    With Gukesh winning the candidates, you know what Hikaru said about the next generation is all facts.

    Way too much talking from the interviewer. Is this a conversation or an interview? Cut out all the qualifiers and explanations and other BS. Ask a question and let the interviewee interpret it and respond. Larry King was great at this

    Nah, I quit watching after he starting insulting you. I mean right off the bat he was throwing insults at you. I'm your fan but I'm not his. It's all about respect at the end of the day. He didn't show you any in my mind. I'm good on watching the rest of this upload. You're a hell of a chess player. He should respect that.

    Levi, this has nothing to do with the video but I'm 40 years old and learned to play as a child, but never played much past age 9. Seeing your videos and enthusiasm has piqued my interest and I've signed up to play online and get a rating and I really enjoy it. I doubt I would have done this had YouTube not recommended your channel. Thanks

    Levy is honestly a great interviewer. I'd love him to just interview everyone in the chess world one by one

    Does Hilaru talk about his slide into degeneracy in this video?

    "Levy, mentally you are not quite there" — Hikaru 2024

    Bro, I don't mind that you don't make your bed, but don't show me your unmade bed.

    As I skip through this video… This doesn't sound like levy's video- I know it's an interview but omg

    My own comment pissed me off 🤬so I smashed my phone out of rage .

    What’s the story with Levy and his parents??

    Can you please interview Levy Rozman, hes a great player

    Day 1 of asking Gotham his thoughts in hikaru gambling

    Day 9 of asking levy for a GTE episode

    this aged like fine wine with the gambling drama

    The amount of times Hikaru said “some random GM” lol

    If I ever meet Levy, I will call him GothamChess just to make him mad.

    Shoutout to you Gotham for reading Trevor Noahs book. South African here

    At the moment it feels like the generation of Magnus, Hikaru, Nepo and Fabiano are running to its end. And behind them is a massive age gap.
    I hope the newer generation will step up, but having the next candidates with only 20 year olds and younger would also look silly…

    Hikaru definitely made his presence in the chess world, especially in a positive impact.

    We all expected content not Gotham's girlfriend…

    I am really liking this interview. Hikaru Nakamura being his true full self. #cool 💙

    I’ve already commented that your mental is your biggest mountain, you do care too much and while playing even you have said that your focused on what others are thinking. And how you need to preform.
    Far as chess goes I don’t see you being outclassed by a lot of the Gms I watch. You imo certainly have every bit of the skill needed.

    What a great interview. Thank you to you both👌

    I believe Hikaru has too much pride in himself to cheat. If someone that good did feel the need to resort to cheating , the rest of us have no chance.

    Levy never fails only, bro only knows to win

    Levy replays a certain portion of this video over and over

    disappointed as fuck after the gambling shit. huge L

    I always feel delighted for watching Hikaru and his little pet

    Releasing a pre-candidates interview now is like kissing one’s sister.

    I feel like it's not a wild proposition for Levy to train with Hikaru to get to GM. It'd be like swinging with a weighted bat before stepping up to the plate. Plus could make for great content for either channel.

    40 minutes of chess!! Who has that patience 😅.

    It's unfortunate that immediately after the Candidates, Hikaru starting shilling a gambling site on his audience.

    Hikaru seems relaxed and comfortable here, plenty of smiles. He's usually kind of a cold fish in interviews, he must be starting to like you! lol

    I'm surprised that Levy didn't mention agadmator. I still remember Levy doing a video a few years ago where he said that he'd just become the most popular chess vlogger on youtube overtaking agadmator (although he didn't mention agadmator by name).

    Awesome interview, thank you so much for your content and everything you do for chess! You are largely responsible for me getting into the game pretty late in life, but I continue to learn so much from you and Hikaru that I'm seeing my ELO slowly go up.

    You 100% can be a grandmaster, and I am SO excited to be part of that journey! Keep being awesome, forget the haters, and remember always when you sit down at the board: YOU ARE A LIVING LEGEND. I fully believe you can and WILL get the mental game in check (pun intended) and allow your strength at the board to shine.

    Nice interview 👍 It feels like you're on good terms 💙

    Thanks Levy, Hikaru. You guys got me back into chess. The first time I've played regularly since middle school. I'm hooked.

    Gotham asked Hikaru if he had what it takes to be a GM. it kind of implies age in the mix.

    GPT: Since the year 2000, some of the oldest men to achieve the title of Grandmaster in chess include:

    Yuri Shabanov: Became a Grandmaster at the age of 58 in 2000.

    Yuri Razuvaev: Achieved Grandmaster title at the age of 58 in 2002.

    Vladimir Okhotnik: Earned the Grandmaster title at the age of 58 in 2003.

    Eugenio Torre: Became a Grandmaster at the age of 58 in 2009.

    This is mesmerizing stuff 🫶🏽 thanks for the great content

    I have a question.. Why do people resign when they could just lose the game? What's the difference?
