    wait!? this is confusing.. so its Hikaru tm whom was the orginizers, not FIDE?

    This was a good informational and inspirational video Levy, thank you! Hoping that we get to see more chess events and foundations and clubs everywhere. Will try to participate more in my company's chess club. Thanks for all your content!

    Fischer talked about this in 1975! and yall called him crazy

    Finally, I am in the top 1% of chess in something

    I m thankfull, for lak of ads in this video. Like a reward for watching 20 min long material.

    I hate to say this but is it as simple as this?… The absence of sports agents? Could those “salesman” types drive more sponsorship and corporate money into the space? Are we relying on chess “nerds” to represent themselves and they are generally preforming to their ability in that regard? Levy, you are a good example of a decent chess player whose skill in marketing is way above average and your success seems to correspond.

    This is similar to competitive swimming. Every four years we get to see swimming competition at the Olympics. But swimmers are competing all the time and the competitions are not covered by the media. Michael Phelps had hoped to change this. I see a parallel between chess and swimming.

    So it's just an event nobody knew about getting cancelled / postponed? It's a shame .. but where is the drama? Clickbait… you're better than this I thought?

    Thank you for being so raw and sharing this in this way. Hopefully this match does end up happening sometime soon

    okay. got your point, bruv. now let's start a business offline using chess

    Levy blaming his subscriber count on me.
    That is inacceptable. I aint 4.27 million. I am 1 (and my personality is a solid 0 btw)
    stop lying to us, Levy. We are only following the youtube overlords and pray to the algorithm.

    Screw chess boxing I just wanna see Carlsen vs Hikaru

    Why tf would it be a good idea to put the two greatest minds in chess in a boxing ring to punch each other's faces. The risk just seems too high tbh

    Even for an important topic that seems dear to you, you still do click baity titles.. sigh

    Levy, you do very well discussing, describing, and commentating this game. Very entertaining. keep up the good work.

    I think a big problem is that a lot of people are going to watch chess to see top level play, so its difficult to justify watching the world #8 or something when someone like Hikaru is streaming blitz… the market is there, but its going to gravitate heavily to the best players if personality really isn't the focus.

    Day 10 of asking Levy to autograph my preorder of his book.

    I don't know about chess boxing, it's pretty lame. Just keep Chess Chess ffs

    Chess boxing gotta be a massive risk to chess grandmasters who's literal careers depends on them pushing their brains to the maxium. Even minor concussion that harms brain in a way that would normally be immeasurable could potentially be huge detriment to chess super grandmasters. Sure nothing might happen but are people really willing to take such risks when both competitors careers are worth millions of dollars.

    And litigation for such injury would be a nightmare as well?

    Ayo Levy why isn’t this match about the St Louis Chess Club that’s a real important issue that needs to be brought attention to

    8:08 because chess is long and boring + viewers are required to think 😂

    Gotham, i fucking love you so much, im gonna buy your book and become ridiculously good chess player because of you and start local chess club in belgrade, serbia❤

    Simple solution; Magnus Carlsen needs to date Taylor Swift.

    Bro has to always change titles to get attention 😁

    I saw first title i thought it's a matchup then went to study then came for lunch to watch video then saw new title i thought it's a scandal then i get to know it's a cancellation thank u levy 😅

    Levy is sad bcoz he didn't get a chance to make video on that day 😢

    TL;DW: there was a Magnus vs. Hikaru showmatch planned with some weird formats, but it was cancelled.

    so can we finally get back to 300 elo chess 🤯

    I felt like the Sadge emote at the end 😓 but it’s not over! Chess to the MOON!🗣️
