    the first guy really missed the point of the questioning

    After this I'd like to believe chess players have a history of shoplifting as a kid…Beth Harmon did it, and she ain't even real lol

    God I hate the lie detector trend. Peoples lives have been ruined by juries that think this is actual science.

    The top male and female commentators πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰

    I feel bad for not liking Gotham chess I guess I’m just a hater

    incredible cinematic b roll intro, liked 5seconds in

    Love playing chess and watching Magnus playing with Hikaru (huge fan of Gotham chess!)

    I’ve looked up to Danny since he was Antonio.

    Very funny that they accused Hans and were just completely btfo'd on it

    I'm pretty sure that's not how lie detectors work.

    For a noob like me, it would be helpful to write down both of their names since I only know Gotham Chess

    Bottom line: We've all stolen something as kids, we all pee in the shower as adults, and at least half of the males on this thread β€” and some of the females β€” have beaten the bishop over the Botez sisters. Great video. The Magnus/Howell episode is even better.

    "are you about to take a lie detector test"
    "yes"
    "is that true?"
    tester: "yes"
    "i guess he had to yes otherwise that would be … " 🀣🀣🀣

    Levy, own the fact of how insanely influential you are

    "Do you currently feel like you're being held against your will?"
    "Can you play rook takes pawn?"

    Levy thinks he's the most influential person in chess history?

    It's an interesting thought. Some people would scoff at it but it could definitely be argued. Levy is an absolutely huge figure in modern chess.

    But ig chess was more popular back in the Fischer era so maybe it's him. Or it's just magnus.

    When levy said that he wasnt jealous of anyone and the lie detector said it was a lie. The reason for that is because as humans, when we metacognitively analyse ourselves we tend to conflate the subconscious and the conscious thoughts. So someone might subconsciously recognise that someone else is superior to them in some form but then consciously accept it. But when we lie, we sunconsciously recognise a fact and then die it down to consciously to report something else. So the lie detector tests whether your final words are alligned with your subconscious recognition so in this case jealousy merely meant the recognition of someone else's superiority so it may be that you were being truthful to yourself.

    Edit: actually never mind, it's probably to do with levy said right after which was that he in the back of his mind had some memory of an instance of him being jealous

    The funniest part is that levy thinks he's the most influential figure in chess history lol

    "Have you ever been sexually attracted to any of your minor students?"

    I think he is the most influential figure in chess ever too. Given it was pioneered by hikaru.

    If I play knight g5 are you going to play bishop takes g5 after? Lmfao πŸ˜‚

    Man normally i look at who is winning and what
    But this time
    I was focusing more on convo and couldn't even see who was winning until they said "i resign"
    "U can move rook to that square and then we can agree to draw"
    That last line of levy abt daniel, levy's "it hurts" and daniel statement abt jealousy hits bard
    Just two men having a heart to heart
    I normally cant enjoy vids if they not funny but this right here is masterpiece even if it was not funny (which was ofc not intended so its obvious)

    Yes levy is the best entertainment in chess❀😊

    Question. Would you give the same answers if you were not connected to a detector?

    I do not really follow the chess scene other than supporting Magnus since I am a Norwegian, I do barley know Gotham and only know he make yt videos and the last guy I have never seen before (but I really liked him!). BUT man this was such a great video, not sure why but everything about the video and the people in this video made me happy. Thank you

    Bravo!

    ( I don’t have the killer instinct either. )

    Isn't lie detection obsolete ? I mean you can just clench your butt while you answer and you can lie and the machine will pick it up as true.

    "i look up to you the most", despite finding him unfunny lol.

    When did he ask the question of how much levy makes

    "I deserve it more"
    "I'm more famous than you"
    "I'm easily the most influencial person in chess, and probably in entire history of chess"
    "I'm unequivocally better than you, and I'm better than a lot of people who are higher rated"

    My brain can't even fathom how far up his own ass his head rests. How disconnected from reality can someone be? That's astonishing.

    What am absolute narcissist. No wonder his personality is completely repulsive.

    levy has like 70 videos named LEVY GMMMMMM

    Brilliant video. Perhaps my favorite chess video of all time. Thank you so much for such amazing content!

    Sorry to spoil being skeptical but I can’t hold this in my chest: this involves lots of money/promotion, and this is sooooo easy to script and edit, full of cuts etc.
    Still entertaining. Maybe good for chess. But doesn’t feel right. I had to say it.

    This was the best chess interview I’ve ever seen πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

    The second person is called Danny. What is his full name?
