I believe this is the third time a game featured on this channel has gone from M1 for one side to M1 for the other. It never gets old, please keep featuring games like this
I think most of us don’t realise how muuuuch beginners love knights. I actually played someone who took the knight with his queen because he was convinced knights can do more damage
Yeah knights are terrifying at low elo ; their checks force the king to move and they can easily fork stuff out of nowhere. I'm somewhere in the 800s and I've often had knights casually picking up a dozen points of material. beginners can kind of understand straight lines and diagonals and play against it, but they just lose to knights.
The worst part about Nd7 is that we could’ve had a very cool alternating pawn line in the d file. And under promotion to rook at the end woulda been funny too.
you would think that crazy shit like that doesnt happen at higher elo. I am 1700 and my opponent rated 1750 just hung a stalemate up 19 points of material. never resign no matter your rating!
Levy: "I am on vacation. I cannot be more explicit than this. My wife is laughing at me over there." Viewers: "THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT SOMEONE WOULD SAY WHEN THEY'RE UNDER DURESS"
This game made me fart, I second before ignition I felt duress but afterwards felt quite satisfied so for me I suppose it’s a win, however for Levy, he says he’s using the mouse on his pants… I don’t think he’s wearing pants
At the end Levy was silent… and silent… So I finished for him and said “Get out of here” And then the video ended, exactly on my “Get out of here”. 😂 lol
Bro you are soooo hilarious the knight to d7 thing with the buildup literally got me rolling on the floor for an hour omg. Keep it up bro, ur excellent! I rarely comment on yt but this literally deserves it bro.
This game is the exact reason I tell people to focus on getting better in middle and end games and not openings. Beginners don't lose because they suck at openings. Beginners lose because they can't mate with 2 queens.
when I saw that pawn moving up after all the waxing poetic over not needing to guard backrank mate anymore I knew what was going to happen, perfectly foreshadowed
Has anyone else noticed that almost every day, the reason we can't gain ELO changes? Damned near every video contains the line "this is why you guys can't get your rating past x." It's almost like we might be doing more than one thing poorly. But...that couldn't be it, right? 😂 Levy, mad respect for continuing to post daily content while you're on vacation. I hope you guys are having the time of your lives.
brother. if you think you are funny, you arent. he isnt even in an art museum. that on the right is a picture in a frame. people like you make me cringe and waste time typing these replies out just to convince you that the joke isnt funny anymore. please stop.
I cried. I passed this point in my chess development many years ago, but reader, I've been there and made that exact combination of good chess and losing by rank stupidity and a failure to remain rational when I've obviously won. As Lasker said: "The hardest game to win is a won game." It's probably true at all levels, but it applies especially to bad players, in precisely this sort of situation.
It's pretty nice of the kidnappers to let Levy change rooms on the same kidnapping house
Yeah they are so kind to levy
These kidnappers are so nice and accomidating! Hopefully they get acquitted. 🥺
bro
😅shut
Probably they moved places to avoid suspicion

Levy please make a crazy house series or something like an arena. It would be so fun to watch.
We would love to see you get some 500 rated in a crazyhouse arena, this would literaly be a UFC fight
He can't because he's being held hostage
Hes been kidnapped bro
he’s trapped in the crazyhouse 😞
You KNOW this was a transformational game when Levy can't even muster his usual, "Get outta here"... Stunning.
That ending was genuinely remarkable just from the standpoint of being a human being
As one of the human beings of all time I agree
Amazingly enough, I saw this coming even when the pawn was on a5. Usually, I can't tell how the game is going to end, but I called this one.
@@christopherheckman7957it really was the only way he could’ve won tbf 😂

Today's stare was ominous and sent chills down my spine. Beware guys, Levy's captors are becoming impatient.
shut up
bro levy was an amazing person, fly high😢🕊️
I already miss him so much 😔
R.I.P man, I was looking for the comment that addressed it 😢
😢the pre-recorded videos are really making me nostalgic
Man 😢
i miss him so much rest in peace😢
Levy’s the type of guy to see a chess board, ask “are you gonna eat that?” and not wait for an answer.
oh god is this a trilogy to “sam is the type of guy that…”
@@ep_ion1112t's a tom simons reference
(I think 🤑)
@@ep_ion1112 it's a TommyInnit reference
“Black runs the king cause idk if the king crosses there it can promote to another king “ 😂 love levy’s humor
Same 😂
Thanks for making videos even though you are held captive
Thank you for repeating the joke even though its no longer funny.
I started repeatedly saying no at the end because I could see what was gonna happen this video successfully made me cry and laugh at the same time
3:01 im so proud of myself for guessing he was gonna play that move
17:56 Gotham thought for a second he could make his escape..
Rip Levy we’re sorry for your loss. Mad respect for uploading pre recorded videos 😔🕊️🕊️
Drunk as helll watching this laughing hysterically at the ending😂. Happy 4th of July everyone 🎉
Happy 4th
You should make a "why you should never resign in chess" playlist.
Levy at 14:30 "if you lose this game by backrank checkmate, that is inexcusable" 😆
(Also, no "get outta here" at the end. His soul was hurt)
His wife is in the same room, he's not allowed to say that XD
"But the engine can eat a Franc." If I'm not mistaken, Francs are Swiss currency, therefore, I deduce that you are indeed, in Switzerland.
Guess how good someone is at chess: Guess the ELO
Guess where gotham is based on his curtain: Guess the GEO(graphy)
I think most of us don’t realise how muuuuch beginners love knights. I actually played someone who took the knight with his queen because he was convinced knights can do more damage
Don’t tell me they traded a queen for a knight.
Yeah knights are terrifying at low elo ; their checks force the king to move and they can easily fork stuff out of nowhere. I'm somewhere in the 800s and I've often had knights casually picking up a dozen points of material.

@@tecnicraze Yep
@@neilu7132 and also they jump over things :oooooooooo
Guys, this might seem like a normal video on the outside, but this another form of torture Levy’s captors like to use.
15:34 "king can promote to another king" was the best part😂😂🤣🤣
Props to Levy for surviving a week being kidnapped and uploading at 12 pm for our European bros
Levi briefly mentioning playing Jak 2 on the PlayStation went so hard for some reason.
Watching The newest Gotham upload with dinner is always one of the best parts of the day.
Rainbolt be like: “That curtain looks like portugal”
The worst part about Nd7 is that we could’ve had a very cool alternating pawn line in the d file.
And under promotion to rook at the end woulda been funny too.
Surely, 400s can't be this mindless
Watching Levi talk about chess games is super funny at x2 play speed
you would think that crazy shit like that doesnt happen at higher elo. I am 1700 and my opponent rated 1750 just hung a stalemate up 19 points of material. never resign no matter your rating!
I was predicting rook promotion checkmate from a miles away. I was wrong. Should’ve know under promotion doesn’t exist in low elo.
I bet they didn't notice the pawn promotion would be mate. It was just "omg I can make a queen"
Levy giving us weird set ups every video
Props to Gotham's kidnappers being able to steal the mona lisa
Can't wait for the "I survived one week in captivity" should be an absolute banger (btw blink twice if you need help)
Jak 2 ❤ Jak and Daxter was solid gold , ratchet and clank too
It's pretty smart that Levi's captors let him swich rooms in their house, so we wouldn't find out he is being held hostage
4 letters. 1 abbreviation. stfu.
Video at 0.25 speed is exactly what non chess players think chess is about
Just asked a girl out and now im watching goatam chess
The evaluation bar just dropped as if it were flipping the board over 🤣
I thought that's what the 'flip board" button did? 🤣
Levy: "I am on vacation. I cannot be more explicit than this. My wife is laughing at me over there."

@@davidjoseph7142 I think that was code for where he has been taken and the moves indicate how many terrorists there are.
As a gothamchess viewer, I can confirm that I had violent diarrhea after this game.
At the end Levy was silent… and silent…
So I finished for him and said “Get out of here” And then the video ended, exactly on my “Get out of here”. 😂 lol
just played a chess game where i won and moved the king 11 out of 12 moves
the combined accuracy of both players was 9%
it was brilliant
I wont be surprised if Gotham starts recording in my bathroom tomorrow
Tell me you kidnapped Levy without telling me you kidnapped Levy......
17:40 b1=R# would've been even more disrespectful.
I'm so glad I was born in the time of Gotham Chess.
I saw that back rank promotion mate coming, but I thought black was going to be extra savage and promote to a rook. Big missed opportunity.
Lets just enjoy this content that this man uploads even when he is not at home.
Much love
Keep it up!

Round of applause to Levy's kidnappers for letting him post videos daily🙏🙏
stop posting this cringe

Banger comment
Read this comment 420 times. Can confirm it is indeed a banger
This game is the exact reason I tell people to focus on getting better in middle and end games and not openings. Beginners don't lose because they suck at openings. Beginners lose because they can't mate with 2 queens.
To be fair, mating with two queens is quite a challenge, not sure if anyone succeed at that.
bro said he doest like the move because the king can get past the pawns when its top engine move. What a coach
Sadly enough it was videos like this that eventually helped me get better at chess.😂
My moves always resemble something I've seen in at least one of your videos. Like "guess the ELO" or one of these disaster showcases.
Don’t worry levy the police are getting closer to you with each video you post just stay strong 😢
when I saw that pawn moving up after all the waxing poetic over not needing to guard backrank mate anymore I knew what was going to happen, perfectly foreshadowed
Levy is actually hilarious 😂what kind of anology he throws in every situation shi s funny💯
I honestly could've kms if this happened
Best chess youtuber always has helped, I’ve gone from 180 to 300 in just 2 months because of tips from Gotham 🥰
1:10 The moka behind you was a dead giveaway 😂
Levy become a GM if you’re a hostage and need help.
snatching defeat outta the jaws of victory
Levy has set a new record for most day being held hostage🫡
"Many people guessed where I was based on the background" meanwhile me, an Italian, had no clue
I love the diversity of the hostage rooms that the kidnappers picked for Levy
I can't believe Gotham has been held hostage 10 different people and still makes videos for us. What a legend
Gotham: Correct! You should do the trade.
Me who said no because i tought that a horsey is important to checkmate:
Props to levys kidnappers for letting him stay in a hotel

I remember when people were celebrating 3M subs now Levi almost has 4M congrats well deserved!

I only watched 5 seconds but am already sure that it is just another masterpiece✨ (he is pointing the gun on me please help)😊
you know its bad when levy doesn't tell you to get the hell out of here
No way!!!!!! I thought white was going to stalemate like always, but to get backrank mated like that. Oh my..! Content, indeed!!
