it is a bad move according to the engine but it's not for humans because it's hard for the opponent to see the winning sequence of moves, especially if the players are lower rated
Well that's only if you're playing against someone comparable. From the same position against the same person, someone else who was better would still have a higher chance of winning after losing a queen.
Wanted to take a moment to appreciate you stating along the way that a lot of the moves look pretty natural and seeing them being a blunder takes a lot of experince and foresight. While i, as a sub 600 player that started with chess a few months ago, really enjoy this type of content for you entertaining commentary, it often strikes me how unintuitivly bad some of the moves are. Your further explanation helps a lot in getting better at evaluating moves. Thank you so much.
This channel is very good to learn with. I’d recommend Mike kummer’s beginner breakdown videos. They really helped me when I started playing around a year ago, after watching his videos I went up to 1000 very quickly
Yeah don't worry about it and keep learning! You can observe this well when there are tournament livestreams and people laugh at a move just because the eval bar just moved radically. Yet the chance that they have just found the only winning combination is very small. Levy's channel is useful as well because he stresses when he likes a move at a certain level despite the engine hating it.
I agree, to me the weirdest part of this game is I think both players played pretty well. Like yes they had a lot of blunders but most of them were missing multi-move combinations and the move they played instead usually had a clear plan behind it. Like normally in a blunderfest I'd assume there would be multiple hanged pieces, a lot of missed fires and a lot of moves that just make absolutely no sense because the players aren't sure what to do. Here in almost every case it was like okay I wouldn't play that but I see why you did and I'm not even sure which of the tactics I'd have found without the eval bar.
These lower level games are so educational! Each time when I spot a move and Levy suggests it too, I’m like “yes!”, and each time I don’t I learn something new.
@@augustinesia3985 Educational if you pause it and think about the best moves or how you would play from the position for both sides, but yeah it's entertainment if you just watch.
Outstanding content!! Examples of forcing moves, board vision, geometry, in between moves, castling, piece location all rolled into entertaining content. For us 800s, chess is hard - we're laughing at our own pain because we've all been there. Thanks for pointing out how we can get better Levy!
This is my fave content of yours in terms of viewer games! No rating shaming combined with learning stuff that us lower rated players see in games all the time. Would love to see series close to this format in the middle ground between having a laugh and actually learning, stuff that's realistic rather than a crazy not to be taken seriously game
I feel like I learn way more from these lower ELO videos than I do the GM ones because these are the mistakes I would make and how to fix them rather than some crazy god game. Very good stuff! That being said, could you speak a little louder? I am having trouble hearing you over your shirt.
This was fantastic. I’d love it if you did more of these, I’m a 750 and while seeing GMs and IMs play is very instructional bc you get to see great moves, I miss out on correcting all of the mistakes people like me make. I feel like you need both sides of the coin to really learn
I love the fact that you have been explaining middle game and end game in a very illustrated way in last few videos even when the game is low elo and with lot of mistakes and how to avoid and what to play.we all can agree that's what we all wanted to navigate . How to win the middle game slugfest .you have helped me improve the vision too. MaNy of us long term followers always wanted this kind of video and you have been a blessing I will admit,you delivered after understanding our difficulties . Thank you . Keep posting these lovely videos. 🎉🎊✨❤️
Hello Levy! I have been a subscriber for over a year and I wanted to thank you for your videos. I had played tournaments when I was younger, and then had to stop to play chess to study. But after I turned 18, I restarted playing, teaching myself as a hobby. I could climb to 1750-1800, and now I'm 21 and I have just hit 2000 rating points just from the studying of your videos. Thank You very very much! Maybe you don't respond to many messages, but I hope you'll read it sometime.
In my opinion this is one of the most instructive and helpful games you have done for the majority of us that are below 1500. Thanks for the great content!
i M a 1600-1800 range guy but still watch his videos those are for low players cause it helps me to review my past knowledge and also kinda improves my game cause of the way he explains that
All of us with below 2000 ratings make stupid mistakes. And even 2000s make stupid mistakes, I have beaten two of them because one of them straight up blundered his queen and the other one blundered his knight. There is a recent video of Ben Finegold playing against a 1800 and predicting when his opponent will blunder his queen.
I am 1500+ and it is still instructive. I am a complete novice, I play for fun, I know 1-3 openings total, often lose in the opening, but if I get out of it alive oh my... if I get out... everything is possible. :)
I already saw a lot of videos you made and they helped and still help me a lot, especially for openings, but this one is ready instructif. Please keep on making more videos for chess players between 800 and 1000 and show the real world of chess at this level, like this one.
700 to 1500 level chess is by far the most supreme chess spectating experience. It's got everything, drama, laughs, action, tragedy. Just poetry. They know enough to come up with clever strategies and set traps, and just little enough to make interesting weaknesses for themselves and you always get cool imbalanced positions. Everything below 700 is just pure tragedy and everything above 1500 or so is a little more reserved.
To be fair, a lot of these engine moves were hard to see, though it wasn't that hard to see that some moves played in the game were very bad. Fun game :)
oh yea right go see Agadmators chess video where magnus carlsen says he wont be playing the chess tournament and watch a pawn and a knight move you will never spot unless you are above 1500 man... these moves were so easy to predict but its different when you are watching it when u play it it much much much different like time and pressure also when u start openining and doing something you imagine "aha this is gonna work this is my plan im sticking to it" when sometimes you gotta be flexible and sort of defend for a few moves and then strike-gotta be patient
This happens. Maybe you're tilted, sleep deprived, depressed, or have other stuff running through your mind. I went from 1400 to 1280 last month, this did hit hard. I was sleep deprived and anxious. I did bring my shit together, made some sport, went back to chess, i'm now 1500.
@@Achdings I dropped 250 rating in one day once. I just lost every single game, I quit chess for months after it but came back and gained it all back plus more
That could happen once you take a break for some months, cus you’re not used to it again. Best thing is to “warm-up” and refresh with playing some casual matches first.
@GothamChess you should 110% start selling merch that involves your amazing chess-related catch phrases. I would buy love to rep some GothamChess merch that shows off my love for your content and love for chess at the same time.
I’ve never studied chess openings in my life. I was around an 800-900 elo player from my experience playing against a computer every single day for a handful of years. Now after learning some openings and studying chess, I can confidently say I’ve went from 800-900 elo down to 250 elo. Thanks Gotham!
I like this video. Unlike some of the crazy 400 Elo games with just hanging piece blunders, this one features many tactical and strategic blunders that could pick up pieces and win the game for either player. Definitely makes for entertaining and educational content.
I like how levy deeply analysis the intention and the possible thought proccess of a 800 while in realty the whole plan is "hors go brrr check here brrr beg beng"
4:00 this is funny actually, sometimes when i watch lessons on league of legends they mention chess concepts, this time for once you can use a term from league here. You have lane pressure and the concept is the same, you keep the oponent overload and use the extra tempo to push the advantage into a fast ending with gareented advantage.
at 13:12 I think white played queen f3 to prevent black from playing queen c3 and putting his king in check though it is easily avoidable at e2 I doubt white saw that
I like this because it's a wild game but these aren't the most obvious blunders. It still took me a few seconds on each one to see how the opponent could win.
It's scary how even at the 1500+ level these sorts of things happen. We say "wow, what a game, I should be pleased with myself," then the computer kibitzes after the fact. The good thing about games like this is you can feel good about all you've thought, and yet you have so much to improve. i really liked this because, while Guess the Elo is always fun, this reminds us 1) yes, we all make mistakes and it doesn't invalidate the good thoughts we made and 2) play interesting chess and avoid safe boring draws--you enjoy it and learn more from it.
8:25 i'm a solid 602 player and i saw this: Qd5, C4 attacking the queen, enpassant c3, Kc3 attacking the queen and defending the weak pawn 2nd solution: Qd5, C4 allowing en passant, but this time you take back with the b2 pawn bringing the queen to defend the weak pawn, defending the bishop and yeah after that you kick the knight out and bring the other rook gg
I'm 2200 and would play Kb1 no thinking- after c4 dc3 taking with the knight leaves you with a weak d pawn and taking with the pawn weakens your king :)
Levy this is absolutely top tier content. Hilarious, humbling and exciting. Love how you said that most of the moves seem natural, I probably would have played most of them myself 😂🤣
Levy has been playing chess for 20 years. I have been playing for 60 years and wish these resources had been available when I was a child. I find these videos entertaining and instructive and still am able to learn.
U know… as a new player at 1200, I think this was the most helpful video! So many reasons and tricks… like the nice knight sac to win the queen is just beautiful, and the learning of to not be greedy, and to be greedy. To have a nice balance
I was feelin kinda stressed about chess for a bit but this video makes me feel a lot calmer lol. Sometimes you can get wrapped up thinking about all your mistakes but it's part of learning. Everyone needs to go through it before they can see the board better, and it's not the end of the world to be a 700-800 level player
There needs to be legit tournaments for players this level. Games like this are absolutely beautiful in their own way, and having great commentary with it is awesome !!
One of the youtubers I watch for age of empires has a series called low ELO legends where he goes on the ranked ladder and finds the lowest ELO games currently being played and casts them. Its a great series and can be really fun to see player's mindsets and what wacky strategies they are doing.
17:56 See, Bishops are snipers. Highly oppressive, very strong at a long range... but easily countered if you send them in on the frontlines. They're much better at suppressing enemy pieces, supporting your own from afar, and giving checks and other threats from a distance. You want the Bishop sniping and suppressing, you don't want them on the front lines like that unless the enemy has nowhere else to run.
This was truly awesome game, lot of blunders, but good blunders not hanging a queen . Some errors need truly better and deeper reading to avoid Very instructive. I like this kind of content. Funny but still instructive and not premade. This was a true game of chess of beginner level.
Thank you so much for bringing positivity to my mood and my day with every video posted, it doesn't even matter what sort it is. Keep doing what you're doing, I'm only sad I found your channel so late.
I feel like the eval bar can be distracting sometimes. I like following the logic/explanation to learn things. When I see the eval bar swing I instinctively look for a tactic and ignore the commentary
this game and almost every game in low elo are like action movies. fancy looking moves that don't make any sense because they blunder something are like the physics in star wars and star track for example.
Currently stuck at the 850 range because of how much variety is there in terms of players. I started this year off at 300 though, so overall I’m pretty happy
I'm an 800 and I've got to say, the reasoning for so many of these kinds of moves in the end game is because there are just way too many options to choose from. A chess professional will be able to see that there aren't actually that many *reasonable* moves but to a lower level you kind of have to vet every single *possible* move. The board has so much freedom it's daunting.
I have to agree that 800-1,000 is the most fun elo range. It's low enough to be fun/less frustrating but high enough that people know their pieces and a few basic principles that they just need to improve on. You get a few blunders, some average moves and some legendary moments too. Games can turn on a whim but not to the point of seeming random.
Watching this is funnier (not more exciting, but funnier) than watching two grandmasters' game, because just when you think the game is over, another blunder lengthens the game and so on.
Levy after every move:
"it's not a bad move."
Also levy after every move:
"the problem is that it's not a good move"
Also Levy after every move: "I don't hate it"
perfect way to describe chess
In hindsight, most of these moves are mediocre.
it is a bad move according to the engine but it's not for humans because it's hard for the opponent to see the winning sequence of moves, especially if the players are lower rated
Well clearly not after EVERY move 😉🤣🤣🤣
I'm glad I got out of the 800s, now I am in 400-500s
We in the same boat here 😂😂😂😂

As an 800 ELO on my best day, thank you, we are indeed amazing. The best part is that I know that even if I lose my queen or rook I can still win
As a barely 600 I could not agree more! 😅
as a 1400 ELO player i wish i was you lol
Well that's only if you're playing against someone comparable. From the same position against the same person, someone else who was better would still have a higher chance of winning after losing a queen.

Massive brains, all jokes aside I enjoy these videos, Gotham cracks a few jokes and shows us how beginners can improve more

@@zyonicyt just talking about the theme of the video series of analyzing low elo games
I like laughing at moves made by 800 rated players, as a 400 elo myself.
There needs to be legit tournaments for players this level. Games like this are absolutely beautiful in their own way, and having great commentary with it is awesome !!
19:41 if b6 then queen d1 check, kh2, then queen d6 check wins the bishop get yourself together gotham
how to lose at chess playlist is hilarious

One of the youtubers I watch for age of empires has a series called low ELO legends where he goes on the ranked ladder and finds the lowest ELO games currently being played and casts them. Its a great series and can be really fun to see player's mindsets and what wacky strategies they are doing.
As a 2100, Levy is right. Chess is annoying and time consuming. I miss it when my head did not hurt everytime I played it.

Stop bragging
Lmao the two replies before me are so triggered 💀
17:56 See, Bishops are snipers. Highly oppressive, very strong at a long range... but easily countered if you send them in on the frontlines. They're much better at suppressing enemy pieces, supporting your own from afar, and giving checks and other threats from a distance. You want the Bishop sniping and suppressing, you don't want them on the front lines like that unless the enemy has nowhere else to run.
This game was more exciting than… dare I say it…. Most of the world championships games.
This was truly awesome game, lot of blunders, but good blunders not hanging a queen . Some errors need truly better and deeper reading to avoid Very instructive. I like this kind of content. Funny but still instructive and not premade. This was a true game of chess of beginner level.
About 17:43
I like the expression "You can't fork me"
A slight substitution of the letters might be true as well.
Thank you so much for bringing positivity to my mood and my day with every video posted, it doesn't even matter what sort it is. Keep doing what you're doing, I'm only sad I found your channel so late.
I see levy frustrated by the moves but he humbly turned it into amazement. Great video.
As a fellow 800 elo, I can confirm that this is literally every match ever.
I had more emotional investment in this than the entire game of thrones.
I became 1400 from 800
Thanks Hikaru!
Hikaru does not have instructive content . But I enjoy his streams sometimes
‘One way ticket to blunderland’ - I can sleep with a smile on my face tonight 😊
I feel like the eval bar can be distracting sometimes. I like following the logic/explanation to learn things. When I see the eval bar swing I instinctively look for a tactic and ignore the commentary

Fortunately it's on the edge of the picture, so you can download the video and crop it out.
this game and almost every game in low elo are like action movies. fancy looking moves that don't make any sense because they blunder something are like the physics in star wars and star track for example.
+12 to +2 to M2 then stockfish gives a 0.0
Very instructive on how innocent/natural moves have such deep consequences
I clicked this video faster than you!!
1:40
100% he thought the knight was hanging
Hahaha true
levi if you are playing chess for 20 yrs why you are not a Grandmaster yet???????? it does not make sense.....
Очень нравится, что есть последовательное, подробное разъяснение, благодаря ему все получается и спасибо за прибыльную связку
Currently stuck at the 850 range because of how much variety is there in terms of players. I started this year off at 300 though, so overall I’m pretty happy
Lol when you see that every move you take makes your opponent stronger...
At 19:36 Bb6 fails in a neat way to Qd1+ Kh2 (forced) Qd6+ forking the white bishop on b6!
White does lose the bishop, but they are still winning if they play the move f4, after which that pawn will eventually race up the board.
this whole video was a "you had me in the first half"
What is the advantage of castling on the king's side from that position? He said that it's better, but not why.
That was fun, it's so tension filled, that was a fun 6-7 videos. Thanks for taking the time.
if rook to B1 in 15:00 you take that pawn with queen and check
"You always have to look at the weak square near your king." Golden.
I'm an 800 and I've got to say, the reasoning for so many of these kinds of moves in the end game is because there are just way too many options to choose from. A chess professional will be able to see that there aren't actually that many *reasonable* moves but to a lower level you kind of have to vet every single *possible* move. The board has so much freedom it's daunting.
The skills you have, you make chess so entertaining to spectate, love this kind of videos.
Chess is to board games what golf is to sports.
"Because chess is such a brutal brutal game and we are kind of all in this together"
Hands down the most entertaining chess video I've ever seen in my life.
Levy on every move: Now they should play this to set that up... also Levy on every move: they did not see that.
I have to agree that 800-1,000 is the most fun elo range. It's low enough to be fun/less frustrating but high enough that people know their pieces and a few basic principles that they just need to improve on. You get a few blunders, some average moves and some legendary moments too. Games can turn on a whim but not to the point of seeming random.
that keep me at the edge, wondering who was going to win😂🤣😂
Watching this is funnier (not more exciting, but funnier) than watching two grandmasters' game, because just when you think the game is over, another blunder lengthens the game and so on.
