8:23 I love how for a split second stockfish goes "forced mate in 36 moves"
Holy how did you see that lol
Then it changes its mind. Even in my simple games it does that a lot, especially when you are at +60 or some ridiculous number, then it switches to M6 if you make the move anyway.
Yeah, I will get M26 or something, I can often find a faster way when it is that many.
@@toriless because it means forced mate assuming no mistakes and perfect defence from opponent but I doubt you are playing against people who can defend perfectly

isnt that a less score?? i dont think that's good....
I always love when Levy ends a video with "now get outta here", it kinda feels like your favorite teacher or mentor giving you a pat on the shoulders and sending you home after a long but fulfilling day
My p.e. Teacher says that at the end of class
Yeah, me too. Was surprised to find out he’s still in his 20s. Such a great communicator!

@Darktion the only thing yw should apologize about is being a cool dude
I love this tip!
- You're already lost, so doing something "crazy" is not a big deal
- The opponent will see an exposed king and begin salivating, searching for ways to attack it
- While attacking, opponent may forget to defend his own pieces or king
- The king itself is an effective offensive piece, able to restrict several squares from the enemy king with opposition

Levy, you cannot teach us any secrets: with 3 million followers and counting, anything you show is essentially immediately known by everyone.
This has happened like two times to me. I see people start playing something against London or in the Caro and I just know Gotham put out a new video 😂
Yup 😂
Shhh, the others might hear you.
Just because they follow, or even watch, doesn't mean they listen.
Yeah I feel like the Caro Kann was working great for me in December and it's getting slowly harder to get good positions with it now lol.

On leg day I'm forced to run
@@bananabanditvr and smoetimes i am forced to run (i got bad grades)
Today I, a 300s elo player, faced against a 500s elo player, literally lost all my pieces except my Pawn and my King which were left to go up against their 2 Bishops, their knight, and their Rook, I employed this tactical strategy for the first, and I somehow managed to get the enemy to blunder a stalemate despite having the overwhelming advantage. Thank you Levy, very cool.

I was 500 in rapid last week, I’m now around 700-750. Finally starting to some results and it’s super motivating
Awesome. What did you do to improve?

I don’t recommend taking the king run advice too seriously. The first piece of advice he gives to keep pieces on the board and make the position messy is 100% correct though and has won me countless games. I’ve gone from 1200 to 2000 in about a year and I know from experience that just running the king rarely results in good things and usually will get you mated very quickly to any decent player. Even in the video, there were so many mates missed and the player got lucky to run through that minefield and have their opponent blunder mate.
4:26 I can't find the mate in one!
Bruh, this is literally hope chess
@@mariuszpudzianowski8400 yeah lol
this worked for an over-the-board game… got a promoted pawn, and laddermated.
the king uses the secret escape route behind the throne.
I love Levy's content because of his passion. He's very genuine. Very entertaining and engaging. I feel like time flies watching his videos. Love you and your content, Levy!

Same lol.
Yep I like the commentary while I’m playing xbox 😂
This is Gothamchess at its best. Hilarious but instructive. This and guess the elo and any commentary on ridiculous games. More of this pls
Fantastic Levy! We beginners mostly lose most of our games because after castling we just leave the king status quo and give the opponent a fixed target to go for. But a moving target! As you have amply demonstrated that’s another ball game! Loved it!

Thanks Gotham, been watching since 2019, just wanna say I recently hit 2000 in blitz. I love your content, thanks for it even though a lot is aimed at beginners. Congrats on 3mil!

@@aliraheem133Yes, in fact you are.
I’d say 9
@@aliraheem133 Why are you talking about yourself?
"Mate in 2 in a couple of moves". love it.
It was so funny when levy was talking about what you usually do when you are losing your position and he was saying so many things and all were soon accurate😂
Reminds me of the king walk in a completely lost position in Guess the Elo #56. "Folks, this is actually a decent strategy, like, when in doubt, run your king to the other side of the board." "Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh... I have a really bad fee - " (Black blunders checkmate in 2 with the white king on f7 and bishop on g7 while a rook and bishop ahead.)
I never just queue into games but I play some with my friends from time to time, probably somewhere around 800-900 level. I do this against them and it only works a handful of times (and even then usually with a draw, not mate) but it's better than nothing!! During a time crunch especially, finding mate can be harder than running away.
This just shows something that a lot of people overlook - king is quite a powerful piece himself. It can outmaneuver and destroy most other pieces except the queen, and it can be used offensively quite well in the endgame
Im a 400+ elo and ive been in many losing positions and still checkmated the opponent and now i have learned more from you thank you so much!
9:00 "or mating you in a variety of different ways"
that sounded so wrong
9:27 mans turned Italian
This has to be, bar none, levy’s best , most epic video ever! I can def relate to his passion and drama!! Love it
I have never laughed more at a chess video and cannot WAIT to use this in my 500 games because I will have the exact same reaction lmfao
For a second there, I thought he was going to say “So what’s the trick? The trick is… playing the Caro Kann.” 😂
I think more specifically its good to run your king to the enemy king since it restricts their squares and makes checkmating easier when youre down material
Only in the end game, especially if you have pawns. Often it is the difference.
@@toriless all of these examples were during the endgame or at least late middlegame
Depends on whether that could feasibly help a checkmate. If it's something where you're like, down a rook in what's otherwise a pawn endgame, run your king at their pawns, and push yours. I won a game recently with three pawns against rook and two pawns that way.
@@toriless or if you're horribly losing anyway, as in the video. Did you watch the video?
queen: gets eaten
king: go bullshit go
Levy BTW that 3.12M subs is looking good. Running the King, an excellent technique for swindling. It's almost like it says "Yikes, the castle is breached, I'm gonna make a break for it. Exile is better than death." All the books say to activate the King, (in the endgame) and one famous GM said the King is an attacking piece, but this is taking it to the next level. I almost now have to think of King as a Queen, just with a short range. Thanks man.
Timeline of Levy's comments:
Hour 1-6=a stare review
Day 1-7=a funny comment of a new gotham viewer
Day 8+=someone famous took over the comment section
I'm 400 rated elo and this is legendary advice. I love watching gotham videos because they are simple and provide effective + legitimate strategies.
generally running king ends up getting me stalemated but its better than losing
the unpromoted pawn and king checkmate with .4 seconds is a clutch of the ages
Levy is just too funny, keep up the good work
This is exactly what I do! At my level (1100) many of my opponents blunder riducules checkmates up tons of material... Never resign!
I followed this advice in a game earlier today and managed a comeback down 3 pawns after the opponent blundered their bishop.
Your excitement in this video got me to subscribe. Thanks for the tips!
5:36 And white sacrifices.... THE GAMEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
at 7:55 there was another brilliant checkmate in 2, Qg6. the pawn can't take because he is defending the king in the g file from the rook in g1. then if white does any other thing other than a check, Qg7#. idk if I'm wrong
I've had a few games that devolve in ways like this that make me consider sending them in. Coming back from M3 or -74 to winning a few moves later because some guys just don't know how to finish
Straight to the point,today is 11/10
What a fantastic video this is, please do more of this 👏
This is what i do in bullet or blitz, even when you're clearly losing - just check their king or move king fast and win on time. Sometimes they even mess up and you can capture a powerful piece during that madness, but you have to be very alert
This such a good advice, first match after this video my opponent was up 7 points in material he had rook bishop and queen on the board and i only had a queen. I ran my king and he was only focusing on my king which led him to hang his bishop then his rook and he even hanged his queen at 1 minutes left lmao
I can confirm that running the king up the board works. I was once up a rook and my opponent ran their king which made me blunder my rook so I asked for a draw and my opponent accepted.
Edit: It was also the endgame so after the blunder I made there was just rooks and pawns
run. the. king.
9:55 when you spill a drink on an Australian
in one of my old games i was down a whole lot of material and managed to deliver the death's kiss with my king and queen on the other side of the board. I can confirm this works

Good, straightforward, deep stare from Gotham tonight, once again up to the challenge as always

Just made it to 1000! Thanks for being my teacher Levy
Congrats. I remember when I hit 1000 8 years ago. 1000 is the rating that made me realize I know nothing about chess and I was still a complete Beginner. Stay strong because the journey just began fir you.
@@whatwhy63498 years ago wth, what is your actual rating?
I am stuck at 1,200 rating before but when I watch your opening guide tutorial, I did reached 1,750 rating (Personal best) and I am currently at 1,730, tbh. my main problem on chess is the openings cuz I noticed I am somewhat good at spotting basic tactics and I am also not that bad at making a plan so yeah with your help I did improve, I can say you're, the GOAT YT. chess teacher, I am not even kidding.
I recently had a game where I blundered my queen, ran my king up the board with a pawn while he martialed his queen and rook and he didn't notice smothered mate.
“It’s mate in 2 in a few moves.” -Levy
🤣🤣🤣🤣
What a great and creative title Levy, I can't imagine coming up with such a great title.
In blitz games hiding your king amongst all of your pieces left is very nice. Beginners and Intermediates do not know how to break through and attack you, so they will just end up making random moves (run out of time), only thing you need to be aware of is promotion.
I had a game like the first one, where it was a few pieces and I walked my king all the way up the board. I've had some crazy mates a few times I keep a list of crazy mates I've done.
"Do you know how many mates there are in this position?
Fifty thousands"
I lost it at that part 😂
One of the most original and utterly brilliant chess videos I have ever seen. Levy, thank you for this. You have excelled even yourself.👏
The amount of aggression from Levy about running with the King is Hilarious😂😂
I played a game yesterday where i was in a pretty bad spot. Pretty much everything was pinned down. I ran the king out and managed to snag three pawns up like a beast. The odd moves the opponent was making told me they had never seen this before and didn't know what the hell to do. My king made it to the other side of the board. I lost. But it was still a pretty sweet move lol.
The stair today was simple and yet provocative 7/10
