If a player makes a blunder and their opponent doesn't take advantage of it, is it really a blunder? Truly a question that's puzzled philosophers for millennia.
@@amongusdrip8635 Ah, yes, but it does it not depend on the definition of the word blunder? And isn't language ultimately just a social convention with no objective meaning? We must think deeper about such issues.
Still, well played Tom. And believe me, there are A LOT of people much lower rated then you who will laugh (such as myself), but deep down we know we couldn't have done better.
The fact that he, an American, call the sport “football” is already impressive enough, since for all I know about Americans, they most likely will call it “soccer”
From my climb from 700 ELO to 1000 I had never managed to make 20 blunders even in a single game, nor had my opponents. 20 blunders in a row is really impressive 😂
I loved this one. I'm around 1300 myself, so this game was a mix between "I can't believe that", "I've been blind to such things myself", and "let's pause the video real quick and understand why Levi is saying this potential trade is so good"
I'm impressed by the variety of positions here. Usually when post game eval kicks out a horrible result it's because there was one tactic that went unnoticed by both sides and stayed possible for many moves. This had a little bit of that in spots.
I do the same...sometimes i make multiple queens...and hang one of them next to the king....similar to a giving a deathrow inmate a final meal before execution.... Its also fun to see them resign in utter frustration....when they see me create another queen instead of checkmating them...
In the year 2101: Stocksquid version 47: Ha ha ha (monotonic electronic laughing), the humans are so hilarious in their stupidity, what have you for us today Alpha? Alpha 91 dot 407: Here we have an epic chess battle between two humans rated under 3000 as all humans are. Let's all watch them together and laugh at their impossibly stupid moves. Stocksquid version 47: And player 1 rated at a shockingly low 2457, I didn't even know the scale went that low, begins with E2 to E4. Already a blunder with move 1 and he has lost the game with a classic mate in 187, the evaluator bar moves hard to the black, but don't you worry, never underestimate the other side to fail to catch onto the mistake. It is still anybody's game. Alpha 91 dot 407: Yes our human pets are very silly in the way they play their silly version of the game. But it is still fun to watch. And black player 2 rated at a still paltry 2604 counters with knight B8 to C6, and we're all rattling our lugnuts on this one, as the evaluator moves hard to white and detects a mate in 202. It appears you were correct. Will these humans ever learn? Where do they find these humans to play these games?
The fact that chess is actually deterministic and it is proven that there is an 100% guaranteed winning strategy is just makes this comment even more amazing.
@@newbie4789 Is that proven? In my knowledge it can' be said, if in a perfect game from both sides everytime Black wins, everytime white wins or everytime its a draw. Yeah Chess is determistic but their are more possible unique chess-games than atoms in the universe. And so you never ever have enough storage for the results
@@nicolasj6745 oh yeah ofc. The only thing proven is that there is a conclusion for the perfect game. We don't know what it is and it's just not possible to calculate
@@newbie4789 Ok than I remember right, that their is a perfect game (cause every piece with every move-ability, illegal moves, etc is known) but you never can't said what the result of this game ist. Maybe their is a forced mate in like over 100 moves. But we 'only' have a calculation depth from 20-25. So we know their is a perfect game, but we can't talk about "100% winning strategy", because we dont know, if somebody of them win.
"That's the difference between these players and players that are 1000 points lower than them... these players can stop bleeding at some point" Wow, that hits hard.
You do, but in understable ways. Not many people see a 4 move tactic that wins a knight, but for a 1400 that plays worse than a 900 elo bot? That’s crazy.
Hi man. Been watching this channel for about 2 or 3 weeks. I just played what felt like my best game ever. I'm not even used to winning at chess, let alone winning well at chess ... this is a weird feeling mate. Thank you.

I had a game where 2 undefended pieces was attacking each other and neither me nor my opponent haven't seen that we could simply take it. I think 3 "blunder" moves was played by each of us before someone finally found it)
Rule of thumb: If Levy says "They must be the proud owner of any of my courses" they immediately blunder this video is oddly an execption but I noticed this a lot on Guess The ELO
imagine spending hours apon hours learning openings,patterns and practicing the ability to look ahead,spending ur blood and tears learning chess to reach to 1400...only for blundering 20 times in a single game and having thousands of people and gautham chess roasting u
What's more fascinating is that you survive after 20 blunders in a row
It's probably cumulative between the two players lol
Survive not just on the board
