Back when I was a kid, my chess teacher explained us that if you meet a king you should bow. However, if two kings meet and both bow, they will headbutt eachother. Thus, they can never be next to each other.
Kneel before kings.

Levi constantly telling me to stop wondering when the kings will finally touch while I'm just watching a game of chess is something else.
Hikaru: "Give it up, I have the high ground."

This man really made a 20 minute chess video about one of the oldest chess memes. Love it.

Reminds me of a story Ben Finegold told when he was a kids tournament arbiter. He was asked to look at these kids' game, and after he asked "Where are your kings?", the kids replied: "Oh, we exchanged them long ago!"

12:28 - Levi starts complaining about US economy

How much time?!
@@headr0x 38 seconds I think
Beautiful
he actually complained a little more about heathcare right after that
That’s all the time he took? People make entire careers doing thst
That pawn on d4 was an isolated pawn weakness, but we didn’t realize it wasn’t just a physical weakness… As soon as Hikaru took the pawn, Vidit was so overcome with sadness that he threw his king right on Hikaru’s sword! Emotional weaknesses cannot be underestimated.
One of the best things about Levy's commentary is that he always acknowledges certain moves/lines are better for weaker players and others only really apply when you are strong enough to fully understand the position.
Yea
AND HE SACRIFICED... THE KIIIIIIIIIING!!!!
1:21 Thanks for asking this Levy! I’m currently watching this in the year of 1916, in the middle of the trenches, waiting for my commanding officer’s whistle to send us over into no man’s land!

🤨📸
In the Japanese variant of chess, called Shogi, capturing the king is an option.
On a separate note, I had a case in a tournament where I had been in check for about 3 or 4 moves and neither of us realised it.
What did the referee say?
@@Alexander-mh5ov The referee never got involved. Once the mistake was identified, I got out of check and we played on.
@@reubenmanzo2054did you win?
@@Alexander-mh5ov I don't remember. All I really remember about the game was that moment. I was thinking about my move when I noticed something and asked other player "how long has that bishop been there?", he said "about 3 or 4 moves, why?", "I'm in check." Since it would've been too difficult to try to backtrack the moves, we decided to play on, so I addressed the check.
@@reubenmanzo2054Bishop, or the upgraded variant...?
18:40 bro was so focused yet the second he saw the king move he got filled with confusion
It's now the year 2087,
The jongs persist, a means to an end,
No one speaks of Gotham's descent,
As his stare holds us in suspense.
His gaze, a race we cannot win,
Quickly slipping away in the end,
Do you move as you should or as you feel?
This is chess, this is Gotham, these are kings with backs of steel.
WOW
Ayo
I'll wait until 2087 and i will see this again

That's pretty good. Nice.
"they take the clock and bash your head in with it" mane i don't wanna go to chess tournaments anymore💀💀
What a beautiful way to honor each other and a real example of brotherly love and diplomacy. Without the opponent, a chess match would be impossible. A good omen.
Capturing kings is how I first taught my kids to play. When I tried explaining check, it was just frustrating telling them that a move they wanted to make, that seemed to make sense, was illegal. So instead we just played a few games where they could play that move and lose. Then checks made a lot more sense to them.
Beyond beginner level, an essential aspect of the game's rules is that a player who isn't in check can never be obligated to move into check, and someone who would force an opponent to move into check does not get credit for a win.
Bros martin
Out of all due respect, kings captured is a little bit violent.
@@flatfingertuning727 If you wanted to keep allowing this rule beyond beginner play, you could make it so the stalemated player must see that and claim a draw, rather than it being automatic.
@@headr0x The historical explanation I've read for why you don't actually capture the king is that over the centuries that chess was developed, actually depicting a king being killed would have been treason.
hikaru's reaction along with the mate in 49 is just so good
I swear levy makes chess so fun and interesting 😭 damn bro

I'm always amazed at Levy's ability to make politically charged jokes without taking a political stance or making a political statement. It's great.
I loved seeing the actual replay of this moment IRL, it would be great to see more moments during the actual games!! Even just the winning moments or something, it's fun seeing the real people after your recaps.
@@pewoxide press F to pay respects
also, I want reenactments then
Checking with your king should be legal as a way of saying “I resign. Take my king.”
Only at GothamChess will we get a 50 second rant about movie theaters during a chess video
Vidit:*is about to lose on time*
also Vidit:i am gonna do what's called a touching move *makes illegal move*
The king sacrifice video is actually the reason I started playing chess, so thanks for covering it. I forgot that there was a whole game played before that moment
11:51 I have never related to a pawn this much in my life
4:32 "this is called minority attack" 💀
In my country they call it a hate crime.
"Taking the king should just be legal."
Ah. This significantly influences endgames by eliminating stalemate. Also, because it eliminates stalemate, it changes what materials are required for checkmate. King and pawn and king and bishop checkmates become possible and a king and 2 knights can force checkmate.
19:53 Bro my whole family who wasn't even watching the video just died when Gotham said this
12:15 was a real New York moment for Levi lol

I heard a Boston acc with a dash of elmo at 12:12
20:05 "just take the King" -- Damn right!
The way I think of it, the *real* Victory Condition of Chess is: "The game ends when one of the Kings is captured." ("Or when this becomes impossible, for any of a few possible reasons that make it a draw.")
But that never actually happens! Because the rules defining Checkmate, and the ones around Check, make it impossible.
Think how much more *satisfying* it would be if the Checkmated player were allowed to make some final move anyway -- one that's physically possible, i.e., one that would be legal *except* for the requirement to get out of Check -- and then the winner would get to actually, physically, capture the King.
Consider the following proposed rules change: All rules about requiring you to escape Check are either deleted, or at least amended to say "..., if at all possible." The whole concept of Checkmate is then retired, or renamed to "forced resignation", and is made optional.
How does this change the game? NOT AT ALL! That's the point: Every time a game ends in Checkmate, what's "really happening" is, the losing player is resigning one move ahead of the unavoidable capture of their King.
So the rules requiring you to escape Check are logically redundant. Like in this example -- there's no rule explicitly stating that the Kings can't touch, right? No such rule is needed, because it's an *implicit* consequence of the more general rule that you can't move into Check.
Think how much cooler this video would be if Hikaru had simply taken it in stride, picked up his King, and used it to knock over Vidit's King.
love frotting, gotta be one of my favorite chess moves
The deathly stare at the beginning is what truly makes Levy himself.
The clip for this is legendary. Hikamura Nakaru makes me laugh every time xD

Levy: You should just be able to hang your king and let your opponent take it
Also Levy: The kings should be able to touch each other

How can someone feel this many emotions playing a board game. This is so fun . Good going levy
I agree with what you said in the beginning. No checkmate, just capture the king makes more sense and relies more on someone's ability to see what's going on. Would be especially useful in low-rated games.

Vidit was just like "Simple, I will check the king with my king... wait..."
I'd really like to commend Vidit for sacrificing his king for a win.
19:10 what a shame for all the Earth. No aliens from respected planets will now visit the Universe's Chess Tournament in New Vasyuki!
Actually I'm pretty sure if you miss a check your opponent is allowed to declare a win
When I was like 10 I've always played chess with my mother and my older brother and we actually had the rule that if you miss a check the opponent can just capture the king. But also you always had to say check if you put the other king in check, so this rule mainly applied when someone moved a piece that was pinned
AND HE SACRIFICED... THE KIIIIIIIIIING!!!!
Did you forget about this rule: you can’t put urself in check
Levi's rant about the US in the guise of a movie theater is a beautiful thing. 10/10
Came for the thumbnail stayed for the game
I keep forgetting the main thing about this video; the kings touch, so I'm sitting here going "Oh, that's an interesting move," and then I hear you say "I know, the kings haven't touched yet," and then I remember what this video is about. Not just that it's a good chess game with good tips.
I fully support kings touching one another, it’s about time that we becoming more accepting of these kinds of relationships.
Man, I love when I get to watch Leon Trotsky teach me about chess!
Actually the clip when Vidit moved the king towards Hikaru's king was the first chess clip that I saw on the internet 😂

11:45 Vidit doesn't want the pawn to have friends though...
I wanted to see Hikaru's sincere reaction. He's such an innocent that his reaction has to be immediate and sincere of childlike disbelief :)

Ofc
Its like a patented ChatGPT move: "Ke3+, putting pressure on your rook on a8"
Which would only make sense if the king was on e4 or f3 with a queen or bishop on h1 or g2, with the enemy king on d5, c6, or b7.
