If 2300 is international master, 2500 is grandmaster, 2700 is super grandmaster, and Magnus was once 2882, does this mean Magnus was almost a super duper grandmaster?
Nah it makes him the world's best player
2300 is fide master and 2400 is international master
He almost went further beyond AAAAAAAHHHH!!!
+2800 is best in the world

When I started playing, I saw chess as a strategic, tactical game but the more I learn about chess the more I think it's a memory game.
It is. Just the greatest memory game of all.
Only the openings involve "remembering" stuff.
It’s memory in the opening and mid game, but pure strategy at the endgame I would say.
Really just the opening and a bit of the middlegame
memorization is why Bobby Fischer said he hated chess.
Life goal: watch Levy talk about chess at 102 years of age.
Easy
I'll join you in this quest
Watch Levy talk about Magnus at 102 years.

Tho rephrase that: Watch Levy not be a GM at 102 years of age
Can we appreciate Magnus for continuing to playing chess so that Levi can continue his job?

This video reminded me of just how good Levy is at genuinely analyzing a chess game. Through most of his videos, we get to see his entertaining side, which is fine, but occasionally, it's great to see him do a 30-minute deep dive into one chess game. Hope he does this more, and for really interesting tournaments like the ECCC.
Agree

@@FlagerMiszczso you wouldve been able to explain why trading off the bishops was the one thing that tipped the scales in magnus favor 25 moves later? Doubt it
I second that. My least favorite Gotham series is the "Guess the Elo" watching patzers play. I'm 2100 (on LiChess).

Can we just take a moment and give props to Ravi. Man played an over an hour against Magnus and had an equal position.
I love how super Grandmaster isn't official, but everyone knows what it is
Or we can say who is it!
For decades, grandmaster and master weren't official, but everyone knew what they were.
At this point we even need a title above that, MGM Magnus Grand Master. He's the only person in history to maintain a rating above 2800 this long.
@@theaxehandle1 Just name em, GM-1(Grandmaster-1), GM-2(Grandmaster-2) and even beyond that is GM-3(Grandmaster-3). And beyond that would be GM-G(Grandmaster-God), then even beyond that would be GM-B(Grandmaster-Blue).
As someone who guessed Bb1 correctly I consider myself the second greatest player after Magnus. Also I am 800 rated.
Sure only possible problem is that we would hang a Queen after knight takes pawn on e5.
I think that if anyone could find a way to hang a queen on move 1, it would be an 800. (I'm currently like 1150 in rapid, BTW)
@@tannerbenson7864 I don't think any rating under 1200-1300 is accurate. Like I played 1000's that play better than 1250's because it's complete chaos here. 1300+ is when people stop doing stupid mistakes
Ah yes, I too suffer from the dunning Kruger effect
I saw it too but when Ravi moved pawn h6 I realized I still have no idea what to follow that up with
That you manage to keep me entertained for 30minutes watching magnus play a game vs a 2500 is more impressive than this game

Levy, can u pls keep this sort of content coming? A more in depth analysis of just a game or two. This is where I learn the most from you. Even if it's not just Magnus, this is the type of content i love most from ur channel. And probably the most informative in terms of learning chess (for me at least)
Your last video on this same topic is one of my favorites of yours--I'm so glad to see another! Thank you Levy, these are always some of the most instructive games
Levy's British accent is surprisingly fantastic, coming from a Brit
As a 25 elo player I can confirm that Magnet destroyed me in chess
Is Magnet the Magnus of tinfoil elo?
Magnet Charleston
WOW! This might just be your best game analysis till now Levy. Very instructional and very entertaining! I follow you for nearly two years now and you keep improving. Well done buddy!
chiming in to say that i rarely watch chess videos, but the title kind of hooked me. the way you prefaced the game and got to the first few moves with stats such as "the last time magnus played this opening was 19 years ago" was definitely intriguing. once you got me to rook a to e1 i was done for. i was kind of expecting a video of a broader look at chess ratings, but you successfully kept my attention through what ended up being a somewhat normal style chess analysis video. huge props man for being able to do that
Weird stumpling on a chess video as i never watch or play any of it. Even weirder to recognize someone it the comments
This guy knows how to make chess suspenseful
LOKI
@@sortakindaunique it’s a pleasure and an honor 🙏
Magnus immediately plays Nc3... but first he castles
As an 1800 im starting to appreciate Magnus's universalstyle very much. He was Garry(Re1) + Karpov(prophylactic a3) + Fischer(aggressive g4 after since he had a tempo)
What did I learn? That I know nothing.
The move at 9:48 was just peak Magnus. This shows why he's the GOAT
And levy's explanation was also good
The psychic damage incurred that forced the junk into the eye was indeed a move unseen in the chess world
I'm also on my quest to become a grandmaster. I started playing only 2 years ago during the pandemic and I'm already 800! My future is surely bright.
400 per year, in 10 years you'll be 4000. That's how extrapolations work, right?
well, that's actually brilliant, you got 800! elo, which is around 7.7153×10¹⁹⁷⁶
Yo will become one of the best players in 7 years . In 9 years you will be unstoppable
Guys wish me luck, another guy blundered his queen and I'm at 874!
Me started chess one year ago and reached 900: 👁️👄👁️

Nah we would because of the iconic "THE ROOOOOOK!"
Nice joke
@@Mpatlauthe rook meme began in 2022 fide rapid championship, he was very famous for GTE series
ik gotham bcz of batman not magnus...
Wrong! If not Levy, nobody would know Magnus.
I really like these longer analyses of single games
You took the piss about watching chess in a bar with the commentary. But thats how i feel in love with chess again. It was tata steel 2020 (i think) , in lockdown thanks to covid. The commentary for the games was fascinating, that sort of deep dive you did while the players took 20mins for a move. With the right commentator team it can be so fun to watch.
It is exactly as you said Levy: understand where the pawn breakthroughs are, to induce specific ideas, because after it happens, the strategy becomes something else.
the little Qe3 shift is beautiful. just casually stepping out of any tactics while deflecting opponent's queen back to the queen side, which then enables the king side attack.
Chess actually is televised in Norway. Most big tournaments that Magnus participates in
Hvilken kanal?

Thank you for showing the eval bar with your cursor. Been watching you for a few years now and you comment on the eval a lot, but I never knew where you were getting the info. I always thought that was just a border of the display, did not know it actually moved.
Infinity VS 2500:- There is a difference
Chess is a great sport to watch after the match and hear game analysis, that's why chess organizers and those profiting from it need to think differently than normal sports. As Levy said, nobody is going to set hour and a half spectating a match of chess, but so many people are watching streamers analyzing games. They need to think outside the box, without ruining classical chess either wither by just blitzing the game or doing anything crazy!!
After Qatar Masters results that you're covering this past week, feels like there could be a follow-up to this regarding current 2500 that haven't had a lot of opportunity post/during covid to face the top talent. It's been fascinating and thanks for the content!
The only man who entertains for 30 min. Straight with no down sides, with chess knowledge.... Its still a dream for many other youtubers
Sometimes without a cut, wich is true mastery!
I love that word "alien" to describe some of Magnus's moves. Moves that are incomprehensible, otherworldly, and counterintuitive, but with deep and powerful logic underpinning them. That he can find correct moves this weird and subtle is a monument to his chess abilities.
I don't think anyone over 2700 maybe 2800 needs a unique title. There's only really a handful of people in the world with those super high ratings and they're already known by name. A new title would be superfluous for them.
I Absolutely love how Levy explains chess games and presents everything
There should definitely be a new highest ranking title or a completely new system for titles since gm was created in 1950 and there has been a massive rating increase since that year
Alagash white is one of my favorite beers and, if it were available, I would definitely watch classical chess at a sports bar 😂
Levy's ability to predict Magnus' moves is absolutely spot on. He really has super GM qualities...🤫
Not sure if you're joking, but he knows the moves ahead of time...
He didn't predict, he already knew.
@Tidbit0123 yeah...sarcasm can be lost over text unfortunately. I just really lol'd when he said he 'thinks' he figured out Magnus' game plan when he made the re1 move...and then sure enough the bishop move comes right after his 'theory' lmao.
@Keya_ of course he already knew but that's not how he presented it.
@@mydogniko I think he was more referring to the why, not the what in that case. But yeah I can understand what you mean
Love when you give a deeper analysis of the games 🙌🏽
and when you turn the eval bar off 🙌🏽
Levy, please one day make a video of Tromposky games!!! Your London/ Tromposky course was extremely well done. ❤❤❤❤❤
Never seen a chess breakdown like this. Love your enthusiasm. Keep up the good work!
A monologue doesn’t break the fourth wall until the audience is explicitly acknowledged. Not all YT videos do that
Fun fact:this guy is not possible without magson
This also applies to martial arts. There are black belt jiu jitsu practitioners who trains casually and eventually they get a black belt and professionals who trains for a living. They are both on paper black belts but when they roll it looks like one of them is a beginner.
Id like to see Levy dissect some of his OTB games on his quest to be a GM
He's done that when he played in tournaments a few years ago.
Really wanting an episode of Levy doing the British commentary voice 😂😂
Magnus: Is 200+ Points Elo higher than opponent. Rare Openings: Unlocked
Thank you so much for a very interesting analysis of this game - enjoyed every minute of it.
Can we just appreciate how levy is so good at impressions
14:44 Do it again, Do it again 😂. Please in next video
as a brit ur gravely northern english accent is starting to grow on me, you've improved so much, keep it up
Magus put some dirt in your eyes before playing his next move.
I think 10-15 minute games with the top three stockfish moves constantly at the bottom would be nice. Then the commentators could explain why those crazy moves work
Absolute masterclass in how to make engaging videos thanks, Levy 😁😁

Very interesting. SGM should be a valid title. Anyone crossing 2700 perhaps, like Nihal Sarin just did.
Or 2750
Or 2701

I love when, levy puts of the eval(though at every move I see it react) and let us spectate the game as true story, unknowing territory and unclear when the plot twist happens, just his guffy fun commentary to guide and wait..!😁
I love how levy was talking about why magnus played rae1 like a grandmaster
The mindgames here are insane: - The fake pawn push with the double rooks while actually just setting a roadblock of the pawns to coax a desperate sacrifice at some point - The fakeout with the queen and rook to the left to make it look like his real plan was to shift to infiltrate into black's ranks starting with the queen and then barreling with the rook and bishop, purposely keeping his own queen also on the dark squares to sell it. I wonder if Magnus had kept those fakes as potential real options or if he was deadset on the bishop/queen threat. That knight guarding all the key dark squares worked so perfectly, knowing Ravi's queen was going to act as a dark bishop, but simultaneously it would only take one move to get the knight to attacking some light squares in Ravi's ranks. Same with the bishop just one move from targeting any light squares... Magnus probably kept all options viable on purpose... such incredible precision...
Levi is really milking this Mango guy 🥭 🥛
I think Super GM is already a pretty accepted term. For the past 15 or 20 years, 2700 has been the line between GM and Super GM to most chess fans, I think.
There is something so satisfying about seeing someone that would curb stomp you at your favorite game get curb stomped. Ravi would curb stomp Levi, Levi would curb stomp me, we all can agree we will be curb stomped by Magnus.

Hey man, I’m trying to improve my chess skills and I think I’ve improved a lot by playing, doing puzzles and watching your videos. I also try to play against bots for practice. I can beat all the intermediate bots fairly easily but as soon as I move to Antonio I can’t seem to do anything so win. I’ve only gotten close to beating him twice and he manages to destroy me in the end game. Any tips on how to get past this hurdle?
0:02 is a legendary line
@7:40 when you talk about repelling the queen side forces, its pretty obvious to me at least that magnus wants the queen on the queen side. its much harder to attack his king on the other side. its a tactic that beginning knight had been up to the entire time. he controls the g5 h4 squares ensuring the only route for queen is on queen side.
The difference is levy not getting any views 💀
Of all the chess KZheadrs out there, Levy is definitely my favourite food blogger.

14:43 petition for levy to make one whole episode with this character
question about the standards is what should it represent? That's hard to measure. Is it being a certain percentile of participants? Is it being a certain numeric standard? Well that's hard because its well known that ELO drifts based upon new entrants. If the participation rate isn't through the roof then it does appear GM oversaturation is a thing and so it is on the ratings organizations to raise the standards.
