Bro imagine losing so hard in chess that people are still rewatching it 109 years later

It would be a honour to lose against such brilliance.
@@Carrinthe You spell honor wrong Bri‘ish
@@FireFoxie1345 shut up Murican. Honour is the correct way. You Muricans changed the spelling for some reason and nobody knows why. Possibly because you belong to the 3th world or something.
This is the closest thing I've seen in chess to taking your opponent's king into a dark alley and bludgeoning it to death with rooks.
Given that rooks have come from elephants, more apt
@@kakalimukherjee3297 bishops come from elephants i think, not rooks.
Bishop is camel, rook is elephant, knight is horse and queen is actually the army commander
@@pisquaredoversix in indonesian, we refer to bishops as elephants which highly likely derives from the indian subcontinent since a lot of indonesian/malay contain altered forms of sanskrit words

Imagine getting checkmated by a piece which didn't even move the whole game. Brutal!
Yeah, cooler than long castling in a way
Imagine being one of the chess reviewers back then, skimming through games of professional players, then out of the corner of your eye you see a game ending in "O-O-O#".
Axb8=Q# is a longer name but O-O-O# is way cooler
but honestly, Kd2# is cool too
Any move with the king to deliver mate guarentees the game is worth watching.
@@SystemOfATool tbh should have tried Bd3 so he can get the legendary Ke2#
What about bxh8=N#
Woah... I can't believe Edward Lasker pulled out a fork and repeatedly stabbed Sir George Alan Thomas in the eyes until he resigned. Chess can really get violent sometimes. Truly an amazing game!
Also can’t believe he skewered him in the heart, too...
he pinned his heart to the king too
I'm currently at the intro. Did Lasker mutilate the shit out of Thomas?
@@jotarokujo3870 same
Ah nvm, it's worse than mutilation.
When asked why he didn't play 0-0-0#, Ed Lasker reportedly said since he was an engineer, and valued efficiency. Moving one piece is more efficient than moving two.
cool as ice
Oh that's not an excuse ed lasker go round pi to 10
@@michaelhird432 pi = e = 3 intensifies.
@@michaelhird432 actually using the accurate value is more efficient
@@siddhantjhaveri I know, but there's a long-standing joke that engineers love rounding pi to increasingly infeasible numbers (provided they make the maths easier) including 3, 5, and 10.

“Violence” is the opening. The line is “Accepted”.
Fist to Head1, checkmate.

"long castle checkmate" would've been the dopest move ever made
it is so fire
I think eric rosen has a game like this on his yt channel
When replicating that on Lichess's Board Editor I changed Kd2 into Long/Queenside Castling
@Joseph Tarkington
Yes I get the same feeling...the TH-camr even said something like "if my game you go down in history I would've given checkmate by castling". Probably the video was about King's long marches
You r saying more cooler than En passant checkmate?
I've done a long castle mate before, it's not incredibly special on its own
Long castle checkmate would have been the most brutal move in chess history
I got a long castle mate once and i felt like a boss 🤣🤣
@@crazyboysince1998 Me too!
I got a short castle mate yesterday
Can you guys can share this games? Im very courius how it happend. Brutal chess all the way!!!!
Nah, I think getting checkmated through a regular king move, and having that checkmate be delivered by a piece still sitting on its home square, is infinitely more brutal. Checkmate through castling could always just be a vertical rook checkmate, checkmate by moving your king (regularly) away from its home square, is cool af
If "Call an Ambulance...But not for me" was a chess game.
This needs to be top comment.
He literally just kidnapped his king 💀

He didn’t checkmate, he just captured the king
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I will never forgive Edward Lasker for not playing O-O-O#. When you get the chance to play long castle checkmate in a game of chess, you play it because that is how you wrap a bow of pure chess annihilation and deliver it straight to your opponent.
Yeah, but the checkmate being given by a piece that never moved is pretty darn cool
the man is dead, also he didn't show off in this game. pretty sure you are that kind of person who likes to show off (that's fine, but not all people are like you)
@@kinhuien9754 ?
@@kinhuien9754 are you mentally okay?
@@samuellinn am I mentally ok for declining to accept people who can't resist the urge to O-O-O# in order to make a mate fancier because it will make them classier and elite?

Gotham: “don’t go”
Me: *stays*
Same exact thing here lol
What's even more incredible is that he played forced mate in 8 that involved moving a different piece every single move and culminating in a king move which are all pretty incredible. A king move for mate is incredibly rare on its own.
Botez found a time machine and taught Lasker her gambit. Then a wild Rosen shouted "Oh no! His Queen!".
Botez and Rosen then proceeded to save the Titanic that year.
Alternatively, they could just teach Beth the fundamentals of door sharing.
Give me the Botez and Rosen time traveling movie. GIVE IT TO ME!
@@JakeLYT nah they Botez gambited the ship too the iceberg
JSBDKDBKDDJ BAHAHAHA
My great-grandmother was Ruby Grace Thomas who was Sir George Alan Thomas's sister. She married another Thomas - Thomas Hawkins and I am named after both of them hence "Double Thomas"! I had no idea my favorite chess content creator would do a video on one of my relatives so thank you albeit he got stomped. :D
That's insanely cool, thanks for sharing
In his defence, few people would see that mate coming.
But he was British ... its not the winning, its the taking part! Being 50% of that game, was worth being stomped on for. Amazing game, he must have been astonished having to walk into back rank alley without any mates.
@@varden3270 could happen to anyone
Sure
Didn't think I'd ever see a crossover between Chess and Capture the Flag.
I come back and look at this game every once in a while
This reminds me of the dude who "kidnapped the king" in one of the Guess the Elo games. One of the most devastating ways to lose is just to be torn from all of your pieces.
Which episode is it ? Do you have any estimation
@@Alanstealth episode 3 game 3 according to another comment I read today on I think the most viewed Magnus vid review on this channel
That king just hiked to mount Everest and then fell off.
probably the only moment in history where 0-0-0# could have happened, that was epic
Or even O-O-O++ back then! Maybe not the only time mating up the board that way but possibly mating across the first rank that way!
Maybe Sir Lasker was a man of honor and didnt want his Opponent to be known as "The guy who got ladder-mated with long castles"

6:30 You just explained the existence of the Romantic era. A game with aesthetics, even a casual one, was better promotion than a respectable performance record.

Where is that from ? I can't remember it
@@AlbanianGamer313 maxor mgr
I'd like to see you cover an even more violent game: Gregory Serper vs Ioannis Nikolaidis 'The Immortal Sacrifice Game'. White wins after sacrificing all of his pieces (not an exaggeration, he sacrificed literally all of them plus one promoted queen)
Hey. just searched for the game. thanks for the recommendation. what a great game
I wanna see that video
just watched that game... WOW
We need this... Seriously show this pls
Bruh, I'm not ready for that kind of violence. It's more of brutal. It's like he hated his pieces and just throw 'em to the opponent.
"Now, we begin the extraction process..."
I have never laughed so hard at anything remotely related to chess ever.
King: _proceeds to truly get extracted_
wow. this practically immediately became my favorite classic chess game of all time. absolutely incredible. to pull the enemies king into your own rank like that
Well, levy ain't lyin. This was brutal af.
I love how i keep watching Chess video but I never learn anything
how can i relate so much?
Facts bro
Cant relate
Same
Yeah, spend hours learning, then next game I hang my queen.
Great game - thanks. Look at this : Sir George Alan Thomas, 7th Baronet was a British badminton, tennis and chess player. He was twice British Chess Champion and a 21-time All-England Badminton champion. He also reached the quarterfinals of the singles and the semifinals of the men's tennis doubles at Wimbledon in 1911.
The question is, is it more aesthetically pleasing to deliver mate with castles; or to deliver a discovered mate with a piece that has not moved in the entire game? I lean towards the later.
“A knight mate. Look at the GEOMETRY on that”
Gotham’s quotes are gold
this game is absolutly filthy, holy cow that queen sac is brilliant
Eric Rosen: *happy oh no my queen noises*
I think that is Eric Rosen's Great Gramps
Who is recording the moves to this casual chess game in 1912 and keeping it safe for 100+ years
People used to write their games down by hand so as not to lose them before we had computers - I even did it myself and I'm only fifty.
@@blindknitter It is still common practice , both at the club and in a tournament.

This is one of my favorite videos. That checkmate sequence was a thing of beauty to say the least. And the prospect of O-O-O# is so wild lol
4:23 this move set up is freakin sick 😱

Hey I play Brawl Stars too 😊
"After Lasker checkmated him, Thomas said, "This was very nice." Lasker, who had yet to learn English, was touched by Thomas's sportsmanship after a spectator translated Thomas's remark into German for him. Lasker wrote that had he won the game against a leading Berlin amateur, his opponent would likely have told him, "You are just lucky! Had I played [10...Bxe5] instead of [...Qe7], you would have been lost."
"..He missed the move order..?"
Well...I keep missing it most of the times in my games...but never made my king take "a one way ticket"

I found the forcing of the black king completely across the board highly entertaining! Thanks for that! I've been playing chess for over 55 years now, though casually for the last half. I thoroughly enjoy your videos and have learned a great deal! Especially theory: checks, captures, attacks; Greek gifts, building pawn structures on the same color of a traded bishop, the value of gambits and sacrifices to gain superior positions, danger levels, etc. Your down to earth teaching style is much appreciated!
Big fan of your game commentary style, you make the many simultaneous situations on the board very clear. Excited to see you tackle more historically relevant games!

When me and my 550 rating play I imagine Gotham is recapping all my moves and commenting on how excellent they are.
That castle mate would've been like going upside his head. beautiful that he just moved his king out of the way.. Kind of like sending someone into outer space, then when they get there your last transmission is: "wait for further instructions"
Great content as usual Gotham. I would like to see more of these, I think it's great to see the style of play from times of yore before there were chess engines.
I was really hoping after you said “London 1912” that this would lead to the First World War
“Chess Secrets I learned from the Masters” by Edward Lasker. A great read. An autobiography including his life and chess exploits.
Thanks Levy! Very informative AND entertaining! Found your site about a month or so ago and have been having a blast watching your videos and learning a ton. You and your site are a unique treasure.

I laughed wayyy too hard at this position 5:40. Pure chess comedy!
I love these historical game videos and the added theory lesson was awesome as well!
Levy I just bought Starting Out: The Dutch Defence by Everyman Chess, and read about this exact game like 3 days ago and suddenly you drop a video analysing it, this is awesome!
Edward Lasker wrote a very interesting book: Chess: The Complete Self-Tutor (Algebraic Classics Series). It's slightly more advanced than the average beginner level, but it's very informative.
Finally, I can watch Levy again after that "Dewa Kipas incident"
levy deserves better, though thanks for that, many people are now interested in chess.
This video really delivered. Thank you for sharing this game. This was incredible. Lasker owned Thomas and had him basically walking the plank. Wow! Appreciate the lesson afterwards, too.
The second half of this video was some of the most instructive chess content I've ever watched. Thank you Levy.
In terms of future content, I really like the guess the elo series and your gambit opening videos. I think that seeing some more endgame videos would also be helpful. Also I loved your tier list video with Hikaru, maybe you could do that for openings?
Love your content. Your videos constantly inspire me to play and think in exciting ways. I play daily and have gotten friends to play chess daily because of you. Absolute hunk
This was good. Like reading some nonfiction Asimov where a well-constructed story (personal, or not) provides a moral analogy before each chapter of science writing. In this sense, the history of the game and the players' stories add a layer of knowledge and quite possibly an emotional connection to the lessons you present. Nice work!
Spotting this forcing pattern and the game in general was absolute phenomenal.
Everybody gangsta till the chess gets violent
I’m watching this really high and it’s like a whole trip i swear
Loving the videos man, keep them coming.
I really enjoy your videos Levy. It’s very relatable and fun to watch plus I learn how to add new exciting things to my games. Thank you 😊
