MAGNUS CARLSEN IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!

Last week: magnus 5000elo!!
Yesterday: magnus is done!
Today: magnus is back
Levy never fails to levy. More power to you.

04:25 "Why do I keep hanging pieces, whats wrong with me! I am playing like YOU GUYS " -Levy😭😭😭😭😭😭

Lucky to see the GOAT in action! 🔥

For future generations: The original title is: MAGNUS CARLSEN IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!

Ding didn't play today, buddy. It was his Italian cousin, Dino Liren

Honestly everything around this tournament has seemed so fun!
The competitors look to be enjoying themselves, interacting with each other while enjoying a game they probably love. The 10 minute strategy meetings are insightful and cooperative. Something I don't think could happen as naturally in the standard format. And they're using the confession booth, interacting with fans/acknowledging some of the craziness on the board.
I absolutely hope this catches on and we see more tournaments like this put together. But also part of me hopes 960 never becomes as prestigious, because the atmosphere of this tournament appears so refreshing, at least compared to the serious standard competitions we see all year.

"What is wrong with me. I keep hanging pieces. I'm playing like you guys." Haha the sneak roast I love it.

The front row is shuffled that made me laugh to hard 😂

@19:23 lol Levy becomes an alien when Magnus' queen went straight Qxh2!!

7:18 "King c3, king d2, nothing Black can do". Bro's got rhymes.

Magnus always shows up when the pressure is on. Anytime he loses a game all the dummies will speculate about his demise. He’s not going anywhere, he’s just getting interested again.

Levy: "Never punch down"
Also Levy: *Invents Guess the Elo and How to Lose at Chess*

Bro made 3-4 videos this year alone titled „Magnus is back“ as if he was ever gone.

I really hope this format catches on with event organisers. Three or four more Fischer Random events this year would be amazing.

Levon Aronian analyzing the wrong position, saying oops, oh well, and then completely crushing his opponent in a devastating attack is the most gigachad behavior

Just played a blitz game. I won a bishop with my queen. Diagonally..

When Levy makes videos where Magnus does something incredible, his voice is so filled with energy from start to finish

I love these recaps! You break the games down very well. I’m just a casual chess fan but I’m really enjoying this Freestyle Championship. It makes chess more interesting and fun to watch!

Levon sacrificed his preparation and threw his opponent completely out the window, gg man!

Seemingly semi final between Nodirbek and Magnus will be indeed interesting😮

Levy: DoNt PuNcH DoWn
*Proceeds to call me trash at chess*

I legitimately had to pause the video because I was laughing so hard at "the front row of pieces is shuffled as well" joke.

Man you make these chess tournaments fun, thank you for doing your thing !

This coverage is so sick. Yes its a 30m video but you crammed all those games in and somehow I don't feel shortchanged on any of them. Rapid fire analysis 🔥

Bro said in his short that no more Magnus and now 💀😂

Would just like to say thanks for always putting the magnus game first. I watch all of them usually but the magnus game gets me hyped

Freestyle Chess is so nice to watch.
Not only 10 move patterns

the problem with alireza is that he is too nervous....or as Magnus said " this guy is always way too nervous "

always liked levon's style and found it genius, that romantic approach. happy to see him finding more success in this format than regular chess.

Your analysis of the tournament has been super entertaining and interesting, I would really give a flying fuck about it tbh if it wasn't for your content so thanks you bro

He was never away!

The wildest part was watching their heart rates during the end game time scramble for the first time breaker. Magnus was sitting in the 80s with Alrieza over 120.

4:26 and here Levy broke all of us 🥲🥲

Gotta oil up Levy for every Magnus thumbnail+title

“Why do I keep hanging pieces, I’m playing like you guys” caught me off guard levy almost killed ur boy started choking on my cereal😭💀

Petition for Levy to shave his goatee and rock a moustache

I’m very happy for Levon, it’s been a while since I last saw him placing high in tournaments

25:32 Magnus steered to a position where the knight has to move.
Nf2 - black trades and gets opposition in a few moves.
Most other moves lose the knight.
Ne1 holds
Nb2 holds
Nb4 (followed by Bc5) is the only bad move that looks almost identical to Nb2 (followed by Bc1). Tablebases show DTZ 21 after Nb4.
So, three moves that look good, but one of the three is an imposter...

I like to think the pawns stay the same like queens pawn stays queens pawn.

Duo never fails to terrorize Levy in the background

Ding should give back his world title

"I'm playing like you guys!" 😂😂😂

The old guard absolutely schooled the young guns except chadbek.

levy never fails to magnus his carlsen

Novak Djokovic for the tiebreak master thumbail was a nice spot!!! Great video

Tbf i think the pawn shuffle joke is more humorous than every square on the E file being occupied

Applause for the man who can rattle off those very difficult names with ease.

Man Levon winning, completely trouncing his opponent after studying the wrong backrank arrangement is just legendary

Let’s see if he changes the title again.
My prediction “HE DOES IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!”

19:21 😂😂 what happen there

Levy couldn't even survive one video without mentioning Magnus in the title.

Levy never fails to farm Magnus

Hey Levy, thanks for uploading your content. As a college student your videos make my day better, and I also learn how to beat my friends at chess because of you.

It seems like magnus has a serious investment with alireza 😮

The front row is shuffled too!

The pawns are shuffled too

It'd be fun if Fischer Random also swapped pawns for other pieces

Dont mess with Zohan in a fight and Magnus in an endgame !

finally, my standup comedian career is taking off

In ding's game 8:28 , 4.Qc2 is technically a novelty

"Why do I keep hanging pieces, I'm playing like you guys!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

bro the roast 4:28

GothamChess videos on Magnus be like
"It's so over"
"HE'S SO BACK"

3:20 is that some kind of respect thing for chess? Or was Magnus memeing again lol

15:40 bro you've a playlist of 100 videos of punching down

"Playing like you guys"😭😭😭is crazyyy😂😂

15:39 how to avoid being cancelled on the internet ft levy rozman😂😂

Alternative title: Me yapping for half an hour

1:31 was so out of pocket dude 😂

Love the Fischer Random / Chess960 format!

4:25 i just play like you gues 😂😂😂😂❤

magnus is an alien sometimes he wants to show it sometimes he doesn't.

Levy, what is that little box thing on the wall above your door?

last shorts video : no more magnus vid
now : MAGNUS IS BACK (probably say that with the "THE ROOK!!!" tone)

Nordiberk going full Borg mode

There's a reason Magnus was late for breakfast today 👀 IYKYK

Congratulations, Levy! Now Magnus is back and you are Gothamchess again! The last video without Magnus, you were not Gothamchess! Amazing!

Levy: " no more Magnus Carlsen..."

Levi never fails to farm Magnus for content

you could've shown Magnus' Qb3 blunder at least in some detail, Bxc5 and it was apparently drawn

Magnus is like a guy who has mastered his favorite FPS on extreme difficulty to the point he can practically play it blindfolded. So he installs a crazy third-party mod from a suspicious website that randomly jacks with the mechanics. And suddenly, he has new life.

Gotta love the piece line on the e file. Shame that Levi's only source of income broke it.

Hey GotahmChess Can you include the booth footage when you bring it up?

"These guys don't touch their e pawns at all, g3 and then e5"

Vladamir has gone insane like Bobby Fischer

My man, I just watched the first 18 seconds and I have the best april fools plan for this channel:
1. Make a video where the whole intro while you talk, you dont ever lose eye contact or close your eyes.
or a more complicated idea:
2. make a video, where everytime you stare directly into the camera between sentences it pauses/slows down the footage and maybe even you use an AI to just apply a slight filter to your video where you dont blink as well
Love your intros and intimidating stares of silence, and of course your content especially the current wave of chess 960 👌

He can’t keep getting away with this

"Why do I keep hanging pieces? I'm playing like you guys!"
Ow. Not wrong, but ow. That one stung (because it's more true than I would like)

Levy fails because he is human just like us. But Levy always holds his head high and keeps moving forward. Much love gotham

we're back to obsession with magnus

Sometimes it almost appears that Magnus doesn't really care about openings or mid - he just wants to take them into his lair - the end game.

I'm glad when freestyle tournament is over - not watching this videos because I don't want to poisen my mind 🤣

Impressive tongue twister @ 20:35

"Playing like u guys" i dont see ur Grandmaster Title which makes u different from us

Do you think Levy keeps sine waving magnus back and forth like this on purpose?
Levy, that's the 5th time this week you've said Magnus is finished, then back

Bro thinks he's gothem chess

This Magnus Carlston guy should be very happy that levy chose to promote him

7:38 The importance of good UX design is expressed better than I could ever explain it. Developers should pay attention. Designers aren't crazy, they just understand what Levy experienced here as a "UX Bug" lol.

"I'm playing like you guys!"... fair.

I hope ding is at least having fun, it aint easy to play chess with all the pressure of being world champ
