guy is one of the funniest and humblest guys in the top tier of chess players. And he is the hell of a player

Ending talk to us was really wholesome. You look so passionate and your love for the game is so clear. Levy got that fire in his belly again!

8:08 "can't take it cause I lose my king" Fr

24:19 "This feels like fighting a parent when your a 5 year old" Actually perfectly represented that position lol
