I think both have their advantages when it comes to who might get their title first. I feel like overall Rosen recovers from losses easier and cares less about how his games will effect his YouTube metrics, so he's less likely to take unnecessary risk for potentially more views later which likely leads to better results, at least across the board.
On the other hand, Levy has a massive supportive fan base and seems to be more determined to earn the GM title than Rosen. If my memory serves me correctly I think Rosen might have even mentioned that he'd love the GM title but is satisfied with IM.
Either way, good luck to both of them!
Lol fans have nothing to do with elo rating and how you fare in tournaments. Having to handle youtube is more of a hassle and will not allow one to train as much as he could.
Now...Levy has the potential but from what i've seen he seems to overthink because of stress.
Really? That same fan base motivates him to play his best chess, it's not a game changer all on its own but it's proven that a fan base or team backing you up causes better results, especially in mental health. And we all know that is a huge and undervalued part of chess.
To your point though, that can also cause him stress so maybe it is a nullfying factor 🤷♂️
First off, it's not proven. Second, you're spewing nonsense here. Having a fanbase does NOTHING for chess masters. It's not like there's a crowd during matches.
And as DreamscapeHorizons stated, having to handle the business side of youtube content is a lot of work. Time spent that isn't used for training.
Levy mid as heck. Don't know a lot about Rosen, but he's gotta beat Levy
What would you know mr 700 elo lol
What would you know Mr. 1200 elo LOL
You can disagree with me, I gave my opinion and you can feel free to have any opinion about that. But you gotta be respectful and it's a proven fact that a supportive base leads to better mental health which in chess is so important.
Your opinion is based on personal belief that has no base. Mine is based on evidence.
Time is limited in a day. Use your brain man.
What evidence? I don't really care anyways I gave my opinion and you disagreed with it, good for you! That's what makes life interesting and worth living
If you say something is PROVEN then there has to be some evidence of it being proven somewhere, right ?
But there's none. You're just inventing fake facts to strengthen your deluded opinion.
As for my own, said youtubers have discussed this already. Many youtubers have stated that they have had to cut back on content in order to focus on competitive play in tournaments.
