Crazy how coach still looks so young after all these games
6:25 " I'm not sure if I would play h3"
Levy " I stopped to think what my coach would do, I played h3"
Can I just say Arturs that I have really enjoyed your 40plus hours of commentary on Levy’s games, and your great recaps of each game! You have given Levy that extra bit of belief in himself he needed to beat GMs, and look at today’s game. He played better against the GM than he did against the lower rated players he drew with! Please keep up the great live commentaries and recaps!
It’s clear how happy you are with this performance as a coach. Congratulations to you both. Reflect back but only look forward. Onwards and upwards …
Can definitely see the effects of your coaching in this game! And your commentary has been great to watch through the whole tounament.
As a person who is also from Latvia, i watched every single stream without regretting any second of it. I genuinely adore your energy and understanding of the game. You made me actually be interested in the game for hours. Paldies!
w coach
did he get the norm?
Nice job in the streams and nice job working with Levy through the tournament. It seems that somewhere in there he got into a slump and in his recap today he was talking about he was thinking of what you said and what would you do in this game, which clearly worked. Excellent job GM Neiksans! Thank you for keeping the dream alive
❤
I really enjoyed watching the games I could catch live and watching the recaps great content I am really enjoying the road to GM and getting your thoughts as a coach!
Thank you so much for coaching LGR!
Good work, coach !
You were a voice in his head giving him comments and sparring with him while the game was on. As a teacher, I think that’s the best thing we can offer to a student.

COACH, let's create a series " Chess Beginner to Advanced". You go on from openings to Middle games to endgames + your insights etc . If you post consistently we might reach 100k soon❤
Being a consumer I can tell if the thumbnail and video quality is high + if you ask levy to tell his subscribers about your series you will blow because many newbies like me also follow him
Your coaching and care for your student AND for your student's viewers/fan club was exemplary. You were patient, kind, and made a point of telling us when we the comment section were going too far – and for the most part, people were listening. That is really really difficult to do. I subscribed with your game 7 breakdown and i look forward to all your future recaps. I'll also take a look at your lesson plans. Do you coach rank amateurs?
Regardless. Wonderful stuff, GM Arturs. We see your hard working paying off with Levy's games and play style. Kg2 followed by Pawn to h3 made that SUPER clear. Thank you for being here 🙂
Yeah, don't know why I wasn't subscribed yet, but now I am. You are amazing, your commentary during the tournament was wonderful, your recaps are great and everybody can see Levy improving with you as a coach. Keep up the good work, you are great.
My new favourite GM.
2 days ago it was around 9.8k, now you've surpassed 12k gg artur. Please do release few of your wisdom here on yt in the form of a opening repertoire.
Pretty clear from watching this tournament and Levy's own recap of this game that your coaching has been a really positive impact on his mentality and mindset. Old Levy would have very likely gone on tilt after some disappointing games this tournament and would have never played this well at the end.
Your commentary on the livestreams has also been really fun to watch, I hope to watch some more on Levy's GM journey.
I really loved your commentary this tournament, you're extremely insightful. Watching the streams and your recaps has been awesome, you're exactly the type of coach I wish I had access to
A top 10(5 if there are too many draws) moments would be amazing for each of these tournaments going forward. Good idea for content
You have a great understanding of Levy and you two have a great chemistry, I am amazed at how well your insight, has changed his attitude for the games. I know he knows how much you have helped him and will continue to help. I feel sorry for Alberto, he is a great player, he is just a warrior and he likes battles , I'm sure he could have, on a different day, done much better playing one of his pet lines, but he went for a shootout and lost. I saw a recap of the game and they gave some advice on trying to find tournaments with old guys with a foot in the grave to get norms from, it disgusts me, I know that both you and Levy would never consider that approach, it is only a worthwhile title ,if it is won in true battle. I hope that person can see that and make some changes to their thinking, otherwise life is just an empty bottle, that was once filled with promise. Levy has been doing great for the short time you have been working together, I would expect that one tournament in the future , he will have a terrible experience ,when nothing goes right, and he wonders if he has wasted all that time for nothing, I hope he is prepared for that , because if he can weather that storm, it usually puts the real players over the last hurdles and they reach their true potential. Best of luck to both of you, I also look forward to watching your future games.
love the commentary man, and the live streams where i checked in every now and then.
Hey Mr. Neiksans. Thanks for the amazing commentary looking forward for more!
Gg!!!!
great job.
Great job on the commentary, it was fun and can't wait for the next tournament.
Thank you for helping Levy.
It was so fun to watch you commentate the games. Thank you !
Also, 9:52 "Nf6 is just cooler, and Leby is cool of course" had me laughing so hard !
Streams were super fun to watch
@Arturs Hi coach!
After today's game I believe Levy attending tournaments where he mostly faces older "overrated" titled players, over young underrated players, can play to his benefits😉
Also he talked about how he was affected by jetlag, maybe arrive at the event a few days earlier?
Best of luck!
Coach, I think you should take over Levy's channel 😂 you're amazing
I really appreciated you doing coverage for the event! You were great!
Coach, it was an absolute pleasure watching these games with your commentary. I hope you had as much fun as we all did, and hope to see you back on the call next time!
the best chess coach on youtube!!!
Keep up the analysis and commentary, please! It's so interesting 🙂
Funny that Hikaru says that Kg2 is a questionable move, Arturs says it's Levy's best move of the tournament amd the computer says it fine… chess is complicated 😂
THE PEOPLE’s COACH! I’ve really enjoyed listening to your commentary and recaps during this tournament. Looking forward to the next one!
Lets go coach! Get levy to gm!
Oh yaaaa e5, bishop g6, queen g6, knight f6.. i was the guy saying queen c3 but ya u found the correct order
Toxic YouTube commenters checking in 🎉
I remember you showing your Queen's indian game vs Alberto David on stream a few weeks back. Funny that he plays your student so soon after.
“Nf6 is just cooler, and levy’s cool of course so he took on f6.”
@8:13 “I would just say, either you see such moves or you don’t ”. 🫡🪦 love GM Arturs 🙏🏽
There's something magical in watching a master of whatever field talking about their passion like you do, Mr. Neiksans! Best wishes on your next steps of the journey with Levy!
Nice game👏🏻
GM Neiksans getting the Views he deserves ❤. You love to see it
I never thought I'd all these streams, i only watched because of you 😂❤
I said once and I say it again. You're an incerdibely undestanding, compassionate and insightful person, the only one Levy truly deserves. Keep on with good work, coach!
