3:00 As someone who has the immense skills of an 800, I can tell you exactly how White saw one diagonal but not the other: Queen is good piece, but bishop is diagonal piece, and diagonal piece go diagonal
"I'm guessing 700 because the endgame was okay" Bruh as a 700 player i can tell you, most of us can only clutch the endgame with luck. I've gotten so many stalemates while down by a lot of material
Do you get random jumps in elo too? Last year I was about 350, and I didn't play much so by march this year I was only 400, but SUDDENLY literally overnight I become 600, and then jump to 670-700, and after a few weeks of that, I immediately jump to 790 like wtf is this normal
@@maxkho00 Hop in the magic school bus we are going on a big road trip to find out who the heck asked!! Also i'm going to set a goal to get to 1000 by the end of the year out of spite and if that doesn't work im fine with it because thats an unreasonable goal
Levy likely memorised every world championship game in the last 200 years, at least the ones where something actually happens. Would be a good series if he was a much lower rated player up to say 1700 so he wouldn't know almost any if any game at all
I always laugh when Gotham is shocked by random bad moves in the 1000 ballpark. 900-1100 is basically the realm of mostly ok to good moves with the occasional ridiculous mistake. "How are you 900" when they really only made 1 big mistake in an entire game is a silly question because that's sorta the 1000ish trademark. A series of ok moves, occasional bit of good play, and 1 big "whoops".
I am same level (mostly 950 blitz) and I agree. But it also depend of the game difficulity. I had a game when I got 2-3 blunders in the row becouse i didn´t see possible pawn storm at the start of middle game. It didn´t took me anything but greatly block my knight move. Some other game You can have over 90+ accuracy with some luck becouse there are no difficult position. In today 1100game (Levi thought much higher), I guessed 1250 becouse , alright they played nicely, better than me , consistently. But becouse of early trades there were not so much place for big mistakes. 1200 can handle it occasionally.
Exactly, there are days when I feel like I could play Magnus Calrsen, 5 wins straight, other days I am just the "noob". Yesterday I was winning with +4 but then I had to go and blunder backrank mate. I was like "aaah why?"
So true, it’s why I’ve been yo-yoing from like 950-1050 because I can play really well some games and the others I make the one “whoops” and EVERYONE punishes it 🤣
21:42 I actually think that white saw that the f pawn was pinned to the queen, so they thought "haha I will play this move and they can't take", but then white haven't realised that the pin was broken
Just letting you know that we are not getting bored of the series and I am learning a ton from your content. I am 900 and started playing 2weeks ago! And I am obsessed with your Twitter content haha
33:57 did Levy seriously calculate and see that insane checkmate in just a split of a second? This is just crazy to me. I already knew there were worlds between a player like him and me, but now it feels more like galaxies. Huge respects, what a machine. Honestly! Besides that Levy's such a great guy, I love his humor and his videos are even for a noob like me so enjoyable. Also, my TH-cam addiction feels so much more justified since i've subbed him. Thanks for getting me into chess!
he mightve saw it, but considering how he saw mate the same time engine calculated, he probably saw engine evaluation M3. Probably habit for him now to check engine every few moves or so during GTE series
Not to throw shade at Levy, but I think he simply read the engine line. That being said, it's not implausible that he did see it this fast. What does he often say? "Checks, captures, threats." In a situation like that in particular, where the King is on the run, you should always look for checks, no matter how silly they may look, because it's highly probable that you can force the King to run out of space.

Hi Levy, just wanted to say thank you so much for all your content. YOu introduced me to chess and over the weekend I played my first proper OTB tournament against Neil McDonald and almost won. Much love from England!!!
Actually, this rest day is probably the best rest day ever in the history of the highest sporting event. It's Monday, the end of the month, everybody is doing their job or daily tasks, you don't feel impatientce of no World Championship game missing. A brilliant tactical maneuver to reroute your attention. Tomorrow the rumble begins.

IMs and GMs: makes great moves Stockfish when I analyse an IM or GM: No Brilliants, 1 great move, 1 best move, 20 blunders and the coach says “That was a horrible mistake” at least 69420 times
Love this series, may I offer a suggestion? After making your guess and revealing the elos, maybe also show the engine's thoughts on the performance elo of each player. It's interesting if you guess their actual elo, it might be more interesting if you guess what actual strength they played at and check against the engine :)
"bought my course, studied for 36min and then didn't touch it for 6 months, convincing yourself that you're really busy" damn reality check hits hard man
Just going to say this Levy - I love you You make all these awesome recaps and instructional videos plus honestly the best series on TH-cam, you really are worth more than the entire chessboard
the computer's description of game 4 as "chaotic" and "both players having many chances to win" was actually prettymuch on the money, they each did have multiple opportunities to win (by playing mate in 1) and i don't think anyone can deny it being chaotic
I think Gotham underestimates just how much people blunder pieces. I mostly just play blitz but people are still blundering pieces/forks/mate at 1500+ (including me)
31:44 the analogy you were looking for was, this is like losing in a boxing match against someone who didn't even move because you ran headlong into their fist
idk why but I kinda like rxh4 at 32:02 cause after queen takes he can sacrifice the knight on b4 and after cxb4 Qxb4 it’s forking the king and the rook and black cant block with the queen
I laughed so much during this video, I swear to god I'll twist your ear if you stop GTE anytime soon Let it run for 200 episodes atleeeeeaaaast And do one gte every rest day
Levy in GTE be like “This person played a great game, but this one move was terrible so they must be 700.” Then the video before be like “this person blundered 4 moves in a row, but accidentally found a move that gives positional advantage. No less than 1200.”
That roast was the equivalent of bumping into someone and subsequently getting body slammed face first in to the ground. Then the guy notices the wreckage and apologizes for you having to eat through a straw for 2 weeks
this was a great episode. minus the 15 years of lifespan I lost by looking at the cancerous end matches. I agree with levy if I die before the age of 60 its because of those games
At 18:28 If black goes Nf5, white has an excellent move and that is Ne6, So now if you take white's Knight with the pawn, I take your queen, If you take my bishop, I take your queen and if you take with queen, I give a check at Nc7 Forking the rook
6:53 it is impossible to make 2 different pawn moves and make it to the 5th rank on the second move it's how math works levy btw 8:42 bishop c4 followed by knight f7 and it's a win
I love how in the last game when levy tries to make it seem like he’s just breathing out in disappointment but he actually mutters “f***” under his breath
