Potentially educational series idea: Something like guess the elo but where the Gotham Sub is live with Levy and they explain what they're thinking when they play each move, and Levy says if the thought process is valid or not.
That's an interesting idea, perhaps he could do an episode of GTE where he does that. Technically they are live with him in chat and they will at times explain their thought process, but a more dedicated episode where that is the focus would be interesting.
@@mdaayanahsankhan9600 Is it okay to merely enjoy chess as a pastime as opposed to a sport.

Is it okay to enjoy those sports as fun games, rather than being forced to treat them as a means of competition?
@@litessbu no absolutely not............ But those games helped me understand the strategical thought in a game....... And that's why I enjoyed the games a lot

I'm newish to this series, and have recently watched all previous episodes. I believe this was the first smoother mate. We've been teased with it before, but it never actually happened. btw I could be wrong, going off of pure memory.
thanks levy. you have no idea how much laughter and joy these episodes bring me, especially when exams and college applications are a huge stress on my mind, so i really appreciate these videos and look forwards to them daily
I don't think there's been a smothered mate that actually got played in guess the elo, but I remember there being an episode where Levy showed a possible smothered mate in the past....might have to go back and look for it.
Me and my kids actually play dice chess. We role the dice, and whatever piece it lands on has to be either moved or captured (if King is rolled, you can move your king or give a check). The only exceptions are if the dice role does not allow a legal move or if your king is in check. 1 = Pawn 2 = Knight 3 = Bishop 4 = Rook 5 = Queen 6 = King

I think it’s probably the rubbing alcohol you’ve been drinking that have dropped you 1000 points rather than the TH-camr.
I think you may have problems counting numbers, it was only 2 zeros isn't it? right above the beloved 2 digits players
The fact that it was mate in 52 at 11:00 is incredible.
With the current 7 piece tablebase, the longest sequence is mate in 549.
@@tomriddle2257 Sure. But I didn't know Stockfish even calculated 52 moves in advance.... To be fair, it is the endgame.

Guess the Elo episode 30. Game 1. The Gotham sub smothered mated his opponent. Ban him.
Hi Gotham, thanks for providing us with great chess content. I’ve learned so much from you. 👍🏽
10:53 this the game my friends who pretend they play chess are talking about
Smothered mate in GTE has happened before. Episode 30, game 1. The infamous g4, g4, g4, g4, g4.... game.
16:00 Levy so flabbergasted that he turned into a siren
10/10 stare, eventough it was relativly short😢
On episode 30 of guess the Elo, a smoother mate occurred in the 1st game 🫶
Guess the ELO #30: Cheater or Grandmaster? featured a smothered mate in the first game, so now he gifts 10 subs and gets permabanned :)
that bazooka aimed at a wall then moving your own car in front is a genius analogy

3 = Bishop

6 = King
