@@TRBlom Thats right - it is "endspiel" for "endgame" in Russian (German borrowing). What he said was "Tolya (=Anatoly) thought - now we re gonna exchange few pieces and quietely get into endgame"
I found Queen to C7 on game #8. I know it’s not a big deal, but I’m a beginner and this is the first time I found the move on a question like this. It feels really good, and makes me motivated to play and study more. Thanks for everything you do Gotham!

I Got Beat um in chess by a Guy so dosed of one meds that He Had a constant flow of saliva coming Out of His mouth. IT fehlt Like He played only based on muscle memmory
Great pick and well presented. I was expecting the 24 Rd4 move from Kasparov's immortal game vs Topalov, but his move vs Kramnik was even more surprising and I guess you didn't want a player to appear on your list more than once.
Game 5 - I correctly guessed Bg5 from the first attempt but without any clues why is this move so good lol. Now I'm trying to make any sense of this move before continuing to watch the video any further.
I'd definitely be interested a video about some of the best grandmaster "prep bombs" as you usually call them! It's always really interesting to see when a top player has come up with something slightly different and tricky!
Hi Levy! I have a game suggestion: Anand vs Aronian from 2013. You said you were going to cover it after you did Anand’s immortal but you never got around to it. Hope you get better as well!
@@coolname9458 idk if Levy's done it but literally every major chess channel has probably covered it. You can find like 15 versions of it on youtube I'd rather Levy analyze a game nobody's seen before then be the 16th person analyzing the game
@ChessDracula The argument "I'm not putting this one in my top-10 Greatest Ever Moves, because others have analyzed it" doesn't seem accurate though. I'd think this list is about single savage moves, where that Anand-Aronian game is more systematic?
@ChessDracula Like what? The question was "why isn't A/A2013 in this video" and I'm offering a possible explanation while disagreeing with yours (there's other already-covered games in there). So you can agree or disagree with my proposed reason; if you disagree, maybe elaborate your point.
Topalov is indirectly and directly iconic. So many immortal games played against him. He has the most brilliant reactions. That one premature attackulation video. Hes a fucking gem
@ChessDracula I genuinely can’t tell if you’re trolling or if you’ve really just missed every joke in the comments, so... congratulations if you’re the former.
@ChessDracula Im impressed with how stupid people can be. 500 implies the dudes rating. I put sacking a pawn in quotation because if they sack a pawn its likely to be a straight up blunder. That being said, you are probably a 400 if you dont understand this joke, so I hope you improve your chess.
@ChessDracula I do you idiot. YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA HOW TO READ JOKES. You are the one in 67 who dont understand this joke. If 66 others can understand it why cant you.
I love the 1st one - Pearl of Poznan ... I remember reading that there is still a lot of controversy over whether this was a real or staged practice game and whether "Ortueta v Sanz" which came two years later was the 'real' game. Shirov as number 1 is fully deserved though (recommend John Emms' book "The Most Amazing Chess Moves of all Time" for anyone who just loves to see stunning moves. Great channel content .. keep up the great work !
I actually saw the last move (bishop sacrifice). As a 800, I was shocked when levy said my idea worked and i hadn’t just needlessly sacked a bishop like I usually do
My dad once told me a story about a top-player game, where all pieces were still on the board when one player stood up to gratulate and the commentators were baffled before they saw the queen was trapped. I would love to see that game.
Definitely look forward for more videos like this, featuring different players in the same video, but also dedicated videos to the best games/best moves/worst moves of certain players like Giri, Carlsen, Nepomniatchi, Caruana, Lagrave, So, Anand, and so on
Excellent stuff.But I miss my no. 1 shocking move of all tiime-Karpov`s 47.Ng2!! played in famous endgame against Kasparov in 1984.There was also shocking Fisher`s fork 11...Na4!! played against Donald Byrne in the game of the century in 1956.Fantastic channel.I am looking forward to see next parts of best or surprising moves.Good luck!
ok i now interupt watching your vid after game1 to leave this comment and thank you for reviving my magic attraction to chess that i had as a kid - i left chess in my early twenties rated around 2150 when kasparov lost to deep blue - chess became mechanical for me and i started playing baduk for a while- you hit something deep and beatifull in me which i thought was lost more than 30years ago-i am catapulted back in time when i started to learn and play with my grandfather -t❤️hank you so much you are the best
4:48 i found it before Levy ended sequence. It is easy to find brilliant moves when someone says there is one. Not so easy if you don't know in which position they are available
I always think of Tal v Botvinik game 6 of the 1960 World Championship, Tal's Nf4!? I know the move was unsound, and that it would never be played again, but it's that same temporality that makes it so amazing.
Qg3 is the best move I've ever seen. Followed by Qg7. Not taking a piece, but just plonking it in front of other pieces, is always the hardest move to find.
These were actually really good moves but for me the insane calculations of garry kasparov are still the best thing that has happened in a chess board.
The Mysterious Germans game was my favorite; the white queen just diving into the box of black rooks and queen, and going off like the asdf mine turtle... "Hello!"
Levy: I'll give you 10 guesses and you still probably won't get it Me: Hmmm what's the most random move that looks terrible? Bishop g5? Levy: The move is bishop g5 Me: Okay now give me a challenge
Oh yeah that Shirov Bishop move is fire for sure. I wish Gregory Serper's game where he sacs every piece he has or the taxi driver problem that only Tal could solve (on a walk in his head) had made the cut but otherwise very cool list.
Yeah, the Serper game is totally insane, but it's not a single move or a combination, but several absolutely brilliant moves distributed across all the game.
I checked the channel 6 times over the past 48hrs waiting to see if there is a new video. Didn't know Gotham chess has infiltrated my life like a rook or a queen on the back rank. Edit: posted the comment before i saw the first 10 seconds. Get well soon.
4:49 can confirm I watched this clip while high and I came up with knight E4 because it threatens to win the queen by forcing the king to move via discovered check if white begins trading pieces, leaving the queen to be captured unless the white queen retreats.
Much Thanks for yet another inspiring video. Would love if you could make videos which are a combination of your rapid games rating climb series and an analysis of Mikhail Tal games. A pre-requisite for such a video would be games of Tal that you don't know by heart. What I specifically mean is the following: Make a live video where you go through a game of Tal. Before each of his moves, you analyse the position and state your best move that you would yourself make. Then you play the move he made (surprising yourself) and comment on his move. I learned the most from your live games; learning the thought process and etcetera. These days, I found that going through Tal games trying to spot his moves before surprising myself completely changed my habit thinking. I had a rating climb over the past 2 years from 1600 to 2000.

The golden coin game reminds me of Rossolimo vs Reisman 1967 - please consider covering that game in future!
I was hoping to see the Rook sacrifice in Kasparov's "immortal game" against Topalov.
It's the whole game after the rook sacrifice that makes it immortal; not just that one move.

Me: Hmmm what's the most random move that looks terrible? Bishop g5?

Much Thanks for yet another inspiring video. Would love if you could make videos which are a combination of your rapid games rating climb series and an analysis of Mikhail Tal games. A pre-requisite for such a video would be games of Tal that you don't know by heart. What I specifically mean is the following: Make a live video where you go through a game of Tal. Before each of his moves, you analyse the position and state your best move that you would yourself make. Then you play the move he made (surprising yourself) and comment on his move. I learned the most from your live games; learning the thought process and etcetera. These days, I found that going through Tal games trying to spot his moves before surprising myself completely changed my habit thinking. I had a rating climb over the past 2 years from 1600 to 2000.
can you analyze a game played b/w Tal and Jack Miller. that was one of the wildest games ive ever seen
That Kasparov game reminds me of Alpha Zero while Tal reminds me of an early Lc0 where she would play with her food.
« He played Anatoly Lutikov, which just sounds like a guy who’s a chess master » 🤣
