    Thank you WIRED! Hope you all enjoyed the episode 😊
  • @ZuiVeemo
    Twitter: How do I get GM? Levy: I guide others to a treasure I cannot possess
  • @abhiplayz2933
    2:04 "Magnus has an incredible stamina. He will go on for 5, 6, 7 hours." is a statement easily taken out of context.
  • when levy was talking about cheating and said “or elsewhere” bro that smile he knew exactly what he was doing
  • @TS6815
    As a 900, Levy going 16 minutes without calling me a bozo is the best Christmas present I could ever have asked for -- thanks Wired!
  • “[Some cheaters] have had vibrating devices in their shoe or elsewhere” Very glad to hear Levy snuck this little gem of a backdoor reference.
  • @MeboDotExe
    it’s so weird seeing levy so calmly talk about chess after so much of him calling people bozos in funny accents
  • @qpoo0qp
    I have rarely in my life seen someone answers questions so clearly and directly. I don't believe there is a better way to answer these questions. Very articulate man
  • @WallScreamer
    That little smile at 2:54 when he said "...or elsewhere." He wasn't going to say it, but he was thinking it. We all were.
  • @fuego1811
    This recent recognition and inclusion of Levy in other big channels truly brings a smile on my face
  • @bob24735
    One thing I love about chess is that when you lose it isn’t because you were unlucky, it was because you made a mistake somewhere. That causes you to learn what your mistake was and improve
  • @witmoreluke
    Lol love that Contrapoints had a question about "theory" 🤣 props to whoever chose that question, it's very on-brand
  • "Magnus has an amazing stamina, he can go for 6-7 hours at a time and can squeeze water out of the rock in many positions" -- Levy Rozman, 2022
  • @TheYousif
    Fun fact: Shah is usually head of the village or a king, while "mat" translates to died, so checkmate means "your king is dead"
  • @gustavoalfaro1245
    Great to see his cyborg mode being activated after he reads questions about chess puzzles. Everything goes smooth and articulate in his speech and then goes "yeah, I solved it." You can see the chess machine-glare in his eyes when he says that. 😆
  • @reothered
    Levy solving the puzzles before he finishes his sentence is so funny to me
  • @ducc9816
    2:50 "Or elsewhere," Levy said with the faintest chuckle.
  • @chriszhang1660
    Levy: chess openings are named after places or people Hikaru: allow me to introduce… THE BONGCLOUD
