INCREDIBLY DONE ❤️
-
Ok but HOW in the WORLD did you get Levy AND Hikaru in one video
-
8:40 I love the way she is teaching, so positive and trying also to take the same vibe as michelle while giving commentary on how she plays but in a way that she doesn't feel dumb
-
So many memories and such an incredible video: Huge props to the editors =) Amazing storytelling, Michelle!!! 🙌
-
The moment Castlemania was born! I'm so proud of your journey, Michelle, and it's been such a joy and honour guiding you! Cannot wait to see where else your challenges will take you, you're unstoppable!! 💙

Hikaru: Its very hard to recover if you lose your queen Also Hikaru:REACHES 2600 DOING THE BOTEZ GAMBIT
-
The last game that Michelle played that’s literally the grand example of “it doesn’t matter how you got there” at the end of the day she got her goal. A win is a win
-
SO GOOD! Can't imagine how much patience was required during the training, filming AND editing of this video. You killed it Michelle!
-
Congrats Michelle on this video! You’re honestly one of the most hard-working and inspiring people I’ve ever met, it was so much fun coaching you! You’re amazing!! ❤️
-
girl. the chess plateau is real. as a under 14 player who has only like 380 rating and started playing barely a month ago after a hiatus, it gets you sooo agitated and frustrated that you cant even think about practise and just become desperate. to anybody who is going through this. Practise will help. like a LOT, Stay strong!

"it's not about who makes the first blunder, it's about who makes the last blunder" i'm keeping that as a motivational quote
-
you inspire me so much!! I’m so proud of you!!!
-
This is the BEST chess documentary I've ever seen in my life. It has humor, excitement, tension, and a clear love for the game. Michelle - you are such an inspiration. You fought and hustled your way to a 1000 rating. I was cheering you on every step of the way. I knew you could do it. Please always stay with chess and its community for life. You're AMAZING! #castlemania

The utter shock and sheer terror on your face when levy put on the blindfold was priceless. Shows how skilled he really is.
-
As a recent chess starter, it's so refreshing to see someone else crying over this board game. I put so much pressure on myself because I know I'm smart and capable, but I just wasn't seeing results, but I was expecting way too many results in the first few weeks. Chess takes time and when you give it that time, then those results show. Amazing watch.

Levi: "I'll be your instructor" Levi: Immediately flexes with blindfold

Hikaru looking like the final boss of chess
-
That Levi guy seems like a nice chap who is also really good at chess, he should start his own YouTube channel.
