As you can see, this short shows Magnus as @DrDrunkenstein, and Gotham as @Crew64. Click on his profile, it shows that he is an IM from New York. Click on his Twitch link in the "social media" section, and it goes straight to Gotham's Twitch channel.

Your investigative research impresses me.

Interesting, but it could be another IM trying to mess with us
If Levy doesn't want his lichess account (If he has one) found, why would he link his twitch in his bio and mention his location?

Nope, it is levys old account, made when he was FM, I don't know when and how the IM title got verified, but apparently it did, and the game levy vs magnus was played in a titled arena. It is inactive ( 3 years is a pretty long time) and the links are from the time when levy played on lichess on stream ( aka before the chess.com contract ) if I am correct.

How much of your lifetime did you give up for finding out about this?

But people always ask him why he uses chess.com and he says that lichess.org sucks. He said that on video so why would he have a lichess account?

Wouldn't you expect someone to experience Lichess (or anything else) before forming an opinion on it? If he had never used Lichess, it wouldn't be an honest opinion.

I suppose any chess professional would consider it part of the job to stay familiar with all the sites.
