I think I like watching these type of videos (normally higher elo ones) because they help add to my mental library of information on which moves are bad and which are good. It somewhat elevates my general chess intuition.
Very seriously, unless you are over about 2200 people still learn something from these games. They are like chess puzzles, not positions you are gonna see at a high level in a real game. Just thinking about them, and having levy explain what should happen and stuff will still help you think more creatively. Actually, giving 100 elo middle games to strong players is quite interesting to see because they really have to get creative to salvage it lol. They are also just fun to watch, i dont understand why so many (self-identified...) advanced players whine about him "wasting time" with these games. Even if most of his audience WASN'T 700-1000ish it can still be entertaining and instructional.
It's funny. I played somebody yesterday in a 2 game match. I beat them in the first game and then they offered a rematch and we played a second game. During the second game they accused me of cheating, said I was playing like a GM, and then proceeded to absolutely destroy me. They were immediately banned for cheating after the second game. When i checked game review, their opening and middlegame were both above 96% accuracy. I guess a lot of people just get mad about losing and then start cheating lmao.
@@dumbeldore9067 there is no greater feeling in the chess world then destroying people twice, they send a rematch invite like "you cant beat me twice" and you then you win again and basically owns their soul at that point.
I will never understand cheating, you never actually won. You were basically a facilitator in a match of a machine vs someone. Like, where is the satisfaction in that?
Well, either sign up for over the board tournaments or get used to it because that's all online chess is now. When you sign into a chess website you've basically made a deal that you're just seeing how good your theory is for 10 games.
I miss his old videos in general. Before he started yapping to hit the 30 minute mark. It's clear he wants his videos to be played as background noise rather than smth to be watched intentionally. Genuinely kinda sad to see one my favorite chess youtubers drop his videos' quality for views but it is what it is
i agree he has started yapping a lot especially in the beginning and end im fine with the jokes etc and daily life updates but its the promotional content and unending talk abt chess board, book, courses, sponsors which annoy me the most and literally take up like 5 minutes every video
Because you are matched up with guys suffering from an Elo tilt so basically, they are better than 700s, but they lost at 900s level so back to old school.
There's also different types of 700s. Some people are hard stuck, whereas some are simply pretty new and on their way up. I started last summer around that range and now I'm pushing for 1600. I wasn't below 1000 for very long though, maybe a month?
I feel this way too much. I rarely get out with anyone who plays the game _really_ badly, and colossal mistakes that swing the game from +5 to -5 (or vice versa) seem to almost never occur. And when they do occur, it's always me that does them.
27:50 I would attack with the knight here. It wouldn't be missed for free, I will win free pawn and most importantly I was hyper focused on that part of the board and completely forgot that attacking with the bishop is an option until you mentioned it.
Quite a few of us would actually play the last game with white similarly to the cheater. Why? The Nelson bot (now called Junior I think) plays this crap regularly with black, and in the aftermath of our Nelson games we can see the computer analysis and learn how to punish this setup.
It's not the opening of that game that was the most sus, but the flawless stockfish-approved middle game that involved ignoring obvious good ideas to build up an advantage to go for very obscure great ones
Seriously i cheated once (when I was around 850) and i felt so bad afterwards I realised how much wrong it is, it did not improve my chess. Today I am frustrated and stuck at 1300, but still I am happy because I reached there myself.
I cheated when I first started playing chess at like 900 elo. Made no improvement and got banned. Literally accomplished nothing. Now I'm 1500 from actually playing with my own skill. Its so much more satisfying
Never been 700, but all of us have blundered and lost won games. In 1994 I had GM Walter Browne dead busted in a Classical Kings Indian as black during a simul and blundered the game. I could have beat a GM....smh.... DONT CHEAT!
I used to cheat in chess when I was little because i was horrid at it and got banned within about 3 matches but then i realized how stupid I was and started actually playing the game. Now 4 years later im a complete chess addict at 1295 elo (I still suck)
I’m around 500, the reason I can’t get higher is not skill, it’s the fact that I mainly play chess when I don’t have the patience to actually look at the board before doing a move
15:31 The fact that pawn to D5 is the best move here is hilarious because that's the move I said I would have played because I forgot that not five seconds earlier you pointed out the hanging pawn on G7. Repping that 400 elo chess for life.
The problem with cheating is that you can make it undetectable. There is no person or system from the outside who could determine for certain if several (and therefore not a whole line) moves were copied from an engine.
I have been saying this entire time this is more common than you think. There are way more people who get severely upset and cheat at lower levels just because they don't think they'll ever get caught. It's annoying.
